Two comparable media-figures, move-stars in court-state, were wandering around Oakland during the World Series matchup of great lore in So-Cal when they took note of a special former one-hit wonder actor-thespian named Amlan Satan who'd appeared to make an 'immaculate splash' at the Oscars show with his ground-removing performance as an IRA-man but didn't eventually win because of the politics surrounding the actual-winner that year, a big-time star who'd made a very culturally symbolic film about the Roosevelt era. Nevertheless, the two media-figures remembered this 'one-hit IRA' thespian-man of Oscars night and earnestly/sincerely wondered if he was alright and doing well these days in Tinseltown!

They noticed the man, who usually appeared in public events in business-suits, was costumed as a strange 'Sherlock Holmes' like character, with special tool-kits in his leather bag which he claimed revealed he'd become an 'Ichabod Crane' of modern So-Cal, on the trail of the Headless Horseman who'd threatened the very-existence of 'faeries' (tiny winged humanoids of the Earth-forests with magical messages of wisdom/warning!). The two media-figures were horrified, realizing this one-star potential 'IRA-thespian' man of Oscars-night had become something of a wandering/aimless lunatic with claimed 'metaphysics' arrows of detective-works. They asked the man, Amlan Satan, why he'd become interested in 'faerie-lore' on Earth, and the costumed and once-brilliant thespian told them whispering, "Losing the Oscar made me rethink the nature of my lifelong 'aim' of personal intentional dragons, my old friends of Tinseltown!"

The two media figures went home and made love. They were grateful that they had a much 'easier' time in Tinseltown, rising to the top-stops and staying there! They thought about the 'earnest' personal/spiritual 'tribulation' of the one-time star of Oscar-night, Amlan Satan, who'd somehow/strangely become some kind of 'shadow' of the media-celebrity he'd once 'adorned' as a certain laurel in Tinseltown! This was a time of media flowery, and the two love-birds remarked, "Amlan Satan was sort of that 'Ichabod Crane' messenger reminding us why there's a 'new' version of Citizen Kane in every generation!"
