They dressed up in fish costumes and generally kept to this theme as their gimmick. | ||
== History == | == History == | ||
=== Origins === | |||
The Faction originated as one of the many [[Strangely-Colored Secret Society|Strangely-Colored Secret Societies]] formed in the [[Prime Universe]] as a result of the [[First Horde]] laying off large numbers of its personnel and imperfectly wiping their minds of their time as Horde operatives, giving them a subconscious itch to form new, similar societies. Its founder was [[Archibald Fishflipper]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Strangely-Colored Secret Societies (short story)|The Strangely-Colored Secret Societies]]'') Archibald's faction initially pursued the same goal as its originators, namely researching [[Atlantis#In the Prime Universe|Atlantean]] artefacts, hence picking a sea creature as their emblem. However, they quickly became bored with these pursuits, and pivoted to pranking, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Faction of the Fooling Fish (short story)|The Faction of the Fooling Fish]]'') delighting in old-fashioned pranks like pie-throwing, electrically-charged hand-buzzers or glueing googly eyes to things. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rifts Crisis Officially Over! (short story)|Rifts Crisis Officially Over!]]'') Their home base in the Prime Universe was a warehouse filled with practical jokes. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Faction of the Fooling Fish (short story)|The Faction of the Fooling Fish]]'') | |||
=== Contacts with the Cupids === | |||
The Faction of the Fooling Fish were originally only active on Earth. However, in the early 21s century, they began to have contacts with the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rifts Crisis Officially Over! (short story)|Rifts Crisis Officially Over!]]'') starting on April 29th, 2019. When a [[Rift]] appeared by chance in their headquarters, connecting to the [[Cupid Homeworld]], the Fish snuck into the Cupid Homeworld and made themselves known to the Cupids by stilling a pie left to cool on [[Colonel-028]]'s windowsill and replacing it with a paper fish. The [[Blue Feather]] followed the trail of crumbs back to the Fish headquarters, where they quickly met the Fooling Fish themselves. A minor scuffle broke out when the Cupids pointed out that it was not, in fact, [[April Fools' Day]], and the Cupids were forced to hightail it back through the Rift before getting the [[Department of Rifts]] to seal the Rift. | |||
A short time later, the Rift reopened, and the Fish entered the Cupid Homeworld again, armed with a brainwashing device they'd recently acquired. They snuck into the [[Department of Documentation]]'s offices and found [[Bibliophile-962]] working on a [[Cupid Fact File]] on the Fish themselves, numbered #444. They used the brainwashing device to make Bibliophile forget his responsibilities and wander out into the wider Homeworld playing prank, while making their own, self-aggrandising additions to the Fact File in indelible green ink. The vandals were caught in the act, however, and forced back through the Rift which was closed a second time. The Blue Feather were assigned the task of guarding the location of the Rift in case it opened yet again. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Faction of the Fooling Fish (short story)|The Faction of the Fooling Fish]]'') When it next opened, it let in an [[old man (The Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Planet)|old man]] from [[Dimension (The Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Plane)|a hub dimension]] instead of the “a society of prank-and-fish-loving folk” the Cupids had been expecting. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Plane (short story)|The Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Plane]]'') | |||
This included letting [[Astro]], an extremely metafictional rhyming dog, loose on the [[Prime Universe|Prime]] [[Earth]]; driving some [[Geometron]]s insane with the sight of a three-dimensional fish; convincing most of the merchants of the [[Interdimensional Black Market]] that the Market was relocating to the [[Interdimensional Tavern]]; and attempting to convince [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures of the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]] that one of their number was one of her incarnations, from a universe where fish were considered supreme, who went by “the Fishter”. | === Acquiring the ''Fish'n'Ship'' === | ||
In the eleventh hour of the “[[Rifts Crisis]]”, the Fooling Fish somehow acquired a [[tachyonic sailing ship]] which they used to rescue [[Marksmanship-522]], [[Tracker-764]], [[Bibliophile-962]] and [[Pythagoras-858]] from the impending explosion of [[Mandragora's Machine]] and return them to the Cupid Homeworld. | |||
As recorded in [[the Cupid Courier|the ''Cupid Courier'']], the Fish then ran amok in the Homeworld for “about an hour” before climbing back into their newly-acquired Void Ship and setting sail to explore the [[Multiverse]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rifts Crisis Officially Over! (short story)|Rifts Crisis Officially Over!]]'') They resolved to make a striking first impression on the upcoming [[April Fools' Day]], and hired [[Lainya Vantrik]] to guard their ship for them in [[the Void]] while they dropped off small parties in a variety of locations to complete a large number of elaborate practical jokes. | |||

After Jenny called [[Pythagoras-858]], he made his way to the Fish's ship and made them promise to be safer and more considerate in their next bout of prank. Sheepish, the Fish agreed. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Multiversal Mischief (short story)|Multiversal Mischief]]'') | After Jenny called [[Pythagoras-858]], he made his way to the Fish's ship and made them promise to be safer and more considerate in their next bout of prank.

=== Christmas 2021 === | |||
In or slightly before December 2021, the Faction found a universe they couldn't enter, which they decided to name [[Dimension Zeta-32-Orangepeel-Grbbrzkwlkglb]]. It seemed to be surrounded by a shield which caused a permanent storm “around” it on the [[Chronon Sea]]. They headed to the [[Interdimensional Library]] for research, and discovered that this dimension was an artificial [[pocket universe]], used as a haven by the survivors of a [[pandimensional war (The Winter Quests)|pandimensional war]]. | |||
After the robot [[CS-NA]] randomly landed aboard the Faction's tachyonic ship, by then renamed the ''[[Fish'n'Ship]]'', while he was using his [[Dematerialisation Engine]] randomly, they convinced him to serve as their guinea pig on what they claimed would be Christmas-themed pranks; though he had fun engaging in Christmas-themed activities for a whole day under their supervision, CS-NA couldn't figure out how they were supposed to count as “pranks”, which, indeed, they weren't. The Faction instead wanted to ensure he would be suitable for a mission for which they needed his help: steering the ''Fish'n'Ship'' past the shield so as to bring the pocket universe's inhabitants the joys of the holiday season. After they succeeded, CS-NA, concluding that “Fun” was another fundamental element of the holiday, agreed to stay for a little while and enjoy the celebration. | |||
After CS-NA returned to the Cupid Homeworld and set up a Christmas party there, he invited the Faction, who brought a mountain of snow for whoever wanted to to play in. It was especially enjoyed by [[Larrikin-1029]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'') | |||
