Department of Baked Goods' building

The **Department of Baked Goods' building**, (PROSE: *Baker-954 and the Holiday Cookies*) or **building of the Department of Baked Goods**, (PROSE: *Larrikin and the Christmas Pudding*) was the building in the Cupid Homeworld which served as the headquarters for the Department of Baked Goods.

It was located on the Mainland Cloud, some distance away from the Department of Documentation's break room, (PROSE: *Larrikin and the Christmas Pudding*) and it was outfitted with an oven and other equipment. Baker-954 seemed to be there on his own in December 2019 when Celebration-665 got him to create a batch of holiday cookies at short notice for his Christmas-esque festivities. (PROSE: *Baker-954 and the Holiday Cookies*) Later, Bibliophile-962 sent Larrikin-1029 racing to the building to collect a Christmas pudding from Baker and take it back to the Department of Documentation's break room. (PROSE: *Larrikin and the Christmas Pudding*)
Cosmic Solution

## The Cosmic Solution

In Reality Z-25 31-H, the **Cosmic Solution** was a fearsome robotic servant of the Cosmic Order.

Much like Armagedda before it, the Solution was sent to Earth to destroy humanity. It was barely toy-sized as it flew through space, but had the capacity to grow in size and mass every time it absorbed a shock of any kind, meaning it quickly became a threat after landing in the busy streets of New York, and then kept on growing as various authorities and then superheroes tried to fight back. Hank Richards briefly found a way to weaken and shrink the Solution by using a machine he had built to sap its energy away, reversing its growth, but this was short-lived.

However, another agent of the Cosmic Order had been sent to Earth alongside the Solution, with the task of seeing if Earth was worth saving. The only condition for the Cosmic Order to award the people of the Earth another million years of existence was to find a single human willing to mount an argument that the world deserved to be saved. It finally came in the unexpected form of Jenkins, who answered the agent's question with the opinion that it was “all worth it” for building up to the supremely funny absurdity of the failure of Kelly's plan to defeat the Solution. Accepting this uncritically, the agent revealed his true nature and called off the Solution, who immediately obeyed him. The two then flew back into space together after delivering a last few words of advice to humanity, cautioning them to do the best of the time they'd been given. (COMIC: *Journey Out Of Misery*)

The damage from the Solution's attack, which had included the creation of a rip in reality in Times Square, was subsequently cleaned up by Professor Madison with the help of the heroes who had taken part in the fight itself. (COMIC: *Epilogue to Destruction*)

The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids - Cupids in the Snow
Department of Physics

The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids had a **Department of Physics**. After “amateur researchers” within the Department of Cupid Anatomy suggested that Pessimist-242 was so gloomy due to having a negatronic brain instead of a positronic brain, the Department of Physics were quick to inform them that the term was “ridiculous and entirely unscientific”. (PROSE: *Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery*)
Dandy and the Christmas Tree (short story)

## *Dandy and the Christmas Tree*

***Dandy and the Christmas Tree*** was a *Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids* short story written by Lupan Evezan, the first of the *Homeworld Holiday Vignettes*.

## Contents

### Plot

Dandy-432 has dragged Foreman-964 to a “forest of Christmas trees” in the Prime Universe to find a suitable tree and bring it back to his house in the Cupid Homeworld. Though Foreman is less than enthusiastic, Dandy proves cheerfully immovable on the matter, and needs Foreman's physical strength to chop down the tree. Dandy suggests a small, living-room-friendly tree, which rather underwhelms Foreman, though he cuts it all the same. As the two are dragging the tree to Dandy-432's Fog Ship, they find the gate they entered through closed, when it was open before; they are hailed by the farmer who owns this plantation, but manage to make it over the gate and run into the distance before he can stop them from making off with the little tree, albeit a little sheepishly.

### Worldbuilding

#### Universes

* The story takes place in the Prime Universe.

### Continuity

* The Cupids' discovery of Christmas traditions sets itself within the framework established by PROSE: *The Frost King's Treasure* with the “Festival of Giving” organised by Celebration-665.
* Allusion is made to Foreman-964's usual M.O. of warehouse-building, initially established in PROSE: *Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery*.
* The story may be interpreted as a prequel to GAME: *Cupid Christmas Tree*, where a nondescript Cupid was attempting to decorate a Christmas tree, noting that the tradition was new to them.

Department of Cupid Anatomy

The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids had a **Department of Cupid Anatomy**.

“Amateur researchers” within it once suggested that Pessimist-242 was so gloomy due to having a negatronic brain instead of a positronic brain, but the Department of Physics were quick to inform them that the term was meaningless and preposterous. (PROSE: *Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery*)

The Department of Cupid Anatomy also made an ongoing study of Nostradamus-066, hoping to figure out why he had the capacity to get visions, albeit visions of the past instead of the future. (PROSE: *New Warehouse To Be Constructed In The Homeworld*)
Department of Space-Time Anomalies

The radars of the **Department of Space-Time Anomalies** of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' Cupid Intelligence Institute failed to detect the brief incursion by Lilathia and Brutus's pan-dimensional speedsters into the Cupid Homeworld because “the entire Department [was] out to lunch” when they passed through. (PROSE: *Marksmanship-522 and the Multi-Dimensional Race*)
Department of Interpretation

The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' Cupid Intelligence Institute had a **Department of Interpretation**.

Issue #1034 of *The Cupid Courier* printed one of “backwards prophet” Nostradamus-066's visions, which discussed “the Great Bird” creating “life anew from the metal of Cyprus” in the image of “the Old God”, along with the Department of Interpretation's elucidation of it as an account of the creation of the Cupids themselves. (PROSE: *Conspiracy-1263 Publicly Accuses the Gang of the Green Gorillas*)
Department of Supplies

The **Department of Supplies** was a department of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' Cupid Intelligence Institute.

When Governor-105 destroyed Paintbrush-122's portrait of him, Pythagoras-858 angrily stated that he “[did]n't think the Department of Supplies would approve of this sort of behavior, let alone the Department of Artistry”. (PROSE: *The Resurrection of the Wellsians*)
Cupid (A Visit to Doc-012)

## Unnamed Cupid

A **Cupid**, i.e. a Clockwork Cherub of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, once visited the Crew's very own physician Doc-012 about feeling weary and worn-down. Doc-012 simply told the younger Cupid to go home and take some time to “rewind” — specifying that he did mean literally rewind, and not just the human concept of unwinding. (COMIC: *A Visit to Doc-012*)
Deathray

## The Deathray

A **Deathray** was created by Professor Madison at some point before 2011 in Reality Z-25 31-H. She kept it under lock and key in a vault in her secret laboratory in the Mojave Desert. However, one night, her jealous assistant Hank Richards took command of another one of Madison's inventions (the giant robot nicknamed “the Rabbit”) and used it to break the vault open. He subsequently mounted the weapon onto the robot's right arm. However, the next day, the scheme was exposed and the robot was destroyed by Kelly, with the Deathray presumably lost with it. (COMIC: *Ghost in the Apparatus of the Spirit in the Shell of the Machine*)
Clockwork Moon

The instructions the Creator left to the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids on how to operate the Clockwork Sun and the **Clockwork Moon** were “exceedingly unclear” and the latter was soon misplaced altogether, meaning the Cupid Homeworld wound up without a real day-night cycle, contrary to her original plans. The Department of Celestial Bodies, initially tasked with operating them, had “been looking for the Moon for thirty-two years” by 2022. (PROSE: *Family Business*)
Department of Psychology

The **Department of Psychology** was a department of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.

It was founded in 2019 by Sigmund-1028 based on his experience observing the Sisters of Juliet in Dimension 1579, and was further staffed by his litany of short-term successors as overseers of the Sisters' asteroid. They were able to use their observations of all the Juliets to put forward a full psychological profile of Juliet-178. (PROSE: *Of Romeos and Juliets*)

By 2019, the Department of Psychology had made clear their wish to study Pessimist-242, but he had not let them, reasoning that they couldn't help him anyway. (PROSE: *Magic Trick*)
Cupid

**Cupid** was a winged Greco-Roman deity associated with love.

The Creator fashioned her Clockwork Cherubs in the broad likeness of the winged Greek deity Cupid as he existed in her Prime Universe, (PROSE: *The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids*) as the son of Aphrodite. (PROSE: *Magic Trick*) She soon discovered that Cupid's wingspan would not allow a non-supernatural being to fly, forcing her to develop anti-gravity circuits for her “Cupids” to replicate this feat. (PROSE: *The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids*) One of Nostradamus-066's prophecies referred to the Cupids as “those made in the image of the old god”, (PROSE: *New Warehouse To Be Constructed In The Homeworld*) and a later one, printed in Issue #1034 of *The Cupid Courier*, iscussed “the Great Bird” creating “life anew from the metal of Cyprus” in the image of “the Old God”, which the Department of Interpretation soon realised was a direct account the creation of the Cupids themselves. (PROSE: *Conspiracy-1263 Publicly Accuses the Gang of the Green Gorillas*)

The 925th Universe was home to Copper Cupid, a “Cupid-themed” superhero with no relationship to the similarly-named androids. (PROSE: *Lovie Dovie Stuff*)
Conceptual engine

**Conceptual engines**, or **conceptual drives**, were key components of the Fog Ships, the Void Ships used by the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.

The designs for the conceptual drive were among those left behind by the Creator to her creations before she withdrew from public life. Cupid scientists then used them as well as her plans for dematerialisation circuits to develop the Fog Ships. (PROSE: *The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids*)

Juliet believed that the only components absolutely necessary to a Fog Ship's function were “the engine”, the dematerialisation circuit, and the steering wheel. (PROSE: *The Labors of Juliet*)
Council House of Prophetstown

The **Council House of Prophetstown** was one of the locations which, in the Collapsed Cosmos, had been erased from normal history, only to be snatched from oblivion by the Archons to be integrated into the Redoubt, their infinite city at the End of Time. (PROSE: *The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere*)

## Behind the scenes

This presumably refers to the replica Shawnee council house in the Prophetstown State Park, rather than to the town hall of the actual city.
Department of Entertainment

The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' Cupid Intelligence Institute had a large **Department of Entertainment** which created media for the popular entertainment of the Cupids themselves.

In 2019, they embarked upon one of their most ambitious projects to date, an animated series principally starring non-Cupid characters, entitled *The Rainbow Adventures*. Sketchbook-430 worked on the series, as did Paintbrush-122, recently returned from Morningstar 1 following Mandragora's Great Experiment. (PROSE: *Plagiarism of the SavageMen*)
Cybele

In 2021, Prime Universe time, “the Great Goddess **Cybele**, Multiversal Overseer of All Cybernetic Life” declared s“ome kind of vacancy” in the position of Supreme Cyborg. This led various cyborg species from across the Multiverse to come to blows over the title. (PROSE: *The Winter Quests*)

## Behind the scenes

The earlier *The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids* story *The Fall of the Consistency Palatium* introduced the idea that the Prime Universe's version of the ancient nature goddess Cybele had, in modern times, “taken advantage of a fortuitous, if coincidental, semantic connection” to find a new position for herself as a patron of cyborgs.
Council of Frogs

## The Council of Frogs

The **Council of Frogs** was an organisation which oversaw and regulated the Multiverse.

They created a Doomsday Book listing known universes; the numbered “Council of Frogs classification” was a consensus naming scheme of universes, used for example in the Interdimensional Hotel. It was unclear whether the group was actually made up of sapient frogs, although Sylvester Shoebill once implied so, referring to the Frogs as “slimy green gits”. (PROSE: *The Grand Multiverse Hotel*)

During his brief impromptu lecture on Multiversal theory, Doctor Sigma regretted not finding the time to explain the nature of the Council of Frog to his audience. (COMIC: *The Beginner's Guide to Multiversal Theory*)

The Council was one of many multiversal authorities which disapproved of factions with interdimensional capabilities conquering other universes than their own, dissuading the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids from ever pursuing such strategies. (PROSE: *The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids*) They “turned a blind eye” to the Cupids founding Morningstar 1 on Venus in the 97th Cosmos on the basis that the planet was uninhabited, and with the understanding that they would make no attempt to take control of the nearby Earth. (PROSE: *The Resurrection of the Wellsians*)

Lord Thymon once swore “by the Frogs”. (PROSE: *Family Business*)

Jenny Nowhere#Miss\_Erehwon once alleged that sufficiently advanced civilizations may be provided with information on their universe's official catalog number, such as within a closed "Batrachian Casket" to be opened if necessary. (PROSE: *How To Steal Timeships & To Influence Time Lords*)
Department of Completed Assignments

The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' **Department of Completed Assignments** was responsible for the intake about mission reports from Clockwork Cherubs who had completed assignments. They then transmitted the reports to the Department of Documentation via the Department of Postal Services. This process was, for much of the Crew's history, needlessly slow, but became near-instantaneous despite the intermediate steps when a new, non-Cupid worker began to handle mail-sorting at the Post Office. (PROSE: *Marksmanship-522 and the Multi-Dimensional Race*)
Comet Theta

In the 659433585786388480th Universe, **Comet Theta** was a sentient, talking comet.

Jenny Everywhere once made a date with Theta in outer space. Theta was late to the date and only spent a few seconds with Jenny after arriving, before simply continuing to revolve at a high speed in Theta's normal orbit, leaving Jenny behind with a “Bye!”. (COMIC: *A Match Made in the Heavens*)

Jenny later introduced Theta to another one of her partners, Lord Thymon, as well as to their time-shifted daughter Sophie Everytime. To enable the conversation, Sophie used her temporal abilities to freeze the Comet in place. (PROSE: *Family Business*)
Comedy Skits (short story)

## *Comedy Skits*

***Comedy Skits*** was a short story in script format released by Mishmash, released in 2022. Despite the plural title, only one sketch was presented.

## Contents

### Plot

Jenny Everywhere convinces Laura Drake to follow her to the Himalayas to find a Yeti and bring it back home as a pet. Two months on, the wacky scheme has landed them in a Himalayan prison, as it turns out that in this world, Yetis are not only known to be real, but a protected species.

David Barnett

**David Barnett** was an early Jenny Everywhere comic writer. He wrote *My Bloody Valentine* and *The Death of Jenny Everywhere*. His self-written bio was given on queergranny.com as follows:

In his secret identity, David is a mild-mannered newspaper journalist with a string of awards which were formerly on his wall but had to be taken down to make way for a bookshelf to hold his out-of-control Beat Generation literature collection. He is married with one freshly-minted young baby and is curator to two cats, Kali and Shiva. David is the charismatic front-man with spiky rock five-piece Choppersquad, and says the most frightening experience in his life was running the bulls in the St Fermin festival in Pamplona. He has written two novels and is compiling a list of all the agents and fiction editors who have rejected him, which will no doubt be put to nefarious uses. The only autographs he owns are Kenny Baker aka R2D2, Peter Wyngarde, Alan Moore and Phil and Paul Hartnoll, aka Orbital.

In 2008, David Barnett looked back on the early years of Jenny Everywhere in an article in *The Guardian*.
Constellation of Kasterborous

Gallifrey, in the **constellation of Kasterborous**, was the Time Lords' planet of origin in many universes.

For example, in one, the Eleventh Doctor introduced himself as being from Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous to Wednesday Addams. (PROSE: *Wednesday and the Doctor*)

Company of Free Genies

## The Company of Free Genies

In the Prime Universe, the **Company of Free Genies** was, as their name implied, a group of free Genies who collectively ran a business in the Home City.

## Nature

As their tagline of “*The Genies Are Free, The Wishes Aren't*” advertised, they granted wishes for a price. They kept up a flimsy pretense that they were a mundane human business with genie theming, but their true nature was an open secret, and they often catered to clients who were supernatural themselves, preferring, in such cases, to be paid in the form of magical artefacts rather than mere money. (PROSE: *The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere*)

## History

The Company of Free Genies was formed by Genies who escaped from the clutches of the First Horde in the 1960s. After “a bit of wandering”, they made their home in the Home City. They catered to supernatural clients, notably having contacts with the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids; Pythagoras-858, as a Problem-Solver, saw them as kindred spirits of a sort. Pythe later mentioned them to Jenny Everywhere during the Rifts Crisis.

Some time later, Jenny visited their shop to get the location of the Lurigadawne of Tipperary, paying with a magic wand. In the lobby, she met local ghost the Mad Marquess, who had his own request to present to the Genies. After the Genie manning the front desk sent her to the Gnome Place after the Lurigadawne, the Mad Marquess started berating the Genie, who, annoyed, willfully interpreted one of the Marquess's comments to send him off to the Gnome Place too instead of granting whatever wish the Marquess had actually planned to purchase with the magical mask he'd sacrificed to the Genies. (PROSE: *The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere*)
Clockmaking Capybara (Pessimist and the Dromedaries)

One **Clockmaking Capybara** was among the inmates at the Drove of the Database-Compiling Dromedaries's Research Laboratory 6 in the Prime Universe by the time they captured Pessimist-242 of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids. After scanning Pessimist, Darius got the Capybara to create a cheap duplicate of him to send back to the Cupid Homeworld to cover up Pessimist's disappearance. Despite this cooperation with its captors, the Capybara later took part in the mass escape staged by Pessimist, helping to hold Darius down to allow Pessimist to use a Cupid Arrow on him. (PROSE: *Pessimist and the Dromedaries*)
Cupid Love Reverser

The **Cupid Love Reverser** was a specialised brainwashing-type device invented by the Gang of the Green Gorilla (PROSE: *The Book of Evil*) following the 1986 Skirmish at the Vanityville Supermarket which first put them in opposition with the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids. (PROSE: *The Green Gorillas*) As the name implied, it was capable of reversing the effects of Cupid Love Potion. The Cupids catching wind of this invention and taking offence to it was the true source of their long-running hostility with the Gorillas, moreso than the Skirmish itself. (PROSE: *The Book of Evil*)
Dat

**Dats** were an animal species native to the two-dimensional universe known as the Euclidean Plane.

They were the smallest observable life-form in the Euclidean Plane, appearing as little more than living dots. As such, they were individually harmless. However, swarms of dot had the ability to adopt more complex gestalt shapes. (PROSE: *The Euclidean Plane*) For example, when wishing to traverse bodies of water, Dat swarms sometimes adopted “tapered cylindrical formations” which were the closest thing to fish in the Euclidean Plane. (PROSE: *Multiversal Mischief*) It was also possible for a group Dats to permanently merge together into a Linea or an Ambagesque. Some believed that a sufficiently great number of Dats could hypothetically recombine into a sapient Geometron, although this was controversial.

Dats were often considered pests by Geometrons, but some kept them as pets in terrariums. (PROSE: *The Euclidean Plane*)
Department of Redundancy Department

The **Department of Redundancy Department**, (PROSE: *The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids*) or **Department of Redundancy Departments**, (PROSE: *Magic Trick*) was one of the Departments of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids's Intelligence Institute. (PROSE: *The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids*)

Its Prefect was Recursion-462. On the day of the faceless magician incident, he had been participating in the Cupid Parliament's protracted debate on whose responsibility it was to refill the ink in Stenographer-123, opining “It’s obviously a job for the Department of Documentation, whom it is obviously a job for!”. When the argument briefly devolved into a fistfight, he was attacked by Technophile-963. However, the scuffle didn't last long before the onslaught of magic rabbits forced the Cupids to evacuate the Cupid Parliament building, with their destruction of the typewriter rendering the earlier fight moot anyway. (PROSE: *Magic Trick*)

## Behind the scenes

*TVtropes* uses the joke-name “Department of Redundancy Department” for its profile on stock tautology jokes.
Death surgery

In the 925th Universe, “**Death surgery**” was an operation Professor Wogglebug once performed on a volunteer test subject who'd just had an aneurysm because of Wogglebug's experimental Brain Pills. The surgery turned the volunteer into a healthy undead being. Being in possession of “a good lawyer”, the Professor was confident that this would suffice to put him in the legal clear, as he confided to the Man in Grey on Valentine's Day 2023. (PROSE: *Lovie Dovie Stuff*)
Dawkin

In one dimension, **Dawkin** was an Aspergot. The marking on his forehead was a red triangle pointing downward. Dawkin was enslaved by the Bishop like the other Aspergots, until a version of Jenny Everywhere who was a “Child of the Nexus” came to this universe. By chance, Dawkin was the Aspergot she first stumbled upon, and relied upon to tell her the truth about what was going on. (COMIC: *Jenny Everywhere and the Dark Bishop*)
David Cassidy

**David Cassidy** was a celebrity. In one universe, he became President of the United States of America, an idea which seemed ludicrous in at least one another dimension in which his name was known. (COMIC: *Tribute*) His administration seems to have been musically memorable; in at least one universe people could get CDs of his inauguration. (PROSE: *Cleaning Day*)

## Behind the scenes

In our universe he was a singer and actor, playing Keith Partridge on the 1970s sitcom The Partridge Family and becoming a teen idol — but never president.
Department of Zoology

The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids had a **Department of Zoology**.

Though he was also a member of the Department of Problem-Solving, (PROSE: *Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving*) Edwin-750 described himself as a member of it when he wrote to the Copper-Colored Council of Elders to request that they sanction an official research expedition to the Euclidean Plane to investigate reports of a hitherto-undocumented type of Geometron, the Lunaeoid. (PROSE: *The Cupid Suggestion Box*)

After Conspiracy-1263 gathered a number of apes and monkeys on Reichenbach IV in an unidentified universe for an experiment, and this was discovered, the Department took charge of the animals. It ended up releasing most of them back onto Reichenbach IV, which turned out to be home to suitable habitats for most of them. (PROSE: *The Case Against Conspiracy*)
Cupid Prime

His Honour the **Cupid Prime** was the oldest Clockwork Cherub of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, and the first Clockwork Cherub created by the Creator after the Cupid Prototype (numbered #000). As such, he headed the Copper-Colored Council of Elders and, through it, the Cupid Parliament, (PROSE: *The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids*) though he rarely attended Parliamentary sessions in person. (PROSE: *Magic Trick*)

In 2019, increasingly frustrated by their rebuffing of his warlike suggestions, Conquest-932 founded the Triangular Society with the aim of overthrowing the Cupid Parliament as well as the Cupid Prime. (COMIC: *A Slight Misunderstanding*)

When the faceless magician's magic hat caused the Cupid Homeworld to be overwhelmed by a flood of white rabbits, the Cupid Prime ordered the Department of Problem-Solving to stay behind and solve the problem, before “hopp[ing] into his personal Fog Ship with all his entourage and [making] an interdimensional beeline for the utterly rabbit-free beaches of Hawaii”. (PROSE: *Magic Trick*) He extended his vacation by some time, ignoring the Department of Problem-Solving's summons three days later signalling that the Rabbit Invasion was over, and made his way to Florida. The Problem-Solvers searched unsuccessfully for him, and in the end, it was the Department of Stage Magic who found him by chance, having fled to Florida for their own reasons. (PROSE: *The Cupid Parliament Destroyed?*)

Similarly, when the Great Ghost's legion overran the Homeworld on the following Halloween, following a “hasty” Parliamentary vote, the Cupid Prime used the Emergency Transport Button, which had been entrusted to him by the Creator herself, to teleport all the Cupids save for himself to the Interdimensional Tavern. He, meanwhile, sent himself to “a safe and relaxing locale, far away from anywhere the ghosts could possibly reach”. (PROSE: *The Ghosts and the Machine*)
Cross-Dimensional Martial Arts Tournament

A Jenny Everywhere once participated in the **Cross-Dimensional Martial Arts Tournament**.While using her hard-light blade in Faerie in the Collapsed Cosmos, Jenny briefly experienced a flashback to an event of her life before the collapse of the Multiverse which saw her “taking on a super-alien blazing with power” in the context of the Tournament. (PROSE: *The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere*)
Department of Scrivening

The **Department of Scrivening** was a department of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' Intelligence Institute.

On the day of the faceless magician incident, its Prefect, Bartleby-853, had been participating in the Cupid Parliament's protracted debate on whose responsibility it was to refill the ink in Stenographer-123, tersely replying that his Department “would prefer not to” when Technophile-963 suggested that it should be their responsibility. The argument was soon cut short by the onslaught of magic rabbits, which forced the Cupids to evacuate the Cupid Parliament building, with their destruction of the typewriter rendering the earlier fight moot anyway. (PROSE: *Magic Trick*)
Department of Theology

The **Department of Theology** was one of the Departments of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids's Intelligence Institute.

They, the Department of Wizardry and the Department of Philosophy were puzzled by the apparent interchangeability of the Creator's biochemical Love Potion and its wholly supernatural equivalent created by Aphrodite herself. (PROSE: *The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids*)
Creed

In one universe, **Creed** was a human Paladin active in the modern day, who became the leader of O.O.P..

## Description

### Physical appearance

Creed was a broad-shouldered man of average height. He had tan skin, brown eyes and a small black goatee. He wore a necklave with a Christian cross around his neck, as well as bronze armour in a Greek style, including a helmet with a red feathered crest. (COMIC: *Adventurers and Heroes*)

### Personality

Creed was committed to his aims. He had some skill at leadership, spontaneously taking charge of the newly-formed O.O.P. and easily persuading the others to accept him as team leader. (COMIC: *Look At His Dead Eyes*) However, he was a poor strategist, neglecting practical options (such as using magic) because they didn't feel heroic enough. (COMIC: *Pseudo Junterling*)

## Biography

   After the Pope was abducted by impoverished Lich Emperor Junter, a team of adventurers gathered to rescue him. They had not previously been familiar with one another and, after they met at the ground floor of the apartment building where Junter resided with his sidekick Ibdis, (COMIC: *Adventurers and Heroes*) Creed took it upon himself to start off the introductions, also putting himself forward as team leader. With Bob not having the ability to speak, Creed introduced him, and loudly insisted that he was a dangerous rogue when the others reacted with skepticism to the idea that a balloon could be a valuable addition to the team. (COMIC: *Look At His Dead Eyes*)

   Creed suggested that “Plan A” be to send in a member of the team in disguise. Ignoring Sam's suggestion of using her magic to shapeshift a member of the team to look like Ibdis, he instead sent in Bob, posing as a Junterling. Naturally, Junter and the real Junterling saw right through the ruse. (COMIC: *Pseudo Junterling*) Bob was “killed”, and after Clear was distressed by his inability to hear him, Creed rubbed salt in the wound by mocking Clear's earlier professed belief that Bob was an inanimate object without thoughts or feelings. He was, himself, very moved by Bob's passing. (COMIC: *What Primal Helium?*)

    Meanwhile, Junter drew his own, equally-incompetent plans in retaliation, focusing on “the Paladin” especially, with him being the intended target of a booby trap he tried unsuccessfully to set up in the corridor. (COMIC: *Back To The Drawing Board*) When Creed shouted from the street at Junter, daring to come down and face the adventurers head-on, Junter punctured their confidence by pointing out their lack of ethnic and gender diversity to them, something which they had not previously noticed. (COMIC: *You Disgust Me!*) Ultimately, he fled with the rest of O.O.P. out of awkwardness. (COMIC: *Twist!*)
Contrafibulator

Jenny Everywhere once bought a **contrafibulator** from Sylvester Shoebill for twice the market price, not knowing that it was actually faulty. (PROSE: *The Grand Multiverse Hotel*)

## Behind the scenes

“Contrafibularity” was a nonsense word originally made up by Richard Curtis for *Blackadder*, and also used (in the form of “Friction contrafibulator”) in his *Doctor Who* script *Vincent and the Doctor (TV story)*. As *contra* means against and the *fibula* is one of the major bones of the leg, the word sneakily refers to “pulling someone's leg”. Hence, it appears that Sylvester Shoebill ironically deceived Jenny about the value of a ‘deceiving machine’.
Department of Technological Advancement

The **Department of Technological Advancement** was a department of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids which experimented with innovations to the technologies used by the Crew. They were responsible for the creation of the only know independently-intelligent Fog Ship, (PROSE: *The Case Against Conspiracy*) Pessimist's Fog Ship, (PROSE: *The Time of the Toymaker*) as part of a collaborative project with the Department of Transportation. (PROSE: *Pessimist and the Dromedaries*)
Department of Paradoxes

The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' Cupid Intelligence Institute had a **Department of Paradoxes**.

When a fistfight broke out between Paintbrush-122 and Sketchbook-430 in late 2019, Valerius-1497 commented that “one of them was probably lying about the other being the plagiarist — unless he wasn’t, in which case it was out of his hands and the Department of Paradoxes should be notified”. The Department of Boxing & Fistfighting was also notified but “wanted nothing to do with it” because both combatants were fighting dirty instead of following any proper rules of boxing. (PROSE: *Plagiarism of the SavageMen*)
Eighth Doctor

The **Eighth Doctor** was a version of the Doctor who existed in multiple universes.

Jenny Everywhere once noted that "some people" got into even more trouble than she did. For proof, she pointed to the Doctor’s TARDIS which, with supreme bad luck, was materialising in the middle of the very firing squad Jenny had just escaped in one universe. (COMIC: *The Late Shift*)

When Wednesday Addams entered the Eleventh Doctor's TARDIS in one universe, she had psychic visions of some his other selves, including one who “looked like Lord Byron”. (PROSE: *Wednesday and the Doctor*)

## Behind the scenes

Nothing in *The Late Shift* explicitly identifies the version of the Doctor featured. However, the story was released during Paul McGann's tenure as the current Doctor, making it the natural assumption that he was the one featured.

Defying the Dragon (comic story)

## *Defying the Dragon*

Title page of the story.

***Defying the Dragon*** was the a backup comic to Episode 3 of the *Journey Into Misery* subseries of the webcomic *The Cosmic Beholder*. Written and drawn by Paul Hoppe, it was released both in serialised webcomic form and in a limited print run.

Although Jenny Everywhere was a recurring character in *The Cosmic Beholder*, she played no part in this story, which instead introduced the Blue Knight. The comic presented itself as **Episode 264** of “***The Adventures of the Blue Knight***”, although no such series existed.

## Contents

### Plot

In Arthurian England, the Blue Knight, a mysterious knight-errant sporting magical blue armour given to them by Merlin himself, confronts a Dragon, demanding that he release a Princess. However, as the Knight engages the Dragon in battle, it transpires that the Princess actually eloped *with* the Dragon and has no intention of being rescued. Making her way to the top of a cliff overlooking the scene of the battle, she manages to roll a large boulder off the edge and onto the Knight — pinning the Knight in place even if the armour keeps the boulder from killing them. The Dragon and Princess resolve to move to some other, less judgmental land.

Cornelius Quartet

The ***Cornelius Quartet*** was a book by Michael Moorcock. Jenny Everywhere had a copy of it on her shelf in the Collapsed Cosmos. On Page 704, she once found an extract of *The Condition of Muzak* which she found strangely relevant to the state of the Collapsed Cosmos and the decay of the Multiverse:

It prompted further reflections from Jenny about what place the Multiverse occupied in the minds of the 21st-century people of the Collapsed Cosmos. (PROSE: *The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere*)

## Behind the scenes

In the introduction, Jeanne Morningstar cited the *Cornelius Quartet* as an inspiration for *The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere* itself.
D123-Blackheart's Smog Ship

**D123-Blackheart's Smog Ship** was a Smog Ship owned by D123-Blackheart of the Drove of the Demesmaekerite-Dyed Discordias.

A few years prior to 2019, she left it unattended during a mission on the Prime Earth and wandered off. After the other Discordias returned to the Discordia Dimension in their own Ships, capturing Discovery-664 of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, a team of Scarlet Wings Cupids led by Amity-965 found the abandoned Smog Ship near the scene of the crime and flew it back to the Discordia Dimension by pressing the “Home” button on the dashboard, unknowingly stranding Blackheart in the Prime Universe. (PROSE: *The Drove of the Demesmaekerite-Dyed Discordias*)
Complicated space-time event

In one universe, when Wednesday Addams entered the TARDIS, the ship detected that she was a **complicated space-time event**, somehow connected to multiple versions of her in other universes including a child who'd burned down a summer-camp, an adult living in L.A., and a lovelorn musical Wednesday. The Eleventh Doctor speculated that it was because of this status that a Weeping Angel had recently tried to feed on her. (PROSE: *Wednesday and the Weeping Angel*)

Department of Haberdashery

In the aftermath of the Rabbit Invasion of the Cupid Homeworld; an argument erupted over whether the Cupid Intelligence Institute's **Department of Haberdashery** should be held responsible fo the Hat, with Colonel-028 accusing them and Lord Thymon standing up for them. Sensing that they might just as easily come under suspicion, the Department of Stage Magic “quietly snuck off to Florida”. (PROSE: *The Cupid Parliament Destroyed?*)
Department of Conspiracy Theories

The **Department of Conspiracy Theories** was a department of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids of which Conspiracy-1263 was the Prefect until it was disbanded. (PROSE: *The Case Against Conspiracy*)

It was still active in 2019 when the Sisters of Juliet incident occurred. The Department put forward the idea that the entire situation had been engineered by the Cupid Parliament. (PROSE: *Of Romeos and Juliets*) A little later, Conspiracy made the headlines of *The Cupid Courier* Issue #1034 when he travelled to the Prime Earth to tell the Gang of the Green Gorilla, to their faces, that they were “a bunch of fakes in gorilla suits”. The Gorillas retaliated by capturing Conspiracy and leaving him tied up at a carnival on a rack of prizes. He was rescued by other Cupids and interviewed, with his observation that the Green Gorillas had been “rather displeased with the whole situation” being noted as a rare instance of a completely factual Conspiracy quote. (PROSE: *Conspiracy-1263 Publicly Accuses the Gang of the Green Gorillas*)
Everywhere (comic story)

## *Everywhere*

First & only page of the story.

***Everywhere*** was a comic strip in Vince Cipriano's webcomic *Beebleville* which featured Jenny Everywhere, created as part of a Stripfight.com game.

## Contents

### Plot

An armed Jenny Everywhere materialises in Beebleville in the house of Vince Beeble himself. Recognising her at once, Vince passive-aggressively thanks her for visiting the city but asks if she couldn't find somewhere else to shift than his own bathroom, next time.

### Worldbuilding

#### Universes

* This story takes place in Beebleville in one universe.

## Behind the scenes

### Read online

This strip was originally available on the *Beebleville* website. Although it has since gone online, it was saved on the Internet archive. It is also possible, but unconfirmed, that it was among the *Beebleville* strips released commercially in 2011 in the book *Beebleville*, which remains available for digital sales.
Codex Document

The **Codex Document** was a dangerous item on which the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids had a file. (PROSE: *The Case Against Conspiracy*)

## Behind the scenes

An ‘Incident Report’ on the Codex Document was indeed published on the *Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids* website over a year prior to *The Case Against Conspiracy*. However, it contained no Jenny Everywhere elements. The Document was described as a garbled document that was one of the few writings on the Collective of the Retconning Crocodiles in the Cupid Archives not to have been erased.
Department of Rifts

The **Department of Rifts** was a department of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' Cupid Intelligence Institute.

On April 29th, after the Blue Feather discovered that a Rift had opened in the Cupid Homeworld, leading to the headquarters of the Faction of the Fooling Fish in the Prime Universe, the Department of Rifts were called in. They managed to seal the Rift, but attempted to warn the Cupid authorities that it might reopen. It did a little while later, and the Department closed it yet again, but not before the Fooling Fish had caused some mischief in the Homeworld. (PROSE: *The Faction of the Fooling Fish*)
Department of Alchemy

The **Department of Alchemy** was one of the Departments of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids's Intelligence Institute.

After he lost the formula for the Love Potion, #257, who had been the Prefect of the Department of Chemistry, was transferred to the Department of Alchemy. (PROSE: *The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids*) Taking to alchemy, he took the name of Mandragora-257 and became disdainful of mere scientists. However, he disgraced again when one of his experiments went wrong, blowing up a warehouse and several Cupids with it. This led to his expulsion from the Department and exile to Morningstar 1. (PROSE: *The Resurrection of the Wellsians*)

As early as 2019, Pythagoras-858 was disinclined to often give much credit to the Department of Alchemy. However, when, after the Department of Problem-Solving's first encounter with Lord Thymon, they analysed a hairball he'd spit out upon being imprisoned by them, and declared that it was “the physical embodiment of a particularly hairy situation”, Pythe admitted that “that sounded about right”. (PROSE: *Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving*)
Destiny

Some universes were home to anthropomorphic personifications of **Destiny** or **Fate**.

## Biography

### Destiny of the Endless

In one universe, Destiny was one of the Endless — in fact, he was the oldest of the seven Endless, predating even Death. He held a Book which was in fact a part of his own being, and recorded every event that would ever take place in the Endless's dominion (which was suggested to include not a single universe but an entire multiversal cluster branching out of it, including all extant alternate histories of this universe). After the passage of time led to all sentient beings slowly dying out, and with them, the other Endless, Destiny became the second-to-last Endless and was finally taken by his sister Death, who was left as the last sentient being in the dead universe. (PROSE: *Psychopomp*)

## Behind the scenes

   As *Psychopomp* is a fanfiction crossing over Jenny Everywhere with the characters and world of *The Sandman*, the version of Destiny it heavily mentions is that featured in *The Sandman*, originally created in 1971 by Jack Kirby as the central figure and narrator of DC Comics' horror anthology comic series, *Weird Mystery Tales*, and retconned by Neil Gaiman as one of his creations the Endless.

Although this particular depiction of Destiny is copyrighted, the notion of an embodiment of destiny, often depicted as a prophet-like robed figure holding a book, is a public domain artistic motif. Indeed, two decades before Kirby's Destiny first appeared, a similar figure called “Fate” was used for the same purpose of “horror host” in an anthology title, by Ace Comics' *The Hand of Fate*; this character, unlike DC's later “Destiny”, is in the public domain.

Cthulhu

**Cthulhu** was a fictional eldritch being with an octopus for a head.

As the two grew up, Will Severn often told stories about Cthulhu to his younger sister Wendy. Upon meeting Jark Haine later in life, Wendy was superficially reminded of Cthulhu. (PROSE: *The Grand Multiverse Hotel*) Ibdis and Junter were also familiar with Cthulhu, referring to the unspeakable horror as “Cthulhu” (COMIC: *Cthulhu Toilet*) and “a Cthulhu monster”, respectively, on separate occasions. (COMIC: *Junter's Guide to Plumbing*)

In one universe, the Cthulhu Kid existed as an outlaw in the Wild West, having traits in common both with the conventional Cthulhu and with the Sundance Kid. (PROSE: *Showdown in the End Times*)

## Behind the scenes

The character of Cthulhu, created by H. P. Lovecraft, is himself in the public domain.

D123-Blackheart

**D123-Blackheart** was a Clockwork Cherub of the Drove of the Demesmaekerite-Dyed Discordias.

A few years prior to 2019, she left her Smog Ship unattended during a mission on the Prime Earth and wandered off. After the other Discordias returned to the Discordia Dimension in their own Ships, capturing Discovery-664 of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, a team of Scarlet Wings Cupids led by Amity-965 found the abandoned Smog Ship near the scene of the crime and flew it back to the Discordia Dimension by pressing the “Home” button on the dashboard, uknowingly stranding Blackheart in the Prime Universe.

An illustration of Blackheart holding a Discordia Apple was later used as the illustration for the Cupid Fact File on the Discordias. (PROSE: *The Drove of the Demesmaekerite-Dyed Discordias*)

Crys

In one universe, **Crys** was a school friend of Jenny Jacobs, the local incarnation of Jenny Everywhere. Crys once left Jenny a voicemail message to ask her for hel with their algebra homework, which she claimed was “making her head explode”. However, the message was heard by the newly-created Jenny Nowhere instead of its intended target, and the real Jenny ended up spending the evening fighting Nowhere, making it unlikely that Crys got the help she needed, at least on that day.
