This was really intended to be the start of a whole road-trip mismatched-buddy type plotline that ended up with the girls battling sleazy criminals in GMY before heading home.

One's a green-skinned alien pleasure slave. The other's a resurrected Victorian banshee. Together they solve crimes.

Well, see... Now I want the rest of that story, where as before I just happily assumed they yelled at JJJ and came home. It actually does work quite fine as a stand alone character piece. Or maybe I just feel that way because I usually duck out of stories right before things actually happen...
