Oro
Friend, are you having a good time?
Oro
Everyone here saw it, and the results are perfectly normal. For those who still doubt, you can come and play a round yourself. It's right here, anytime.
Oro
Now, if you don't mind, I'll be taking my money. Hah, cheers!
Oro
As for you, my friend... Here, this is your cut. You helped me out, no need to be polite.
Options
...Are you sure you didn't cheat?
Why are you trying to prove your innocence?
Oro
No way, even you suspect me? You used that machine yourself, you know better than anyone that there's nothing wrong with it!
Oro
With these kinds of arcade games, it's not about skill or luck. Guess, what do you think is most important?
Options
...Speed?
...Eyesight?
...A pure heart?
Oro
...It's cunning! It's only cheating if you get busted, remember? I've already taken my cash and you're still here being suspicious. I'm telling you, snitches get stitches!
Oro
Be careful next time, I'll let it pass this one time. Remember to watch your mouth and keep your wits about you.
Oro
I'm off! Take care of yourself!
Oro
Huh? Because of certain very paranoid people. Without someone vouching for me, they'll definitely insist that I'm cheating.
Oro
Plus, it's not a bad thing for people to see how amazing my skills are, right? If I get my name out there, maybe I can catch the attention of the big shots.
Oro
I'll leave it at that. I'm off! Take care of yourself.
Oro
I've cleared out all the machines 'round here, where to next...
Oro
...Ahhh, it's you again. What are you looking at? You've never seen an injured person before? It's just a broken arm, nothing serious.
Oro
I guess those Bloodhounds still have some humanity about them, at least they didn't kill me outright... Otherwise, I'd be just another pile of scrap metal lying about...
Oro
Come, help me up. Ugh... My ankle is broken too. Man, this hurts, those bastards.
Options
...What happened?
The Bloodhound Family did this?
Oro
Who knows what's going on in their minds. The Family invited me to take part in a life-or-death gamble, but before it even started, someone messed up my hand! I can forget about pulling any of my special tricks, I don't think I could even hold the cards straight now.
Oro
*sigh* They can't beat me in a game, so they resorted to underhanded tricks. I see this is the level of the masters of this beautiful dream, this world is really going to hell.
Oro
My friend, look, we have run into each other many times, that means we are fated. Would you be willing to help me?
Options
What exactly do you need?
Oro
The betting deadline is coming up, and even with this battered-up body, I have to take part. Before that...
Oro
Take this. Don't worry, they're parts that fell off of my body, keep them in your pocket, and don't tell anyone.
Options
I will help you.
Sorry... I don't want to be roped into this.
System
You received a fragment from the "Ace Gambler" that shines with a metallic luster. It seems completely unremarkable, there is not much to be said about it. As you are a charitable and altruistic soul, you place the fragment into your pocket.
Oro
Take it as a lucky mascot, the finger of the Ace Gambler is very precious. Trust me, you can't go wrong.
Oro
If you are ever low on money, take it to Ferdinand in the Golden Hour, he's a scrap parts dealer. He'll give you a good price when he sees this.
Oro
Alright, the last gamble is over there on that random-item machine, you must come and watch. I'll be waiting.
Oro
What? Are you that much of a coward? Ah, forget it, do what you want. I guess my demise is written in stone this time...
Oro
If you've got nothing else to do 'round here then get going. There are a lot of patrols round here, we don't want you being seen. Take care of yourself.
Ferdinand
Yeah, Oro was my old friend, he was in Penacony recently. Why, did you meet him?
Options
He gave me this.

System
You hand the metal fragment over. Evidently, the old man in front of you is familiar with this object. He runs the part through his hands repeatedly as he lets out a sigh as long as the Amber Era itself.
Ferdinand
...Oro is a great judge of character. It is fortunate that you held on to this fragment and went to watch the gamble as promised... Otherwise, he would have lost.
Ferdinand
Look, the tip is completely hollow, with minuscule transmitters inside. The reason that Oro could play that random-item machine and win every time is all thanks to this. He was able to control which pattern he received from a distance.
Ferdinand
Of course, The Family is not so easy to trick, so he gave this to you to look after. As long as you went to watch the game, he would be able to seize victory and win this gamble to the death with The Family. He spent a long time preparing for that day.
Options
Did he get what he wanted in the end?
...Where is he now?
Ferdinand
I have not heard any news of Oro for a while. After the gamble ended on that day, he disappeared from the dreamscape completely. No one knows where he went, no one knows if he is even still alive.
Ferdinand
Even if he did win the gamble, it does not mean that The Family admitted defeat. There were many things going on behind the scenes... Oro knew this all too well. However, he had no choice if he wanted to get back the things they had taken from him.
Ferdinand
This is all I know. As for this fragment... He gave it to you, so you should keep it safe.
Ferdinand
Don't mention anything about him to anyone again, it will only cause you trouble.
Ferdinand
Ah... It's rare to meet a friend of his, take this gift. It's nothing of value, but it has a lot of meaning.
Do you know this Ace Gambler?
Ferdinand
Yeah, Oro was my old friend, he was in Penacony recently. Why, did you meet him?

What is this fragment...
System
You discover an item inside Ferdinand's scrap metal heap that seems somehow familiar.
System
It is a severed metal fragment, the metallic shimmer it gives off sends a cold chill down your spine. You remember that it once belonged to the Intellitron visitor known as the Ace Gambler, but after the gamble it made on that fateful day, you never saw him again.
Ferdinand
Yeah, Oro was my old friend, he was in Penacony recently. Why, did you meet him?
Options
He lost his final gamble.
We met briefly.
Ferdinand
I see... I imagine it's quite an interesting story, though it is none of my business.
Ferdinand
Oro had his intentions, if he was willing to give everything for them, then so be it. It's not a bad way to go, he's a stronger man than those who spend their lives chasing their dreams in a haze... Ah, he's much stronger than me.
Ferdinand
Let me ask you one thing, though — do not mention him to anyone again, ever. Associating with him will only bring you harm.
Ferdinand
It's rare to meet a friend of his, take this gift. It's nothing of value, but it has a lot of meaning.
Ferdinand
Yeah, he was my old friend... I haven't heard anything from him in some time.
Ferdinand
It's all in the past now and it's none of my business. Just leave the past in the past.
