Cupid Fact File No. 124 — The Interdimensional Tavern

Cupid Fact File #124 — The Interdimensional Tavern is a prose story, written by Lupan Evezan. The sixth Cupid Fact File, it features the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (including Bibliophile-962) and, in their debuts, Tpxszum, Frederick, Volensholagoz, SERIAL CODE 000000234 and the Drink-Mixer. Characters implied to be Gyro Gearloose and Donald Duck are also mentioned, though for copyright reasons they are not formally identified.
==Description==
Like other Cupid Fact Files, the short story purports itself to be a digitized version of a file from the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' Archives, detailing information about a target that is, or was once, of interest to the Crew. In this case, it is the Interdimensional Tavern, in the Void, which they so like to visit.
===References===
* The Tavern's full name is “Volensholagoz’s Tavern, Grill, and Schmporp-Rehorbbler”. It opened in “April of ∉∝” and allegedly has not changed its staff since.
* Volensholagoz resembles an inanimate golf ball, although the employees all insist that he is in fact a person and the boss.
* The waiters Tpxszum and Frederick come from Dimension )-0//zx.
* Clockwork Cherubs do not need to eat to survive at all, but do have “finely-tuned” taste-receptors which allow them to enjoy “the Gruel”, the single, but extraordinarly delicious, food served at the Tavern.
* One of the many drinks served at the Tavern, the Quasi-spiraled Moonduster, is said to taste “like the sixth star of the Gambit System in Dimension ^6-Q”.
* Members of the Department of Documentation who were relaxing at the Tavern once had a “very interesting conversation” with a cockatoo inventor whose three-wheeled time-machine had malfunctioned, landing him and his waterfowl friend in the Void.
===Continuity===
* Tpxszum and Frederick note that their homeworld, Dimension )-0//zx, “no longer exists”. The circumstances of its destruction were mentioned a short while later in Marksmanship-522 and the Multi-Dimensional Race (2019).
