Burlap sacks were often used by individuals to non-violently contain other individuals they wished to abduct. This fact was experienced across the Multiverse, with startling regularity, by the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids. (PROSE: Marksmanship-522 and the Multi-Dimensional Race)

In a universe where the Crew was fictional, one of its writers acknowledged the burlack sack as a “running gag”. (PROSE: The Metafictional Meddler)

History

Marksmanship-522 was captured in a burlap sack by Lilathia when he first arrived at her door, as Lilathia was working under the assumption that he was an assassin sent by Brutus. (PROSE: Marksmanship-522 and the Multi-Dimensional Race)

A little later, Marksmanship was again caught inside a burlap sack, this time in his own home, by his fellow Cupid Larrikin-1029, who believed him to be responsible for the theft of a mailbag. When questioned, Larrikin informed his boss Acquaintanceship-982 that he always carried such a sack with him. Later in the investigation, Larrikin used the sack to capture the actual culprit, Philatel-426. (PROSE: Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery)

Lila used a burlap sack to capture Pessimist-242 in Whetstone Park. Pessimist saw her sneaking up on him with the sack over her shoulder, but, as per his usual apathetic disposition, did not attempt to escape. (PROSE: Pessimist and the Dromedaries)

Shortly arriving in the mysterious hub dimension where he learned of the Rifts Crisis, Tracker-764 was captured in a burlap sack by the old man, who feared he was another monster who'd come through one of the Rifts. He soon let him out after realising he was a person, and a harmless one at that. (PROSE: The Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Plane)

Later, Tracker and Darius were placed in burlap sacks by the Queen of the Black Market's Wraiths to be transported from her underground throne room to the Auction Block of the Interdimensional Black Market. (PROSE: Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market)

After he damaged one of her toys, Madame Tarsa summoned a burlap sack into existence and placed Larrikin-1029 into it in preparation for throwing him and Pessimist into her Toybox. (PROSE: The Toymaker's Labyrinth)

When the Ozites distracted Blinkie to allow Acquaintanceship-982 to make his escape, Blinkie used the power of the Magic Belt to create a burlap sack and trap Toto inside it before turning him into a random object. (PROSE: The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids in Oz)

Larrikin-1029 captured Paintbrush-122 and Sketchbook-430 in a burlap sack to take them before Judicator-337 after they caused a scene at the Cupid Theatre following the screening of The Death? Planned It! and The Moonbeams. (PROSE: Plagiarism of the SavageMen)

When he proved reluctant to defeat the Salamandyrs of his own accord, the Captain of the Order of the Automata's Void Ship captured Marksmanship-522 in a synthetic burlap-sack-like prison which appeared from around him. Known as “Protocol: BR-L4P S4K”, the system caused a “shimmering membrane” to coalesce around him in the form of a bag before “solidif[ying] into a synthetic composite resembling, in appearance and texture, the skin of the jute plant”. Shortly after he was teleported onto the Salamandyr Emperor's Void Ship, the artificial burlap sack vanished into thin air. (PROSE: Peace and Quiet)

As the mail sacks used by the Department of Postal Services were burlap sacks, such sacks were among the items making up Mailbag-431's ghostly chains when he manifested before Philatel-426 in Marleyesque fashion on Christmas Eve 2019. However, on that particular occasion, no one was actually trapped in any of the burlap sacks in question. (PROSE: A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol)

When Claus-025 unexpectedly manifested as Santa Claus, Pythagoras-858 was quick enough to stuff him into a sack before unscheduled Christmas antics ensued. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)

After deciding that he was an irritating nuisance, the Cupid Parliament placed Hector Fenwick in a burlap sack (with the metafictional visitor recognised as a running gag from the “fictional” Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids series), then put him back in his Void ship and set the controls to drop him back in his home universe then detonate as soon as he left the ship.
