Although [[Jenny Everywhere | Although [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]] and [[Pythagoras-858]] were not the main characters (with the narrative instead focusing on a newly-introduced human protagonist, [[Wendy VII|Wendy]]), their part in the plot resolved the cliffhanger at the end of [[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids]]''. | ||

After a tense encounter with [[Jark Haine]], a telepathic [[Propugnator]], Wendy decides to try and rent a room. While waiting in line, she meets the [[Queen of the Black Market|Queen]] of the [[Interdimensional Black Market]]. Taking a liking to Wendy, the Queen takes her under her wing, paying for her room and inviting her to dinner. As it turns out, this does not conflict with her earlier appointment, as the Queen is also here to meet Sylvester Shoebill, who is apparently in her debt. | After a tense encounter with [[Jark Haine]], a telepathic [[Propugnator]], Wendy decides to try and rent a room.

Wendy attempts to text her [[Will Severn|brother]], but only succeeds in getting through to a [[Temp (The Grand Multiverse Hotel)|minor interdimensional entity]], who the Queen enslaves to her phone for her. They go down to have dinner as planned, with Sylv soon offering the Queen the [[Crystal of Thrash]] as payment for his debt. As they begin to eat the main courses, however, the Queen collapses, seemingly poisoned to death. While Sylv is coerced into bringing her body back to her room, Wendy looks for a hotel detective, and bumps into [[Jenny Everywhere | Wendy attempts to text her [[Will Severn|brother]], but only succeeds in getting through to a [[Temp (The Grand Multiverse Hotel)|minor interdimensional entity]], who the Queen enslaves to her phone for her.

Brought to the Queen's room, where Jenny and Sylv recognise each other from a previous encounter and end up [[shift]]ing away in the middle of a scuffle, Pythe realises that the Queen's soul has not left her body; all they need is a magical ritual to purge her body of the poison and restore her to life. They land on the idea of using a classic “Kiss of True Love”, although Wendy's “mild infatuation” is only strong enough to ''half''-bring her back. However, they are forced to vacate the room in a hurry when the conditions start to shift, ready to accommodate the next, non-human guest. To get the Queen back on her feet in time, Wendy lets Pythe use Cupid [[Love Potion]] on her, making her artificially love the Queen as deeply as she can, such that the Kiss now functions perfectly. | Brought to the Queen's room, where Jenny and Sylv recognise each other from a previous encounter and end up [[shift]]ing away in the middle of a scuffle, Pythe realises that the Queen's soul has not left her body; all they need is a magical ritual to purge her body of the poison and restore her to life.
