Jenny Everywhere: Difference between revisions

This Jenny later joined a number of other Jennies in [[Universe F (Paying It Forward)|one universe]] to spook a [[sandy-haired man (Paying It Forward)|sandy-haired man]] who'd gotten on the bad side of [[Jenny Everywhere#Confrontation at Elysium Park|the local Jenny]] and apparently did not believe her claims of being a multi-dimensional entity. She gave a ride on her bike to [[ (Parallax Universe)|another human Jenny]] and a [[#Shih tzu Jenny|shih tzu Jenny]], all the way to [[Elysium Park]]. She then joined the afterparty in [[Universe G (Paying It Forward)|another universe]] with twenty or so other Jennies, and had a brief chat with the aforementioned human Jenny about whether “9/13” had happened in this universe or in her own, as well as about their respective guesses as to what precisely the sandy-haired man had done. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'')

One incarnation of Jenny was known as “Cha Ni”. She lived into old age, and became an oracle, living in the [[Temple of the Oracle]] in [[Universe A (Paying It Forward)|one universe]]. There, she appeared as a woman “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”. Her resemblance to a normal Jenny Everywhere was stronger when she smiled or laughed. Though “retired” from adventuring herself, Cha Ni often received visits from other, younger incarnations of the Shifter, who sought advice from her. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'') She also sometimes visited [[the Restaurant]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Second Date (short story)|Second Date]]'') On the occasion of [[ (Parallax Universe)|one particular Jenny]]'s first visit to the Temple, she gave her younger counterpart a list of yet other Jennies who may need active help. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'')

One Jenny was an [[Amelia Earhart]]-esque aviatrix who flew an [[Everywhere Explorer]] especially modified so that she could also fly it across dimensions. She once had to make an emergency landing in the middle of the empty Eurasian steppes of [[Universe B (Paying It Forward)|one universe]]. There, she unsuccessfully tried to repair her engines, finding that she was missing a key piece; this very piece was brought to her by [[ (Parallax Universe)|another Jenny]] who had been sent by [[#Cha Ni|Cha Ni]]. In thanks, the pilot Jenny offered to fly her to her next destination. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'')

Janni once slew [[Jamek Tagilono]], the Nameless Lurker in the Shadows. She later set out on a quest to acquire “the wisdom of the tiger, a wheel of numbers, and an owl made of lightning”. She encountered [[ (Parallax Universe)|another incarnation of Jenny]] in the middle of the wilderness, who had been sent by [[Cha Ni]] to help Janni on her quest. The other Jenny had a flight computer from an [[Everywhere Explorer]], which Janni recognised as the “wheel of numbers” she sought. Insisting that simply accepting the gift would not be fitting for a quest such as hers, she insisted on a wager between her and the other Jenny; if Janni won she would get the wheel of numbers, while if the other Jenny won, she would get Janni's spear, the very one which had slain Jamek Tagilono. With arm-wrestling as the chosen mode of contest, it was an easy victory for Janni who bade her other self goodbye and continued on with her quest.

At some point, the bottle in which she was imprisoned was acquired by a museum which obliviously placed it, alongside other similar but non-magical antiques, in a glass case. [[#Cha Ni|Cha Ni]] sent a [[ (Parallax Universe)|different Jenny Everywhere]] to the museum to free their counterpart; breaking the glass, the other Jenny then unstoppered the bottle, allowing ‘Genie Everywhere’ to begin spilling out of the bottle as smoke. The smoke was only beginning to turn back into a human form when the other Jenny made her escape, though she already had enough of a distinct shape to give thankful thumbs-up to her rescuer. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'')

She was once trapped in a tower, threatened by a [[Baron (Paying It Forward)|Baron]]. [[#Cha Ni|Cha Ni]], who had glimpsed her predicament, sent [[ (Parallax Universe)|another Jenny]] to help her; the more modern Jenny slipped Genevieve a loaded gun through an arrow-slit, to use as part of an escape.  

One Jenny was a {{w|Shih Tzu|shih tzu}}, though she still wore the traditional scarf (in her case, pink) and goggles, and was apparently capable of holding a conversation. She was one of the Jennies summoned by [[Universe F (Paying It Forward)|one world]]'s [[#Confrontation at Elysium Park|Jenny]] to help spook a [[Sandy-haired man (Paying It Forward)|sandy-haired man]] who'd gotten on the bad side of the local Jenny and apparently did not believe her claims of being a multi-dimensional entity. She hitched a ride on the motorcycle of a [[#Biker Jenny|“biker” Jenny]] alongside [[ (Parallax Universe)|another human Jenny]], and made her way  to [[Elysium Park]]. She then joined the afterparty in [[Universe G (Paying It Forward)|another universe]] with twenty or so other Jennies, where she captured the attention of [[#Jerry at the afterparty|afterparty]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'')

One version of Jenny was “very English” and went by the name of Jenny Cornelius. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'') Physically identical to the [[ (Parallax Universe)|“Kim's friend” Jenny]] except for different fashion senses, a British accent, and longer hair, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Watch the Skies (short story)|Watch the Skies]]'') she was native to 1960s [[London]] in [[Universe (The Folly of Men)|one universe]], living about a thousand feet from [[Carnaby Street]]. She was a particularly reckless operator, but made an open secret of her teleporting powers, for which reason she was in the good books of the [[Intelligence Taskforce]], who sometimes asked for her unofficial help in dealing with delicate situations. As well as [[Captain Stewart]], with whom she also flirted (unsuccessfully), this was what put her in contact with [[Laura Drake#Working for the Intelligence Taskforce|Miss Laura Drake]], who worked in the P.R. office. Jenny often went through her when trying to get in touch with the Taskforce, nearly always causing Laura unlikely headaches such as how to hide a submarine in the [[West India Docks]]. Despite their tense working relationship, Jenny managed to talk Laura into going on dates with her on multiple occasions, although, owing to the time period, they had to be discreet about it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Folly of Men (short story)|The Folly of Men]]'')

One Jenny whose life was glimpsed by [[ (Parallax Universe)|Kim's friend]] during her [[shifter hangover]] bade farewell to [[Octobriana#Fighting Robo-Stalin|a version]] of Octobriana who rode a dinosaur and was about to travel back in time to 1971 to fight “[[Robo-Stalin]]”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'')

A Jenny whose life was glimpsed by [[ (Parallax Universe)|Kim's friend]] during her [[shifter hangover]] was, in stark contrast to the “Kim's friend” Jenny, a genuine enemy of a [[Professor Awesome#Wreaking havoc|Professor Awesome]] who had grown to be an actually dangerous, murderous supervillain. She had known him for years, at least as early as his early twenties, by the time he launched a particularly destructive attack which left the city “on fire”. With the uncertain possibility that he had built a new [[Time Pestle]], capable of destroying the world, hanging overhead, Jenny made up her mind to attempt to shoot down Awesome with a pistol as he gloated from atop the turret of [[Professor Awesome's Omnibus|his Omnibus]], although she struggled to get a clear shot. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'')

One Jenny whose life was glimpsed by [[ (Parallax Universe)|Kim's friend]] during her [[shifter hangover]] thought of herself as a “honest-ish woman”. She was the owner of a rare and much-prized [[Jenny Everywhere's fire-breathing cow|fire-breathing cow]]. She had frequent dealings with the [[Fae|Fair Folk]], with the [[Prince of the Fair Folk]] having stolen her cow from her on at least two occasions, and did not take them very seriously. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'')

One Jenny  whose life was glimpsed by [[ (Parallax Universe)|Kim's friend]] during her [[shifter hangover]], and described by her to her friends, was present at the very beginning of the universe, witnessing the introduction of linear time, which she perceived to some degree as “the end” of the timeless universe she'd known. Her mind wasn't human, at least as the term would later be understood; indeed, human minds could not comprehend the non-linear space-time inhabited by this Jenny. The “Kim's friend” Jenny did not so much remember this story as remember remembering it, the memories having been filtered through many intermediate Jennies to become intelligible to her.Other versions of Jenny later witnessed the end of that same universe, “the laws of physics break[ing] down, freezing out into new forces nobody had ever seen before”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'')

One Jenny  whose life was glimpsed by [[ (Parallax Universe)|Kim's friend]] during her [[shifter hangover]], and described by her to her friends, was a “space cloud”. This Jenny lived “not many universes away from here” in a world where there was life in “deep space”, between the stars, far away from all planets, in the form of “huge clouds of gas and dust held together by electromagnetism and stuff”. These entities had no knowledge of planetary life, which moved impossibly quickly from their perspective, and in turn moved and thought too slowly for planetary lifeforms to recognise them as living at all; but from their own frame of reference, the space-cloud Jenny was moving quickly and gracefully, “dancing with stars”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'')

One Jenny  whose life was glimpsed by [[ (Parallax Universe)|Kim's friend]] during her [[shifter hangover]], and described by her to her friends, leaved in — for lack of a better term — an extremely seventies version of the 1970s. Tapping into her memories, the “Kim's friend” Jenny performed a song that seemed to come from a disco version of ''{{w|Jesus Christ Superstar|Jesus Christ Superstar}}'', as sung to the tune of ''{{w|Staying Alive (song)|Staying Alive}}''. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'')

In another universe, these events were written up as an erotic prose story. [[Universe (Parallax)|Another world]]'s [[ (Parallax Universe)|Jenny]] read it and discussed it with her roommate [[Kim (Parallax Universe)|Kim]], mock-bemoaning that some of her other selves were “having more fun” than she was.
