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. | The [[Queen of the Black Market]] invites [[Pythagoras-858]] and [[Sherlock Holmes#In the Prime Universe|Sherlock Holmes]] to have lunch with her.

'' | In the [[Cupid Homeworld]], at the Cupid Post Office, [[Lord Thymon]] discusses the toys he is looking forward to receiving (unaware of the troubles with Madame Tarsa) with [[Philatel-426]]. Soon, they receive the visit of [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]], [[Juliet-178]] and [[Arganthone-056]], here to introduce Jenny to Thymon as they promised to, while they were in the Homeworld. After doing so (with the two extradimensional entities getting along surprisingly well), they go find [[Bibliophile-962]] at the [[Cupid Archives]]. He does not know of any in-depth documentation about [[Madame Tarsa]] other than a few short Fact Files based on the Cupids' recent experiences with her, but agrees to help them look for such materials in the depths of the Cupid Archives. | ||
This proves a more dangerous operation than expected, as the entrance to the Archives is guarded by a [[Mechanical Sphinx]] (originally built by [[Cupida Hartnell|the Creator]] to protect the Archives from [[Chronon Flea]]s). After expending a lot of effort getting past the Sphinx without waking it up, they realise the Sphinx is actually awake, but let them through as a Christmas present — on the condition that they get ''it'' an actual gift once Tarsa is thawed out, which they awkwardly promise. They don't find anything directly relevent, but ''do'' find something that reminds Bibliophile of his adventures with [[Tracker-764]] involving the [[Consistency Imperium]]. With Bibliophile remembering that, at its height, the Imperium had “a grand library [which] must have contained the histories of thousands of lost civilizations”, they decide to go back to the planet [[Subcinctus]] to see if any of those records survived. | |||
