RACCies: Night of the RACCies #5: The Mission!

[Scott Eiler]

Our Heroes are January Frost, Mary Mystery, MaryBeth the Hit Girl, and 
Love Princess Gorgoneion.  All others have been left behind by the pace 
of this good old time RACCies cascade.  Our Heroes have been thrust 
toward another universe, to seek an old threat.

But they get stuck, somewhere in a sea of fog.

 From out comes an old man with a hat, some long black hair, and a death 
face.  He says, "Oh, right.  You must be here for him."  The death face 
disappears.  He leads on...

Mary Mystery recognizes the death face.  She follows.  Everyone else 
follows behind.

Beyond the fog...  An older man with a shock of wild orange hair, is 
driving a golf cart.  "Hooray, I can do this for myself when I'm on my 
meds!"

The former death face has taken on human form.  He speaks softly to Our 
Heroes.  "You can call me Wyatt.  On behalf of my universe, I apologize 
for a Trump incursion last year.  That was *that* one."  He points at 
the man in the golf cart.  "He came back crazy.  Or maybe sane.  Either 
way, he will be no further trouble to you."

Mary and Wyatt nod.  Mary turns the others away.

January Frost asks first.  "What the hell was that?"

Mary Mystery responds.  "Oh, just my great-uncle or something, who's the 
Avatar of Death now, and he's keeping track of President Trump."

"... You mean, he's *your* President?"

"Oh, Trump?  Yeah.  Is it that unusual?"

"I guess not..."

Then a howling came from behind.  Love Princess Gorgoneion was standing 
straight, but backed by a howling void.  Howling!  It needed saying more 
than once.
