Gaia

In the Prime Universe, **Gaia** was the goddess embodying the Earth, and the wife of Ouranos, who embodied the sky. For this reason, a prophecy once spoke of “the Sky-Wife falling” as a metaphorical way of prophesying the doom that would befall the planet itself should the World-Serpent fail in his duties. (PROSE: *The Winter Quests*)
Fiona's sword

In one universe, Fiona wielded an instantly-recognisable **sword**. She notably used it against one of the Vampire King's two revenant minions. When she caught up to Fiona and Kim during the raid on the King's lair, Jenny spotted the sword still embedded in the felled revenant's ribcage. (PROSE: *Camera Shy*)
Germany

In the Prime Universe, Castle Frankenstein was located in Darmstadt, **Germany**. (PROSE: *The Time of the Toymaker*)

In another universe, when a rogue planet entered the solar system in the middle of World War II, it was feared that Nazi Germany would attempt to settle it, leading to its main opponents in the war, the U.S. and Soviet Union, attempting to beat them to it with a joint mission. (PROSE: *The New Mission*)
Giovanni

In the 925th Universe, **Giovanni** was one of the titular protagonists of the *Super Benito Siblings* video game franchise, being Benito's scrawnier brother. The two were Italian copyright lawyers from Brooklyn. In 2023, when Dibbsy released a *Super Benito Siblings* animated film in partnership with Kyujudo, one poster featured Dollar Duck dressed up as Giovanni to match Mammon Mouse's Benito. (PROSE: *Who Laws the Lawyers?*)

## Behind the scenes

With the *Super Benito Siblings* franchise being a parody of the *Super Mario Brothers* franchise, Giovanni is an obvious stand-in for Mario's brother Luigi.

Because *Who Laws the Lawyers?* was released under a CC-BY-0 license, Giovanni and other related concepts introduced in the story are open-source.

In one universe, Wednesday Addams's father and Morticia Addams both attended Nevermore Academy before her. (PROSE: *Wednesday and the Shifter*) Wednesday decided against taking the Eleventh Doctor's offer of travelling with him in the Doctor's TARDIS because she didn't want to abandon her parents, nor her brother Pugsley Addams, her Uncle Fester, Thing, or Enid.

Fox universe

Peter “Dynamite” Thor and Glenda Sif both originated in the **Foxverse**, (PROSE: *Lovie Dovie Stuff*) or **Fox universe**, (PROSE: *Open Sourcing*) before moving to the 925th Universe. Peter had not been the only superhero in that universe, with Glenda having previously dated the unrelated Grant Farrel-alias-Thor. (PROSE: *Lovie Dovie Stuff*) Dynamite Thor was, in a metafictional sense, once “bound” to the “Fox universe”, (PROSE: *Open Sourcing*) but he moved to the 925th Universe after being hired as an intern by the Multidimensional Finders Service, and would go on to help Glenda join him there circa December 2022. (PROSE: *Lovie Dovie Stuff*)
Grace Monroe

**Grace Monroe** was a young woman who spent years away from her home universe, working through her baggage within the Infinity Train.

Somewhere along the way, she developed a strong bond with a Denizen who was the Train's incarnation of Jenny Everywhere. Eventually, Grace got her number down to just one, and realised that the only remaining step on her journey was to admit to herself that she was gay, and to Jenny that she was in fact in love with her. However, she was afraid to do so because it would mean going home *without* Jenny. Jenny encouraged Grace to take this step even so, knowing that although, as a Denizen, this particular incarnation of her was stuck on the Train, her incarnation on Grace's Earth could take care of Grace instead. After returning home, Grace was surprised and delighted to be assigned the Jenny in question as her case worker to regularise her situation after her years-long absence. (PROSE: *Shippy Shifter Snippets*)

## Behind the scenes

Grace Monroe was a major character in the *Infinity Train* series. Her appearance in the fanfic compilation *Shippy Shifter Snippets* seems to offer a potential ending for her character following the events of the canonical Season 3, the last seen of her in official *Infinity Train* material.

Great Arrow Crisis

## The Great Arrow Crisis

### Result(s)

Ownership transfer of the lumber mill and chemical plants from the Mélange of the Mauve Muskrat to, respectively, the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids and the Gang of the Green Gorilla

## Behind the scenes

### First seen in

PROSE: *The Mélange of the Mauve Muskrat*

The **Great Arrow Crisis** was an event midway in the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' history caused by the sudden rise in the price of the wood the Cupids used to fashion their Cupid Arrows.

## History

### Context

The Mélange of the Mauve Muskrat was founded, like many other Strangely-Colored Secret Societies, as a result of the First Horde laying off many of its members but imperfectly wiping their minds of their time as Horde operatives, leaving behind a drive to participate in Horde-like activities but not actual knowledge of the organisation. Unlike some, the newly-minted “Muskrats” kept their eyes on the prize and sought to locate the Lost City of Atlantis, but they lacked funds to do so, causing them to shift gears to covert corporate takeovers to build up captial. (PROSE: *The Strangely-Colored Secret Societies*, *The Mélange of the Mauve Muskrat*)

Prior to the Crisis, the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids got the wood it needed for Cupid Arrows from a lumber mill on the Prime Earth whose owners had been romanticised and thus let the Cupids have the wood for cheap. (PROSE: *The Mélange of the Mauve Muskrat*)

### The Crisis

After buying out the lumber mill, as well as the chemical plants whose products the Gang of the Green Gorilla used to power their brainwashing rays, “MuskCo” raised the prices steeply. The Cupids, who had limited funds, were unable to afford their next scheduled shipment of wood, meaning that they soon ran out of arrows. Dispatched to the Prime Earth to figure out what had gone wrong, the Scarlet Wings investigators found the company's headquarters and realised it was a front of the Mélange of the Mauve Muskrat, a Strangely-Colored Secret Society they had not previously encountered who greatly outnumbered the party of Scarlet Wings. (PROSE: *The Mélange of the Mauve Muskrat*)

### Resolution

Back in the Homeworld, the Scarlet Wings reported to the Cupid Parliament who ultimately ordered them to attack the Muskrats straight-on. When the Cupids returned to the Muskrats' HQ, they found it already under attack by the Green Gorillas, and stayed out of the fight until the stronger and more numerous Gorillas had won the fight, getting the Muskrats to sign ownership of the chemical plants over to them. The Scarlet Wings then romanticised a few of the Gorillas by lobbing bottles of Love Potion at them, and got the Gorillas to further intimidate the Muskrats into signing the lumber mill over to the Cupids. (PROSE: *The Mélange of the Mauve Muskrat*)

### Aftermath

Subsequently, though they made no further attempts to directly gum up the Cupids' operations, the Mélange of the Mauve Muskrat took every chance to inconvenience them. The Muskrats, and the Crisis, were documented by the Cupids in their archives as Cupid Fact File #192. (PROSE: *The Mélange of the Mauve Muskrat*)
Giant (Infinity Apartment)

A **Giant** with blue skin and fin-like ears, wearing a cardinal-red toga, was native to Ezri's home universe. When Jenny Everywhere and a few of her friends were called to this world to help deal with the threat posed by Minrath, one of her companions, the superhero ShatterScreen, wandered off and ended up in an arm-wrestling contest with this giant. (COMIC: *Infinity Apartment*)
Gana

In Reality Z-25 31-H, **Gana** was an old friend of Gwenna (whom she nicknamed “Little Sister Uchi”) and the leader of the Natari tribe.

## Description

### Physical appearance

Gana was a tall, muscular woman. She kept her hair relatively short and wore a gray-and-orange headband as well as matching earrings, a necklace with uneven white beads, and green clothing. (COMIC: *The Serpent Sorceress*)

### Personality

Gana was a warm, effusive friend and loyal to a fault, but highly capable as a leader in a crisis. (COMIC: *The Serpent Sorceress*)

## Biography

### Return of the Serpent Cult

   Ten years after the Natari village lost nearly all of its adult men to the bloodthirsty Serpent Cult, Gana had become the tribe's community leader, in line with its society being run mostly by women. She and her warriors helped Gwenna, the Commissioner and Wimberly rescue Kaza from the Temple of the Serpent God after the Serpent Priest's daughter Nerlana briefly attempted to revive the cult.

However, the crisis was solved with less bloodshed than expected after Nerlana was eaten by “the Serpent Lord” itself after losing control of the huge beast, and the cultists scattered without a fight, having seen their “god” bleed upon being shot by Wimberly. An amused Gana later introduced Wimberly to three Natari women who wanted to sleep with him and hopefully raise a child of his after this heroic feat (Kiana, Myoka Nabato, and Nyota); the tribe has taken to such practical one-night-stands to repopulate in the absence of the lost generation of male adults. (COMIC: *The Serpent Sorceress*)

Fountain of Youth

A man once stole water from the **Fountain of Youth** within the Strange and Wonderful House. After his thievery was found out, he was brought, his face covered in rotten fruit hurled at him by an unknown mob, to the Throne Room to be judged by Lady Elshanor. She judged him guilty and pressed the red button on the arm-rest of her throne, which opened a trap-door from which the man immediately plummeted into Pandemonium. (PROSE: *Our Strange and Wonderful House*: *The Throne Room*)
Geometron Pentagon

The seat of the Geometrons' government in the Euclidean Plane was the **Pentagon**.

It was where the council of six Geometrons at the pinnacle of their society deliberated and drafted laws, kept safe by the highly-trained Official Pentagon Guard. (PROSE: *The Euclidean Plane*)

The Pentagon also had a forbidden wing housing a library of knowledge about other dimensions which the Geometrons wished to suppress. The Pentagon existed by 1984, when Arganthone-056 participated in a Scarlet Wings mission which involved breaking into it. (PROSE: *The Time of the Toymaker*)

In 2019, after the Cupid Homeworld was rendered temporarily uninhabitable by an infestation of magical rabbits, the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids sought asylum in the Euclidean Plane, with the Copper-Colored Council of Elders walking “humbly” into the Pentagon, waving a white flag. (PROSE: *Magic Trick*)

Grant was also the primary designer of the *Afrenasia* project whose relationship to the unfinished 2002 Jenny comic is unclear, although it doesn't appear to have extended further than shared artstyle and the fact that the single page was hosted on the same website.
Fes Works

**Fes Works** wrote and drew a number of Jenny Everywhere stories, most famously under the umbrella of *The Crossing Over Worlds*. He also contributed one page to the comic jam *Miss Adventure*. He got multiple in-universe appearances and nods.

## *Fragment: The Summoning*

***Fragment: The Summoning*** was a Jenny Everywhere short story written by Scott Sanford in 2022. It was the third of Sanford's “Fragments” shorts, after *Fragment: Frogs* and *Fragment: Nowhere Plan*.

## Contents

### Plot

Sneaking around in a dark alley at night, Jenny is snuck upon by her friend Kim, who asks her what she's up to. She shows her a badly-typed flyer advertising a ritual to “SUMMUN STAAN”, explaining that she wants to make sure that the cultists don't, against all odds, succeed in summoning something dangerous. After Kim uses her mysterious abilities to help Jenny enter the empty storefront where they've set up shop, however, it becomes clear they misread the typo: while they do successfully summon the object of their worship, it's not Satan but the benign Stan.

Garden of Eden

The **Garden of Eden** was a supernaturally-beautiful garden whose entry became forbidden to humanity. It was guarded by Angels.

A version of the Garden was somehow contained within the Strange and Wonderful House as the Conservatory. It was “a beautiful place where plant life of every kind imaginable and some you had never heard of grows together, seeming somehow both wild and ordered”. (PROSE: *Our Strange and Wonderful House*: *Back to the Garden*) It was entirely indoors, but strewn about with panes of glass, most of which allowed direct sunlight of unknown provenance to stream through. Other panels were windows into other parts of the Strange and Wonderful House. (PROSE: *Our Strange and Wonderful House*: *View From a Jungle*) The “Gardener” of this Conservatory was an infamous mad angel who tried to kill all who entered. He appeared as a wizened old man with a machete to the naked eye, but his reflections revealed his true form as a many-winged creature wielding a flaming sword. (PROSE: *Our Strange and Wonderful House*: *Back to the Garden*) There was at least one another angelic Gardener, who, unlike him, had not “succumbed to the madness”, and to whom the Mad Gardener referred as Grigori. (PROSE: *Our Strange and Wonderful House*: *The Saviour*) Accordingly, the only entrance to the Conservatory was kept locked and under observation in the Guardroom. (PROSE: *Our Strange and Wonderful House*: *The Guardroom*)

In one universe, the angel Aziraphale was once the guardian of the Eastern Gate of Eden. (PROSE: *You've Been To Eden, I Perceive*)
Grigori

In the Collapsed Cosmos, winged, many-eyed mechanoids called **Grigori** were used by the artificial intelligence ARCHONET to patrol the 21st century city in which Jenny Everywhere resided. The voice of a Grigori sounded like “a train screeching to a halt”. (PROSE: *The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere*)

## Behind the scenes

“Grigori” is a common transliteration of the Greek name for the Biblical “Watchers”, a type of angel. Being frightening entities with many eyes and wings is the typical depiction of “Bible-accurate” angels.
Goblin King (Our Strange and Wonderful House)

The Master of the House once had to carry out negotiations with **the Goblin King**, requesting a special bottle of memory-wine from the Cellar to make them pleasant, (PROSE: *Our Strange and Wonderful House*: *The Cellar*) after the Goblins of the House became upset about the project of installing an Elevator in the House to bypass the Stairwell. (PROSE: *Our Strange and Wonderful House*: *Elevator*)
Ghost of the First Premium Turkey

On Thanksgiving Day 1992, Arganthone-056 defeated the **Ghost of the First Premium Turkey**. They would go on to remember the Turkey as one of the most fearsome foes they had faced, trumping even the Snap-Dragon of the Christmas Toyland. (PROSE: *The Time of the Toymaker*)

## Behind the scenes

The mention of the Ghost of the First Premium Turkey is a reference to the short story *Turkeys Turning the Tables* by W.D. Howells, which originally appeared in the anthology *Christmas Every Day and Other Stories*, published in 1892. As such, the figure is in the public domain.
Grue

**Grues** were among the legendary or “fictional” creatures kept in the Zoo of the Strange and Wonderful House. An old, experienced zookeeper once told a young recruit that one of the pieces of knowledge from works of fiction which she'd find came in handy as a zookeeper in this particular Zoo was “what to do to keep Grues away”. (PROSE: *Our Strange and Wonderful House*: *The Zoo*)

## Behind the scenes

The name of “grue” was originally coined for human-bat hybrids from Jack Vance’s *Dying Earth* book series, and they also well-known for their role as generic monsters in the 1977 text adventure game *Zork*.
Festival of Giving

In December 2019, with the Cupid Parliament having forbidden him from organising Christmas festivities (PROSE: *The Frost King's Treasure*) due to the threat represented by Santa Claus, (PROSE: *Father Christmas*) Celebration-665, the Prefect of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' Department of Festivities, instead organised a non-denominational “**Festival of Giving**” slated to cover the whole month of December.

### Plot

Professor Awesome is working in his bedroom when Kim arrives and asks him what he’s up to.

He explains that he was cornered by Coach Haggard at school and browbeaten into building a mad science device to do something about the hormonal excesses of junior high school kids. He’s currently building an area effect heteronormalizer that will totally do that “as far as Coach Haggard knows.” Also, he is grossly overcharging for this gadget.

He asks if this is unethical. Kim allows that it’s unethical to sell something under false pretenses, but also that the situation is awful and the coach deserves what he gets. Professor Awesome agrees that he won’t make a habit of it.

## Contents

### Plot

Jenny Everywhere exhausts her patience with a dense tome titled *An Introduction to Recreational Metric Engineering* and dramatically discards it on the floor. Her roommate Kim inquires as to what caused this. Jenny explains that the book is an instruction manual on “changing the properties of local spacetime” but is so densely and pretentiously written that it’s inaccessible even to other Jennies.

Kim guardedly asks why Jenny is reading such a thing and she admits that she wanted to know what was in it, as "next year" she’d left it out where Professor Awesome could read it and he was inspired to create the Time Pestle.

They agree that this should not happen again and the book should be securely locked away.

Giant

“**Giants**” was a catch-all terms for often highly dissimilar species of somewhat magical humanoids who had a human-like appearance, but were incredibly tall compared to normal humans.

The People of the Forest in the Prime Universe had legends according to which the Giants dug the seas and oceans, separating the previously unbroken Forest that had covered the entire Earth. (PROSE: *The Winter Quests*)

One universe was home to the Giants of Titan, a race of giants who were twenty times larger than humans but otherwise physically identical to them. One incarnation of Jenny Everywhere had a close relationship to one, Jakob. (COMIC: *Jenny Everywhere, Signing Off*)

A Giant with fish-like features was encountered in Ezri's home universe by ShatterScreen. (COMIC: *Infinity Apartment*)

In one universe, when they visited Swindon, Jenny Cornelius and Laura Drake faced a “steam-powered mechanical giant”. (PROSE: *Birds and Snakes*)
Fire-titan

The Frost King once had lunch with a **fire-titan**. They ended up burning the tablecloth, causing an argument at the end of the meal as the King insisted that it should be them who paid the bill. The King later tried to inflate the epicness of this incident, claiming to have “sparred with a fire-titan”. (PROSE: *The Winter Quests*)
Freyja

**Freyja**, or **Freya**, was a prominent female deity from Norse Mythology.

## Description

### Physical appearance

In Gertrude and Brunhilda's universe, Freyja had the ability to shift her form, but her “default” appearance seemed to be a white woman with straw-coloured hair tied in the back and hazel eyes. (COMIC: *2014 KAMeo Kaper*)

### Personality

Toying with Gertrude by taking on her appearance, Freya displayed a playful, mischievous streak. (COMIC: *2014 KAMeo Kaper*)

### Powers & abilities

The version of Freya from Gertrude and Brunhilda's universe displayed the ability to shapeshift into perfect duplicates of other individuals, and also to teleport in a flash. (COMIC: *2014 KAMeo Kaper*)

## Bigraphy

### In Gertrude and Brunhilda's world

In the home universe of disgraced Valkyries Gertrude and Brunhilda, Freya was the Norse Goddess of Sex, as well as the leader of the Valkyries. She referred to herself as Gertrude's “Auntie Freya”. This version of Freyja visited Kokotomo Island at the same time as Gertrude and Brunhilda. She shifted into Gertrude's appearance while strolling on the beach, and played a brief joke on the real Gertrude by greeting her while still in this form, enjoying her confusion when she realised who she'd just said “hi” to. Freya then revealed her true appearance before disappearing, leaving Gertrude to wonder what the encounter meant and whether she and Brunhilda would meet Freya again at greater length in the future. (COMIC: *2014 KAMeo Kaper*)

### In the Prime Universe

Freyja existed in the Prime Universe. Juliet-178 was keen to meet her. (PROSE: *The Winter Quests*)
Geometronian Government

The **Geometronian Government** was the ruling body of the Geometron population of the Euclidean Plane by the time of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' contacts with the Geometrons. It included six members, one of each of the six major Geometron subspecies. They drafted laws which would then be voted on by the population. They held council in the Geometron Pentagon, kept safe from Cupid (and other) attacks by the Official Pentagon Guard. (PROSE: *The Euclidean Plane*)
Genevieve, Princess of Everywhere

One universe's native **version of Jenny Everywhere** was a medieval princess called **Genevieve**, who styled herself the “**Princess of Everywhere**”. She appeared as “a woman in an implausibly pink ruffled dress”, and had the ability to talk to animals. (PROSE: *Paying It Forward*)

## Description

### Physical appearance

She was usually dressed in an “improbably pink and frilly dress” with a matching lace ruffle, also wearing “a tiara set with crystals, glinting even in indoor light”. (PROSE: *Pit Stop*)

### Powers & abilities

She had “prophetic dreams” based on the knowledge of her other selves but no awareness knowledge of her multidimensional nature, nor, seemingly, the ability to shift at will. (PROSE: *Paying It Forward*) Instead, she used a dream spinner to travel across parallel worlds, which she interpreted as “dreamlands”. It had been built for her by her raccoon sidekicks Wu and Willow. (PROSE: *Pit Stop*) She also had the ability to talk to animals. (PROSE: *Paying It Forward*)

## Biography

She was once trapped in a tower, threatened by a Baron. Cha Ni, who had glimpsed her predicament, sent another Jenny to help her; the more modern Jenny slipped Genevieve a loaded gun through an arrow-slit, to use as part of an escape.

She was, later, one of the Jennies summoned by one world's Jenny to Elysium Park to spook a sandy-haired man who'd gotten on the bad side of the local Jenny and apparently did not believe her claims of being a multi-dimensional entity. She later joined the afterparty in a different universe with twenty or so other Jennies, where she was seen telling some birds to bring her toast. (PROSE: *Paying It Forward*)

At an unknown point relative to these events, Genevieve began travelling with Prince Guy, who she thought might in fact be her “true love”, although she was not sure. Approximately one month after an adventure involving gnome wrestling, Guy and his horse were turned into pigs by the Witch of the Blue Hills. Genevieve, Willow and Wu attempted to use the dream spinner to travel to a distant “dreamland” to find Mordorak of the Nine Noses, a wizard who could allegedly perform “restorations” from such curses. However, the dream spinner broke down, landing her in the universe of the Jenny who'd previously helped her escape the Baron. Having materialised close to the home of her counterpart, she was admitted into her apartment by Jenny's roommate Kim, and explained her predicament to the two. After Jenny got Professor Awesome to fix the ship, Genevieve, Wu and Willow shared some pastrami sandwiches with the local Jenny and her friends before leaving once again to continue their quest. (PROSE: *Pit Stop*)
Ghost of Christmas Past

Pythagoras-858 once told Jenny Everywhere that the **Ghost of Christmas Past**, the Ghost of Christmas Present and the Ghost of Christmas Future had once visited the Cupid Homeworld. Jenny knew of the three Ghosts as characters in *A Christmas Carol* and was disappointed that she'd missed this adventure. (PROSE: *The Time of the Toymaker*)

One of Alistair Neezley's tall tales, which he repeated almost every year around the Christmas period, involved him claiming that he had substituted himself to the Ghost of Christmas Past as part of an adventure which saw him save the immortal soul of a sentient polar bear. (PROSE: *The Winter Quests*)
Following Up (comic story)

## *Following Up*

First page of the story.

***Following Up*** was a bonus comic to “Issue 3” of the *Tales To Behold* subseries of the webcomic *The Cosmic Beholder*. Written and drawn by Paul Hoppe, it was released both in webcomic form and in a limited print run.

It featured Jenny Nowhere (in the as-yet-unrevealed guise of “Evil Cloak”).

## Contents

### Plot

After driving Jesse into town to meet her friends Alicia and Babs, Doctor Brain crashes his car due to Evil Cloak materialising out of nowhere in the middle of the road. With his bowl cracked, the Doctor is pinned on his back lest the nutrient fluid in which his brain basks be allowed to leak out. With Brain in this position of weakness, Evil Cloak appears again and reiterates her offer of a deal.

### Worldbuilding

#### Jenny Nowhere

* This story features Evil Cloak, a mysterious individual with teleportation abilities, later revealed as a guise of the incarnation of Jenny Nowhere already featured in earlier *Beholder* comic stories.

#### Universes

* This story takes place entirely in Reality Z-25 31-H.

#### Other

* Doctor Brain refuses to allow his daughter to drive herself.

### Continuity

* This story continues on directly from COMIC: *In Dr. Brain's Kitchen*, much as its title implies.

## Behind the scenes

### Read online

*Following Up* is available online on the *Cosmic Beholder* blog.
Groff

**Groff** was a Sopachoan bounty hunter in the Green Universe. (PROSE: *Sopachoans*)

He was hired by a coalition of multiversal adventurer Jenny Everywhere's enemies to capture her alive. He tracked one incarnation of Jenny down and tried to force her to follow him, but gave up after she proved to be a much better markswoman than he was, shooting his gun out of his hand. (COMIC: *Jenny vs. Groff*)

Bankrupt, Groff retreated to “the Desert Where Poor People Have To Live”, waiting for a big score to put him back on the map. He encountered Little Choy, who gleefully insulted him. (COMIC: *Untitled*)
Glamdalf the Fabulous

**Glamdalf the Fabulous** was a man known to Jenny Everywhere and Kim in one universe. He wore pink robes and had a tendency to leave glitter everywhere, but, despite his names and trappings (such as a staff he carried), Kim was not certain that he was technically an actual magic-user, as opposed to a mere entertainer. (PROSE: *Pit Stop*)

## Behind the scenes

The name of Glamdalf is an obvious reference to Tolkien's immortal wizard Gandalf. Interestingly, *The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere*, which was serialised contemporarily with *Pit Stop*, also featured a camp parody of Gandalf, Glendalf. The nickname of “Glamdalf” has also been applied mockingly to the 1980s Soviet TV adaption of *The Hobbit*'s version of Glendalf, whose costume included large amounts of glitter.
Fisto

In one dimension, **Fisto** was the leader of one of the four battalions the Master's genetically-engineered Drag-Racing Monkey, the “Punkaz”. Accordingly, he had a punkish, spiky mohawk. Presumably due to imperfection in the Master's genetic engineering, Fisto lacked ears and had jagged, irregular, squarish teeth.

Like the other Drag-Racing Monkeys, he was ultimately retro-evolved back into an ordinary chimpanzee using the Anti-Serum. (COMIC: *Jenny Everywhere vs. the Drag-Racing Monkeys*)
Great Higher-Up

The “**Great Higher-Ups**” were the people to whom The Man in Grey answered.

## Nature

He freely described them as “evil”, a descriptor he also applied to himself, (PROSE: *Open Sourcing*) and found their true forms scary to behold. (PROSE: *Lovie Dovie Stuff*) He was keen that they not learn about his connection to the Man in Black. (PROSE: *Open Sourcing*)

## History

The Great Higher-Ups were the ones who ordered the Man in Grey to set up the Multidimensional Finders Service. (PROSE: *Open Sourcing*)

On one occasion, the Great Higher-Ups kept sending the Man in Grey Glarded funds despite his protests that he could not receive them as his account was presently in a Tax Clode. This caused him to wonder if the Higher-Ups “knew anything about Necronomics”. (PROSE: *Lovie Dovie Stuff*)

In 2022, the Higher-Ups ordered the Man in Grey to open a second branch of the M.F.S. in Scotland, hiring only open-source characters. (PROSE: *Open Sourcing*) On the solitary year that he acted as a member of the Interdimensional Pride Council, the Man in Grey did so as the Great Higher-Ups' ambassador. (PROSE: *A Series of Queer Events*) After he bungled the task completely, the Great Higher-Ups decided to send the Repairer of Reputations to the M.F.S. office to fix the Service's public image. (PROSE: *Workplace Reunion*)
Great Foundries

The **Great Foundries** were automated factories in the Cupid Homeworld, left behind by the Creator when she “went into her exile” to create new Clockwork Cherubs. (PROSE: *The Labors of Juliet*) They did so in batches of a hundred apiece, every one to seven years, based on new designs transmitted to the Foundries by the Creator from within the Forbidden Manor. (PROSE: *The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids*)

It was rumoured that Commander Amadeo-378's “quick wits” came from “a quirk of the foundries that had made the soul of his processing unit a five-point diamond, instead of the standard-cut rose quartz”. (PROSE: *The Green Gorillas*)
Gargoyle

**Gargoyles** were a classic element of gothic architecture, taking the form of grotesque statues. In some universes, living, or otherwise animate, creatures by that name existed.

In one universe, when renting a new apartment, Junter and Ibdis were confused by the mixed signals of the building having gargoyles, only for the ominous effect to be undercut by one of them holding a bunch of daisies, and the other a “Welcome, Roomies” sign. (COMIC: *Gargoyles and Daisies*)

One of Alistair Neezley's tall tales involved being chased through the Glowing Caves of Swaatch by a Gargoyle. (PROSE: *Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market*)

In one universe, while entering a castle, Jenny Everywhere posted to Twitter that she'd spotted some gargoyles by the gate, before commenting that "This [was] a cliché". (PROSE: *Jenny Everywhere's Twitter*)
Forbidium

**Forbidium** was a metal. Pythagoras-858 owned a pair of manacles made of forbidium. (PROSE: *Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving*)

## Behind the scenes

This is an allusion to the mythos of Disney comics, with forbidium being depicted in *The Forbidium Money Bin* as the hardest substance on Earth in the Prime Universe.
Giza

Twenty miles out from **Giza** was a sunny desert which offered no shade at noon. Jenny Nowhere once lost Jenny Everywhere (who was chasing her with Kim) by shifting there, endangering the vampiric Kim and forcing Everywhere to shift her to safety instead of continuing the chase. (PROSE: *Parallax*)
First Doctor (Jenny Everywhere meets Peter Griffin)

## The First Doctor

In one universe, a **version of the First Doctor**, an early incarnation of the Doctor in this universe, took part in an *Among Us*-like scenario on a spaceship where death occurred and people were accused of being the "Imposter", alongside his granddaughter Susan Foreman.

## Biography

### On a spaceship

During the aforementioned *Among Us*-like scenario, the First Doctor, (COMIC: *Among Us ft. Dr. Who*) standing behind Peter Griffin, (COMIC: *Jenny Everywhere meets Peter Griffin*, *Among Us ft. Dr. Who*) compared the situation to said game, and assured his granddaughter Susan that he was no robot. (COMIC: *Among Us ft. Dr. Who*)

### Legacy

Peter Griffin later recalled his time on the spaceship when talking to Jenny Everywhere. (COMIC: *Jenny Everywhere meets Peter Griffin*)
Golden Goat (Pessimist and the Dromedaries)

In the Prime Universe, a sarcastic **Golden Goat** was one of the inmates at the Drove of the Database-Compiling Dromedaries' Research Laboratory 6 when Pessimist-242 was brought there. Like the others, the Goat took place in the mass escape orchestrated by Pessimist soon after, notably headbutting the third guard into a cell. Like other members of the Gaggle, the Goat never missed an opportunity to mention its opinion that goats were the most magnificent species in existence. (PROSE: *Pessimist and the Dromedaries*)
Flat Earth

The ***Flat Earth*** was a small bar in one mundane universe's version of the U.S. It was the place the local Jenny Everywhere visited to hang out with her one stable human friend, (COMIC: *Cars*, *Tribute*) including even before the friend in question was legally of drinking age. However, their meet-ups became less frequent as the years went on, and eventually, Jenny's friend succumbed to an illness; after waiting for them in vain, Jenny ran out of the bar for the last time, in tears. The bar itself was soon closing by then, with the building already up for rent. (COMIC: *Tribute*)
Green Gorilla (Pessimist and the Dromedaries)

A **Green Gorilla** was one of the mutant animals kept prisoner in the basement of the Drove of the Database-Compiling Dromedaries' Research Laboratory 6 when Pessimist-242 was brought there. Not having given up on breaking out even after a lengthy captivity, the Green Gorilla always asked new arrivals if they had powers that could be used in an escape attempt. These hopes were finally fulfilled when Pessimist revealed that as a Clockwork Cherub, he had the ability to hack the electronic locking system of the cells. The Gorilla played an instrumental part in the ensuing breakout, notably using his great physical strength to pry open a ceiling hatchway to allow the escapees to leave the building. (PROSE: *Pessimist and the Dromedaries*)
Giga-annum

Madame Tarsa once claimed to have “**giga-annums**” of experience wrapping up Christmas presents. (PROSE: *The Winter Quests*)

## Behind the scenes

Under the SI prefix scheme "giga-" refers to 109 times the base, or billions. "Annum," of course, means year (as in "annual"). Therefore "giga-annums" is just a pretentious way of saying billions of years.
Giant badger

In Reality Z-25 31-H, a **giant badger** once guarded the Obelisk of Rangora in the Naked Jungle. Wonderella and Wonderita had to fight their way past the creature to access the Obelisk and use it to teleport back to their home universe. (COMIC: *Wonderella Drops by the Jungle*)

Cork and Blotto also encountered the giant badger, although it's not clear that they contributed anything to fending it off. (COMIC: *Cork and Blotto meet Kaza and Gwenna*)
Ficlinomicon

The ***Ficlinomicon*** was a dangerous book kept in the library of Hawk Manor in one universe. It had to be kept in a locked case with chains wrapped around it. (PROSE: *Our Strange and Wonderful House*: *The Library*)

## Behind the scenes

Hawk Manor and its denizens predated *Our Strange and Wonderful House*, originating in Elsha Hawk's writings on the real-world Ficlets website, referenced within *Our Strange and Wonderful House* as a nod to these origins. The *Ficlinomicon* was, naturally, named in reference to the *Necronomicon*.
Fortune teller (Makeshift Multiverse)

## The Fortune teller

A young **fortune teller** did tarot readings in the street in one universe, for the price of $3 per customer.

On a whim, the local incarnation of Jenny Everywhere once had her fortune read by this woman. She ended up picking out five different “World” cards from her deck, even though she only owned one. Baffled by her own prediction, the fortune teller waived Jenny's fee for the reading. Soon after, Jenny bumped into four other incarnations of herself from parallel universes, thus contextualising the strange prediction. (COMIC: *Makeshift Multiverse*)
Figure in the Airing Cupboard

A century before “the coming of the Elevator”, the then-current Master of the House of the Strange and Wonderful House kept a mistress. After a parlour maid discovered the true nature of the Airing Cupboard, he installed a life-sized portrait of her over the door. This outraged the Master of the House's wife, and it was later said that she instantly moved back to the continent, where she died of jealously soon after. A century later, when the disturbances caused by the Elevator's appearance caused the door to the Cupboard to be rediscovered, a visitor entered the Cupboard only to be confronted by a ghostly **figure** in a “peculiar” Victorian nightdress who referred to him as “darling” and pulled him into a deadly hug. (PROSE: *Our Strange and Wonderful House*: *The Airing Cupboard*)

## Behind the scenes

There are many possible interpretations of the end of the *The Airing Cupboard*, from the figure being the mistress, to being what's left of the wife whom the Master locked into the Cupboard instead of her moving to the continent as was rumoured, to being unrelated to either.
