Extradimensional Experiments (short story)
Extradimensional Experiments was a story by Lupan Evezan released for Jenny Everywhere Day 2022.
Plot
In her dorm room aboard the orbiting space station, Laura Drake is frustrated by her failed inventions when Jenny drops by.
After talking briefly Jenny summons a flower into her hand and admits she’s discovered how to make things appear. After repeating the trick several times and trying to understand they decide they need more information and go to the library to use old lab equipment. After experimentation Laura conjectures that Jenny is calling in objects from parallel dimensions.
While trying to verify this one of the experiments works too well and calls in a shapeless mass of shadow that destroys some equipment and escapes from the lab.
Trying to send it back, Jenny instead calls up an adventurer who identifies herself as Gwenivar, Wanderer in Everywhere, wielder of the magical sword Worldbridger.
Making some quick plans and catching up with the Creeping Shadow, Gwenivar confronts the monster as Laura tries one invention after another and finally disperses it to soap bubbles.
Gwenivar departs for her home world, leaving the schoolgirls to ponder their unexpected partnership. As they talk and contemplate other universes, Jenny suddenly disappears into thin air – only to reappear a moment later and confirm that they have a new situation to examine.
