The infinity room is where things go in the blue strip when they're sent to a point in spacetime that doesn't exist, in order to prevent paradoxes. It is a finite rectangular space that is by default the size of a room, but can expand to accommodate anything inside it, and exists for as long as anything is inside it, starting at the time the thing or things appear. When something is sent to the infinity room, it always appears at the moment the room comes into existence. However, the strip in which this happens is completely undefined, save for the fact that it has to be one with a higher index number than the strip the object departed from. So if an object is sent from strip 50 to (a nonexistant) strip F900, it might appear in the infinity room in strip 51, 60, 62, 993, 4008, or all of the above, and since only the final version of a timeline counts, the infinity room will sporadically reset to the moment something entered it, as each new timeline aborts the previous one. This is particularly problematic if you're inside it, because the fact that your timeline "doesn't count" negates any changes you made to anything outside the timeline, including changes to the definition of the infinity room, the rules about timelines, what counts, or the order rules are applied in. If you join another timeline (say, the timeline of the strip proper), then when the infinity room resets, that timeline will be reset to the point before you joined. The King and the artist never actually fixed this problem, they simply respond to every reset by re-resetting to the state immediately before the reset. The conversation goes roughly as follows (but ends somewhat differently every time): [the King appears in a puff of magic and the artist appears in a time machine] --- King: Oops. Artist: We're in the infinity room. King: I know that! --- [the artist is drawing a strip viewer on the wall] King: Actually, this is a good base of operations... it's outside time and space... Artist: It's a lost-and-found. I'm surprised the friz isn't in here looking through a bunch of mittens. King: Draw a strip viewer. Artist: That's what I'm doing. --- King: What strip are we on? Artist: I'm reading from when victoria and that wizard were resurrected. King: Go to strip 700. Artist: Would you like your own viewer? --- [they continue reading] --- King: Still in 712... why didn't that narration work, though? Was it because— Artist: Hold on. Something's... --- King: Well, that looked like it worked, so why are we here again? [...] King: This isn't the second iteration either, is it? [...] King: Copy me a viewer, you're going too fast now. --- [Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V] Artist: Every time this restarts, it takes us longer to diverge from the previous version. King: In this one it resets— Artist: Oh, do a "Much Later", we're wasting canvas. King: I think better when I have strip focus. Artist: We're not going to have any original thoughts until we catch up with the comic. --- Fine. MUCH LATER --- [the artist is browsing 4chan, there's a third strip viewer, alger is behind a small desk with a mess of papers on it, an adjar, crudely colored-in door reading CASTLE KITCHENS is now present on the wall, and the King is holding a half-eaten sandwich] King: And lo, once again the world was magically restored to its shining state before the current infinity room reboot, because we still don't care enough to fix the time rules for real.
