=== In the Toymaker's Labyrinth === | |||
Pessimist was once assigned a mission to [[Dimension 8696-2537]] with [[Larrikin-1029]] as his partner. Both Cupids found this unacceptable, especially as Larrikin had tried to prank Pessimist just a week earlier by putting a tack on his chair, but they didn't manage to sway [[Taskmaster-523]] and departed in [[Pessimist's Fog Ship]] for the mission. Irritated by the two Cupids' bickering, however, the Fog Ship didn't take them to Dimension 8696-2537 but to random coordinates which turned out to be those of the gigantic [[Workshop of Madame Tarsa]]. | |||
Climbing onto Tarsa's work-table, they were confronted with [[Madame Tarsa|the Toymaker herself]]. Fascinated with the Cupids' looks and technology, she decided to try and create a [[The Toy Cupid|Toy Cupid]] complete with [[Love Potion]] based on samples from the [[Cupid Arrow]] Larrikin had tried loosing at her. When Larrikin tried to stop her and ended up damaging the marionette, an irate Tarsa dropped both Cupids, and their Fog Ship (which she shrank down to size and stripped of its [[dimensional warp drive]]), into [[the Toymaker's Labyrinth|the Labyrinth]] inside her magic toybox. | |||
After wandering its corridors for some time, the two ended up in [[Wild West Town]], where they were briefly mistaken for new members of the [[Plush Posse]]. Even after the misunderstanding was resolved, the [[Frog Mayor]] was initially reluctant to let them leave, affecting not to know about worlds beyond the Wild West-themed room, but he changed his tune after realising how annoying the combination of Larrikin and Pessimist could be to have around. Informed by the [[Mechanical Fortune Teller]] of the two Cupids' surprising progress, Tarsa sent the [[Clay Thing]] to stop them, but it was destroyed by the Fog Ship. They then reached the [[Doom Room]], where Larrikin defeated the giant chess pieces and Pessimist reluctantly foiled the [[Mechanical Skeleton]]. | |||
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.
