Peter's Vegas Exile

Is a 'real-life' Peter Pan 'character' the right 'Bartleby' for an inside-stunt in Vegas involving sports-treasures, poker, chess-color, and a 'diagonal' Queen?

A fun fable about Vegas-underworld(s), inspired by Honeymoon in Vegas (Nicolas Cage), which I think you'll like (and Happy New Year's!),

Peter hopped to Vegas and entered Caesar's (Palace) and was determined to win some good money while showcasing his 'cool' Strike-Force 'original' red-print edition of a Randall Cunningham post-Eagles career team-transfer (Viking-QB) Super Bowl ambition-symbolic pro-football spirits-card (Upper Deck) to a visiting blood-diamond fatcat named Kahn who happened to be an 'avid-fan' of social-media and Facebook-chess (ha).

KAHN: Caesar's had become my special venture-abode of capitalism-IQ and no one shall break my sportsman-card game here!

The real 'secret' of this bloody-bad baron of Vegas (Kahn) was not only that he made Caesar's (Palace) his den of darkness but that he wanted to undermine any 'rascal' or 'self-idealized pirate-mystic' (like our protagonist-hero Peter!) who'd 'dare' claim they'd achieve some sportsman 'deed' during his extra credit suite card-showcase 'game' which drew in various underworld 'Gargoyles' you might see 'cast' in some modern American cinema (ha).

PETER: All's I need to do is get to the game-table (Kahn) and convince him my 'flair' of red-cards is superb (wow).

KAHN: You met a guy on the game-floor who claims he's a 'wiz' with a red-suit 'deed' player at poker (etc.) and dares me?

GUARDSMAN/GARGOYLE: That's right, sir...and he's claiming he's a 'pitch-perfect' fan of American cinema-lore/chess-IQ.

KAHN: Alright.

KAHN: What the hell is this --- you brought your own 'box' of Lucky Charms (limited-edition) green-candy milk cereal (food)?

PETER: I use theatrical behaviors, Kahn; sometimes I write pirate-lore on cyber-comics forums with the pseudonym Satan.

KAHN: Satan (the devil)?

PETER: No, no, nothing that 'outlandish' for readers/Americans, Kahn...Amlan Satan.

KAHN: Aha, sounds like a 'clever' spin on ice-hockey celebrity nomenclature (haha).

PETER: Cool...do you want to try some of this green-milk 'candy' Lucky-Charms brand-variety cereal (food) with Parmalat?

KAHN: Alright, Prince Satan (haha).

What Peter was really after was Kahn's dancing belly-dancer 'slave-girl' named Esmerelda who always performed in her gypsy-outfit for his night-suite card-games which drew in underworld Gargoyles. The 'trick' would be to persuade the blood-diamond bad-baron that Esmerelda ('Ezzy') would fly-away with Peter as a 'fair-exchange' of diplomacy sovereignty for a Caesar's (Palace) game-show about 'wrought' capitalism sportsmanship...involving his Strike-Force Randall Cunningham Viking-QB (Upper Deck) sports-market 'treasure' prints (wow).

KAHN: You want to offer me the 'silver-edition' replica print of the Strike-Force double-pair of Cunningham Viking-QB cards?

PETER ('Amlan Satan'): This is a 'fair-exchange' for Ezzy's hand, Kahn; keep the silver-edition replica print of the double-set.

KAHN: Why?
PETER: You could tell your PR-goons post on social-media that you took the silver-edition Super Bowl card (diplomacy).

KAHN: I'm not a diplomat, Prince Satan...I'm a businessman (haha).

PETER: Fair...but your lavish suite with a Vegas-Eiffel view suggests to me you need a sports-market treasure trophy (hmm?).

KAHN: Alright!

Well, first Peter had to 'shine' with his claimed 'deed' of red-suit poker-card wiz-like chess-skills and then procure that silver-edition replica of the double-print set of the Strike-Force Randall Cunningham post-Eagles career (Viking-QB) card prints and then remind the bloody-baron that this entire Caesar's (Palace) 'social-media friendly' game-show would be 'excellence' in underworld PR-marketing for modern ideations on underground 'characters' seeking 'overground' democracy.

KAHN: Why'd you get to keep the 'original' red-print edition of the Strike-Force double-pair Super Bowl ambitions card-set?
PETER ('Amlan Satan'): You've guessed shrewdly that a Cunningham post-Eagles career card-set is 'true' treasure-chess!

KAHN: What's so 'special' about the silver-edition replica-print of the double-set, Prince Satan, and why's it worth Ezzy's hand?

PETER: You may guess, Kahn...at Caesar's (Palace), it's all about entropy (for inventive romanticism).

KAHN: Alright!

PETER: Also...keep this Sox-Yankees rivalry-themed chess-set box (toy!) as my gift to you, Kahn; for 'extra' social-media IQ.

KAHN: Aha...I'll appear to be some kind of Western sportsman-gamesmanship showman, you hint, right...Prince Satan (haha)?

PETER ('Amlan Satan'): You're a good man of game-show, Kahn; all's you need is some social-media charm(s) --- cool stuff!

KAHN: Alright, Peter; keep this 'fair-exchange' about 'underground' angels a secret, won't you, young man?

PETER: You got it!

ESMERELDA: I can't believe you pulled it all off, Peter.

PETER: Didn't I tell you...I'm the 'real' Peter Pan, Ezzy (haha)!

ESMERELDA: I can envision it...Martians playing poker remarking that you're the Earth 'prince' of Caesar's (Palace) Ego.

PETER: It was all worth it for the human race of pentagons.
