After Fenwick explains that he wants the [[Copper-Colored Cupid]]s to give him a supply of [[Cupid Arrow]]s and [[Cupid Love Potion]] with which to turn himself into a beloved, successful writer back on his home [[Earth]], he is taken before the [[Cupid Parliament]]. There, he makes himself even more of an irritation, nagging the Parliamentary Cupids with a series of ''non sequitur'' questions on various topics — with even the famously sanguine [[Patient-039]] raising his voice. Before he knows it, the writer finds himself the subject of the [[burlap sack]] running gag he himself knows so well. | After Fenwick explains that he wants the [[Copper-Colored Cupid]]s to give him a supply of [[Cupid Arrow]]s and [[Cupid Love Potion]] with which to turn himself into a beloved, successful writer back on his home [[Earth]], he is taken before the [[Cupid Parliament]].

By the [[Lord Thymon]] arrives in the [[temporary Parliamentary Hall]] with a stack of reports mailed by the [[Department of Applied Contrafibulation]], Fenwick has been stuffed back into his capsule and sent back to his home universe, where the capsule has been rigged to self-destruct as soon as its occupant has walked out of it. Just to be safe, Larrikin gives Thymon a photo of Fenwick and asks Thymon to disintegrate him on sight if he comes back; although the Cupid dignitaries chastise the reckless violence of the sentiment, few of them disagree with the spirit in which it is made. | By the time [[Lord Thymon]] arrives in the [[temporary Parliamentary Hall]] with a stack of reports mailed by the [[Department of Applied Contrafibulation]], Fenwick has been stuffed back into his capsule and sent back to his home universe, where the capsule has been rigged to self-destruct as soon as its occupant has walked out of it.

Back in Fenwick's universe, the writer decides to get the last laugh over the Cupids the only way he can: by writing up the day's events as [[The Metafictional Meddler (in-universe)|a new entry]] in ''Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids'' series and ending on a scene of himself laughing at his own trick, right here in the attic where he plies his writerly trade. | Back in Fenwick's universe, the writer decides to get the last laugh over the Cupids the only way he can: by writing up the day's events as [[The Metafictional Meddler (in-universe)|a new entry]] in ''Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids'' series and ending on a scene of himself laughing at his own trick, right here in the attic where he plies his writerly trade. | ||
