([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids]]'')]]Some time into his quest to find and defeat Mandragora, Pythagoras became cut off from the [[Cupid Homeworld]] due to the [[Rifts Crisis]]. However, as he had “been told” that there was not much someone like him could do about the crisis, he simply continued to seek Mandragora. While he was flying [[Pythagoras-858's Fog Ship|his Fog Ship]] through the [[Void]], a [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|version of Jenny Everywhere]] who had been looking for a way to stop the Rifts [[shifting|shifted]] into the back seat of his Ship. In the ensuing confusion, they crash-landed the Ship on [[Universe (Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids)|a desert planet]] and talked things out. While initially mistrustful of Jenny, Pythe as convinced of her good intentions; after she shared what she knew about the Rifts, he decided to investigate the location of the hideout of the [[Consistency Imperium]], and let her come along in his Ship — being that she had lost faith in her abilities as a Shifter so long as the crisis continued.

Pythagoras spent several months travelling with [[Jenny Everywhere | Pythagoras spent several months travelling with [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny]], looking for the source of the [[Rift]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Grand Multiverse Hotel (short story)|The Grand Multiverse Hotel]]'') During this period, Pythe mentioned [[the Home City]] to her on multiple occasions. She initially thought he was referring to the capital of the [[Cupid Homeworld]] until she realised that it was actually a city in the [[Prime Universe]] and the original home of [[the Creator]]. He also told her about the [[Company of Free Genies]], whom he saw as kindred spirits due to the broad similarity between “Problem-Solving” and “Wish-Granting” as lines of work.

Their investigation into the source of the Rifts uncovered a number of suspects, including a “bull-guy” who had invented a Rift-making ray, a [[The Doctor|time-traveller with a bowtie]], and a young [[space behemoth]] called [[Fyargathaaark865blububurgh$1gkzo]] who had been playing with xir dad's chemistry set. However, they noticed that all of these situations had righted themselves without their help; whether or not they were the starting point of the Rifts epidemic, they came to the conclusion that they were not the right point at which to attempt to influence the Crisis's development. Instead, the path to salvation was to find whoever had been ''accelerating'' the Rifts' spread from dimension to dimension. | Their investigation into the source of the Rifts uncovered a number of suspects, including a “bull-guy” who had invented a Rift-making ray, a [[The Doctor|time-traveller with a bowtie]], and a young [[space behemoth]] called [[Fyargathaaark865blububurgh$1gkzo]] who had been playing with xir dad's chemistry set.

Pythe made his way to 1895 [[London]] in the [[Prime Universe]] and recruited [[Sherlock Holmes#In the Prime Universe|Sherlock Holmes]] (in what was their first meeting from Sherlock's perspective). He transported Sherlock to the Workshop, where he had the British detective examine the crime scene. Holmes pointed out that [[Madame Tarsa's cane|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. He took Holmes to [[Frankenstein's World]] to consult [[Baron Frankenstein#In Frankenstein's World|the Baron]] about the likely psychology of such a rebellious creation, and, using what Frankenstein told him, correctly guessed that the toy — who turned out to be a puppet clown — would be headed to the [[Interdimensional Black Market]]. There, Pythe and Holmes help the [[Queen of the Black Market]] fight him off, but were unable to prevent him from teleporting to yet another world. However, they bargained with [[Skollops ag-Warka]], who had witnessed the Clown's departure, and obtained the coordinates from him in exchange for the [[Whistle of the Witch Varganax]]. | Pythe made his way to 1895 [[London]] in the [[Prime Universe]] and recruited [[Sherlock Holmes#In the Prime Universe|Sherlock Holmes]] (in what was their first meeting from Sherlock's perspective).

The Clown had retreated to [[Shenanig]], where, after bumping into [[Doctor Curious]], Pythe, Holmes and Wendy learned that the culprit for the freezing of Tarsa had been [[Sebastian Steer]], only for the incomplete living toy he'd been attempted to steal and finish himself — the Clown — to turn against him. Pythe managed to convince the Clown that he shouldn't try to emulate his villainous “father”, but rather his other parent, Tarsa.

They greeted him jovially as an old friend, and he was able to make them apologise for having gone overboard with some of their pranks this year in their rush to make the most of their newly-acquired interdimensional capabilities.

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. | 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.

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]].
