Jenny Over-There was not very happy with her lot in life, often dreaming of the simpler life she might have had if she'd never gained her powers. She found her rather mundane workdays stifling and held little fondness for [[the Man in Grey]]. She seemed to share [[Jenny Everywhere]]'s taste for [[toast]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Tribulations of Jenny Over-There (short story)|The Tribulations of Jenny Over-There]]'') Even before she got her powers, she had been planning to set the SatNav factory she worked at on fire out of frustration.

One day, Jenny reported to the [[M.F.S. office]] only to find the [[Red Interdimensional Telephone]] disconnected and her desk gone. [[The Man in Grey]] explained that he wanted her help screening new applicants as the [[Great Higher-Up]]s wished for the [[Multidimensional Finders Service]] to hire more people than just her. After harrowingly narrowing down the list of 193 applicants to just four — [[Talbot Molossus]], [[the Hydrant]], [[0000-8888888]], and [[Doctor Know-It-All]] — Jenny was crushed to learn that they were to staff a new M.F.S. office in [[Scotland]], rather than join her in [[Wales]]. However, the Man in Grey then also asked her opinion on the possibility of hiring an intern to help run the Welsh office. She enthusiastically agreed and ended up recommending hapless failed superhero [[Dynamite Thor]] for the post, feeling sorry for him after he had made multiple bungled attempts to get hired for the new positions throughout the day.

=== Pride Month with Peter === | |||
When [[the Man in Grey]] set up a [[Pride Month]] campaign, Jenny was initially irritated by the Man's inane proposal that the M.F.S. would, for the duration of Pride, allow callers to ask to know arbitrary people's sexualities. When the Man in Grey tasked [[Dynamite Thor]] with decorating the M.F.S. office, she gladly took the opportunity to get out of the office to help him shop for decorations. The two discovered [[Professor Helvetius's Convenient Pride Decorations Shop]], where they found a great number of flags and other decorations. When they brought them back to the office, however, they found the Man in Grey waiting for them, put in a very bad mood by his dismissal from the [[Interdimensional Pride Council]] over having tried to sell out to a number of unethical sponsors. He forbade Thor and Jenny from decorating the office at all, greatly distressing Thor. | |||
Seeing how much his first official Pride Month meant to her new friend (who explained that he had only recently come out as asexual, even to himself), she clarified to him that she was herself aroace, and suggested that they use the stock of decorations to throw their own party, which they spent a week planning, using Helvetius's interdimensional, bigger-on-the-inside shop as a venue. The party lived up to Thor's hopes and he had a great time, as did Jenny Over-There, who spent most of it hanging around one of the multiple versions of [[Jenny Everywhere]] in attendance.
