Plot
Arc 1
Chapter 1: The Witches of the Candy Forest
Jenny Everywhere has travelled to Reality B-89 54-Z and is preparing to enter the allegedly-haunted Candy Forest in search of a legendary witch called Grandmother Ginger. She spots a colourful shack on the edge of the forest and knocks at the door. The old woman who greets her, Old Mother Westwind, explains that this shack did in fact use to be Ginger's residence, but Ginger has now fled deeper into the Forest. Confirming that she is also a witch, Westwind agrees to join Jenny in looking for her.
Chapter 2: The Spider
Jenny Everywhere and Old Mother Westwind have been travelling through the Candy Forest for three days when Westwind, tired of eating nothing but sweets, decides to go hunting, having heard the yelps of some animal in the distance. While she's away, Jenny waits under a tree, daydreaming about what led her to this adventure. However, she hears sounds of a struggle between Westwind and a monster and rushes to help. She finds Westwind lying on her back with what appears to be a claw embedded in her chest — and a giant spider with purple stripes standing over her. Jenny attacks the spider, shifting a bucket of water into its mouth and kicking it; but instead of fighting back, the spider talks, and shapeshifts back into a spindly old woman in a striped purple dress — none other than Grandmother Ginger. When Ginger addresses her as her niece, Jenny finds the memories of her local incarnation flooding back to her, albeit in disorder, but she has little time to dwell on this new information when the real attacker makes his presence known, refusing to give his name.
Chapter 3: The Old Man of the Marshmallow
As she comes face to face with the Old Man of the Marshmallow, a hooded, ghostly figure, Jenny Everywhere feels a rush of the memories of her other self's memories, remembering more about her life and what Ginger told her about the Old Man — who is an undead version of a centuries-old, powerful witch, who leeched life-force from the living and plagued Sucria for hundreds of years and was eventually trapped by magic inside a single marshmallow which was buried beneath the Marsh Mallow. She interrupts his evil monologue to ask him how he escaped from that marshmallow in the first place, with him merely replying that he learnt a new spell.
He also reveals that he killed this world's Jenny days ago, much to Ginger's distress, although, not suspecting the existence of multiple Jennies, he thinks he was wrong and the Jenny he is now talking to is the same girl, having somehow survived. Taking off his cloak, he shifts back into his monstrous worm-like battle-form, but before he can harm Jenny, Ginger leaps at him. As she does so, she adopts a yet more monstrous form, a giant flying eel with a sharp, prehensile tongue, called a Black Nettle. They seem evenly-matched until Westwind, tearing the fang from her chest, joins the fight, sending a gale to blast into the Old Man. Though he tries to stoke the feud between the two witches, they refuse to break their alliance and continue fighting him in tandem.
