The Infinite

From Jenny Everywhere Wiki

The Infinite” was an interdimensional place located between universes which, typically, only Jenny Everywhere was able to access through shifting

Description

The Infinite was a “bridge-reality” or “bridge-universe”, (PROSE: The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere) a “place between realities” which served as “sort of a home” for Jenny Everywhere (COMIC: The Mind of Jenny Everywhere) with an endless starry night sky and a simple, smooth, black floor. (COMIC: The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles, etc.) Each star represented a universe. (COMIC: The Mind of Jenny Everywhere) It also had a Moon, whose significance was unclear. (COMIC: Rail Shift)

It had a connection to Jenny Everywhere's shifting powers; one way for her to shift was to pass through the Infinite, (COMIC: The Beginner's Guide to Multiversal Theory, The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles) which she would usually find filled with a crowd of her other selves. Most were only passing through, but some resided there permanently, performing “various tasks”; (COMIC: The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles) indeed, there existed an entire “culture” of Jennies within the Infinite. (COMIC: The Mind of Jenny Everywhere) Jenny could also mentally tap into the Infinite to view potential events, without physically going there. (COMIC: Governing Council) To shift to the Infinite, Jenny needed simply to concentrate on “the thought of the stars of the Infinite” and “the beckoning minds of her other selves calling her to them”. (PROSE: The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere)

Only Jenny Everywhere could travel to the Infinite; it was normally impossible for other shifters to enter it. However, while desperately looking for Jenny after she disappeared from all of reality without explanation, Jenny Anywhere and Hakhe combined their skill at modulating shifting with Laura Drake's bond with Jenny and Jenny Somewhere's genetic kinship with Jenny, and managed to force a shift into the Infinite. Michael Wherever and the Illumination also managed to fly the Wilson into the Infinite by “connect[ing him]self, a cache of Jenny’s genetic makeup, and a ludicrous amount of power to the ship’s computers”. (PROSE: The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere) Peter Griffin was also able to travel the Infinite by instigating a cutaway gag. (COMIC: Peter's Pursuit)

History

 
Jenny passing through the Infinite. (COMIC: The Beginner's Guide to Multiversal Theory)

A version of Jenny was once seen shifting through the Infinite as an example used by Doctor Sigma during a talk on common methods of Multiversal travel. (COMIC: The Beginner's Guide to Multiversal Theory)

After opening a Christmas present from Peter Griffin, which contained a note telling her to stop living at 31 Spooner Street, (COMIC: Jenny's Christmas Surprise) Lois Griffin managed to get Peter to see his error and to apologise to Jenny, he used a cutaway gag to travel to where Jenny was ― the Infinite.

While considering where to shift to next, (COMIC: Peter's Pursuit) she turned in surprise to Peter, as nobody but a Jenny Everywhere should be able to travel there. Jenny told Peter she was heeding his words and Peter didn't try to convince her to return, merely wanting to apologise. She stood in shock as Peter returned to his universe. At this time, another Jenny Everywhere was walking through the Infinite. (COMIC: A Not-Too-Fond Farewell)

Behind the scenes

As he noted in a convention panel, Benj Christensen did not initially mean for the Infinite to be an open-source concept. However, he was surprised but happy to see other people start to use it, seemingly under the assumption that it was part of the Jenny Everywhere “package”, and eventually released it into the public domain to join Jenny herself.[SOURCE NEEDED]

The Infinite: A place between realities; Perpetual night; Sort of a home for Jenny; The stars are different universes; A culture of Jennys live there.
