[[Jenny Everywhere#In Reality 18|Jenny Everywhere]] has travelled to [[Reality B-89 54-Z]] and is preparing to enter the allegedly-haunted [[Candy Forest]] in search of a legendary witch called [[Grandmother Ginger]]. She spots a colourful shack on the edge of the forest and knocks at the door. The old woman who greets her, [[Old Mother Westwind]], explains that this shack did in fact use to be Ginger's residence, but Ginger has now fled deeper into the Forest. Confirming that she is also a [[witch]], Westwind agrees to join Jenny in looking for her. | [[Jenny Everywhere#In Reality 18|Jenny Everywhere]] has travelled to [[Reality B-89 54-Z]] and is preparing to enter the allegedly-haunted [[Candy Forest]] in search of a legendary witch called [[Grandmother Ginger]].

[[Grandmother Ginger]] and [[Jenny Everywhere#In Reality 18|Jenny]] discuss ways to bring back [[Jenny Everywhere#In Reality B-89 54-Z|Ginger's Jenny]], with Jenny explaining that she wants them to try and retrieve her [[soul]] from the Afterlife, on the assumption that there is an afterlife in a magical universe like this. It turns out that the old legends say that the souls of the dead ascend into literal, physical Outer Space, so they need to build a space-ship of some kind. [[Old Mother Westwind]] interrupts the conversation to say she'll do it herself to save money, and she immediately uses her magic to create the ''[[Wisp]]'', a giant, branching flying-broomstick they can use for such a long trip. They climb onto the contraption and are about to take off when Ginger suddenly shouts that she's left something at home. | [[Grandmother Ginger]] and [[Jenny Everywhere#In Reality 18|Jenny]] discuss ways to bring back [[Jenny Everywhere#In Reality B-89 54-Z|Ginger's Jenny]], with Jenny explaining that she wants them to try and retrieve her [[soul]] from the Afterlife, on the assumption that there is an afterlife in a magical universe like this.

==== Arc 2: Castaways ==== | |||
===== Chapter 1: The Captain ===== | |||
Starting a new diary some time after the earlier adventures, [[Jenny Everywhere#In Reality 18|Jenny]] explains that [[Grandmother Ginger]] ended up electing to stay home, which turned out to be a good thing because Jenny and [[Old Mother Westwind]] crashed the ''[[Wisp]]'' very quickly. Going down over the [[Fall Sea]], they crashed into a reef on which a ruined ship is also speared. Driven by a gut feeling, Jenny tries to swim away with a pair of old floaties, but eventually runs out of strength and tries to swim back to the reef. Unable to quite make it, she is fished out of the water by a stranger living inside the wrecked ship: [[Captain Agatha]], a stern woman wearing sunglasses, who promptly has her run around the deck to get over her numbness. Some time later, Jenny is surprised at Agatha nonsensically tossing a scrap of paper overboard, which suddenly triggers her memory of the original purpose of the ''Wisp'' flight. She looks out over the edge of the ship, unsure what to do but certain that she must try to get away from the ship one way or another. | |||
