At three in the afternoon, however, he was interrupted by a strange visitor who initially used the name “Moriarty” to get his attention, then more properly introduced himself as [[Pythagoras-858|Pythagoras]]. Pythagoras was a [[Clockwork Cherub]] and had travelled back in time to meet Sherlock; from Pythe's perspective, this was not his first meeting with the British detective, but their prior encounters had taken place later in Holmes's timeline. He convinced Holmes that he was not mad by telling him about a typographical error in a memo whose only draft was still in Holmes's office, not having been published yet. | At three in the afternoon, however, he was interrupted by a strange visitor who initially used the name “Moriarty” to get his attention, then more properly introduced himself as [[Pythagoras-858|Pythagoras]].

Pythe transported Sherlock to the Workshop, where he had the British detective examine the crime scene. Holmes pointed out that [[Madame Tarsa's cane]] had been stolen, and helped Pythe arrive at an additional hypothesis: that one of Tarsa's own living toys, one she'd just created, was responsible.

Holmes pointed out that [[Madame Tarsa's cane]] had been stolen, and helped Pythe arrive at an additional hypothesis: that one of Tarsa's own living toys, one she'd just created, was responsible. After obtaining [[Baron Frankenstein#In Frankenstein's World|Baron Frankenstein]]'s insight on these kinds of situation, the two guessed that the toy might have ended up at the [[Interdimensional Black Market]]. Indeed, they found a [[the Clown Emperor|living toy clown]] there, engaged in a duel with the [[Queen of the Black Market]]. Holmes stepped in and managed to trip up the Clown, giving the Queen the advantage. However, the Clown teleported away before they could any information out of him. Holmes and Pythe subsequently shared a meal with the Queen, which was interrupted by a [[Wellsian]], [[Skollops ag-Warka]], who tried to force them to give him an [[Artefact of Power]]; instead, thanks to the timely intervention of [[Wendy VII]], they ended up making an even trade with the Wellsian, giving him the [[Whistle of the Witch Varganax]] in exchange for him telling them where the Clown had gone.
