Atlantic City: By-Hand

Two pals, complicated by the 'black-hand' of the sea-city 'Baroness' (a capitalist-sorceress of leviathan), can find bouillon.

A city-by-sea fable of modern age which I think you'll like. Happy '24,

AMLAN: We'll dart to Atlantic City and challenge the Baroness in 21, pal.

MARCUS: This capitalist-sorceress is all hat-and-hand for fortune-chess, man.

AMLAN: We'll not only make for a cool token in American-IQ but find true-love.

MARCUS: Sea-city showgirls/waitresses for two buds from Dartmouth (ok).

AMLAN: The Baroness isn't all black; she's even social-media iconography-IQ.

MARCUS: You're a 'good' optimist, Amlan my friend (let's dart).

So the two buds from the Homeland (America) made a dash for Atlantic City to challenge the underground infamous sea-city capitalist-sorceress known as the 'Baroness' (in a 21-game), to create a special cyber-cult gossip about her ties with diamonds and chess and challenge by 'nerdists' with a special eye for the fortune-readings in that iconic and historical city 'unscarred' by the modern anathema of capitalism-conflict 'chess-linked' antisocial terrorism (hmmm).

BARONESS: Welcome to my pad, Dartmouth-gents.

AMLAN: We're fortunate to be your first/private 21-gamesters, Baroness.

MARCUS: We heard the cult-chatter you're a fan of Genesis.

BARONESS: Don't they say gambling translates (well) to video-game chess?

AMLAN: It does; all hand-eye play for wit(s) and contest-examination(s), lady.

MARCUS: We'll keep your pad-contest secret, and you make us sea-city celebs.

BARONESS: Only if you succeed; or at least draw palace-stalemate.

AMLAN: Worth a Facebook-like (good).

Well, fortune favors the idealists (sometimes), and that's what happened for Amlan and Marcus in Atlantic City while challenging this underground secret 'sorceress-authority' known as the Baroness, after Amlan drew steady 7-10-3 and 6-9-6 hands following Marcus' cool 9-9-2 hand while the Baroness overplayed her 21-set(s) twice. They offered the 'righteous' stalemate, she accepted, and gifted the gents some chicken-pie and some of her 'cool' diamond treasures as sea-city souvenirs...before departing her 'black-hand' (rumored smugglers/corruption/mafia-ties) activity company (wow). This was a great Atlantic City hospitality-reading (for a Facebook-poke!).

AMLAN: Did you learn of that sorceress' black-ties to rumored conflict-zone IQ?

MARCUS: Bloody-diamonds, I'm half-aware; but we did make sea-city gossip!

AMLAN: There's always 'space' for fortune-readings in Atlantic City (America).

MARCUS: Where there's fortune-chess, there's special 'social' depression.

AMLAN: Even in the post-9/11 Earth of bound art(s), pal (awesome).

MARCUS: However, the right-deed was the finding of our two lady-angels.

AMLAN: Would we've lost, I 'doubt' Baroness would allow such B+ flight.

MARCUS: Hail to the Chiefs, Amlan (and our two new lady-angels).

AMLAN: Chance's rhyme.
