You can sift through the racc list archive
https://lists.eyrie.org/pipermail/racc/
or you can try google groups racc for these LNH, NTB, and SW10 stories.

And this week we have a Scott Eiler LNH/NTB/Super Human World crossover!
It seems Satan has lost his Spine! What's a Satan to do? Perhaps
create his own Miracle Pet to find it? And will Brad Pitt somehow be
involved with this?

Find out in...

Superhuman World 2012 Annual/LNH vII #55

The Donors of Satan gathered. Their leader plucked a monocle off his
face, stuck a floating eye back in the empty socket underneath, and
spoke. "Our Master's Eye has found what happened to His Spine. It lies
in a pit in another world. Captured by magic cats."

"Damned blockhead pets!" The sorceress across the table spouted flame.

"Oh, *I* think the pets are to be *commended* for turning the tables on
their torturer." The sorcerer next to her leaned back in his chair and
arched his fingers.

The leader said, "Still, Brother Iain, while we can agree the Spine's
previous operator had it coming, Our Master requires his Spine."

"Oh, surely He has misplaced body parts before." A second sorcerer
spoke from a silver mouth - encased by a silver skull.

"Indeed, Brother MANIC. The Wang of Satan usually rebuilds those. But
the recent superhero Raptures have scythed into the Wang's preferred
breeding stock. He prefers noble but corruptible. But the Super Savior
Rapture took much of the *corrupted* righteous, and most of the other
righteous went with the Powernaut Rapture. We need our *current* Spine.
Besides, these others have taken what is *ours*. This cannot abide."

The one other man at the table spoke. "Will it be cost-effective to
retrieve it, though? Bear in mind, our supervision is needed for world
politics. Even though Joe Corrigan has no successor-apparent for the
U.S. Presidency, our lackey Trump will need considerable support in his
own bid. And we do yet need to ensure Ellipsis is marginalized. Though
he and his minions are useful for keeping the world running until Our
Master can claim it, they should not get too much credit for same."

"Brother Russell, thank you for your insightful political analysis as
always, though your own grudges against Ellipsis are noted. But I am
*confident* we can spare the power while we remain to lead. Our
conclave has almost *one hundred* junior members to represent the *less*
gloried parts of Satan. I already have one volunteer to lead the
mission. We can reinforce him at need. We shall drown that Earth in
Satan's own flame if need be!"

The sorceress spoke again, "Uh, *I* have the flame. And one of the
*best* of us got *wasted* by *whatever* was down that hole he got sucked
into. How is cannon fodder gonna help?"

"Simple, my dear Sister Lucy. Brother Brady was a trespasser where he
went, and did not know the protocols there. My Eye has seen those now.
This time, the Master's minions prevail."

Brother Russell said, "Could you perhaps share the details, Brother Auge?"

"Oh, I suppose... The first rule is, the powers of that realm name
themselves as in old comic books. Something Boy, or Something Lass,
along those lines. Our minions will each name themselves along the
lines of Devil Body Part Kid this time.

"Secondly, Brother Brady aroused the wrath of something called Miracle
Pets by his acts of animal sacrifice to Our Lord. Our minions will not
so attact their wrath."

The sorceress Lucy said, "Oh, like Miracle Pets *won't* put their wrath
on what they want."

"Sister Lucy, do you have a *constructive* suggestion along those lines?"

"Oh, I can construct... I know a lot about pets. There was this one
dog when I was growing up. It's dead now, of course..."

"Would you care to share *more* with us?"

"I'll share *everything you want* about that damn dog! I've got its
bones at home! I dug them up! It gave me closure before I left town!
I'll bring them here and raise the beast for you right now!" Lucy
gestured. A box appeared.

Brother Russell said, "She's going off again..."

"No, Brother, she has a point." Brother Auge gestured. "For total
success against all possible obstacles, we should send our *own* Miracle
Pet. The Eye has revealed, each Miracle Pet is named after a vegetable
and a holiday. Sister Lucy, have you a suggestion?"

"Richthofen the Stupid Miracle Beagle!"

"You realize, Richthofen is not a vegetable and Stupid is not *yet* a
holiday."

"Okay, how about Stupid the Richthofen's Birthday Beagle?"

Brother Russell asked, "What is it with you about the Barons von
Richthofen?"

"This damned dog always perched on his doghouse like a dogfighter! Like
that World War One Red Baron!"

Brother Auge spoke. "Passion is *good* for the naming. Sister Lucy,
you have the naming privilege. What vegetable do you choose?"

"Brussels sprouts! No! Lima beans! Those were the stupidest!"

"So be it. We shall raise this beast *together* as Limabean the
Richthofen's Birthday Miracle Beagle!"

Brother Iain asked, "Uh, does anyone here *know* what the most famous
Richthofen's birthday actually is?"

"Of course. May 2."

"Thank you for your encyclopedic knowledge, Brother MANIC." Brother
Auge continued, "So let it be!"

The mages gestured. The beast arose.

"Excellent. Summon the Buttocks of Satan."

Wants His Spine Back!

Author's Notes:

This is now published with a possibility of "collaborating" on the
sequel just by posting it for review on the LNH author group, and
thereby making yet another crappy claim in yet another RACC High Concept
Challenge! But I do have to admit, I've been preparing this story for a
while.

Why yes, Peanuts comics of the 1950s and 1960s are *in continuity* for
this world! Or something much like them, anyway. This explains Lucy
the Pyro, as well as the beast she's raising. Others have also appeared
in stories: Linus as the Scrollerkin in 2004
(http://www.eilertech.com/stories/2004/demonseed.htm), Chas Brown for
the Ministry of Speed in 2010
(http://www.eilertech.com/stories/2010/neworbit.htm). Much of the
credit for this goes to a Peanuts-based play I once saw, "Dog Sees God".
http://www.eilertech.com/domination/blog/blog16.htm#4oct2008

This story wraps up some unfinished business from the RACC-Con Special
story, "Who Killed the Cat With Glasses?" As an LNH story it concluded
cleanly - remarkably so by Legion standards. But the LNH universe now
has something which belongs to my own storyline, SW10 or Superhuman
World 2012 (by the time of the story). I'd be happy to let the property
rest there, but not all my characters feel that way.

Brad Pitt got an alarm in his ceremony room in Pittsburgh. He went
through his mystic portals to investigate. In his ritual pentacle were
a young-looking man and a zombie dog.

Brad said, "You realize you only land here if you're from a Devil. And
devil stuff doesn't get out of here."

The intruder replied, "Correctamundo! I'm *totally* a devil dude. But
the dog, not so much. He's got *something* non-devil inside him." The
zombie dog sniffed past the pentacle. The pentacle dissolved. "Now,
let's talk... So you're really Brad Pitt *and* you're the the guardian
of the gateway? Cool!"
