Two friends initiate a special 'capitalism race' superstition 'Crusade' and may find a special rationale for a 'human' view.

A world-romance adventure (loosely) drawing on the 'superstition concepts' of The Muse (Albert Brooks). Thanks so much for reading,

Amlan Satan was wandering around the good Earth in search of a real 'Crusade' involving commerce-life Ego and fortune-oriented superstition IQ, and he found some personal momentum with a nifty children's comics stick-figure doodle of a fun urban vigilantism duo (Gotham City) featuring his special 'image' of capitalism-race highness/policework (hmm).

AMLAN: Do you want to hep me with this special journey-quest, old friend?
MARCUS: Long time since we parted ways (Dartmouth).

AMLAN: What happened to your waitress-lady (Esmerelda)?

MARCUS: Wow...she left me for a RadioShack 'stable' guy.

AMLAN: Wild horses!

MARCUS: Yeah, I got nothing to do, Amlan Satan.

AMLAN: Excellence; let's post false-gossip on social-media.

MARCUS: What's it?

AMLAN: It'll draw in surfers and draw away any media-hearsay for our covert-chess.

MARCUS: Excellence (yeah).

The two decided to travel from British Columbia to Venice and took some time for social-media poster superstition stories about air-transit (e.g., Alitalia) in the post-9/11 era and why they hoped they'd uncover a 'damsel-in-darkness' (somewhere in Europe) for a 'mermaid' story about unanticipated optimism (wow).

LAREN: You two stranger-fellows look like you're questing for the Grail.

AMLAN: We are, Laren!

MARCUS: Amlan really like you.

LAREN: Look...you two 'James Bond characters' just may find blood-diamond lore.

AMLAN: Don't doubt it, Laren, my lovely-lady of Venice.

MARCUS: Amlan will find you once we uncover the Pink-Panther gem-insurance riddle.

LAREN: Excellence; maybe social-media Euro-gals will inquire of your shadow(s).

AMLAN: Maybe I'll find another 'nurse' like you, Laren.

LAREN: Doubtful.

Well, Amlan/Marcus discovered the Venice-lair of a blood-diamond baron (Ion) and used their handheld 'alien-invader' sci-fi media-themed chess-set/toy to create a 'cool' stalemate-trophy against the calculating corrupted insurance baron of the Euro-traffic and then swapped his mansion-vault blood-diamonds (used for modern 'rogue' terrorism finance) with fakes and procured the iconic Pink-Panther gem...all thanks to the 'alien' chess highness.

LAREN: Somehow I knew you'd return for my hand, Amlan Satan.

AMLAN: It was doubtful, but you're to become my Manhattan princess lady.

LAREN: Alright...but you promised I'd have a private-studio for American art.

AMLAN: Super-deal of modern romance and life, Laren; let's to American credit.

Amlan/Laren got married and Amlan continued to make his children's comics stick-figure doodles about capitalism-race 'buzz' and vigilance, sometimes using Xmas-consumerism parody 'characters' for commerce-life superstition tales and his new cyber-homeschooling/arts venture called NewActivision. Laren had become his 'real' Elizabeth/Queen.
