The Department of Alchemy is one of the Departments of the Cupid Intelligence Institute, itself a subdivision of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.
Description[]
The Department of Alchmey, into which Pythagoras-858 "doesn't much much stock", is the group of Cupids tasked with experimenting with alchemical substances and processes. Mandragoras-257 was a member of the Department until one of his experiments caused a devastating explosion, leading to his exile to Morningstar 1. The Department was still active in 2019, when it was tasked with analyzing an eldritch hairball coughed-up by the time monster Lord Thymon; their report was that it was "the physical embodiment of a hairy situation".
Behind the scenes[]
The Department of Alchemy first appeared in Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving in 2019. They were more heavily mentioned later the same year in The Resurrection of the Wellsians.
