The Copper-Colored Council of Elders, also known as the Cupid Council of Elders or simply the Cupid Council, was a council which formed part of the leadership of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids. It was made up of the ten oldest Mark I Clockwork Cherubs, including the Cupid Prime himself and Cupid-002.

History

The ill-fated Suggestion Box. (PROSE: The Cupid Suggestion Box)

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 a Cupid Suggestion Box. A small stack of blank cards was left next to it, with members of the Crew being incited to pick them up and write short suggestions that could then be discussed in Parliament.

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) When reviewing the suggestions, the Council agreed to put it to a vote in the Parliament.

They also got a threatening note from a nonexistent Cupid who signed Wicked-6666 (which they uneasily wrote off as a prank), 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 after Cupid-002 put it in as the final Suggestion. (PROSE: The Cupid Suggestion Box)
