The Cupid Parliament was the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' governing body, stepping in after the Creator retired from public life.

Nature

The Cupid Parliament's membership was made up of the Prefects of the many departments of the Cupid Intelligence Institute, and overseen by the Copper-Colored Council of Elders, made up of the ten oldest Mark I Clockwork Cherubs including the Cupid Prime himself. The Parliament was infamous for getting drawn into lengthy, circular debates about trivial matters. (PROSE: The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids) They held council in the Cupid Parliament building. (PROSE: The Cupid Suggestion Box)

History

In 1994, the Cupid Parliament decided, after some debate, that the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids should maintain neutrality with the Mob of the Maroon Magpie. (PROSE: The Mob of the Maroon Magpie)

A “few years” before 2019, the Cupid Parliament were sent a two-way communicator distress signal by Amity-965, who had been taken prisoner in the Discordia Dimension. They dispatched a battalion of Fog Ships led by Amadeo-378 to the rescue. (PROSE: The Drove of the Demesmaekerite-Dyed Discordias)

In 2019, the Parliament made the emergency decision of exiling the Sisters of Juliet to Dimension 1579. (PROSE: Of Romeos and Juliets)

When reports came in from Colony World #2 that the Wellsians had returned, “the Parliament” made an official statement to the Crew, claiming that it was “nothing to worry about”. (PROSE: The Wellsians)

At some point prior to Pessimist-242 and Larrikin-1029's adventure in the Workshop of Madame Tarsa, (PROSE: The Cupid Suggestion Box) the Copper-Colored Council of Elders put up the Cupid Suggestion Box. Among other things, (PROSE: The Cupid Suggestion Box) Pessimist's Fog Ship put in a request with the Parliament for them to officially grant vacation time to the increasing number of non-Clockwork Cherub members of the Crew, such as the sentient Fog Ship itself. (PROSE: The Toymaker's Labyrinth, The Cupid Suggestion Box) They agreed to put it to a vote in the Parliament. They also got a threatening note from a nonexistent Cupid who signed Wicked-6666, as well as a number of highly frivolous requests, with Foreman-964's insistence on sending them messages asking them to take his side in his feud with Philatel-426 ultimately causing them to put guards around the Suggestion Box to prevent him or the equally spamming-prone Acquaintanceship-982 from accessing it. On what would ultimately become the Suggestion Box's last day in operation, Larrikin-1029 also accidentally broke one of the windows of the Cupid Parliament building, leaving an apologetic note in the Suggestion Box. After a few more inane suggestions, the Elders agreed to stop operating the Suggestion Box altogether. (PROSE: The Cupid Suggestion Box)

They reluctantly authorised the celebration of Christmas in the Cupid Homeworld from 2020 onwards due to pressure from the Homeworld's non-Clockwork Cherub inhabitants, such as Lord Thymon and Sneernobiel — but tasked Pythagoras-858 with handling the actual setting up by himself.
