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. | 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.

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 (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. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Magic Trick (novel)|Magic Trick]]'') These events were later dubbed “the [[Rabbit Invasion]]”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Cupid Parliament Destroyed?

They caused further mayhem in the following days, with the [[Department of Haberdashery]] being inaccurately blamed for the Hat's existence by [[Colonel-028]], and the Cupid Prime having failed to return to the Homeworld at the same time as the others (for the benign reason that he had extended his holiday in [[Florida]], something which was subsequently discovered by the [[Department of Stage Magic]] when they tried to flee there for fear that they would be accused next).

On [[Halloween]], [[Frankenstein-818]]'s [[Spirit Realm Gateway]], which he used every year to widen a [[spirit path]] into a portal into the [[Prime Universe]]'s [[Spirit Realm]], malfunctioned. His clueless attempt to repair it instead caused it to collapse into a [[Rift]]. [[The Great Ghost]] took his chance and led [[the Great Ghost's legion|his legion]] out of the Realm through that portal, forcing the Cupids to evacuate using the [[Emergency Transport Button]]. Instead of staying in the Homeworld all day only to be inevitably pulled back to the Spirit Realm, however, the spirits stole a flotilla of [[Fog Ship]]s and then moved on to other parts of [[the Multiverse]]. Deducing this, the Cupids returned to the Homeworld, where Frankenstein built a [[One-Way Forced Spirit Realm Gateway]] which, when activated, would send everything around it to the Spirit Realm. | On [[Halloween]], [[Frankenstein-818]]'s [[Spirit Realm Gateway]], which he used every year to widen a [[spirit path]] into a portal into the [[Prime Universe]]'s [[Spirit Realm]], malfunctioned.

Around this time, the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids discovered the planet [[Triskadeckia]] in the [[Jynx Dimension]] and began sending romanticisation parties there. The first, made up of [[John-181]] and [[Tom-176]], wound up rescuing [[Pessimist-242]], who'd been kidnapped a few weeks prior along with [[Pessimist's Fog Ship|his Fog Ship]], from the clutches of Triskadeckian [[mad scientist]] [[Doctor Curious]]. They also brought back [[Doctor Curious's Monster]], a long-dead Mark I Cupid who had been reanimated by the scientist with a rejiggered, but benign, personality. Curious swore revenge on the Crew, though as he did not possess the coordinates to the Cupid Homeworld, the Cupids were not very concerned by this.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Professional Endorsement (comic story)|Professional Endorsement]]'') No other members of Parliament were nearby, however, such that the attack caused no casualties: the Parliament had yet to resume regular sessions in the aftermath of the [[Rabbit Invasion]]. After the smoke cleared, the [[Council of Elders]] decided to commission [[Foreman-964]]'s [[Department of Construction]] to build a new Parliament building, pleading with him that it not be a warehouse (something about which Foreman made no promises).
