Department of Construction: Difference between revisions

By the time of the [[faceless magician (Magic Trick)|faceless magician]] incident, Foreman-964 had been banned from participating in the [[Cupid Parliament]]'s debates despite his status as a [[Prefect]] because of his inability to talk about anything else than the need to build warehouses and-or raze the Post Office, no matter the order of the day. However, on that day at least — the ninth of a protracted argument about whose responsibility it was to change the ink in [[Stenographer-123]]'s typewriter — he had snuck back into the [[Cupid Parliament building|building]], hiding under his old desk until [[Taskmaster-523]], who suspected the truth, lured him out by loudly professing a belief that the job ought to be given to the Department of Construction. Leaping out from under the desk, Foreman tackled Taskmaster. He then also tackled [[Optimist-411]], who attempted to cool things down, only to be tackled in turn by [[Philatel-426]], who, without a trace of irony, shouted that he should stop tackling people as he did so. Before long, however, the fight was broken up by the appearance of the magic rabbits produced by [[the Hat]], which drew a “shriek” from Foreman. The Cupids all evacuated to the [[Euclidean Plane]] until the [[Department of Problem-Solving]] solved the issue and called them all back three days later.
