Indeed, she followed them into [[Madame Tarsa's Toybox]], where she greatly enjoyed the atmosphere of the [[Christmas Toyland]] where they were advised to seek the “[[Millicent (The Time of the Toymaker)|oldest toy in the Toymaker's Labyrinth]]” by the [[Frog Mayor]] of [[Wild West Town]]. When they met her, however, she was only able to show them the relevant rhyming clue left by Tarsa (which spoke of a “key” in a “distant star”), but not explain its meaning. The three travellers agreed to look for further clues in the forms of legends and myths which other civilisations in the [[Multiverse]] might have about Tarsa. They first, unsuccessfully tried the [[Euclidean Plane]] (where they engaged in a snowball fight with the [[Geometron Citadel|Citadel]]'s [[Octaser]] and [[Triangry]] guards) before heading to the [[Cupid Homeworld]] itself to check the [[Cupid Archives]]. | Indeed, she followed them into [[Madame Tarsa's Toybox]], where she greatly enjoyed the atmosphere of the [[Christmas Toyland]] where they were advised to seek the “[[Millicent (The Time of the Toymaker)|oldest toy in the Toymaker's Labyrinth]]” by the [[Frog Mayor]] of [[Wild West Town]].

There, they introduced Jenny to [[Lord Thymon]], with whom she got along quite well. They then headed to the Archives, where [[Bibliophile-962]] helped them make their way to the relevant section, sneaking past the [[Mechanical Sphinx]]. They did not find anything directly related to Tarsa, but were inspired to go to [[New Subcinctus]] to see if any of the [[Consistency Imperium]]'s records had survived the Imperium's fall. However, they did not find anything there which they did not already know, despite being granted an audience by [[Vertolin]] himself. They headed to the [[Interdimensional Tavern]] in defeat, hoping to simply ask around for relevant intel. They found none, but, reconsidering the rhyming riddle, Juliet realised that the key was actually hidden inside the [[Star Atop the Tree]] in the Christmas Toyland, rather than a literal star. | There, they introduced Jenny to [[Lord Thymon]], with whom she got along quite well, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Time of the Toymaker (novel)|The Time of the Toymaker]]'') subsequently keeping in touch with him via texts.

Going back to the Toyland, they conferred briefly with the Toy, who gave them climbing gear, and eventually made their way to the top of the tree with the help of a toy nutcracker called [[the General]]. The trio opened the Star, uncovering the magical mallet it contained, only to discover that tampering with the Star awakened the very literal [[Snap-Dragon]] that lived at the bottom of [[Snapdragon Lake]]. Nevertheless, the three soon defeated the creature through trickery and made their way out of the Toyland. The three agreed that Juliet, whose reputation back hom “needed the polish”, be the one to strike the ice, freeing Tarsa. After the appropriate thanks, Jenny invited herself to [[221B Baker Street]] to attend the Christmas party of [[Sherlock Holmes#In the Prime Universe|Sherlock Holmes]], with whom Pythagoras had teamed up in the course of his own misadventures.
