After [[Pythagoras-858]] jumps after [[Juliet-178]] into the [[Troll]]'s cave, the three of them somehow end up teleporting to the [[Interdimensional Tavern]], where they are greeted by [[Tpxszum]], whom Juliet greets as an old friend. As introductions continue, the Troll gives his name as [[Tero Trollgarsson]], and Juliet explains how she transported him, Pythe and herself to the Tavern: using a flawed, experimental [[Dematerialisation Engine]] similar to the one [[Doctor Sigma]] gave [[CS-NA]], which she filched from Sigma's lab. When Tpxszum asks if they'd like to order anything, they find themselves invited to a table by a [[Odin|mysterious old man]]. | After [[Pythagoras-858]] jumps after [[Juliet-178]] into the [[Troll]]'s cave, the three of them somehow end up teleporting to the [[Interdimensional Tavern]], where they are greeted by [[Tpxszum]], whom Juliet greets as an old friend.

After the mother and son handily trounce the King, they all return to the Workshop to decorate their tree together. Cesse decides that all of this has taught him that “family” is an essential element of holiday spirit, leading him to the conclusion that the Crew ought to have one big party instead of a lot of lonelier small ones. Inputting random coordinates into his [[Dematerialisation Engine]] once again, he departs for another unknown location after thanking Tarsa's family and saying goodbye. | After the mother and son handily trounce the King, they all return to the Workshop to decorate their tree together.

Watching the [[Odin#In the Prime Universe|old man]] who invited them for drinks closely, [[Pythagoras-858]] comes to the conclusion that he is Odin, and tries to tell [[Juliet-178]]. She has noticed as well, however, and loudly makes it known, showing no awareness that Odin is trying to remain incognito. The God doesn't take offence at that much, but does seemingly become angered when Juliet makes a comment that seems insensitive when speaking to a one-eyed man; however, it becomes clear Odin is simply having them on when he makes his “divine punishment” a simple request that the Cherubs pay for the drinks instead of him because he's forgotten his wallet. Not having any money either, Juliet prevails on [[Tpxszum]], promising a future favour in exchange. Soon enough, the four all enjoy their drinks, and Odin explains that he is meeting them in the [[Interdimensional Tavern]], outside “the mortal universe”, as a loophole to be able to influence an evil plot afoot. He speaks a [[prophecy]] to them before leaving, giving them a final piece of advice: to stick with [[Tero Trollgarsson|the Troll]], irritating though he is. He notably does not leave the Troll himself a choice in the matter, to the latter's annoyance. | |||

* The Frost King also once “sparred” with a [[fire-titan]] on who should pay the bill after the two had lunch, with the King maintaining the titan should because they had burned up the tablecloth. | * The Frost King also once “sparred” with a [[fire-titan]] on who should pay the bill after the two had lunch, with the King maintaining the titan should because they had burned up the tablecloth. | ||

* Pythe briefly raises his [[Electromagnetic Ankh]] against [[Odin#In the Prime Universe|Odin]], although he “isn't especially sure what an Electromagnetic Ankh could even do to an ancient Norse God”. | |||
