}}'''Larrikin-1029''' was a [[Clockwork Cherub]] and member of the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]. | }}'''Larrikin-1029''' was a [[Clockwork Cherub]] and member of the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]. As well as a [[Blue Feather]] operative, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery (short story)|Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery]]'') he was secretly a member of the [[Triangular Society]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Case Against Conspiracy (short story)|The Case Against Conspiracy]]'') | ||
== Description == | |||
=== Personality === | |||
Acquaintanceship spoke in a kind of old-timey-gangster accent and had a boyish, but somewhat dangerous, fascination for violent or dangerous things. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rifts Crisis Officially Over! (short story)|Rifts Crisis Officially Over!]]'') He was prone to jumping to conclusions, particularly if this gave him an excuse to engage in behaviour he considered fun. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery (short story)|Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery]]'') | |||
=== Powers & abilities === | |||
Larrikin seemed to be the most physically-capable of the [[Blue Feather]], displaying great skill at sneaking up on people and capturing them in [[burlap sack]]s (of which he always carried one on his person). He also knew how to pick locks. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery (short story)|Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery]]'') | |||
=== Biography === | |||
The Blue Feather were originally housed in a derelict warehouse located on the opposite side of the [[Mainland Cloud]]. They weren't given missions of any importance, and indeed, it could be months in-between the missions they did get, disappointing as they were. For example, they once went months without any assignments at all after “the Great Grape Jelly Stain Catastrophe”, their grandiloquent name for the occasion upon which [[Marmalade-624]] spilled grape jelly on his tablecloth and hired the Blue Feather to wash it off. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery (short story)|Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery]]'') | |||
On April 29th, 2019, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Faction of the Fooling Fish (short story)|The Faction of the Fooling Fish]]'') they were hired by [[Philatel-426]] for an unusually significant operation: locating a bag of mail that had gone missing from the [[Cupid Post Office]]. They unsuccessfully interviewed a number of “suspects” — otherwise known as people who happened to be glimpsed at some level of proximity to the Post Office on the day of the crime — with Larrikin notably helping the others break into [[Marksmanship-522]]'s house to jump him and interrogate him. | |||

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery (short story)|Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery]]'')]]At the last minute, however, [[Acquaintanceship-982]] realised the truth and actually solved the mystery: Philatel had himself stolen the mailbag, which contained blueprints meant to be transmitted from the [[Department of Architecture]] to the [[Department of Construction]] so that the latter could begin work on a new giant warehouse. The construction would have involved the destruction of the Post Office's west wing, which was officially vacant, but which Philatel secretly used to store his stamp collection. To obtain hard evidence of this, Larrikin made his way into Philatel's office and lay in wait, hanging upside down from the ceiling light, until Philatel passed by and he quite literally jumped on him, trapping him in a [[burlap sack]]. Philatel admitted to the theft and the Cupids found the missing mailabg, which he'd disguised as a cushion. Rather than turn him in to the [[Department of Discipline]], the Blue Feather blackmailed him into letting them use the selfsame west wing as a new HQ, while convincing the Department of Construction to build their new warehouse on their old site instead. | |||
Just as they were getting settled in, [[Colonel-028]] rushed into their new office with a new mystery to investigate: the theft of a pie from his windowsill. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery (short story)|Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery]]'') Having badgered badgered the [[Cupid Parliament]] into authorising an official investigation, he set the Blue Feather on the task. Following a trail of pie-crumbs, the Blue Feather found a [[Rift]] leading to the [[Faction of the Fooling Fish]]'s headquarters in the [[Prime Universe]], where they briefly confronted the Faction for the first time. After fleeing back through the Rift, they got the [[Department of Rifts]] to close it. After the Rifts reopened and had to be closed a second time after a second Fooling Fish incursion, the Blue Feather were assigned to guarding the location of the Rift, in case it opened again.

Larrikin was one of the Cupids who submitted a question to ''[[The Cupid Courier]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> educational Q&A about the [[Rift]]s with [[Doctor Sigma]]. However, like most questions in the Q&A, his question was nonsensical; he asked if it would be possible to keep Rifts in jars that Larrikin could then throw at people who annoyed him.
