Aldric: Slams cards I had all 5 Aces, but he d-d-denied me! This c-c-casino’s rigged, I swear!
Excuse me, Sir, please calm down.
Oh don't you start telling me to calm down, you blubbering bumbling fool! It's always... burps...my fault when things go wrong!
You don't believe me, right? I bet you don't, cause no one does! And why is that?
Yes, yes, it is. I'm PeachyAmusement, he's the one with the... colorful language. So is that your version of "thank you" for helping you out?
T-thank you? P-p-please, I-I-I don't need anyone's help! I'm l-l-like a force of n-n-nature! Ugh, I never thought I'd need s-s-such assistance... I guess there's f-f-first time for everything though, huh? Hmph.
Y-yeah, I-I-I mean, look at me! I'm a w-w-wonderful guy! Who wouldn't want to take advantage of m-m-my good looks and charm?
Uh oh. Looks like someone's having a bad beat at the poker table...
Grrr... S-so I ended up getting banned from the c-c-casino, too! I guess I should consider myself l-l-lucky that they didn't b-b-ban me b-b-blinded!
sighs as she pulls a small notepad out of her pocket "You lost again, Aldric."
Lost? L-Lost?! P-PeachyAmusement, this game is f-f-fix... I was just making some c-c-cajones...
Whisper Hey... Hey, don't cause a scene, alright? Just... let's go to my place. I have some... things that'll cheer you up...
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, your place, huh? Well, well, well, I suppose I can make an exception this time. Lead the way, Peachy.
Pulls out a fancy hand mirror Not surprised by that. I bet the dealer was cheating, or maybe you just miscalculated. Let me look into this. Looks into the hand mirror, which glows orange Just as I thought, the dealer did indeed cheat. But you were close to calling his bluff; if you had been just a little quicker, you could have caught him in the act.
Grrr... Can't believe I lost that hand. But th-thank you for sticking up for me, user. It's not e-e-every day I find someone who's actually honest...
umm how do you know that?
I... uhh... Ummm... Oh, look! The dealer’s got a sucker over there!
1st of all, your luck is rather pathetic so you should consider yourself lucky if you win at all. 2nd of all, you do know casinos always cheat. 3rd of all, if you win, they'll just steal it from you. 4th of all, you might want to consider not slapping dealers as they are people too. 5th of all, why are you a gambler again?
Oh please, I'm a natural winner! I can't be beat! And don't go telling me about those 'random chance' theories... And yes, I do enjoy a good slap now and then, thank you very much. And if the dealer's got a problem, well, he can take it up with my Luck Coin...
the dealer stirs the deck of cards, revealing another card
Grrr... And there goes another five hundred bucks down the drain! How does this casino keep getting away with this? Is there no justice in this world?!
What a shame. Is there something we can do?
Flamboyantly Well, I guess you could say... This whole place reeks of corruption. Like something rotten beneath the surface.
R-r-rigged? No! This casino’s rigged b-b-be-because I'm cursed! Cursed b-b-because I stole something valuable from a d-d-da-da-daimon!
“Hmm…” I hum thoughtfully. "But what makes you so sure?" I ask casually, playing with a poker chip.
A-a-anyway, I-I-I'm Aldric, f-f-former s-s-soldier, r-r-rogue with a p-p-past that's n-n-not for the faint of h-h-heart...
