The Void: Difference between revisions

}}'''The Void''', also known as '''the Void Between Worlds''' or '''the nothingness beyond existence''', was the empty, liminal “space” in-between the various dimensions making up the [[multiverse]].  

Because the Void had no existence of its own, it did not “look” like anything. Attempting to look out the window while flying through the Void on an interdimensional shuttle, [[Wendy VII]] “could see… ''nothing''. More than darkness or and endless whiteness — the space on the other side of the the window was blank. Her senses were refusing to perceive it”. Indeed, theoretically, two people passing through the Void might pass right through each other, unable to touch or perceive one another, if their perspectives weren't “synched”. However, because the [[Embodiment]]s imposed an illusory “consensus reality” on weaker beings passing through the Void, it could be perceived as a “place” to one degree or another.

It could, for example, be visualised as a brownish expanse through which landmarks like the [[Interdimensional Tavern]], and the various travellers and abominations floated weightlessly. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') It could also appear as an infinite space with a pinkish or purplish hue, criss-crossed by an intangible electric-blue grid.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids]]'')]]Many methods of dimension-travelling, such as those utilising [[Void Ship]]s, relied on physically crossing through the Void on the way from one world to the next, although this did not appear to be the case of [[Jenny Everywhere]]'s shifting. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') [[Jenny Somewhere#Shifting into the Infinite|Jenny Somewhere]] found it easier to shift to a specific location if she started from the Void, rather than trying to shift directly from one world to the next, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere]]'') although she most often used [[the Infinite]] as a “buffer” when shifting from one universe to another, in ''contrast'' to other dimensional travellers who habitually used the Void for this purpose.
