The Tumbleweed points them to where everybody's gone: they have gathered to watch a fight that's broken out in the centre of the Market between the [[Queen of the Black Market]] herself and her [[Wraith]]s on one side, and a [[the Clown Emperor|mysterious magical clown]] and his endless army of smaller duplicates of himself on the other. Realising that the head Clown is wielding [[Madame Tarsa's cane]], Holmes walks calmly into the commotion, using his skills at ''[[baritsu]]'' to dodge the clumsy attacks of the smaller clowns and Wraiths, and manages to trip the Clown. However, he uses the cane to teleport before any information can be extracted from him. The panting Queen confesses that she knows nothing about her attacker either. | The Tumbleweed points them to where everybody's gone: they have gathered to watch a fight that's broken out in the centre of the Market between the [[Queen of the Black Market]] herself and her [[Wraith]]s on one side, and a [[the Clown Emperor|mysterious magical clown]] and his endless army of smaller duplicates of himself on the other.

Arriving in the snowy [[Euclidean Plane]], the trio of [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]], [[Juliet-178]] and [[Arganthone-056]] head for the [[Geometron Citadel]]. However, as soon as they get close, patrolling [[Triangry|Triangries]] and [[Octaser]]s chase them off, believing this to be yet another attempted invasion of their world from the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids|Crew]]. They return holding a white flag (or, rather, a white leaf), calling for a Christmas truce and bringing a captive [[Ambagesque]] as a present and token of goodwill. While one of the guards goes to ask their superiors, the visitors and the guards begin to engage in a good-natured snowball fight. When the emissary of the Geometron Council return, they grudgingly allow the Cupids to search the Geometrons' records. Unfortunately, after much searching, it turns out the only sentence in the Geometrons' “file” on Tarsa is “The Cupids may have information about her”. Deciding they might as well take this at face value, however, the three resolve to head to the [[Cupid Homeworld]] and ask [[Bibliophile-962]] whether the [[Cupid Archives]] might hold relevant data. | Arriving in the snowy [[Euclidean Plane]], the trio of [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]], [[Juliet-178]] and [[Arganthone-056]] head for the [[Geometron Citadel]].

The [[Queen of the Black Market]] invites [[Pythagoras-858]] and [[Sherlock Holmes#In the Prime Universe|Sherlock Holmes]] to have lunch with her. As they eat, they discuss what the Queen and the Cupids know of [[Madame Tarsa]] and their guesses about [[the Clown Emperor|the Clown]]. Pythe notes that he believes there is only one Clown who multiplied himself using the power of the cane, as self-duplication is an ability which Tarsa displayed in the past; he hypothesises that the Cane is an [[Artefact of Power]]. However, the conversation turns out to have been overheard by [[Skollops ag-Warka]], who bursts into the tent where the three have been eating, demanding to learn more about such Artefacts. | |||
