The Crocodile argued that the Cupids had no choice but to sign it to avoid a paradox. Pythagoras dodged out of the situation by burning the contract with his pocket lighter, rendering the signing of it irrelevant as it would be destroyed before the Crocodiles could do anything with it.

As a [[Prefect]], Pythagoras once attended a session in the [[Cupid Parliament]], trying and failing to convince the other Prefects that they should drop the question of whose responsibility it technically was to refill the ink in [[Stenographer-123]]'s typewriter and simply ''do i'', while the rest of the Department worked on “the best way to romanticize [[Ennead of the Eigengrau Easter Eggs|anthropomorphic eigengrau eggshells]]”. The argument had developed into sheer fisticuffs, with [[Untenable-921]] of the [[Department of Impossible Things]] physically attacking Pythe, when a [[faceless magician (Magic Trick)|faceless magician]]'s magic hat suddenly caused the Homeworld to be overwhelmed by a flood of white rabbits. The main five members of the Department of Problem-Solving, having been ordered by the [[Cupid Prime]] to stay behind and solve the problem, were among the few not to flee from the Homeworld, instead taking refuge in an empty warehouse alongside [[Lord Thymon]] — though Pythe had to stop [[Juliet-178]] from escaping in the [[Department of Problem-Solving's first Fog Ship|Department's new Fog Ship]]. | |||
After three days, having concluded that only a ''Deus Ex Machina'' could save the Homeworld, [[Valerius-1497]] told the others that they should summon [[Aphrodite#In the Prime Universe|Aphrodite]] herself to help. The plan worked, but before she used her powers to make the rabbits and hat vanish, the goddess took out her anger at being summoned without permission on Valerius, turning him into a (mechanical) parakeet. The Problem-Solvers elected not to tempt fate by asking Aphrodite to reverse the transformation, content to add returning Valerius to his natural form to their list of problems to be solved.
