[[The Restaurant]] was a pocket-dimension restaurant accessible from any universe, staffed by versions of Jenny and principally patronised by other versions of Jenny, mostly humans or humanoids. It was, however, also accessible to friends and acquaintances Jenny chose to bring along. Because it was the superposition of all its possible timelines, the Restaurant was indestructible: if any part of it was damaged, it would simply shift itself to an intact version, with the occupants none the wiser.

[[The Infinite]] was a plane of reality through which Jenny could pass as she [[shift]]ed. She could stop off there at her leisure to socialise with other versions of herself, and a number of Jennies stayed there on a permanent basis to keep it running smoothly. Jenny could take her [[Anchor]]s there, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'') but it was, by and large, impossible for other [[shift]]ers to get into the Infinite on their own.

When enough of the Shifter's mental network got “worn out”, over millennia, a significant number of her incarnations automatically “zapped off to”, in Jenny's own words, a “[[secret realm beyond Time]]”, where they remained for a few weeks, during which their [[shift]]ing powers were rejuvenated and their mental link resynched. After returning to [[the Multiverse]], even Jenny herself did not actually remember the experience in any detail. As she once explained, “some elements of me are secret even to, well, me!”.
