Holmes is initially disbelieving, thinking of [[Baron Frankenstein]] as simply a fictional character, and, when he is introduced to Holmes, the Baron has a symmetrical reaction, but after Pythe provides the due explanations about the nature of the [[Multiverse]], the two eccentric geniuses turn out to get along well. After a spot of conversation on the nature of Frankenstein's experiments, he gives them his guesses (based on his experiences with [[Frankenstein's Monster|his monster]]) as to what [[Madame Tarsa]]'s rebellious toy might do next. Building from the Baron's insight, Pythe drags Holmes off to the [[Interdimensional Black Market]]. | [[Pythagoras-858]] and [[Sherlock Holmes#In the Prime Universe|Sherlock Holmes]] land near [[Castle Frankenstein]] in [[Frankenstein's World|a new universe]].

==== Chapter 10 ==== | |||
Received by the Oldest Toy in the Labyrinth, a [[Millicent (The Time of the Toymaker)|worn teddy bear]], [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]], [[Juliet-178]] and [[Arganthone-056]] explain [[Madame Tarsa]]'s predicament. The teddy bear confirms that Tarsa entrusted her with some of her secrets, and, taking out a seemingly blank book from a shelf, she uses a secret sigil to make one page become legible. The page contains a rhyming riddle which speaks of some “key” which must be retrieved from a “distant star” and could be used to reanimate Tarsa. With the teddy bear unable to shed any further light on the mysterious writing, the three travellers agree to try and see if they can find out anything more about this key in the archives of other, learned civilisations. They select as their first target the “forbidden wing of the [[Euclidean Plane]]'s Pentagon”, into which Arganthone broke once before, “for a [[Scarlet Wings]] mission back in ’84”. | |||
