Tarsa entered the Toybox herself and goaded them into a swordfight, making herself the third and final trial of the Doom Room. After the Fog Ship helped the Cupids hold her off and reach the exit, Larrikin destroyed Tarsa's notes and prototypes on Clockwork Cherubs and the Love Potion. Admitting defeat, Tarsa allowed the two to return to the [[Cupid Homeworld]], restoring the Fog Ship to its full size and giving back the dimensional warp drive. Feeling bad about ruining her business idea, Larrikin suggested an alternative one: [[Thymon Plushy|Thymon Plushies]]. On the way back, Pessimist informed Larrikin of his skepticism at the idea that such a product could ever be successful.

=== Finding the Hat === | |||
On a day off from the [[Blue Feather]], Pessimist was wandering the [[Mainland Cloud]], annoyed at his own inability to find something tangible to be annoyed about, when he stumbled upon [[the Hat|a mysterious magician's hat]]. He briefly encountered its ostensible owner, a [[faceless magician (Magic Trick)|magician]] who appeared as a faceless phantom, which Pessimist attributed to him being a careless dimensional traveller who had phased ''nearly'', but not ''completely'', into the [[Cupid Homeworld]] by accident. He tried to hand the Hat back to the magician, but the magician pretended not to hear him and vanished. Trying to put the Hat out of his sight, Pessimist attempted to bury it, but instead activated its magic as it began to spew out a veritable tidal wave of illusory white rabbits. Pessimist spent three days buried in the mass of rabbits until it, and the hat, were made to vanish by [[Aphrodite#In the Prime Universe|Aphrodite]]. Feeling that he “might as well draw some sort of wry conclusion from all of this”, Pessimist came up with simply this: “I hate hats, and rabbits”.
