One version of Jenny was “very French” and went by the name of Jeanne Partout. After being ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'') of the versions of Jenny summoned by [[Universe F (Paying It Forward)|one world]]'s [[#Confrontation at Elysium Park|Jenny]] to help spook a [[Sandy-haired man (Paying It Forward)|sandy-haired man]] who'd gotten on the bad side of the local Jenny and apparently did not believe her claims of being a multi-dimensional entity, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'') she later joined the afterparty in [[Universe G (Paying It Forward)|another universe]] with twenty or so other Jennies. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'', ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'') She bickered at length with [[#Jenny Cornelius|Jenny Cornelius]], a version of Jenny who was as emphatically English as Jeanne was French, with [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|the “Kim's friend” Jenny]] doing what she could to keep the level of acrimony subdued.

===Kim's friend=== | === Between Byzantium, Constantinople and Istanbul === | ||
One Jenny was a sea-farer who somehow traded cargo ''between'' [[Byzantium]], [[Constantinople]] and [[Istanbul]], with enough ocean between them that she could enjoy days-long sailing trips in-between each stop. She privately reflected that it was not the profit of the trading that drew her to this line of work, but her love of the sea. [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|The “Kim's friend” Jenny]] got a glimpse of this Jenny's life when she suffered from [[shifter hangover]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'') | |||
=== Building a mill ==== | |||
A Jenny for whom access to good was a problem spent a long time working, alongside several other people, on building a mill so that they can make themselves bread. When she got [[shifter hangover]], [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|the “Kim's friend” Jenny]] got a glimpse of this Jenny's thoughts at a point when she and her friends had ''just'' gotten it working at last. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'') | |||
=== Growing up in Pennsylvania === | |||
One Jenny “grew up on a farm in [[Pennsylvania]]” with “[[Amelia Earhart|her mother]]'s biplane hidden behind the barn”. When she got [[shifter hangover]], [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|the “Kim's friend” Jenny]] experienced some memories of this childhood that wasn't hers, deeming them “wonderful”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'') | |||
=== Cloning factory === | |||
When she got [[shifter hangover]], [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|the “Kim's friend” Jenny]] got a glimpse of the life of a Jenny who had outlived her universe and was busy reconverting an old space-ship into a cloning factory to make new Jennies to seed across [[the Multiverse]]. She was unsure of the purpose of this operation, finding its industrial nature off-putting. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'') | |||
=== Kim's friend === | |||
[[Universe (Parallax)|One world]]'s incarnation of Jenny lived in a relatively normal universe, although one which was home to some supervillains, [[vampire]]s and other such threats. | [[Universe (Parallax)|One world]]'s incarnation of Jenny lived in a relatively normal universe, although one which was home to some supervillains, [[vampire]]s and other such threats. | ||

At some point, Jenny and Kim learned of the location of the “mystic” [[Spear of Longinus]], or possibly acquired it themselves. By the time of Jenny's involvement in the [[Jiujinshan anime con]], it was safely locked away somewhere other than Jenny and Kim's apartment.

====Meeting Jenny Nowhere==== | ==== Meeting Jenny Nowhere ==== | ||
Jenny, [[Kim (Parallax)|Kim]] and three male friends of theirs once partied a bar together. However, a version of [[Jenny Nowhere#Killed by a dinosaur|Jenny Nowhere]], whom this Jenny had never encountered in any form, slipped something in her beer which forced her and Kim to rush to the bathroom, where Nowhere confronted them. She revealed herself as originally a version of Jenny Everywhere who had become disconnected from the wider telepathic network. To Everywhere's horror, she viewed it as a liberation which she planned to “share” with her, willing or not. | Jenny, [[Kim (Parallax)|Kim]] and three male friends of theirs once partied a bar together.

However, Nowhere had not counted with Kim's special abilities, which meant her tranquiliser drug had no effect on Jenny's friend. Forced to flee through [[shift]]ing, Nowhere was pursued by Everywhere through several landscapes. Realising sunlight was Kim's weakness and Kim was Jenny's, Nowhere shifted to the Giza desert at high noon, forcing Everywhere to shift Kim somewhere shady instead of continuing to try to capture Nowhere. However, Nowhere did not keep the upper hand for long; foolishly choosing to pursue Everywhere in turn to the cool jungle she had chosen as the place to take Kim, she realised too late that it was a ''prehistoric'' jungle and was mauled to death by a dinosaur. Kim later examined her body, finding the surgical scar above her left ear which revealed she was ''not'' the original Jenny Nowhere. Shaken by these revelations, Jenny Everywhere and Kim agreed to go back home for another drink — with no music.

====Ulysses Dumas and the Eye of Tripoli==== | ==== Ulysses Dumas and the Eye of Tripoli ==== | ||
The year after the defeat of [[the Vampire King]], Jenny had to “stay up until dawn” to save the Internet from the [[Eye of Tripoli]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Camera Shy (short story)|Camera Shy]]'', ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'') The next morning, she was woken up by a phone callf rom [[Ulysses Dumas]], the musician she'd saved from the Vampire King, who said he had an “unusual” problem which he hoped she could help him deal with. She arranged to meet him the following night at the [[Faux Fur End]]. There, she learned from Dumas that he had been turned into a [[vampire]] himself; although he had mostly made his peace with it, he wondered how he could continue his musical career when cameras could often not detect him (due to vampires' invisibility in mirrors). Before she could think of a solution, she was called away on another adventurer: it was “raining frogs at the mosque again”. She arranged to meet Dumas again a few days later, and, this time, brought [[Kim (Parallax)|Kim]], who was able to offer a solution to his problem.

At some later point, Jenny foiled thirteen-year-old supervillain [[Professor Awesome]]. Shortly after this, she [[shift]]ed to [[Universe A (Paying It Forward)|the universe]] of [[Cha Ni]] and visited the [[Temple of the Oracle]]. She exchanged some words with the Oracle herself before collecting a list from her. It was a list of other Jennies leading more difficult lives whom this Jenny could go help. Her first destination was the Eurasian steppes of [[Universe B (Paying It Forward)|one universe]], where she found a [[#Stunt pilot|pilot Jenny]] who had downed her [[Everywhere Explorer|aeroplane]] and gave her the spare part she needed to get off the ground again. The pilot Jenny, in thanks, offered to fly her to her next destination. | At some later point, Jenny foiled thirteen-year-old supervillain [[Professor Awesome]].

Visiting a [[Universe (Name's Not Down)|very familiar universe]], she helped avert a fire on the pier of [[Right-On By The Sea|the city]], but very nearly evaded notice by the locals (not wanting to cause a fuss by being seen in the same place as her local counterpart). She then ironically headed to [[Universe F (Paying It Forward)|a world]] with exactly opposite requirements, as [[#Confrontation at Elysium Park|her local counterpart]] had summoned dozens of other Jennies to prove a point to a [[sandy-haired man (Paying It Forward)|sandy-haired man]] who'd caused her offence in unspecified ways. Hitching a ride on the bike of the [[#Biker Jenny|“biker” Jenny]] alongside a [[#Shih tzu Jenny|shih tzu Jenny]], she was present at the confrontation between this world's proper Jenny and the sandy-haired man at [[Elysium Park]]. | Visiting a [[Universe (Name's Not Down)|very familiar universe]], she helped avert a fire on the pier of [[Right-On By The Sea|the city]], but very nearly evaded notice by the locals (not wanting to cause a fuss by being seen in the same place as her local counterpart).

She was then invited by the biker Jenny to the “afterparty” alongside a few dozen other Jennies, in [[Universe G (Paying It Forward)|another universe]]. She appreciated the chance to take literal “me time” and hang out with her very diverse other selves, who included a [[#Priest Jenny|priest Jenny]] and a [[#Silver jumpsuit Jenny|Jenny in a futuristic jumpsuit]], and even a male incarnation going by [[#Jerry at the afterparty|Jerry]].

==== Shifter hangover ==== | |||
On the morning following her “self-helping” adventure, Jenny woke up with [[shifter hangover]] due to having overexerted her powers. She phoned her publisher, [[Stone]], to warn her editor [[Haroun the Thrice Cursed|Haroun]] that she might not be at her best in the coming days, though she confirmed that she had sent him one more review, of a band called ''[[Coelacanths and Possums]]''. Haroun asked her to also give his regards to her neighbour [[David Lowe|David]], and she complied, taking the opportunity to double-check some of the memories she was suddenly being flooded with against David's own recollections, helping her sort through which were hers and which were bleeding over from other worlds. She also bumped into [[Thoth (Morning After)|Thoth]], who warned her that [[Professor Awesome]] was “doing mad science again” and might need checking in with.
