==Non Player Characters==
*Crosby Jameson: finally got an apology from Bill Destatueman for Bill impersonating him during Ferris Whee, and Crosby was able to publicly clear his name. We learned Crosby is the heir to a sending stone company. 
*Lady Elizabeth Featherbottom: Mary Elizabeth Stewart broke Elizabeth's hand using Mary's magic during an arm wrestling competition. 
*Rictavio Brittlecorn: mocked Bill's inability to apprehend con artist crooks and then soundly trounced him during a dance off. 
*Addam Shelley: entered into a publishing agreement with Nugh where Addam gets 15% of Nugh's poetry book profits, but Addam's name stays off the credits. 
*Alicia Garrick: learned that the fiance who ghosted her 12 years ago, Algernon Jocelyn Jr., was made into a multi person flesh golem (Nugh). Alicia hadn't investigated his disappearance at the time because there was a rumor that his family had fled town to escape embezzlement and fraud charged and he'd been sent to debtor's prison, which she thought explained why he'd left her at the altar. She had moved on, and married someone else and had a kid, but now learning he'd died, she feels horrified. 
*Merryweather Jones: stole a book from Kasin Zadoc documenting Kasin's crimes that Merryweather intends to blackmail Kasin with in the future. 
*Erebus Altheim: told Mary that even though he wasn't her father by blood, he was her father in the here and now, and that he supported her. 
*Obsidianna la Caldere: tricked Mary into giving Obsidianna all of her magic while Obsidianna healed Martia who was in heart failure. Technically, Obsidianna did what was asked of her and more, even de-aging Martia a little, leaving Obsidianna's reputation in society impeccable, with everyone thinking she's a wunderkid prodigy. 
*Kerillly Brightflitter: thinks Bill is shiny and will invite him to her pixie land anytime. She gave him a magic flower he can contact her with, and can use to shrink size. 
*Kasin Zahdoc: tried to find an arranged marriage partner for his son Jesop, but Mary turned him down. Merryweather posed as Kasin's servant and stole a book of Kasin's crimes, intending to blackmail Kasin later. 
*Martia Carmichael: she learned her birth-dad was back and actually there were two of them and actually her long time family friend Kasin was responsible for their disappearance. Her failing heart was healed by Obsidianna (using Mary's magic), and Obsidianna even de-aged her a little. Martia gave her mother Zolta the contact information for the two men, but there's a fracture between her and Zidane after she learned he failed to save two of her descendants during his adventure in Karmic Hills. 
*Honda Domeki (Universe 2): came to this reality because in his reality, Zolta and Martia died. Honda wants to get back with Zolta, his wife, and reconnect with his daughter and grandchildren. 
*Zolta Carmichael: (mentioned, this is the elderly half elf Martia's mom, and Zidane's elf wife who hasn't aged since he disappeared 200 years ago). We learn that Zolta used to live in Hardingwood, and that Zolta's daughter Martia thought of Kasin (the person responsible for freezing Zolta's husband Zidane in time) as an old family friend of her mother's. At the end of Trauma Poetry, Martia said she's not a fan of her mom Zolta's boyfriend, so she's going to give Zolta the contact information for both Zidane and Honda Domeki.

==Plot Summary==
Zidane, Mary, Nugh, and Bill arrive at the manor of Kasin Zahdoc to attend a party. The intent of the party is to find a suitable marriage companion for Kasin's son Jessop (who is not in attendance). The four Kittens weave in and out of each other's stories, meeting new people and old acquaintances. 
At some point, Zidane and Honda Domeki both find Kasin alone and away from the party and confront him about his role in Zidane's past. Kasin jumps out a window and flees, with Zidane in hot pursuit. Bill creates a distraction to bring attention away from them, but he ends up being seen as a villain rather than a hero after being confronted by Crosby Jameson about his shenanigans at the Atrios Academy career fair, by Rictabio Bittercorn about his inability to stop a crook, and by Lady Elizabeth Featherbottom and Obsidianna la Caldere about being a bandit. Bill flees the scene with his acquaintance Kerilly Brightflitter. 
Meanwhile, Honda Domeki finds his aged daughter Martia Carmichael at the party and tells her he's her father in a different universe. Zidane soon finds them after losing Kasin and meets Martia for the first time. The revelation that her birth father exists causes Martia to have a heart attack. Mary sees Martia dying and begrudgingly asks Obsidianna to teach her to use her magic to save Martia's life. Onsidianna instead tells her to share her magic with her and she would save Martia. Mary agrees and Martia is saved, not only living but becoming years younger, and Obsidianna drains Mary of her magic. 
The aftermath of the party is varied. Nugh meets Alicia, the former fiance of the man whose face he wears. He also makes a poetry book deal with Addam Shelly. Bill gets a flower from Kerilly that makes him turn small. Zidane speaks with Honda and Martia in the hospital, where he unintentionally ruins his relationship with his daughter. Mary turns down a marriage offer to Jessop in order to pursue Obsidianna, with the support of her foster father Erebus. Merryweather finds Kasin's hit list and uses it to blackmail him.
