When Jenny and Thor return to the [[M.F.S. office|M.F.S. building]], all set to install the plethora of decorations they acquired at Helvetius's, they find the Man in Grey returning in a sulk, shredding his pride flyers. He orders them to cancel all Pride activities at the M.F.S. before heading off. This leaves Thor crushed, to a degree which surprises Jenny until he explains that this would have been his first year taking part in Pride Month, as he only recently realised he was asexual. Jenny confirms to him that she is herself aroace, and suggests that they might throw their own party outside the bounds of the M.F.S. using all the decorations they bought. | When Jenny and Thor return to the [[M.F.S. office|M.F.S. building]], all set to install the plethora of decorations they acquired at Helvetius's, they find the Man in Grey returning in a sulk, shredding his pride flyers.

Within a week, they are indeed able to set up an interdimensional Pride-themed party, with Helvetius landing them her shop (whose interior somehow transforms itself into a roomy, empty party venue) for the purpose, with Thor ending up doing most of the decorating, while Jenny handles food and invitations. Meanwhile, the Man in Grey has gone off to sulk at “the most heterosexual bar he could find”, a “miserable area filled with miserable, one [[Stardust the Super-Wizard|miserable superhuman]],” and, as it turns out, Professor Wogglebug. He explains to the Man that, although he is now banned from the Interdimensional Pride Council, he wasn't actually punished by Ozma, who is “oddly forgiving”, unlike the Man, who's been banned from Oz itself. As they get to talking, the Wogglebug convinces the Man to go to Jenny's party, where he ends up having fun, as do the variety of odd characters attending the party, from [[Nyarlathotep]] to [[the Invisible Pink Unicorn]]. | Within a week, they are indeed able to set up an interdimensional Pride-themed party, with Helvetius landing them her shop (whose interior somehow transforms itself into a roomy, empty party venue) for the purpose, with Thor ending up doing most of the decorating, while Jenny handles food and invitations.
