The Homeworld's central area was the [[Mainland Cloud]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery (short story)|Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery]]'', ''[[The Case Against Conspiracy (short story)|The Case Against Conspiracy]]'') home to such buildings as the [[Cupid Post Office]].

The Cupid Homeworld was very hard for uninvited interdimensional interlopers to breach. One of the defences placed by [[Cupida Hartnell|the Creator]] to keep intruders out of the Cupid Homeworld was that “the atmosphere and the clouds were all saturated in frankly unreasonable amounts of [[Love Potion]] which would make anyone but a Cupid fall deeply in love with the last person they’d met before coming to the Homeworld”. Authorised visitors were immune, and “powerful psychic entities” could also fight it off sometimes. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Magic Trick (novel)|Magic Trick]]'') | |||

Shortly thereafter, [[Retconning Crocodile (Time Loops & Treachery)|another Retconning Crocodile]] travelled to the Cupid Homeworld, but its plan to take control of the Crew was outwitted by [[Pythagoras-858]].

On a day off from the [[Blue Feather]], [[Pessimist-242]] was wandering the [[Mainland Cloud]], annoyed at his own inability to find something tangible to be annoyed about, when he stumbled upon [[the Hat|a mysterious magician's hat]]. He briefly encountered its ostensible owner, a [[faceless magician (Magic Trick)|magician]] who appeared as a faceless phantom, which Pessimist attributed to him being a careless dimensional traveller who had phased ''nearly'', but not ''completely'', into the [[Cupid Homeworld]] by accident. He tried to hand the Hat back to the magician, but the magician pretended not to hear him and vanished. Trying to put the Hat out of his sight, Pessimist attempted to bury it, but instead activated its magic as it began to spew out a veritable tidal wave of illusory white rabbits. | |||
The mounting mass of rabbits soon reached the [[Cupid Post Office]] and then the [[Cupid Parliament]], becoming such an unstoppable force that the Cupids made for their Fog Ships and escaped ''en masse'' to the [[Euclidean Plane]], where the [[Copper-Colored Council of Elders]] asked the [[Geometron Pentagon]] for asylum. The [[Cupid Prime]], for his part, had escaped to [[Hawaii]] in his [[Cupid Prime's Fog Ship|personal Fog Ship]] alongside his entourage, but not before telling the [[Department of Problem-Solving]] to stay behind and solve the problem. [[Lord Thymon]] used his powers to hold off the tide long enough for the Prime-Solvers, and Thymon himself, to take refuge in an empty warehouse. | |||
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. Juliet located a [[Psychic Broadcasting Cone]] in the headquarters of the [[Department of Communication]] and used it to summon the rest of the Cupids back to the Homeworld.
