The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' Cupid Intelligence Institute had a Department of Chronology.
Its members, the Chronologists, mostly kept to themselves in their Continuity Tower. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving) Their business was “sorting out timeline errors in the various universes the Cupids watched over”, and did not extend to the Homeworld itself, hence its somewhat fluid relationship to time; (PROSE: Magic Trick) they had never successfully “worked out a fixed system of time for the Homeworld”, with the clock tower they maintained being attuned to one of the time zones of the Prime Universe's Earth, roughly matching the alternating designated working and resting periods put forward by the Department of Sleep. (PROSE: A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol) This meant that the Cupids were unable to verify the Collective of the Retconning Crocodiles' claim of coming from a future where they were allied with the Cupid“until the Department of Chronology manage[d] to straighten out the Homeworld’s timestream enough to permit [the Cupids] to travel up and down [their] own History”. (PROSE: The Book of Evil)
In 2019, they loaned some clocks to the Department of Problem-Solving, which were used in the Problem-Solvers' summoning and binding of Lord Thymon. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving)
