The Strange and Wonderful House, often referred to as simply the House, and also called the Infinite House or the Mansion, was a living house of mysterious origins whose interior encompassed an infinite number of rooms, many of them strange or supernatural. Jenny Everywhere was friends with the Architect of the House, and had an unusually good ending of the nature of the House, which she visited in many incarnations, up to and including the day House's eventual destruction.

Description

Nature

The House was infinite (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: Welcome!) and home to many portals to and from other dimensions than the one where its original exterior happened to be located. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House)

The Courtyard

The Courtyard was an area in front of the wrought gates that properly led into the estate, but which was still part of the House in some sense. It was “fragrant”, and the air was filled with “softly surrsurring willows and languid will-o'-wisps”. It was always night inside the Courtyard, the sky filled with “alien stars”. There were chimes, always ringing softly in the playful wind.

The gates themselves, although they appeared at first glance to be made of glowing golden metal, were actually made of clear tubing within which luminous insects milled about for an indiscernible purpose. The gates could open of their own accord to let in a visitor. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Courtyard)

History

At some point, an individual prepared an empty blueprint marked with infinite dimensions and gathered other creative minds to help create rooms for the “strange and wonderful house” they intended to build. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: Welcome!)
