For a long time now, [[Jenny Everywhere | For a long time now, [[Jenny Everywhere (Parallax Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]] has been indiscriminately stuffing items brought back from interdimensional jaunts into her closet. When one of the items within it — a [[mammoth]]-fur coat — gets wet and begins to stink up the apartment, [[Kim (Parallax Universe)|Kim]] finally browbeats Jenny into helping her to go through the closet's contents to sort them out. They include an [[amnesia orb]] which causes them quite a bit of trouble as it keeps erasing itself from their memories and getting lost again, until Kim finally thinks to wrap it inside an old shirt and stuff it into a box before they let it out of their sights again. Eventually, they locate the mammoth-fur coat and, “with great relief”, consign it to the dry cleaner. | ||

* [[Jenny Everywhere | * [[Jenny Everywhere (Parallax Universe)|The Jenny]] featured in this story is the default incarnation of [[Scott Sanford's Jenny Everywhere stories]]. Her closet contains paraphernalia belonging to other Jennies, including ''[[The World is Toast]]'', a book which she specifies was written by [[Jenny Everywhere#Writing The World is Toast|another Jenny]]. | ||

* The story takes place in [[Universe | * The story takes place in [[Parallax Universe|the default universe]] of [[Scott Sanford's Jenny Everywhere stories]]. A [[The Bible|Bible]] is described as a “leather-bound [[King Charles Version]] with only six gospels, omitting [[Bartholomew]]”, in a manner strongly suggesting that it is normal for this universe rather than one of Jenny's interdimensional aberrations — giving some clue as to the minor divergences between this universe and real-world history. | ||
