Revision as of 13:38, 23 April 2023

Originally known as Jenny Everton, one incarnation of Jenny Everywhere was native to the city of New Flaversham in the 38167th Universe.

She had many interactions with the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, even adopting one Clockwork Cherub, Pythagoras-858, as her travelling companion during the Rifts Crisis. Among many other partners, she eventually entered into a romantic relationship with Lord Thymon, leading to the birth of the first known incarnation of Sophie Everytime.

Description

Physical appearance

This Jenny was fairly short; she had brown skin, (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids, etc.) appearing Indian, (PROSE: The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere) and weighed around 150 pounds as an adult. (PROSE: Family Business)

As a young girl, she once wore a dark green one-piece swimsuit. (PROSE: Family Business) By the time she met Pythagoras-858, she had adopted a stable outfit consisting of a thick, dark red woolen scarf, a dark green parka with golden buttons, dark blue trousers, and yellow shoes (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids) made for her by a Leprechaun, which never wore out and protected her from tripping. (PROSE: The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere)

After she lost her shoes in the Black Sea, (PROSE: Family Business) she spent an adventure barefoot as she spitefully refused to wear anything short of a new pair of Leprechaun-made shoes. Over the course of this adventure, her outfit was petrified around her by the Secret League of the Orange-Bearded Gnomes in an effort to imprison her, forcing her to shift out of it; she quickly gathered a new outfit from a variety of clothing items supplied to her by the Knights of the Round Table, including using “three or four colourful standard” replacing the scarf, as well as sturdy flaw trousers, and “two layers of oversized tunics, plus chainmail”. She subsequently gave up on finding a new pair of magic shoes and resolved to buy a normal one. (PROSE: The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere) By the time she visited a younger Merlin, he described her as “dressed like a used clothing stall”. (PROSE: Close Encounter of the Bird Kind)

Personality

This version of Jenny was a consummate adventurer, ceaselessly shifting to new worlds and getting involved in new shenanigans. (PROSE: Close Encounter of the Bird Kind, The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere, etc.) However, she was also an Epicurian enjoyer of the little things in life, taking life one day at a time. (PROSE: Family Business) She was trusting and made friends quickly, dedicating herself to helping them, (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids) but was also capable of stubbornly holding grudges, including on behalf of other Jennies. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel) She had a high tolerance for pain. (PROSE: Family Business)

Though she did not show it often, the one sour note in her optimistic disposition was the guilt she harboured over the part she played in turning her sister into her corresponding incarnation of Jenny Nowhere in a misguided effort to stop Laura from being corrupted. (PROSE: Family Business) As for Laura herself, Jenny did not view their ongoing hero-villain rivalry as an obstacle to their ongoing relationship, (PROSE: Family Business, COMIC: Jenny Everywhere and the Master of Monsters) to a degree which sometimes confused Laura. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere and the Master of Monsters)

She had the typical liking of toast, which she ate buttered, and was something of a connoisseur in varieties of bread and butter. (PROSE: Family Business)

Though she ironically seemed to have little trouble with nudity in any other respect, save out of politeness, Jenny strongly disliked being seen without her scarf, (PROSE: Family Business, The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere) wearing it even at the beach (PROSE: Family Business) and covering her neck in modesty over more traditionally-private body-parts when she abruptly found herself unclothed in a public setting. (PROSE: The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere) Like many other Jennies, she was polyamorous and pansexual, pursuing relationships with many beings of various species and genders across the Multiverse. Until meeting the future version of Sophie Everytime, she had not given particular thought to having children, largely because she had dated few partners with whom this was biologically a possibility, but once she got over her surprise, she was not displeased with the prospect. (PROSE: Family Business)

Powers & abilities

This Jenny had good control of her shifting, displaying such a variety of applications as mentally shifting into other Jennies' bodies, (PROSE: Jenny Everywhere and the Lord of Hell) switching out objects for other objects, (PROSE: Family Business) physically transporting other people as she shifted, (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel) physically shifting while leaving her clothes behind, (PROSE: The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere) or conversely shifting clothing directly onto herself while scarcely paying attention. (PROSE: Family Business) Only the Rifts Crisis rendered her temporarily unable to “aim” properly as she shifted. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids) However, she did not have much experience with shifting through time, preferring to stay temporally linear and merely shifting in space — to the limited extent that- the distinction held meaning in the wider Multiverse. (PROSE: Family Business)

Biography

Early life

This Jenny originated in the mid-20th century (PROSE: Family Business) in the city of New Flaversham, Wintlevania in the 38167th Universe. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids) An orphan of unknown origins, she was placed in an orphanage where, at an early age, she befriended another, slightly older, blond-haired girl. The two were eventually adopted together by Molly Everton and her husband, with Jenny becoming “Jenny Everton”, with the two girls thus officially becoming sisters. (PROSE: Family Business) At some point, she met another girl her age, Laura Drake, who became her best friend. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere and the Master of Monsters, PROSE: Family Business) An old photograph from when Jenny's siter was twelve depicted the two at the beach, with Jenny wearing a dark green one-piece swimsuit and, incongruously, her scarf. (PROSE: Family Business)

Gaining her powers

In 1973, Jenny Everton, who was in first year of college, developed romantic feelings for Laura Drake. Because of the interdimensional significance of the relationship between a Jenny Everywhere and a Laura Drake, their first kiss triggered an “interdimensional gizmo” Laura had been developing, the gizmotronic proton equalizer. Over the following months, Jenny started to get visions of her other lives and occasional “shifting fits”, but couldn't quite get a handle on her powers. Intrigued, Laura built the Dimensional Consciousness Maximizer, a device which gave its user a mental connection to 999 of their closest counerparts in the Multiverse. This allowed Jenny to connect once and for all to the telepathic network of all Jennies.

However, Laura then decided to use it for herself. She soon became addicted to borrowing knowledge from those 999 counterparts of hers, until Jenny grew concerned that the immoral worldview of some of the alternative Lauras she was communing with might be corrupting her. Since Laura wouldn't take her advice to be careful, Jenny got the idea to redirect her curiosity by suggesting that she try the machine on other people from their life, to see what they were like in other universes. The first people they persuaded to try it was Jenny's sister, not realising that she was fated to become their universe's Jenny Nowhere. In an instant, she was connected to “the miasma of all the Nowheres of all the worlds”, the power of Nowhere erasing her old identity, even physical records of her former name. As she felt it crowding in on her, Nowhere begged Jenny to switch off the machine, but, to her later regret, Jenny didn't comply, as she believed Nowhere was merely experiencing a momentary disorientation as Jenny had herself right before the “saw the Infinite” and became Jenny Everywhere once and for all.

Subsequently, Nowhere became one of Jenny's nemeses. (PROSE: Family Business) Laura and Jenny also ended up becoming adversaries. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids) However, even then, Jenny continued to care about Laura, always getting her Christmas presents. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)

The two Jimmies

Jenny once dated a guy named Jimmy Wherever for “a couple of weeks”. However, Jenny Nowhere, hungry for vengeance, kidnapped him and grew a clone of him with time-shifting powers, Jimmy Anytime. She hypnotised Anytime to believe he was the real Jimmy, then sent him back in time to before the start of Jenny's relationship with Wherever, whom the clone murdered and replaced. Eventually, as Jenny and Jimmy had tracked Nowhere down to her current lair in “an abandoned canned tuna factory at the edge of town”, Nowhere switched off the hypnotic conditioning and ordered Anytime to kill Jenny. However, Anytime had developed real (if unreciprocated) feelings for Jenny over those weeks, which remained even after the hypnosis fell away. Refusing to turn on her, he instead punched Nowhere, causing her to fall into a fishbone-grinder. Anytime subsequently believed that he had killed her, although Jenny knew better. She let Jimmy down gently with regards to the possibility of a continued relationship, and remained friends with him despite the awkwardness of their situation. (PROSE: Family Business)

Helping Pristine

“A few years” before June 17th, 2022, Prime Universe time, Jenny met Pixie Pristine, a fairy who'd “gotten in some trouble with the faerie bigwigs” in one universe, with “some jerks want[ing] to take her voice away as payment for… something or other”. Jenny helped her give them the slip by finding her a new home in another nearby universe, where Jenny helped Pristine start a new career as a pop singer in the human realm, introducing her to “a few people”. Her career took off to a greater degree than Jenny had expected, with her becoming, by her own description, “the most successful pop-star in the world”, as well as an icon to other non-humans who existed in this world but, unlike Pristine, did not live openly. Along the way, Jenny and Pristine also started sleeping together, in a fairly casual way. Even after Jenny moved on to other adventures, she often dropped in on Pristine, somehow always seeming to appear just before Pristine was due to appear on-stage, to the pixie's amused frustration. (PROSE: Family Business)

Foiling Lord Grallyx

Jenny Everywhere once did some skydiving over the Cliffs of Karalesh in one universe. However, with her mind wandering, she ended up involuntarily shifting in the body of another of her selves, who was in the process of helping the local Laura Drake to summon a demon, Lord Grallyx.

After Grallyx predictably escaped Laura's control, Jenny grabbed onto him and shifted him rapidly through a host of other universes, ending up in the body of the local Jenny and retconning Grallyx into the fabric of her history, in the hope that she would eventually land in a universe where defeating Grallyx would be easier. In the end, the two ended up as living drawings in one universe, allowing Jenny to draw shift-preventing chains around Grallyx to prevent him from escaping.

She returned to the demon-summoning Laura's world, with Grallyx now imprisoned as a drawing inside Laura's demonology book, and agreed to help Laura study for her exams (as ensuring that she would pass her history exam was what Laura had summoned Grallyx for in the first place). (PROSE: Jenny Everywhere and the Lord of Hell)

Other solo adventures

Jenny once spent a holiday in Rio P’Brytje. She found it hard to relax there, not only because the place was mostly made up of crumbling bridges hanging over pits of lava, but also because the room service of the place where she was staying did not include toast on demand. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)

At some point, Jenny, trying to get to the Interdimensional Shopping Mall, instead found herself in a curious shop operated by Ms Amelia. Once they got past Amelia's initial surprise, the two became friends, and Jenny continued returning to the shop every year to shop for Christmas presents for her friends and — in some cases — foes. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)

Jenny once found herself on 1876 Earth in Dimension 77. She rescued the Lurigadawne of Tipperary, a “wily old Leprechaun”, from a “two-bit black magician” who'd trapped him in an iron cage, saving his life. As was the custom of the Fae, this granted her three wishes from the Leprechaun. She used the first one to get a pair of magic shoes from him, and decided to keep the other two in reserve for a rainy day. The shoes served her well, never wearing out and keeping her from every slipping or twisting her ankle. (PROSE: The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere)

During the Rifts Crisis

Jenny discovered that many versions of her were being lost, or losing their powers, due to the Rifts appearing throughout the multiverse as part of the Rifts Crisis. She investigated, and discovered than an organisation known as the Consistency Imperium seemed to be causing the Rifts to materialize everywhere they went. Even she soon lost control of her abilities, accidentally shifting into the Void itself.

Luckily, she found herself in the back of a Void Ship, specifically the Fog Ship of Pythagoras-858, a Clockwork Cherub of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids. They traded information about the Rifts, and Pythe agreed to give her a lift as they joined forces to find the home base of the Consistency Imperium and hopefully foil their reality-destroying plans. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids)

The two spent several months travelling together looking for the source of the Rifts. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel) During this period, Pythe mentioned the Home City to her on multiple occasions. She initially thought he was referring to the capital of the Cupid Homeworld until she realised that it was actually a city in the Prime Universe and the original home of the Creator. He also told her about the Company of Free Genies, whom he saw as kindred spirits due to the broad similarity between “Problem-Solving” and “Wish-Granting” as lines of work. (PROSE: The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere)

The pair's investigation into the source of the Rifts uncovered a number of suspects, including a “bull-guy” who had invented a Rift-making ray, a time-traveller with a bowtie, and a young space behemoth called Fyargathaaark865blububurgh$1gkzo who had been playing with xir dad's chemistry set. However, they noticed that all of these situations had righted themselves without their help; whether or not they were the starting point of the Rifts epidemic, they came to the conclusion that they were not the right point at which to attempt to influence the Crisis's development. Instead, the path to salvation was to find whoever had been accelerating the Rifts' spread from dimension to dimension.

As they were reaching this agreement, the two stopped at Hilbert's, the Interdimensional Hotel, to have dinner. There, Pythe helped Wendy VII revive the Queen of the Black Market, who had been poisoned by a Wellsian, Forga sog-Forgos. However, for fear of preventing a paradox (as he realised the Wellsian existed in his past), he was unable to foil the Wellsian's broader plan. During those same events, Pythe unwillingly parted ways with Jenny as she involuntarily shifted to parts unknown in a fit of temper upon running into Sylvester Shoebill (remembering her earlier encounter with him in another incarnation). (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel)

However, shortly after the wrap-up of the Rifts Crisis, Jenny was back in contact with the Crew. She submitted a review of her experience at Hilbert's to The Cupid Courier, giving it a 4/5 stars review. (PROSE: Rifts Crisis Officially Over!) Eager to “get back into the shifting groove”, she visited the Home City. (PROSE: The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere)

Travels with Juliet and Arganthone

Jenny in 1895 London. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)

Jenny decided to spend Christmas in the Victorian London of the Prime Universe. She was enjoying the Dickensian atmosphere of the snowy 1895 Baker Street when she bumped into a crashed Fog Ship housing Juliet-178 and Arganthone-056. After the three realised they had a friend in common in the person of Pythagoras-858, Jenny learned that Juliet and Arganthone had just returned from the new world of the Wellsians in a futile effort to get a Heat Ray with which to thaw Madame Tarsa out of the magical block of ice where she'd become trapped. Reasoning that Tarsa may have had some failsafe in place in her very home, Jenny offered to take Juliet and Arganthone back to the Workshop of Madame Tarsa using shifting, and, should this prove necessary, to continue helping them on their quest beyond that.

Indeed, she followed them into Madame Tarsa's Toybox, where she greatly enjoyed the atmosphere of the Christmas Toyland where they were advised to seek the “oldest toy in the Toymaker's Labyrinth” by the Frog Mayor of Wild West Town. When they met her, however, she was only able to show them the relevant rhyming clue left by Tarsa (which spoke of a “key” in a “distant star”), but not explain its meaning. The three travellers agreed to look for further clues in the forms of legends and myths which other civilisations in the Multiverse might have about Tarsa. They first, unsuccessfully tried the Euclidean Plane (where they engaged in a snowball fight with the Citadel's Octaser and Triangry guards) before heading to the Cupid Homeworld itself to check the Cupid Archives.

There, they introduced Jenny to Lord Thymon, with whom she got along quite well, (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker) subsequently keeping in touch with him via texts. (COMIC: A Shift in Relationships) They then headed to the Archives, where Bibliophile-962 helped them make their way to the relevant section, sneaking past the Mechanical Sphinx. They did not find anything directly related to Tarsa, but were inspired to go to New Subcinctus to see if any of the Consistency Imperium's records had survived the Imperium's fall. However, they did not find anything there which they did not already know, despite being granted an audience by Vertolin himself. They headed to the Interdimensional Tavern in defeat, hoping to simply ask around for relevant intel. They found none, but, reconsidering the rhyming riddle, Juliet realised that the key was actually hidden inside the Star Atop the Tree in the Christmas Toyland, rather than a literal star.

Going back to the Toyland, they conferred briefly with the Toy, who gave them climbing gear, and eventually made their way to the top of the tree with the help of a toy nutcracker called the General. The trio opened the Star, uncovering the magical mallet it contained, only to discover that tampering with the Star awakened the very literal Snap-Dragon that lived at the bottom of Snapdragon Lake. Nevertheless, the three soon defeated the creature through trickery and made their way out of the Toyland. The three agreed that Juliet, whose reputation back hom “needed the polish”, be the one to strike the ice, freeing Tarsa. After the appropriate thanks, Jenny invited herself to 221B Baker Street to attend the Christmas party of Sherlock Holmes, with whom Pythagoras had teamed up in the course of his own misadventures. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)

Meeting the Fishter

Some time later, this Jenny spent thirty days trekking through the Swamps of Cr’uuuu’uuuuu’uuuumph. Once this adventure was done, she was relieved to find herself in a peaceful, grassy field. However, this was in fact April Fools' Day and she was soon confronted with a member of the Faction of the Fooling Fish, posing as one of her counterparts, “the Fishter”, allegedly from a universe where fish were seen as the supreme lifeform.

Dodging the Fishter's attempt to trick her into the right place for a pie to be catapulted at her face, she instead took the impostor to a “Jenny meeting” at the Interdimensional Tavern, also attempted by the tall red-haired Jenny, the “musketeer” Jenny and an imp-like Jenny. After backing it into a corner with regards to its hollow lies, she then got the Fishter to drop its charade altogether and run away. Jenny then contacted Pythagoras-858 so that he could investigate the event and possibly have a strong word with the Fooling Fish heads. (PROSE: Multiversal Mischief)

Dating Comet Theta

At some point, Jenny began a relationship in one universe with Comet Theta, a sentient comet. They set a date in outer space, to which Theta was late and did not stay long, refusing to deviate from their orbit. Jenny was displeased with this. (COMIC: A Match Made in the Heavens)

Visit to D'Ismay Mansion

Jenny's Halloween costume. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere in the House of Terror)

When the Abstract of Illumination found himself unable to attend the Abstract of Terror's Halloween party at D'Ismay Mansion in one universe, the Jenny who was friends with the Illumination contacted this Jenny, asking her to drop in at the Mansion to wish the Terror a happy Halloween on behalf of his cousin. Jenny thus made her way to the moonlit house. She was excited to mean the butler and bouncer who answered the doorbell, “Reginald Redclaw, the Demon Majordomo”. At his request, she used shifting to shift herself into a more season-appropriate outfit before proceeding into the house.

In the ballroom, however, the crowds of spirits and demons immediately recognised her as a mortal, and things got off to a wrong start as they misinterpreted her comments to herself and believed she meant harm to the master of the house. Strach himself stripped her of her glamour, in answer to which she insisted that he reveal his true appearance. He tried to pass himself, in turn, as Dracula, Death and Lon Chaney, but each time Jenny recognised these as glamours, eventually forcing Strach to reveal his true self. She surprised him by telling him she did not want to press her advantage by exacting a boon from him, merely wanting to wish him a happy Halloween for Lit. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere in the House of Terror)

Christmas 2021

Jenny in Ms Amelia's shop in 2021. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)

In December 2021, Prime Universe time, Jenny visited Ms Amelia's shop, as had become her custom. She was already present when CS-NA also materialised in the shop, having set the coordinates of his Dematerialisation Engine to random. Jenny showed him the shop's many rooms, helping him on his quest to learn more about Christmas, so that he could plan the best party imaginable for the Cupids. He stumbled upon a purple hairband which she decided would make the perfect gift for Laura Drake.

Jenny was then called by one of her other selves to keep company to her sister Julie on Christmas Eve while she was called away on an “intergalactic diplomacy mission”. The two got on well, with Jenny confiding in this Julie about her difficult relationship with her version of Laura Drake, and agreeing to bake Julie her “Multiverse-famous cookies”. As they were busying themselves around the kitchen, however, the two received an invitation down the chimney which turned out to be from CS-NA, inviting Jenny to the Cupid Homeworld for the interdimensional Christmas party he'd organised. Jenny took Julie there. Adapting “surprisingly well” to the strange sights of the Homeworld, Julie watched with interest as Arganthone-056 gave a fencing demonstration using a peppermint stick. Jenny took the opportunity to get CS-NA, Pythagoras-858, Juliet-178, Arganthone-056 and Lord Thymon some presents. She ended up discussing “the ins and outs of shifting” with Thymon. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)

Acquaintance with Aziraphale

At some point, Jenny became acquainted with the Earth-bound angel Aziraphale, who owned a bookshop in London in one universe. On one of her visits, she spilled a cup of hot cocoa while perusing his first-edition Arthur Conan Doyle books, much to his ire and dismay. Eager to make up for her mistake, Jenny eventually decided to borrow the Librarian version of Sherlock Holmes from the Interdimensional Library, in the flesh, and bring him to Aziraphale. Although startled by the sudden and initially-unexplained appearance of the detective in his bookshop, Aziraphale was grateful for the gift, and offered both him and Jenny a cup of tea — but not, just to be safe, hot cocoa again. (PROSE: You've Been To Eden, I Perceive)

Rematch with Grallyx

On April Fools' Day, Lord Grallyx exploited the Rule of Funny to escape the demonology book in which Jenny had imprisoned him so long ago by editing his own page on the Jenny Everywhere Wiki. He then located Jenny, who had been participating in a pie-baking contest in one universe in the Ninety-Third Empire of Sagittarius. When he explained to her how he had escaped, she pulled out her own lap-top and edited back to his prison. In turn, Grallyx edited her page to trap her in the book with him. However, she escaped with relative ease by simply shifting out, with no further editing required. Raging, Grallyx vandalised the Wiki on a much greater scale, making himself out to be the main character instead of Jenny.

To further incapacitate her, he also edited her page to make her copyrighted (with him as the IP owner), leading to robots belonging to the Interdimensional Copyright Office arriving in a copyright-ship to sequester her. However, she managed to stun Grallyx long enough to edit herself back into the public domain. In an even greater feat of Wiki vandalism, he successfully edited the summary of every Jenny Everywhere story on the Wiki to be about him, cementing himself as the “supreme crosser-over of the Omniverse”. However, Jenny was unmoved, noting that by the very same fourth-wall-leaning principles he was exploiting, an April Fools' Day story simply couldn't alter the status quo of reality to this extent, and one way or another things would be back to normal the next day. (PROSE: The Wiki Adventures of Lord Grallyx)

Meeting the Beastmaster

This Jenny once took a trip to the Jungles of Hooloo in one universe. On this occasion, she forewent her parka for a sleeveless green vest worn ove rher cream shirt, and also added a green hat with a yellow felt ribbon to her apparel.

However, Laura Drake hired the Beastmaster to go make trouble for her, which she first encountered in the form of his Marsh-Maiden. However, Jenny made friends with the Marsh-Maiden, who did not attack her, forcing the Beastmaster to reveal himself. Using the shift-gun Laura had given him, he transported himself and Jenny to another world and tried to sic a Dragon on the Shifter, but she befriended it too. Finally he took them to the 12682621st Universe where a Sphinx in his service, Paisi Psusennes, was waiting. However, Jenny played on the Beastmaster's insecurity about whether “his” beasts actually liked him, then manipulated Paisi into breaking off her monster-and-master relationship with the Beastmaster, re-assessing him as a rival monster and chasing him into the distance. After destroying the shift-gun, Jenny shifted on her own power to Laura's building and confronted her about what she'd done. The conversation soon turned friendlier as they bonded over making fun of the Beastmaster, and, despite Laura's slight bemusement at Jenny not bearing her any kind of a grudge, Jenny managed to persuade Laura to go out for ice cream with her.

Subsequent events

Jenny, blushing slightly, reveals to Pythagoras-858 that she's now in a relationship with Thymon. (COMIC: A Shift in Relationships)

In June of 2022, Jenny attended the Pride part organised by Jenny Over-There and Dynamite Thor at Professor Helvetius's Convenient Pride Decorations Shop, along with many other incarnations of Jenny Everywhere. She also met Jenny Over-There herself on that occasion. (PROSE: Family Business)

Eventually, Jenny's long-distance friendship with Lord Thymon blossomed into an unexpected romance. One day, Jenny materialised in the Cupid Homeworld, surprising Pythagoras-858, and revealed to him that she was here to meet with Thymon, thereby breaking the news of their relationship to Pythe. (COMIC: A Shift in Relationships) They went on five subsequent dates. (PROSE: Family Business)

Meeting Sophie Everytime

On the seventh of their dates, Jenny and Thymon went on a “scenic jaunt” along the shore of the Chronon Sea. Returning to the Cupid Homeworld together, they had dinner for two in the Great Hall of Thymon's house. After the meal, they suggested, half in jest, that he take her up to his bedroom; though this was his first time engaging in such activities with a human, he agreed, to her surprise, and ended the day on that enjoyable note, falling asleep together in Thymon's bed.

The next morning, Jenny woke up later than Thymon, whom she found already preparing breakfast, having set aside star whale butter to go on her toast, to her delight. However, their breakfast plans were derailed by the appearance of a strange little girl with blue, tentacle-like hair and glowing eyes, who they quickly deduced was the daughter they'd conceived that very night, who'd shifted back in time to meet them. Dipping into the Infinite for a few minutes to talk privately, they agreed on a name, Sophie Everytime, and settled on a plan to take opportunity of this event to introduce the time-shifted child to their respective loved ones in advance.

With Sophie agreeing to the plan, the trio visited Jenny's comet partner from the 659433585786388480th Universe, Comet Theta. Next up was Thymon's sibling Squire Psykha, who was much less pleased with the news, harshly judging their brother for neglecting his duties as an Embodiment in favour of “cavorting with the flesh”, and refusing to recognise Sophie as family. At Sophie's suggestion, they then visited another one of Jenny's partners, Pixie Pristine, in another universe. After visiting her in her dressing room, they attended and greatly enjoyed the fae-turned-pop-star's concert.

As Sophie was getting tired, Jenny and Thymon agreed to only visit one more person — Thymon's sister Lady Spatium — before heading home for the night. However, their shift was highjacked by Jenny Nowhere, who transported them to Nowhere Island in the 9768761143th Universe; she drew Sophie apart from Thymon and Jenny, directly imprisoning the girl in her Castle of Nowhere in the centre of the island while Jenny and Thymon fell into the literal Black Sea that surrounded it. Jenny divested herself of her shoes in an effort not to sink, but quickly lost consciousness, and had to be carried to shore and revived by Thymon. Finding that their powers weren't working, the two set out into the gray forest ahead.

Eventually, they found another old friend, Jimmy Anytime, who'd been trapped for days in a pit mockingly signposted by a literal signpost reading ‘DROP IN ANYTIME’. Anytime informed them that Jenny Nowhere was behind this and joined them as they continued their quest. Further inland, they were confronted with a boiling lake concealing a huge, mechanical Lava Drake. Deducing that the inscription identifying the mechanoid as such must be a mocking riddle just like the ‘Anytime’ one, Jenny was able to climb onto the robot — though she sustained some burns which she relied on Thymon's burns to heal once it was downed — and alter the inscription to “Laura Drake”, causing the robot to deactivate itself and its chest-panel to slide open to revealed the trapped Laura Drake. Jenny freed her, and Laura explained that although she built the Lava Drake herself as the “Mark I Draconic Exosuit”, she wasn't in control during the preceding fight, with Nowhere having stolen and hacked the robot before intercepting one of Laura's “transport beams”, bringing her here, and trapping her inside the suit as a power source instead of a pilot.

After rejoining Jimmy and Thymon and introducing Thymon and Laura to one another, Jenny continued her journey, finding one final party-member, Jenny Over-There, tied to a tree with a signpost pointing in her direction, reading simply “OVER THERE”. Using her powers as the Finder, Over-There was able to confirm that Sophie was trapped in Nowhere's Castle and to point the group in the right direction. They found their way there, and, since the castle was at the top of a foreboding mountain, Thymon used his time-acceleration powers to level the mountain, turning it into so much dust. Though displeased by this development, Nowhere invited the heroes into her Great Hall before shifting chains onto the humans and trapping Thymon in a Prism. After going over her history at Over-There's insistence, she explained her plan to use a modified version of the Dimensional Consciousness Maximizer, now called the Identity Dispersal System, to forcibly connect Sophie to the deleterious telepathic networks of Jenny Nowheres, erasing her identity and turning her into just another Jenny Nowhere in revenge for the part Nowhere felt Jenny had played in turning her sister into Nowhere.

Nowhere activated the machine, but it did not work as expected due to Sophie's self-confidence, bolstered by her parents' love throughout the day, far exceeding Nowhere's angst-ridden strength of character. While Nowhere's mind took over Sophie's body, Sophie's own mind, instead of being erased, took possession of Nowhere's vacant one. Breaking down crying due to the combination of her failure and of this new body's immature brain chemistry, Nowhere-in-Sophie's-body agreed to switch back after Sophie volunteered the knowledge her original name back to her (having, in her past but the relative future, been told by Jenny and Thymon, who remembered these events, to travel back in meta-time to find it out). During her time in the Nowhere psychic network, Sophie had realised the reason that none of the adults' powers were working right on the Island: Nowhere Island was itself an incarnation of Jenny Nowhere, despite not really being sentient in a conventional sense, and her aura was cancelling out theirs. Thus, they realised that they simply had to build a boat and row out far enough from the shores.

After dropping Over-There, Jimmy and Laura home, Jenny and Thymon finally returned to the Cupid Homeworld with Sophie. Upset to have missed a day at the office, Thymon was shifted back in time to the morning by Sophie, who then hugged Jenny one more time before returning to her own time-zone. Jenny only dwelled on her bittersweetness at having to wait nine more months to see her again briefly, before her mind settled on a new adventure: replacing the shoes she'd lost in the Black Sea by going on a quest to find the Leprechaun who'd made her that pair in the first place again. (PROSE: Family Business)

Quest for the Lurigadawne

Jenny returned to Dimension 77 in search of the Lurigadawne of Tipperary. Materialising in the meadow where he reportedly made his home, she was seen appearing out of thin air by a local boy who assumed her to be a fairy herself. Playing alone, she asked him if she knew where the Lurigadawne was, but the boy reported that although this was indeed supposedly his meadow, the leprechaun himself hadn't been seen in ages. Granting him a “boon” of some gold pieces she'd brought for the Lurigadawne, she sent the boy on his way and spent a few hours looking for the magically-concealed entrance to the Lurigadawne's home. When she found it, she discovered to her dismay that the Lurigadawne wasn't in, having left his home in the care of a Scottish Brownie after leaving on mysterious business. She thanked the Brownie with another gold coin and left. Before she headed to her next destination, she decided to compromise between obvious necessity and her stubborn refusal to settle for any other shoes than Leprechaun-made ones by putting on a pair of thick, woolen socks.

She headed for the Home City in the Prime Universe and found the Company of Free Genies, purchasing a wish from the Genie at the desk with a magic wand. While in the Company's lobby, she also met a local ghost, the Mad Marquess. Jenny wished to know the Lurigadawne's location and to be transported there, and thus found herself flung to the Gnome Place. There, she was viewed by the Secret League of the Orange-Bearded Gnomes as a dangerous interloper and the Gnomes petrified her clothing around her to trap her in place. Her recognising the Nome King in the crowd based on the memories of another Jenny did not help matters, and neither did the sudden arrival of the sword-wielding Mad Marquess, teleported after her by the mischievous Genie.

Trying to escape the chaos, she shifted out of her clothes and directly to the top of the Round Table in another universe. There, the King, the Queen and the Knights put a new outfit together for her in record time. Her aim of getting hold fo an egg-laying hen from the royal chicken coops of King Arthur was made easier when she learned from Arthur that a future version of her had apparently visited a young version of Merlin to set this up, so that Merlin had kept the chicken coops “well-stocked” and quickly presented her with prize egg-layer Bethan.

Returning to the Gnome Place, she distracted the Lurigadawne, who'd been dueling the Marquess, causing the Marquess to successfully stab his opponent. However, the Marquess realised almost instantly, at Jenny's reaction, that he had done the wrong thing, and helped the Lurigadawne hang on while Jenny routed the Gnomes via the threat of Bethan's mythically-potent eggs, which were enough to send even the Nome King fleeing. She then sent the Marquess back to his home universe and finally talked with the Lurigadawne, who revealed, much to her dismay, that Gnomes were forbidden to grant the same wish twice, so that he really couldn't make her a new pair of shoes. Giving up on magical footwear, she decided to end her quest there and head to a truly random universe with no particular goal in mind, and visit an ordinary shoe shop when next she had the chance. (PROSE: The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere)

Some time later, she tried to shift back to meet the younger version of Merlin and pay him back in the form of a basket containing three chickens. She gave him a few hints about his future before leaving again. (PROSE: Close Encounter of the Bird Kind)
