It's [[Pride Month]], and [[the Man in Grey]], with his trademark thoughtless callousness, is attempting to coordinate the [[Multidimensional Finders Service]]'s pride campaign himself, rainbow-capitalism-style — including a special offer for callers to be able to find out, not only where items and people are located as usual, but also whether any people of their choice is a member of the queer community. | It's [[Pride Month]], and [[the Man in Grey]], with his trademark thoughtless callousness, is attempting to coordinate the [[Multidimensional Finders Service]]'s pride campaign himself, rainbow-capitalism-style — including a special offer for callers to be able to find out, not only where items and people are located as usual, but also whether any people of their choice is a member of the queer community. | ||
Work soon commences at the [[M.F.S. office]]; in addition to the usual calls for finding things, which come with their fair share of people asking fruitlessly about [[Jenny Everywhere]], [[Jenny Over-There]] indeed starts getting calls from people asking about other people's sexualities, though she refuses to answer their questions. One of her calls, from a version of [[Captain Ahab]] who's managed to contact the M.F.S. to help him locate [[Moby Dick]], sees the conversation devolve when [[Ishmael]] asks Ahab, within earshot of the phone, if he can go to the [[Multi-Reality Pride Festival]] with [[Queequeg]]. | Work soon commences at the [[M.F.S. office]]; in addition to the usual calls for finding things, which come with their fair share of people asking fruitlessly about [[Jenny Everywhere]], [[Jenny Over-There (925th Universe)|Jenny Over-There]] indeed starts getting calls from people asking about other people's sexualities, though she refuses to answer their questions.

At this moment, [[Dynamite Thor]] walks in, his costume subtly altered: the sticks of dynamite on his belt have been painted to depict the stripes of the ace flag. He explains that [[the Man in Grey]] asked him to decorate the office for Pride, but didn't give him any decorations, save a stock of posters with the Man in Grey's unconvincing rendition of a rainbow M.F.S. logo. Jenny agrees to go into the town with him to look for more varied items to buy. All this time, unbeknownst to Jenny, Ahab stays on the line, waiting for his directions. | At this moment, [[Dynamite Thor]] walks in, his costume subtly altered: the sticks of dynamite on his belt have been painted to depict the stripes of the ace flag.
