The Showdown was a short Jenny Everywhere prose story by Mattkind, released for Jenny Everywhere Day 2021. It featured the multiversal Heroines Guild, and was fairly NSFW.
Contents
Plot
On behalf of the Heroines Guild, Jenny Everywhere travels to the ghost town of Showdown, on Planet 19-1-14-4, a favoured hideaway of the famous outlaw Amber Kelly and her gang of smartly-dressed female robbers, the Fashionistas. After Jenny and Amber come face to face, Amber challenges Jenny to a duel, but proves far slower than Jenny. Instead of shooting to kill or wound, Jenny is so precise that she uses a series of strategically-aimed shots to ruin Kelly's outfit, and thereby her composure and concentration, before forcing her backwards into a horse-trough and shooting down an old sign hanging over it, which falls down on Kelly's head, knocking her out. When the outlaw comes to, Jenny has tied her onto her horse, still in the same embarrassing state of undress, and the two are on their way to the nearest Guild outpost, apparently twelve miles, or five towns, away.
Worldbuilding
Jenny Everywhere
- Jenny Everywhere appears as the incarnation previously seen in Jenny Everywhere Visits the Heroines Guild, with “olive skin” and hair in a pixie cut. On top of the obligatory goggles and scarf, she wears a Spinal Tap T-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and pink combat boots, as well as, befitting the “Wild West in space” setting, “a gun belt with a small six-shooter”.
Universes
- The story takes place in an unidentified universe where Wild West-style towns, complete with colourful outlaws, exist on an alien planet known as Planet 19-1-14-4.
Continuity
- The same incarnation of Jenny in Mattkind's Jenny Everywhere Day story for the previous year, PROSE: Jenny Everywhere Visits the Heroines Guild.
