This is the one where we kick back, stop worrying so much about what's happening in the adventure (since it's over) and talk about how we created the characters/setting, adapting an adventure published in 1990 to a 2022 context, cultural issues in portrayal that specifically involve the US Southwest, and give a bunch of information about what we were thinking and feeling as the adventure was going on.

A sudden manifestation of potent supernatural abilities on the part of Jazz puts the sisters back on the right foot, at least for the time being, as the two join forces to attack the alien foe who's been stalking them throughout Cozy Caverns.  They've put almost all of the pieces together, but now they need something even more important than the truth: a plan!

Jazz's date goes about as poorly as Dani's went well, perhaps even worse, but it's fun to watch that trainwreck happen in real time.  Things get far more exciting once the date is done, to the point where the sisters find themselves menaced several times by the shadowy figure that's been stalking their trail!  Don't miss the bone-crushing excitement!

With their dates fast approaching, Jazz and Dani are digging up as much information as possible, but will a freak-out underground spell disaster for a promising evening?  Or will the D'Amore sisters take their lumps as they come and try to make the best out of what turns out to be a sticky situation?

The D'Amore sisters are certainly keeping busy on their trip!  A meeting with D. Frisbee reveals a whole glut of information about some of the stranger goings-on that've taken place within bucolic Cozy Caverns, and a mine tour with ol' Tom goes south fast when Dani ends up finding something she really wishes she hadn't in the cool caverns below the little town with the most warmth!

It's an incredibly full day for the D'Amore sisters as the town's in the midst of the Cactus Festival!  Dani's experiences prompt Jazz to have the both of them do more digging into the weirdness that seems to surround Cozy Caverns, and the two find out some vital information, but the real burning question is: what's a gal have to do to get a date around this sleepy little town?

Another dream of Dani's leads to revelations and ramifications, while Jazz's jog leads to a terrifying situation!  There aren't any romantic parts in this one and you're not meeting any hunks, we can assure you of that!  Suspicious behavior abounds with those in authority, and secrets are slowly revealing themselves, but at least you can count on Milena's cooking over at the Prickly Pear.

After Dani's weird dream from the night before and Jazz's unusually invigorating morning run, the D'Amore sisters hit the town of Cozy Caverns for a day of shopping and relaxing!   After narrowly avoiding one hunky close encounter and picking up some reading material, the gals do lunch and then hit the library, where Dani's tongue hits the floor and Jazz's personal self-restraint is pushed to its limits!  The excitement dies down a little bit around nighttime, but an explosive late-night confession throws everything the sisters know for a loop!
