The [[Blue Feather]]'s assignment to watch the [[Rift]] endured, although, as it had gone dormant for a while, they only watched it when they had nothing else to do. On one such day, Pessimist, [[Larrikin-1029]] and [[Dandy-432]] were meant to watch the Rift, but Pessimist elected to lie on the ground motionless next to [[Pessimist's Fog Ship|his Fog Ship]], instead. As it should happen, it was on this day that the Rift opened again — allowing through not the prank-loving Fish, but a benign [[Old man (The Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Plane)|old man]] who was trying to find his way back to his home universe. The two Cupids were surprised to hear that he'd recently met [[Tracker-764]], a legendary Cupid who hadn't been seen in the Homeworld in years. They agreed to help him, only too happy to have a good excuse to leave their post, and the three departed aboard Pessimist's Fog Ship, intent on taking the old man to the [[Prime Universe]] and a selection of [[Prime-adjacent]] ones to attempt to narrow down his world of origin. Pessimist only resisted very weakly to this borrowing, and remained on the ground.

[[File:Tracker and Pessimist.png|thumb|Pessimist comes face to face with [[the Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Plane]] himself. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market (short story)|Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market]]'')]]Some time later, Pessimist was “wandering about despondently” when [[Tracker-764's Void Ship|a Void Ship]] appeared in the skies of [[Cupid Homeworld|the Homeworld]] and began barreling towards him. Reasoning that it would probably find a way to hit him even if he tried to dodge, Pessimist didn't even try, and the ship rammed into him as it crashed. From it, emerged none other than the legendary Tracker himself, who vaguely recognised Pessimist, recalling his name as “Negativeman”. Pessimist was neither very surprised, nor as warmly welcoming as Tracker had hoped of the first Cupid he met in years.
