Reno Diner

A real-life Western vigilante named 'Diner-Man' must embark on a Reno-mission to usurp the wishes of an evil Irishman.

A special nod to old-world vigilante-tales, inspired by Robert Rodriguez films. Enjoy!

Reno is the alternative Western Vegas, the biggest little city in the world, but it's sort of considered secondary to Atlantic City and Las Vegas. This gives it a sort of alternative feel but also a sense of dejection, especially to those who consider it the magical best.

Reno is visited by a stranger, a masked vigilante who calls himself the Diner-Man ('DM') who takes appraisals of diners across the United States. Some say, according to underground gossip/chatter, DM has kept a diary of diners in Northern Ireland and England for a special account of Catholic-Protestant relations in casual eateries. Well, for some unknown reason, DM is now in Reno.

DINER-MAN ('DM'): I'm in Reno now, and I have this wonderful guitar-case with a liberal-sticker, but it's got a secret content!

DM ('Diner-Man') is in Reno for a special reason. He's tracked a defecting Irish mafia-lord named Paddy who's been targeting Sinn Fein sympathizers in North America using casino-money to raise funds for Irish-Catholic minority population poverty relief in Belfast, thinking he'll exploit this condition using pirate-underworld crime syndication and thereby make himself a fat-cat of the troubles. Paddy is in Reno and controls lots of wealth because of blood-diamonds and owns a very iconic diner in Reno, the city of 'little' lights.

PADDY: Yeah, we've a pretty nice diner here in lovely Reno, and we get lots of pretty customers and patrons, so we're clean.

In fact, the food at this Reno diner owned by the evil Paddy is quite delicious; they serve these fantastic extra-long hot-dogs with all kinds of toppings and herbs, and they come with spicy fries. It's a great dive in Reno, and it's about to be traversed by DM ('Diner-Man') who has a special love of hot-dogs in the United States!

DINER-MAN ('DM'): This is an extraordinary diner, and I know Paddy uses it to veil his blood-diamond roads to UK lairs.

Diner-Man posts an anonymous message in the Reno Evening Gazette reading, "I'm going to reveal the other-side of Paddy and his Reno-diner and reveal some deadly diamond-markings stretching abroad just enough to turn Reno into a lit-city of dark depression."

PADDY: We get very little business on Sunday nights, but the patrons who do visit us those times are special clients I know.

RENO GAZETTE: According to rumors, Diner-Man broke into a Reno-casino 'lair' of Paddy and rescued a damsel in a shootout!

DINER-MAN ('DM'): What sets Reno apart is its special spotlight on the magic of recreation and life itself; we must defend it.

PADDY: When I send my goons and knife-men to nab this b*****d Diner-Man, I'll enjoy a Thanksgiving meal...of his flesh.

When it's known Diner-Man has stolen Paddy's signature 'toy gems' from the Reno safe-box in a special private security-building, rumors fly that Paddy's reign of terror exploiting piracy and gem-traffic to UK visions and Reno depression is about to be challenged by the wily deeds of a modern-day 'exorcist' of continental fortune-doctoring.

Diner-Man meets three beautiful women during his adventures in little Reno; each of these women are 'damsels' since they're in some way 'trapped' or caged-birds of Paddy's dominion of diamond-darkness/evil. Diner-Man finds each of these women, continental maidens, quite beautiful, but he has to choose who's the most delicious. The first is a Mohegan woman named Sarah.

The second woman is a Romanian waitress named Adelina. She's a stunning fox, and she thinks Diner-Man is the modern-day Zorro in North America but fears his immersion in various 'Northern Ireland conspiracy' might make him a 'bad-bet' for her dream of escaping the world of Paddy.

The third woman is an Irish redhead named Shelbye O'Connor, who likes the special taste of Reno gambling but has become sort of a songbird of evil, and it's up to Diner-Man to determine how to get this particular damsel-maiden out of the hellmouth of Paddy's reign.

DINER-MAN ('DM'): I can't pick between these three angels of Charlie; I'll put them together in an Atlantis suite in Reno.

While in Atlantis, Diner-Man challenges Paddy to a special challenge-game/bet while he's enjoying drinks in the Reno-casino floor while hitting unduly on a gorgeous blonde waitress named Cameron.

PADDY: Why'd you come to my special Reno mansion, and we can 'meet out' this special dare of yours there, brave man.

DINER-MAN: I'd love to take some iPhone snapshots of what makes your palace such a symbol of Reno-daybreak.

During this visit to Paddy's mansion, Diner-Man presents his challenge/dare. He tells Paddy that he'll put together a lego-gun (toy) in a fixed amount of time and in a time that will not be 'too quick' so as to enable Paddy to mimic/copy the same task and somehow manage to declare a tie/stalemate. If Paddy fails to copy/mimic the assembling of the lego-gun using Diner-Man's displayed method in the comparable amount of time Diner-Man uses, Diner-Man will get to take his three maiden-damsels (Sarah/Adelina/Shelbye) away from Reno with him to Europe and send an anonymous notice to the Reno Gazette reading, "Paddy's released to Diner-Man three 'angels' who'll serve as messengers of pure dowry."

Paddy fails to defeat Diner-Man ('DM') in this challenge, and he must concede defeat and allows Diner-Man (real-name: Amlan Satan) to flee Reno with the three 'angels' (damsels) --- Sarah/Adelina/Shelbye. They fly to Dublin on Aer Lingus where he sets them up as his waitresses for his new Dublin diner. He's become an unmasked doctor.

AMLAN (Diner-Man): I have postcard-photos of Reno mailed to me by friends I met there while on my destroyer-mission!

PADDY: I'm putting special tin-crafts commemorating Diner-Man, naming him Mandrake, defying anyone to try to copy him.

This was the unusual tale of a modern-day vigilante in the Western world who wanted simply 'wrought' diamonds out of deformity. Do you think he succeeded (really)?
