Department of Festivities
The Department of Festivities was a division of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids. Celebration-665 was a member.
In late 2020, Celebration submitted "a rather underwhelming report" to the Department of Documentation.
In December 2020, a few days before Christmas, Celebration was summoned for his expert opinion after Carter-1277 opened a mysterious gift which contained a large leatherbound book, on the basis that the book was a Christmas present. Partly to regain some popularity among his peers, Celebration was keen to regard the book, the only present the Crew had received thus far, as a Christmas miracle which was at odds with time-demon Lord Thymon's opinion that there was something rotten about the whole business. Celebration's expertise in festivities, as well as his status as a "fine and upstanding member" of the Crew, was influential in his reasoning prevailing, especially as the matter at its heart concerned the proper handling of a Christmas present. Celebration proceeded to perform a dramatic reading of the book, which part way through turned out to be Auteur's Abecedarium, finishing with a plea for the reader to burn their history and save themselves from Auteur. Bibliophile-962 then took the book from Celebration and left hurriedly to lock it away in the Cupid Archives. Although the awkwardness following this threatened to leave the event on a downbeat mood, Celebration was able to appease the assembled crowd by inviting everyone to his place for cakes.
