Peepers' Pitt--Power Behind the White Cloth

Peepers’ Pitt--New Crew Askew pt. 20 of 20: “Power Behind the White Cloth”
Who is behind the White Cloth?
Kidnapped from separate planes of existence and then scattered by the godlike Mr. Peepers, Charlie Decaye, the EMT Man, Humphrey, Boris, Birdy Nok Nok, and Choo Choo Andrews had finally re-assembled in a town in Peepers’ Pitt!  However, the Preeminent Peeper was displeased with this, and paired them up randomly, scattering them across his Peepers' Pitt once more!  This time, Peepers placed them in harsher environments, which included a desert, a snowy plain, and on a railroad car hurtling through the sky!  Escape from their predicament seemed hopeless!  However, the appearance of a strange white cloth in all three environments has altered the situation!

Humphrey the Hunchback Hobo opened his eyes to darkness.  The white snowy plain and the white flowing cloth were gone.  This didn’t bother Humphrey at all however.  He was free of the cold snowy plain and felt very warm wherever he was.  A few sniffs brought him something even more pleasant than warmth--the smell of garbage!  Humphrey grew excited as he sensed he was in a place that he was intimately familiar with…a dumpster!

Humphrey moved around on all fours, feeling the familiar texture of plastic trash bags beneath him!
“I’s home!” he yelled.
Humphrey then turned over and began to wallow in the trash bags like a dog in filth.  His weight pressed against the bags and forced all sorts of liquids out, making Humphrey even happier!  After a few moments of resting on the bags, Humphrey rummaged around for food.  He found some old pork chop bones and some half-eaten crackers!
“MMM lunch!”  He then proceeded to eat.  His meal was interrupted by a banging on the side of the dumpster.
“Ey!  Whose that’s bangin’ my house? Go away!  I’s eatin’ here!”
The plastic lid of the dumpster was suddenly opened, and light poured in as Humphrey saw the figure of birdman, Birdy Nok Nok, perched on top.
“NO!  Youse not getting’ my food, Birdy!”
The face of Charlie Decaye then appeared, and peered down into the dumpster!  The kind man with the mean face scared Humphrey yet again!
“AGHHHH!! WHA THE HELL? Don be scarin’ me likes that, Decaye!”
Decaye spoke.  “Humphrey, you fell into the dumpster.  The rest of us are all here, back in the town.  The white cloth brought us here, but we don’t know how or why.”
Humphrey grabbed the lid of the dumpster and tried to close it.
“Man I’s don care!  I’s got all I needs here!”
“Humphrey, get out of the dumpster and join us on the street.”  Decaye held the lid open.  “We have been assisted and brought out of the predicament Peepers put us in.  Don’t you want to go home?”
Humphrey struggled with the lid.  “Man I gon stay right here! Gots all the food I need!”

Suddenly, a white light filled the street where Boris, Choo Choo, and the EMT Man were standing.  It grew brighter and spread to the alley where Humphrey’s dumpster was.  Humphrey, Birdy, and Decaye watched in awe as the white cloth appeared once more in the light, along with the silhouette of a man!
