=== Visited by Acquaintanceship === | |||
Acquaintanceship-982 was once assigned a solo romanticising mission to the [[Emerald City]] of Oz in [[Universe (The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids in Oz)|one universe]], where he was meant to romanticise at least one hundred people. Arriving in [[Acquaintanceship-982's Fog Ship|his Fog Ship]], he made his way to the City, meeting the [[Guardian of the Gates]], but was quickly whisked off to the [[Emerald Palace|Royal Palace]] by [[Omby Amby]], who had mistaken him for [[Tik-Tok]]. There, he was led to a huge meetings of Ozites convened by [[Ozma]] to investigate the mysterious theft of the [[Magic Belt]], [[Magic Picture]] and [[Great Book of Records]], three of the most powerful artefacts in the land. Learning that romanticising the Ozites would be pointless anyway because they were all already under the effects of the [[Love Magnet]] which hung over the City's threshold, Acquaintanceship agreed to help them track down the thieves instead in the hope of romanticising ''them'', and offered to fly them around the Land in his Fog Ship after it turned out the thieves had also dismantled Ozma's [[Red Wagon|royal carriage]]. | |||
First stopping in [[Munchkin Country]], the possé met [[the Phonograph]] of Oz, who had spotted the thieves: a trio of [[imp]]s who had been turned into buttons by [[the Wizard of Oz]] many years ago, long enough ago that the spell had faded on its own. Thanks to the Phonograph's directions, Acquaintanceship knew to fly towards [[Winkie Country]], but on the way through the forest which separated the two Countries, they were attacked by three [[kalidah]]s. After evading them, they reached the mountains of [[Jinxland]] in Winkie Country, where they found not only the imps, but also their master: ex-[[Wicked Witch of the South]] [[Blinkie]], now once again in possession of magical powers thanks to the Belt. Gloating, Blinkie unveiled a field full of hundreds of imp statues, which she intended to bring to life as an unstoppable army using the [[Powder of Life]]. Acquaintanceship attempted to romanticise Blinkie right there and then, but his shot missed and instead knocked the bottle Powder out of her hands. Taking his chance, Acquaintanceship grabbed the bottle and ran off with it into his Fog Ship, but Blinkie (who had yet to realise he had the Powder and thought he was just escaping) used the Belt to cause him to crash into the forest. | |||
Acquaintanceship was unharmed, but the Ship was down. Out of other options, he used some of the Powder of Life to attempt to repair his Ship, with the effect of bringing it to life as a sentient entity. Startled, he dropped the rest of the Powder onto his [[Acquaintanceship-982's Bow|bow]] and [[Acquaintanceship-982's Arrows|arrows]], which similarly came to life. Together, they returned to Jinxland and managed to romanticise Blinkie and the Imps, who subsequently apologised to everyone and returned the magical items. However, the Ship's inexperience with flying itself caused it to crash again with Acquaintanceship itself, injuring him this time. With the Bow and Arrows finding them, however, the Imps worked with Tik-Tok to repair both of them. Healed, Acquaintanceship was offered the chance to stay in the Emerald Palace as a permanent resident but turned it down, unlike the Ship, Bow and Arrows. With the Ship staying behind, [[Dorothy Gale|Dorothy]] thus used the power of the Magic Belt to send Acquaintanceship back to the [[Cupid Homeworld]] instead.

One version of Oz was home to [[wogglebug]]s and [[munchkin]]s among other strange creatures. It had many magical traits: for example, death was impossible there, and according to [[Professor Wogglebug]], monochromatic people tended to become colourful upon arriving in Oz. | One version of Oz was home to [[wogglebug]]s and [[munchkin]]s among other strange creatures.
