Hi shippers! Welcome to Bonus Round 2.
Round Robin Fanadventures generated so much awesome stuff last year that we decided to bring it back!

For those who are new to HSO, this is not actually that complicated a concept, but it might be a little tricky to explain, so bear with me. The point of this round is to create a bunch of fanadventures that are for a team other than your own.

Rules

If you are starting a new adventure: start a new thread using the title format defined below. Include either text or 1-2 pieces of embedded art setting a scene (or both!), and finish with a command (==> does not count as a command for new threads). Then sit back and wait for someone else to contribute!
If you are continuing an adventure: find a thread that does not center around your team's ship. Then comment using the title format defined below. Include either text or 1-2 pieces of embedded art continuing the scene (or both!), and finish with a command (this can include ==>, though generally we would prefer otherwise). Then sit back and wait for someone else to contribute!
For ease of reading, we suggest using standardized image sizes. 600x400 landscape is a pretty good size! But as long as it's the same as the other images in the thread, people will have an easier time following along. The HTML for inserting images is <img src="http://yourimageurlhere.com">
For this challenge, there is no minimum wordcount. We are trusting you not to abuse that fact!
You may not comment twice in a row in one adventure. The point is to hand off the scene like a hot potato.
You may not introduce or create for your team's ship into a fanadventure. If someone else introduces your team's ship to a thread, you can still contribute to that thread so long as your contributions do not involve your ship.
This challenge will run until 11:59PM EDT July 7. After that time, even if it's just by a minute according to the LJ timestamp, no submissions will be accepted for points.

NOTES:

Audio posts are fine, so long as you include a transcript.
Please make sure to check that your titles are correct!
You may answer commands that have already been answered. Think of it like a 'choose your own adventure' game!

Title Format
If you are starting a new thread, use this format in your title.

Replace [THEIR SHIP] with the ship you want this particular fanadventure thread to be. Remember that you cannot create a fanadventure based on your own ship. Whatever ship you choose must be represented by a HSO team not your own. The only exception is gen adventures, which are permitted.
Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with. If your team name is not in this format and in the title it may not be counted.

If you are continuing a thread, use this format in your title.

Replace [COMMAND] with whatever command the previous fill has specified.
Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your title is not in this format it may not be counted.

Posts not using this format in the title will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, no matter what they contain. They, like all comments on the comm, are subject to the Wank Policy.

Scoring
(as stated here)
First 5 entries per team: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10: 20 (per entry)
Entries 11-15: 10 (per entry)
Entries 16+: 5 (per entry)

All fanadventure content must be created new for this round.

We would prefer that any questions about this challenge or anything else in the HSO be emailed to us at homestuck.shipping AT gmail!

Your name is Roxy Lalonde, and you feel like your hangover has a hangover.

This is why you should never agree to sleepovers at your best friend's house. No matter how much you love Janey, and no matter how awesome it is to be in the same time as each other, nothing good can come of spending that much time with someone who refuses to use alcohol for anything but cooking, and then never more than a splash.

But what Janey doesn't know won't hurt her, and while she's still sound asleep you're going to find some booze before your brain hammers its way out of your skull. And you think you know just the place to look if you don't want to be stuck with that salty cooking garbage!

Roxy: Enter Jane's Dad's study

Ah fuck, what a snooze fest. The room's filled with a bunch of Dad stuff, and none of that stuff is what you're looking for.

Dad's desk is to the right of the door when you enter and it's about as neat as the rest of the house. A couple of Batterwitch recipes are scattered on the top and you consider casually tossing them in the trash, but decide against it. This is parent territory, after all.

And it's not like you want to get on Mr. Crocker's bad side.

There's a sort of creepy mural on the opposite wall and it'd definitely freak you out if your head didn't hurt so much. You scan the rest of the room. He's gotta have booze hidden in here somewhere, right?

The safe in the corner of the room catches your eye. Jackpot! There's gotta be something in there!

Good think you're the 1337est hacker. Even the thickest of safes aren't able to resist your charm and twist of the finger!

Roxy: Crack open that sucker

You run through the usual combinations: Jane's birthday, 1234, then head for the more obscure shit. The safe isn't safe from your crack hack attack. There's only one way this can end, and that's with you swimming in a sea of hangover-free victory.

You wonder what could be in here. Batterwitch stuff? The secret recipe for Kentucky Fried Chicken? Maybe a hidden stash of the good stuff, complete with olives? Ooh, that sounds good. Way to go, Mr. Crocker, you think, and then remember that you haven't opened anything yet. Oops.

Still, Mr. Crocker's a pretty classy guy. You bet he's totally into martinis.

beep beep, the safe says. Huh? That's not supposed to happen. You squint at it. It's displaying... a countdown?

Roxy: Scram

You decide that waiting out this ominous countdown is not worth any amount of alcohol induced salvation. Suddenly, scoping out the kitchen for some nasty-ass cooking swill sounds like a damn fine idea. You hop back from the now-beeping safe and make to abscond.

Shit. Seems your safe has attracted some unwanted attention.

> Roxy: Hide under the desk.

You hear footsteps coming down the hall and dart under the desk. Its a tight fit, but you make it work. The light turns on in the room and you pull your legs and arms in as far back as you can to avoid being spotted. The footsteps approach the beeping safe, and after a few seconds, the beeping stops. You hold your breath while waiting for the person to leave.

Hm. They're not leaving.

Oh no, they're coming towards you!

Its definitely Mr. Crocker's feet, assuming that Jane doesn't wear a suit and sleepwalk.

He crouches down in front of the desk with a raised eyebrow.

> Mr. Crocker: Tell Roxy to come out.

When you heard the alarm you found her hidden underneath your desk, face flushed, fully aware that she’d been caught. You’re crouched down, hands mildly playing with the edge of the desk as you stare at her.

She doesn’t stay anything after a while, so you speak.

“Roxy, mind telling me what you’re doing under my desk?”

The cobwebs seem to brush away from her mouth, “Oh, haha, didn’t you know? This is where the party’s at,” she taps the desk, “Right here. Yep. You can’t find a better party.”

“Seems a little small for a party.”

“Small parties are good too!” You raise an eyebrow at her. She smiles sheepishly and crawls out, smoothing her skirt once she’s standing.

“I was looking for the bathroom—”

“—and you found my safe?” you finish. She turns red. You squash down the part of you that enjoys it.

“Okay, okay. I’m sorry Mister Crocker! I was… I was curious, I guess. I shouldn’t have looked.”

You stare at her for a little while and she fidgets. Right as you can sense she’s feeling about ready to abscond, you allow yourself to smile.

“Maybe you applied it incorrectly, but you shouldn’t apologize for being curious. It’s a sign that you’re growing up, becoming a very perceptive young woman.”

She gasps, as if surprised by the praise. You wonder if it’s just yours or praise in general, but you continue, “Knowing when to walk away from things that are not meant for you is also a sign of growing up. But, just this once, I think… do you want to see what’s inside the safe?”

Her eyes are even wider than before. “Woah, shit. I mean, shoot. Seriously?”

“Seriously.”

She looks at the safe, looks back at you and nods.

>Dad: Show her your treasure
