Years later, after the [[Imp]]s [[Olite]], [[Udent]] and [[Ertinent]] escaped, stole [[Dorothy Gale]]'s [[Magic Belt]] and brought it back to the [[witch]] [[Blinkie]], also stealing the [[Magic Picture]] and the [[Great Book of Records]], [[Ozma]] convened a great number of her friends and acquaintances to a room on the first floor the [[Emerald Palace]] to discuss the situation, including Dorothy, Jack, [[the Wizard of Oz|the Wizard]], [[Toto]], [[Tik-Tok]], [[Omby Amby|General Omby Amby]], [[Jellia Jamb]], [[the Glass Cat]], [[Trot]], [[the Sawhorse]], [[the Shaggy Man]], [[the Gump]], [[Flipper]], [[Eureka]], [[the Lonesome Duck]], [[Cap'n Bill]], [[the Scarecrow]], [[the Hungry Tiger]], [[the Cowardly Lion]], [[the Tin Woodman]], [[Billina]], [[Ojo]], [[the Woozy]], [[the Woggle-Bug]]. Also brought to the meeting by mistake was [[Acquaintanceship-982]], who had been mistaken for Tik-Tok by General Amby. The group decided to use [[Acquaintanceship-982's Fog Ship]] to quickly comb through the Land. During the rough take-off, Jack's pumpkin was damaged by Cap'n Bill tripping and falling onto Jack, prompting the latter to observe that he'd have to replace it soon. | Years later, after the [[Imp]]s [[Olite]], [[Udent]] and [[Ertinent]] escaped, stole [[Dorothy Gale]]'s [[Magic Belt]] and brought it back to the [[witch]] [[Blinkie]], also stealing the [[Magic Picture]] and the [[Great Book of Records]], [[Ozma]] convened a great number of her friends and acquaintances to a room on the first floor the [[Emerald Palace]] to discuss the situation, including Dorothy, Jack, [[the Wizard of Oz|the Wizard]], [[Toto]], [[Tik-Tok]], [[Omby Amby|General Omby Amby]], [[Jellia Jamb]], [[the Glass Cat]], [[Trot]], [[the Sawhorse]], [[the Shaggy Man]], [[the Gump]], [[Flipper]], [[Eureka]], [[the Lonesome Duck]], [[Cap'n Bill]], [[the Scarecrow]], [[the Hungry Tiger]], [[the Cowardly Lion]], [[the Tin Woodman]], [[Billina]], [[Ojo]], [[the Woozy]], [[the Woggle-Bug]].

They first landed in [[Munchkin Country]], where the possé met [[the Phonograph]] of Oz, who had spotted the imps.

During this brief stop, the Scarecrow applauded the Pathwork Girl's impromptu song trying to show off how much better a real musician was compared to a phonograph. Thanks to the Phonograph's directions, Acquaintanceship knew to fly towards [[Quadling Country]], but on the way through the forest which separated the two Countries, they were attacked by three [[kalidah]]s. After evading them, they were blown by a magic gust of winds to the mountains of [[Jinxland]], with Jack's head briefly popping off in the rough landing. In Jinxland, they found not only the imps, but also Blinkie. Gloating, the Wicked Witch unveiled a field full of hundreds of imp statues, which she intended to bring to life as an unstoppable army using the [[Powder of Life]]. Acquaintanceship attempted to romanticise Blinkie right there and then, but his shot missed and instead knocked the bottle Powder out of her hands. Taking his chance, Acquaintanceship grabbed the bottle and ran off with it into his Fog Ship, but Blinkie (who had yet to realise he had the Powder and thought he was just escaping) used the Belt to cause him to crash into the forest, and transformed most of the Ozites into various objects, with only Dorothy managing to escape. | ||
Acquaintanceship was unharmed, however, although his Ship was down. Out of other options, he used some of the Powder of Life to attempt to repair his Ship, with the effect of bringing it to life as a sentient entity. Startled, he dropped the rest of the Powder onto his [[Acquaintanceship-982's Bow|bow]] and [[Acquaintanceship-982's Arrows|arrows]], which similarly came to life. Together, they returned to Jinxland and managed to romanticise Blinkie and the Imps, who subsequently apologised to everyone and returned the magical items. However, the Ship's inexperience with flying itself caused it to crash again with Acquaintanceship itself, injuring him this time. With the Bow and Arrows finding them, however, the Imps worked with Tik-Tok to repair both of them. Healed, Acquaintanceship was offered the chance to stay in the Emerald Palace as a permanent resident but turned it down, unlike the Ship, Bow and Arrows.
