=== Early Blue Feather misadventures === | |||
The Blue Feather were originally housed in a derelict warehouse located on the opposite side of the [[Mainland Cloud]], where Acquaintanceship had to use an upside-down crate as a desk. They weren't given missions of any importance, and indeed, it could be months in-between the missions they did get, disappointing as they were. For example, they once went months without any assignments at all after “the Great Grape Jelly Stain Catastrophe”, their grandiloquent name for the occasion upon which [[Marmalade-624]] spilled grape jelly on his tablecloth and hired the Blue Feather to wash it off.

Just as they were getting settled in, [[Colonel-028]] rushed into their new office with a new mystery to investigate: the theft of a pie from his windowsill. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery (short story)|Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery]]'') Having badgered badgered the [[Cupid Parliament]] into authorising an official investigation, he set the Blue Feather on the task. Following a trail of pie-crumbs, the Blue Feather found a [[Rift]] leading to the [[Faction of the Fooling Fish]]'s headquarters in the [[Prime Universe]], where they briefly confronted the Faction for the first time. After fleeing back through the Rift, they got the [[Department of Rifts]] to close it. After the Rifts reopened and had to be closed a second time after a second Fooling Fish incursion, the Blue Feather were assigned to guarding the location of the Rift, in case it opened again.

=== Late 2019 holidays === | |||
On [[Halloween]] 2019, Ally participated with his usual mix of cluelessness and goodwill in the Blue Feather costume contest organised by [[Dandy-432]], with his [[ghost]] costume consisting of a single sheet in which he had, in fact, even forgotten to cut any eye-holes.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Larrikin and the Christmas Pudding (short story)|Larrikin and the Christmas Pudding]]'')]]In December, Ally talked [[Pessimist-242]] into going to the Prime Earth with him on a “mission” which turned out to be an excuse to frolic around in a newly-snowy field. Pessimist was unimpressed by all the snow-related activities Ally insisted on showing him, culminating in the Mark III accidentally being trapped inside a snowman, which caused Ally to believe that the moaning, shambling thing had magically come to life. After Pessimist collided with a rock, which shook the snow off him, Ally believed Pessimist had defeated the “snow monster”, a notion he did not bother to contradict.

On Christmas Day proper, [[Dandy-432]] organised a dinner party in the Blue Feather's wing of the [[Department of Postal Services' building]]. Ally attended it with the rest of the Blue Feather, and reacted enthusiastically at Dandy's suggestion of playing some party games after the dinner proper.
