After [[Pythagoras-858]] found [[Madame Tarsa]] magically frozen in her [[Workshop of Madame Tarsa|Worshop]] in December 2020, he dispatched Juliet and [[Arganthone-056]] to the Workshop while he went off in the [[Multiverse]] to try and find the culprit(s). 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 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 before they got anywhere near the Wellsian citadel, 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]].

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, while Arganthone tried to interrogate the [[Mechanical Fortune Teller]] (to little effect), Juliet and Jenny headed into [[Madame Tarsa's Toybox]]. There, making their way through the Labyrinthine interior, they found themselves arriving at [[Wild West Town]], where the [[Frog Mayor]] advised the three visitors to look for the “oldest toy in the Labyrinth”, 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 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]]. | There, while Arganthone tried to interrogate the [[Mechanical Fortune Teller]] (to little effect), Juliet and Jenny headed into [[Madame Tarsa's Toybox]].

On the fairly long way there, they came across his brother [[Fenrir#In the Prime Universe|Fenrir]], who realised a scheme to free Loki was afoot and tried to stop it. Juliet tried to shoot a [[Cupid Arrow]] at the giant wolf to make him sympathetic to their own desires, but CS-NA stopped her from taking the shot, due to a line in Odin's prophecy warning them to “hunt not the Hound”. In the end, Fenrir ended up getting fortuitously knocked out by a boulder, allowing the group to proceed. In Loki's chamber, they were confronted with Sigyn, whose identity Pythe finally explained to Juliet, as well as the nature of what they were trying to obtain. Urged by Sigyn to get to the Wyrm-slaying already, Pythe got advice from Loki himself; at his suggestion and with his consent, they allowed a few drops of venom to reach him, causing him to thrash in supernaturally-charged pain — and causing an earthquake as a result, which shook the serpent loose from the roof of the cavern and knocked him out with falling stalactites. Juliet then leapt at the dazed creature and rodeoed it into submission, tying it to nearby a stalagmite. | On the fairly long way there, they came across his brother [[Fenrir#In the Prime Universe|Fenrir]], who realised a scheme to free Loki was afoot and tried to stop it.

While Pythe and Juliet were dealing with the snake, CS-NA, having been convinced to do so by the trickster, freed Loki from his bonds. However, his escape was short-lived, as he was soon recaptured by Fenrir, who had regained consciousness. Pythe and Juliet got Cesse to explain himself to them, and, seeing how he'd had the best of intentions, agreed not to mention his brief lapse of judgement to anyone. After Cesse helped Loki's family set up a Christmas party within their cavern, the group returned to the Homeworld. CS-NA set up a huge party for the entire Crew and a bevy of their friends, with [[Jenny Everywhere | While Pythe and Juliet were dealing with the snake, CS-NA, having been convinced to do so by the trickster, freed Loki from his bonds.

As they ate, Pythe began discussing with Juliet whether they should set up a new protocol for Crewmembers dealing with deities other than [[Aphrodite#In the Prime Universe|Aphrodite]], but Juliet convinced him to put off “office talk” until after the holidays, and he ended up instead reminiscing about past cases with her and the other members of his Department, [[Valerius-1497]], [[Carter-1277]] and [[Edwin-750]].
