Pessimist's Fog Ship: Difference between revisions

At some point, while out in [[the Multiverse]] aboard his Fog Ship, [[Pessimist-242]] was kidnapped by [[Doctor Curious]], a [[mad scientist]] from the [[Jynx Dimension]] who wanted a friend and had set his heart on a [[Copper-Colored Cupid]] companion. Naturally, he quickly found Pessimist to be dreary company. Instead of giving up on his dream, however, he decided to find a dead Clockwork Cherub and rewire and revive him into his perfect companion, ''[[Frankenstein (book)|Frankenstein]]''-style. Using the Fog Ship, he travelled the dimensions to acquire one while keeping Pessimist prisoner in [[Doctor Curious's Castle|his Castle]]. Pessimist then bore witness to 53 failed attempts over a number of weeks before Curious was finally ready to give life to [[Doctor Curious's Monster|his Monster]], with Pessimist being reluctantly given the “honour” of throwing the master-switch, getting a nasty electric shock in the procss. Just before the experiment, two other Cupids, [[Tom-176]] and [[John-181]], chanced upon the Castle by coincidence. After Curious, pleased with the success of his Monster, tried to kill them so that he could use their parts to create a second one, the two Cupids managed to free themselves with the Monster's help; they also freed Pessimist and recovered his Fog Ship, allowing the two to be reunited and escape together.
