On April 29th, 2019, Thymon was still a new addition to the Cupid Homeworld, and largely mistrusted. The [[Blue Feather]] interviewed him when investigating the theft of a mailbag, finding him in the delivery wing, where he was picking up bags of mail. After convincing them that he was innocent, chiding them for accusing him simply because he was a [[demon]], Thymon informed them that he had seen [[Marksmanship-522]] at the Post Office earlier the same day. He did not yet know Marksmanship's name at the time, instead showing them an image of the Cupid he'd seen which the Blue Feather recognised as Marksmanship. Although Marksmanship was not the culprit either, the testimony they gathered from him after tracking him down did help them in ultimately cracking the mystery.

While still acclimating to his new life in the [[Cupid Homeworld]], Thymon gave a free seminar at the [[Department of Motivational Speaking]], entitled ''[[How to Earn a Steady Living by Crushing Universes Beneath Your Proverbial Feet and Casting their Residents Into the Void of Swirling Oblivion]]''. The event was announced in advanced in Issue 1020 of ''[[The Cupid Courier]]''.

Elsewhere in the same issue of the ''Courier'', Thymon was quoted approving of the recent [[Cupid Parliament]] ruling that non-Cupid inhabitants of the Homeworld would start officially getting monthly days off, stating that he would be able to use them to visit his sister [[Lady Spatium]], whom he had been unable to contact since coming to live in the Homeworld because the Department of Postal Services did not handle deliveries beyond the Homeworld.

Thymon was diligently working in the [[Cupid Post Office]] when the magic rabbits summoned by [[the Hat]] started to make themselves known. Given his standards of reference for cuteness and normality, he found the creatures utterly ghastly and ran out of the building in terror. Subsequently, he used his powers to hold off the tidal wave of rabbits long enough for the [[Department of Problem-Solving]] and himself to take refuge in a warehouse. They stayed there for three days as the Cupids tried to think of a solution, with Thymon himself keeping himself entertained by playing with a Thymon Plushy. Eventually, the Cupids summoned [[Aphrodite (Prime Universe)|Aphrodite]] (who did not care for Thymon, thinking of him as the sort of entity whom [[Zeus]] would have cast into [[Tartarus]] in the old days, but did not voice this discomfort explicitly or otherwise pick a fight). After Aphrodite foolishly opened the doors, causing a wave of rabbits to pour in, Thymon used his powers to reverse time by a few seconds to undo this foolish act. Now realising the gravity of the situation, Aphrodite was able to use her powers to make the rabbits and the Hat vanish. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Magic Trick (novel)|Magic Trick]]'') In the aftermath of this “[[Rabbit Invasion]]”, Thymon had to defend his friends of the [[Department of Haberdashery]] from accusations that the Hat had been one of theirs, putting Thymon at odds with [[Colonel-028]].

=== Halloween 2019 === | |||
On [[Halloween]] 2019, Thymon helped with the festivities, sticking paper cutouts in the shapes of bats to the walls of the [[Department of Postal Services' building]] using “unknowable eldritch powers, and also tape”. After the [[Spirit Realm Gateway]] broke and allowed [[the Great Ghost's legion]] into the Homeworld, the Cupids were all teleported to the [[Interdimensional Tavern]] by the [[Cupid Prime]] using the [[Emergency Transport Button]]. He followed them there by his own means, trying to “warn” them about the spirits, and ended up transporting them back when they realised they had to stop the spirits from stealing a flotilla of [[Fog Ship]]s, though this realisation came too late to actually stop them. When the ghosts returned to abduct [[Frankenstein-818]], Thymon tried to hold them back by speaking an eldritch incantation which caused a sustain beam of force to shoot out of his eye, but it was matched by the collective psionic power of the spirits and he ended up being the one to yield, having “forgotten the next word of the incantation” because he hadn't dare practice them, as he used to, in the Homeworld, for fear of causing damage to the structure of its reality.

[[File:Lord Thymon in Peace and Quiet.png|thumb|right|Thymon hard at work in the Post Office. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Peace and Quiet (short story)|Peace and Quiet]]'')]]While working in the Cupid Post Office, Thymon later stumbled on the mailbag in the Mail Pickup Wing, inside which [[Marksmanship-522]] had ended up hiding in an effort to finally get some peace and quiet somewhere in the Homeworld. Fearing that Marksmanship was dead and he was looking at an attempt to conceal a murder, Thymon touched Marksmanship, startling him out of his slumber and forcing him to go seek out somewhere else to sleep. After he left, Thymon decided to try sleeping in a mailbag, quickly drifting to sleep and “presumably creating several new dream-universes in the process” — only to be found by [[Philatel-426]], who similarly wondered if he was dead as history repeated itself.
