An idea just came to me like a brick flying into my face (without the immense pain that a flying brick would cause upon impact with the front of my skull):

Combine this idea with the currently incomplete Dream House scenario.

Making it a three-part story, we begin when "Uncle" Arbiter travels through Avalon, and while he stays there for a few days, he brings his student Karma along, allowing her the chance to meet Sangria. (Note here: I am thinking of completely removing the plot element where Arbiter keeps the information that he is Karma's father secret, because really, what is the point of that? I think I had a vague reason at first. Only problem is, that secret has been mentioned several times in several stories, and it would be difficult to do a purge.)

Act 1 focuses on their initial meeting and their quick mistrust of each other, which grows into open dislike. The girls try to keep this open dislike hidden from Arbiter and Equis (whom they both respect). Suddenly, Murk talks about a manor that he mysteriously "bought" to the girls (squatting actually, as Sangria suspects)- Sangria goes to investigate, and Karma, out of curiosity, tags along- the trio sneaks out beneath Arbiter's and Equis' noses and goes to Earth.

Act 2 focuses on whatever happens inside the manor. Whatever challenges come their way must force the two girls to work together, where they begin to reconcile their differences. Meanwhile, Arbiter and Equis, perturbed by the disappearance of the girls and Murk, begin panicking, arguing, and blaming each other, sparking their old distrust of each other (almost mirroring the girls' initial distrust, maybe)- perhaps also serving as brief comic relief. After the trio fights their way out, the manor triggers something within Sangria, and she falls ill soon after they escape.

Act 3 focuses on Sangria's illness, caused by Crimson, and in order to save Sangria's life before returning to Avalon, the two girls must learn to trust each other to fight off the parasite (I imagine that Crimson would be fought on an astral-plane, so Sangria won't spend the entire story out cold.) In the end, Crimson is defeated and the trio make it back to Avalon, where they find Arbiter and Equis nearly at blows. Hugs, reconciliations, happily-ever-rest of the day.

...anyway, just an idea. Would it work?
