A short time later, while on his way out to get some lunch for himself and Jenny, Thor found himself face-to-face with a visitor, something the M.F.S. got excessively few of. He was [[the Man in Gray]], a counterpart of [[the Man in Grey (925th Universe)|the Man in Grey]] from a [[Universe 925-B|nearby universe]] who wanted to discuss the Man in Grey's lack of a [[Talisman of Restriction]] with him. Thor was oblivious to the difference between them, unlike Jenny, who informed the visitor that the Man in Grey was out. Telling her to inform the Man in Grey that he would return, the Man in Gray left with no further fuss.

=== Meeting Bunny Everyhare === | |||
On an ordinary, boring day, while scrolling through her smartphone looking for some games to while away her working hours, after getting a fairly ordinary call from [[Nyarlathotep (Who Laws the Lawyers?)|a version]] of [[Nyarlathotep]], Jenny got a call from a [[Bonham (Who Laws the Lawyers?)|gravelly-voiced villain]] asking for the location of [[Benito]], of ''[[Super Benito Siblings]]'' fame. She was baffled when she realised that her powers weren't working on either Benito or the caller, and went to [[The Man in Grey (925th Universe)|the Man in Grey]] for advice. He helped her to realise that the figure who'd called her seemed to be actor [[Dwight White]]'s version of the ''Super Benito Siblings'' villain [[Bonham]]; at his suggestion, she accepted another call, this one from Nyarlathotep's quarry [[Dwain Carter]], and indeed found that she was still able to inform ''him'' of the location of what he wanted (that “damn fourth [[Shining Trapezohedron]]”), meaning the problem was exclusive to “Bonham” and related figures, as confirmed upon getting a second, angrier call for Bonham, at whom she hangs up again. | |||
Next and most startling of all is a prank call from a squeaky-voiced individual asking for her own location right before jumping in through the window as soon as Jenny announces that this is where she is. The caller, who looked conspicuously like a cartoon-rabbit version of [[Jenny Everywhere (925th Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]], promptly introduced herself as [[Bunny Everyhare (Who Laws the Lawyers?)|Bunny Everyhare]], a being from [[the Null]], and explained that the “Bonham” who proceeded to blow open the doors of the [[M.F.S. office]] was in fact a manifestation of her archnemesis and fellow [[Null-entity]], [[Bunny Nullhare]], though he was not fully aware of it. As a cartoonishly destructive battle began with Bonham on one side, and Bunny Everyhare and [[Dynamite Thor]] on the other, Jenny and the Man in Grey found themselves unwilling to gamble on which of “Bonham loses to a small bunny-girl with a big mallet” or “the alleged third-most-powerful-being-in-the-Multiverse loses to an unimpressive cartoon villain” would be considered funnier by Bunny's carton-physics-based powers. Brainstorming alternatives, they realised that as Bonham's canonical archnemesis Benito was a copyright lawyer, and Bonham-the-character was copyrighted fiction in this universe, it made narrative sense for them to call [[Kyujudo]]'s copyright lawyers on them for a metafictional, comedic anticlimax. Kyujudo summoned a phalanx of the interdimensional [[Legalmen Collective]], who managed to subdue Bonham, after which Bunny helped him fade back into nonexistence, returning to the Null herself in the process. | |||
With the matter clearly resolved, Jenny returned to her ordinary duties, getting another phone call — again from Nyarlathotep, though now in a different avatar which looked conspicuously like another Bunny Nullhare — just in time to inform him, but only with [[Yog-Sothoth (Who Laws the Lawyers?)|Yog-Sothoth]]'s express permission, that Dwain and [[Karolyn Carter]] were now safe in [[Kadath]].
