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. 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]].

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 (925th Universe)|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.

Meanwhile, [[The Man in Grey (925th Universe)|the Man in Grey]] has travelled to the doors of the [[Diggs estate]] in the [[Land of Oz (925th Universe)|Land of Oz]], as he is acting for the first time as the [[Great Higher-Up]]s' appointed representative on the [[Interdimensional Pride Council]], to whom [[Oscar Diggs]] has loaned the building. He bumps into [[Professor Wogglebug (925th Universe)|Professor Wogglebug]] and announces that he has secured a number of “great sponsors” for the [[Interdimensional Pride Parade]] including [[DollarGraveClub]], the [[Super Besties Justice Squad]], [[Dibbsy]], [[Kablamazon]], and the god [[Dionysus]]. The Man in Grey leaves his briefcase full of “important grey documents” at the door of the councilchamber and walks in, unaware that a scant few moments later, Oscar Diggs walks back in to retrieve his briefcase, which he forgot to take before leaving for his holiday on the beaches of the [[Land of Mo]]. He confuses the Man in Grey's briefcase for his and makes off with it.
