In 2019, the Parliament made the emergency decision of exiling the [[Sisters of Juliet]] to [[Dimension 1579]].

At some point prior to [[Pessimist-242]] and [[Larrikin-1029]]'s adventure in the [[Workshop of Madame Tarsa]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Cupid Suggestion Box (short story)|The Cupid Suggestion Box]]'') the [[Copper-Colored Council of Elders]] put up the [[Cupid Suggestion Box]]. Among other things, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Cupid Suggestion Box (short story)|The Cupid Suggestion Box]]'') [[Pessimist's Fog Ship]] put in a request with the Parliament for them to officially grant vacation time to the increasing number of non-Clockwork Cherub members of the Crew, such as the sentient Fog Ship itself. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Toymaker's Labyrinth (short story)|The Toymaker's Labyrinth]]'', ''[[The Cupid Suggestion Box (short story)|The Cupid Suggestion Box]]'') They agreed to put it to a vote in the Parliament, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Cupid Suggestion Box (short story)|The Cupid Suggestion Box]]'') and later rubber-stamped a more bounded version of the original proposal, which seemed to broadly satisfy the targets. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Conspiracy-1263 Publicly Accuses the Gang of the Green Gorillas (short story)|Conspiracy-1263 Publicly Accuses the Gang of the Green Gorillas]]'') They also got a threatening note from a nonexistent Cupid who signed [[Wicked-6666]], as well as a number of highly frivolous requests, with [[Foreman-964]]'s insistence on sending them messages asking them to take his side in his feud with [[Philatel-426]] ultimately causing them to put guards around the Suggestion Box to prevent him or the equally spamming-prone [[Acquaintanceship-982]] from accessing it. On what would ultimately become the Suggestion Box's last day in operation, [[Larrikin-1029]] also accidentally broke one of the windows of the [[Cupid Parliament building]], leaving an apologetic note in the Suggestion Box. After a few more inane suggestions, the Elders agreed to stop operating the Suggestion Box altogether.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Cupid Suggestion Box (short story)|The Cupid Suggestion Box]]'') Subsequently, queries to the Parliament were sent through the [[Cupid Post Office]], apparently in sufficient numbers that a specific crate for them, of equal size to “Misc.

When they received an S.O.S. from [[Morningstar 1 Base]] on [[Venus#In the 97th Cosmos|Colony World #2]], the Cupid Parliament debated what to do at some length until they decided to do what they usually did, namely send in the [[Department of Problem-Solving]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Resurrection of the Wellsians (short story)|The Resurrection of the Wellsians]]'') After the Problem-Solvers returned with news that the [[Wellsian]]s had returned, the Parliament made an official statement to the Crew, claiming that it was “nothing to worry about”.
