Plot

Part 1

Shortly after her defeat of Professor Awesome, Jenny Everywhere leaves her apartment to shift to the Temple of the Oracle Cha Ni. After exchanging a few wise words with the elderly visionary, Cha-Ni guesses that Jenny is here because she wants to help other versions of her whose lives are not as easy as hers. Cha-Ni agrees and gives her a list.

Worldbuilding

Jenny Everywhere

• The story's main Jenny is the version previously seen in Parallax and Camera Shy.
• It is suggested that the oracle Cha Ni is also a version of the Shifter. She described as “about [Jenny's] height, with long silver hair”, wearing “a layered white robe and, of course, a long stole and a blindfold over her eyes”.

Universes

• The story's main Jenny lives in one universe. She visits another one which is home to the Temple of the Oracle.

Other

• Jenny once saved “her world's computer inter-network” in something to which she refers as “the Eye of Tripoli thing” and got banned from Shangri-La for “putting the ram in the Rama Llama’s ding-dong”. She insists that she only had good intentions.

Continuity

• Cha Ni reminds Jenny of how she “fought [her] mirror self to her death”, referring this Jenny's first encounter with a Jenny Nowhere, in PROSE: Parallax.
