7	After their deaths in the famous Shakespearean tragedy ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'', William Rosencrantz and Anne Guildenstern find themselves [[FishOutOfTemporalWater flung forward to the present day]], and quickly discover that they are now immortal and can [[TimeTravel travel through time]] to any point in history, except for their original time period and, for some strange reason, Christmas Day, 2050 - apparently the day [[ApocalypseHow the world ends]], because on December 26, 2050, everything has been reduced to ruin.

9	In order to ground them in a sense of reality, Rosencrantz decides to enroll himself and Guildenstern in a modern, upper-class high school, where the two of them meet friends, enemies, and try to experience some semblance of a normal life... while not going on adventures and meeting [[BeenThereShapedHistory famous historical figures]], of course. However, Rosencrantz has a deeper motivation for doing this than he originally lets on, as he has reason to fear immortality could take its toll on his and Guildenstern's sanity, although Guildenstern [[ObfuscatingStupidity isn't entirely clueless about this, either]]...

11	Written by Creator/{{Merryweatherey}} (of ''Webcomic/IMadeAComicAboutInternetExplorer'' and ''Webcomic/{{Stalker x Stalker}}'' fame) and illustrated by [[https://twitter.com/pcmaniac88?lang=en PeaCh,]] ''Everywhere and Nowhere'' is one of Merryweathery's lesser-known works, featuring a different artist than his usual partner Princess Hinghoi. Nevertheless, it's also one of his more plot-heavy comics, and has significantly more episodes and a more frequent update schedule than either ''Internet Explorer'' or ''Stalker x Stalker.'' The entire comic can be found on [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/comedy/everywhere-and-nowhere/list?title_no=1598 Webtoon]], and has a surprisingly frequent update schedule, with new episodes released every Wednesday and Sunday.

16	* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:The Evil Future Rosencrantz.]]
17	* ApocalypseHow: One of the series's mysteries is why the world gets destroyed on Christmas Day 2050. It's Guildenstern and Rosencrantz's own fault, [[spoiler:in a way. The world is destroyed in a battle between Adam, aka [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy William Shakespeare]], and the evil Future Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. This is apparently a constant and cannot be changed in any timeline.]]
18	** [[spoiler:Future Rosencrantz triggers a separate apocalypse when he breaks time, causing monsters to appear from the void and destroy the world.]]

[[spoiler:Or at least, they ''shouldn't'' be able to...]]
