On [[Halloween]] 2019, Dandy suggested that the [[Blue Feather]] engage in a costume contest. Dandy dressed as [[Salvador Dalí]], about whom he'd heard from an [[Art museum curator (The Ghosts and the Machine)|art museum curator]] he'd once romanticised. However, he came to regret his suggestion as the others' contributions to the contest were severely lacking at best, and nonexistent at worst, being particularly aggravated by [[Larrikin-1029]]'s oblivious assertion that his “space robot costume” (a cardboard box with a face scribbled on it) was the clear winner.

In December 2019, when [[Celebration-665]] organised the [[Festival of Giving]], Dandy attempted to form the Blue Feather into a caroling quartet. However, he could not find [[Larrikin-1029]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Frost King's Treasure (novel)|The Frost King's Treasure]]'') who was spreading Christmas cheer in the [[Euclidean Plane]] in his own mischievous way, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Geometrons' Holiday (comic story)|Geometrons' Holiday]]'') and Pessimist proved less than enthused by the suggestion, immediately foisting his sheet music onto a guileless [[Pseudo-Pessimist]] before attempting to sneak out. Before Dandy could try and find [[Acquaintanceship-982]], he was side-tracked by receiving an invitation to [[the Frost King's Realm]] sent by [[Darius|a mysterious figure]], and ended up dragging Pessimist off to [[Manik]] in a [[Fog Ship]] in this quest to find “[[the Frost King (The Frost King's Realm)|the Frost King]]'s treasure”. | |||
Landing on a snowy ridge, the two Cupids deduced that the treasure must be located in the closest mountain and began climbing it despite Pessimist's remonstrations. Eventually, they found themselves on a ledge near the top of the mountain where they bumped into several other groups who'd received identical invitations — including the [[New Wellsian Empire|Five Surviving Wellsians]], then the [[Interdimensional Tavern]] waiters [[Tpxszum]] and [[Frederick]] (plus [[Alistair Neezley]]), then [[21-419]] with the [[Retconning Crocodile|Retconning Crocodiles]] in pursuit, and finally [[Madame Tarsa]]. A fight quickly broke out before they all began to chaotically race the remaining distance to the crater-like basin at the top of the mountain. There, they found that the invitations had been sent as a lure by [[Darius]], who wanted revenge on all of them for varyingly-arbitrary reasons. | |||
The insane dromedary had not actually planned out any coherent means of subduing all his enemies once he'd lured them, however, and they easily overpowered him. After Dandy found that the treasure actually existed, being buried under the great ice throne which Darius had taken for himself, there was a brief risk of another brawl, but Pessimist, to everyone's surprise, stepped up and delivered a moving speech in favour of peace and goodwill which convinced everyone to agree to a truce and to divide the plentiful treasure equally. The Cupids thus got to pick their own share of the bounty, with Dandy extracting from it “a finely-woven outfit clearly meant for royalty” but also a pair of golden ear-muffs which he gifted to Pessimist so that he could use them to “block out the sound of other people's voices”.
