In 1960, a scientist from the Prime Universe invented the Clockwork Cherubs, who, in the form of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, later relocated to a pocket universe of their own, the Cupid Homeworld. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel)
In 2019, an interdimensional Rift appeared in the headquarters of the Faction of the Fooling Fish (one of the Strangely-Colored Secret Societies), linking the Cupid Homeworld and the Prime Universe directly. (PROSE: The Faction of the Fooling Fish) Also that year, an anthropomorphic cockatoo or chicken from the Prime Earth and his hapless waterfowl companion fell through a dimensional warp in the Prime Universe's Time Vortex, and ended up in the Void. They parked the broken machine at the Interdimensional Tavern where the inventor stayed to guard it while his friend went on an adventure through the Void to find a piece which had become detached from the vehicle. While he was waiting, the inventor met Bibliophile-962 and other members of the Crew's Department of Documentation, who'd taken a trip to the Tavern on their lunch break to help with the writing of a Cupid Fact File on the Tavern.
