After [[Pythagoras-858]] found [[Madame Tarsa]] magically frozen in her [[Workshop of Madame Tarsa|Worshop]] in December 2020, he dispatched [[Juliet-178]] and Arganthone-056 to the Workshop while he went off in the [[Multiverse]] to try and find the culprit(s). They were soon attacked by some of Tarsa's sentient marionettes, who believed them to be responsible, but Arganthone quickly defeated them, tying them up in their own strings. After they determined that Tarsa's sentient marionettes didn't know anything of value, Juliet got the idea to try and match the unnatural ice with unnatural ''heat'', and dragged Arganthone to [[Thrash|New Wellsia]] to try and get a [[Wellsian]] [[Heat Ray]]. | After [[Pythagoras-858]] found [[Madame Tarsa]] magically frozen in her [[Workshop of Madame Tarsa|Worshop]] in December 2020, he dispatched [[Juliet-178]] and Arganthone-056 to the Workshop while he went off in the [[Multiverse]] to try and find the culprit(s).

The two were shot down, and as they retreated it back to their [[Fog Ship]], it was damaged by the Wellsians' artillery.

Tumbling across the dimensions, it crashed in 1895 [[London]] in the [[Prime Universe]]. Luckily, this was witnessed by [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]], who joined the two Cupids, using her [[shift]]ing abilities to take them back to the Workshop where she thought Tarsa might have left some kind of failsage to reanimate her in an emergency. There, Arganthone tried to interrogate the [[Mechanical Fortune Teller]] to little effect before following Juliet and Jenny into [[Madame Tarsa's Toybox]]. There, they found their way to [[Wild West Town]], where the [[Frog Mayor]] advised the three visitors to look for the “oldest toy in the Toybox”, who resided in the [[Christmas Toyland]] area of the magical toybox. When they met [[Millicent (The Time of the Toymaker)|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 decided 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]]. 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. | The three travellers decided to look for further clues in the forms of legends and myths which other civilisations in the [[Multiverse]] might have about Tarsa.
