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!

You look around frantically. No bowls. No containers. Where are you supposed to put this thing? Unless...no....

You run over quickly and decide you have no other choice. There are no other options.

>Dave: Put the fish in the toilet.

Edited 2012-06-25 09:14 (UTC)

There. Now that the fish is in the toilet, you can finally clean the bowl. In the meantime, the fish seems to rather enjoy being in there, but of course, this is only temporary.

The fish is safe in there, right?

>Dave: Do not accidentally flush the toilet

Easy peasy. No way you'd accidentally flush the toilet, that would make you a moron. Nope, no flushing any innocent fish here.

> Feferi: Call and check on Dave.

You are now Feferi, who has been having a ton of fun at the beach pretending to be a shark attacking your friends from beneath the waters!

At least, you were, until a few too many people took the cries of "the shark has my ankle!!" seriously and you were given a very stern talking to by a lifeguard. You think the guy was blowing things way out of proportion, you were just having some fun! Though now that you're taking a break, it's the P-ERC)(F-ECT OPPORTUNATY to check on your dumb human boyfriend.

He is really dumb but that is what you pitylove about him.

FEFERI: )(i Dave )(i!! Are you still alive?
DAVE: barely hanging in there
DAVE: the toaster nearly ate my hand earlier and i almost fell into an endless pit of hellfire that spontaneously opened up and consumed most of the hallway
DAVE: because you know i can barely survive sitting in a house on my own
DAVE: seriously i should be asking you that question youre the one flirting with the shallow edges of an endless pit of hellwater
DAVE: oh wait i forgot you wrestle killer whales for fun
FEFERI: T)(at was ON-E TIM-E you jerk!
DAVE: it only takes one time to get a lifelong ban from seaworld
FEFERI: Okay but s)(ut up!! I am just checking on you.
FEFERI: I'm R-E-ELY SORRY you couldn't come wit)( us, Dave!
FEFERI: I don't want you to get lonely! I know )(ow you are, you glub up a storm about )(ow you don't need anybody and t)(en w)(en you're left alone you try and fis)( for any kind of company you can get!
DAVE: this conversation is heading somewhere really fucking dumb so yeah thanks bye have fun
FEFERI: WAIT WAIT WAIT! Okay, I will let you be ALL ALON-E in peace, silly boy.
FEFERI: Now t)(at I t)(ink about it, t)(oug)(, you're not actually alone, are you!
DAVE: what
FEFERI: I'm talking about little Mr. Magikarp, du)(!!! You guys are getting along, rig)(t?

> Dave: Approach the subject of your girlfriend's fish calmly and rationally

Edited 2012-06-26 03:12 (UTC)

You stand and lean on the toilet, watching the fish circle around the toilet bowl.

DAVE: oh yeah just great
DAVE: dudes great conversation
DAVE: im like how bout them bears, fish?
DAVE: and hes like theyre gonna eat me
DAVE: except not because hes a...

DAVE: ...
FEFERI: )(ello eart)( to DAV-E!

Tragedy: Inevitably strike.

You turn around and look around the room for an idea of what to say.

...

Something tells you that you really don't want to turn back around.

>Dave: Get your shit together and respond to Feferi.

Edited 2012-06-26 11:10 (UTC)

Dave: because hes a fish
Dave: and bears dont swim
Dave: safe from bears
Dave: yeah
Dave: yeah
Dave: i have to go the fish is calling me look at that

You quickly hang up on her and turn around. HOW is that even possible? You're flipping shits all over the place, what do you do?

> Dave: Go to the store and get a new fish.

You can't just go get another fish. Your girlfriend is a fishgirl, remember? She has like. Special fishy powers, or something. There's no way she's not going to notice a random replacement fish.

Shit. If she finds out you couldn't even take care of her stupid fish while she was at the beach, you're pretty sure your alien-fish-girlfriend-having privileges will be immediately revoked. You kind of like those privileges.

Alright. Time to pull out the big guns.

...whatever those are. Maybe you can find that evil toilet fish and make it throw up Feferi's fish? Do fishes even have gag reflexes?

Oh god, how long do you even have before Feferi gets back? Oh god. You are totally not freaking out. Freaking out is simply not a thing that you do.

Wait. You've got this.

> Dave: Go back in time to prevent tragedy from inevitably striking.

You bring forth your turntables in order to go back in time.

As you're about to turn them, someone appears behind you.

In fact, they're humbly poking your shoulder, who could this gentleman be?

??: hey

FDAVE: drop those turntables right away mister
FDAVE: just
FDAVE: dont.

You manage to nod before he falls over. Great, now you have to get rid of a dead Dave and a killer whale, too.

>Dave: Plan B

Plan B? There is no plan B! You're doomed, more doomed than the doomed you, may he rest in peace. Maybe you should just tell her, or at least try to.

> Dave: Contemplate on telling your girlfriend.

Shit, you might just have to do that. Damn it, you really don't want to do that. There's got to be a solution.

Wait.

Wait. You got this shit.

Right! Just got to go back in time and stop yourself from overfeeding the stupid fish! Why the hell did you ever think it was a good idea to fight sewer whale anyway? Why was that there in the first place? You decide to ask Feferi what she's been doing to your plumbing after fixing this shit.

>Dave: Do the time warp again.

(sorry i ran out of space in the title) (edit: i feel really dumb i responded to the wrong spot)
> Dave: Approach the subject of your girlfriend's fish calmly and rationally.
You got this, you can do this.

Dave: yeah of course
Dave: me and mr magicarp are the best of bros
Dave: hanging out
Dave: watching movies
Dave: playing video games
Dave: for a fish hes pretty good
Dave: ive had my ass handed to me so many times
Dave: so sweet
Dave: but yeah i fed him and hes swimming around in his bowl
Dave: as we speak he is swimming around
Dave: in his bowl

> Feferi: Roll eyes at boyfriend.
