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 JADE HARLEY and boy, are you lost! You were on quite an ADVENTURE with your cooky old GRANDPA. But you two go separated. It's a good thing you know how to take care of yourself, or else you might actually be worried! Though, it still is a bit worrisome in these woods, Grandpa says all sorts of strange creatures reside here... you can only imagine what those creatures may be.

That, and it feels like you're being watched. Which is definitely not cool!

> Jade: Investigate surrounding area

You stare suspiciously into the forest. There are some lovely shrubs and trees here and there, but no sign of animal life. While you're pretty sure this place doesn't have any lions, tigers, or bears (oh my!!) you can never be too careful.

For one thing, your grandpa would never let you hear the end of it if you got attacked. You love him to pieces, but he's always nagging you about being prepared! YES you remembered to bring your gun! No you don’t need a bigger one!! No no no NO this gun is just fine what are you even talking about!!! You can’t even lift his gun, why would you even think about bringing it!!!!!

But wait, what’s that?! While you were busy remembering grandpa’s STERN LECTURES, you nearly missed the rustle in the trees. Something there definitely just moved!

==> Jade: Whip out your trusty rifle!

Hopefully you're in for an encounter with a friendly woodland creature, but you've got a hunch you won't be!

JADE: hey asshole! you better get your butt out here before you get a face full of rifle!!!!

==>Davesprite: Weigh pros and cons of getting your butt out there.

You carefully assess the situation and decide upon a sensible course of action.

> Davesprite: Get butt out there.

You get your ass out of the tree and float into the rifle girl's field of vision. You hold your hands up. That's what you're supposed to do in these situations, right?

DAVESPRITE: dude is there anywhere a bird guy can sleep without being assaulted

Edited ("Field of vision" makes more sense than "vision" here.) 2012-06-26 13:08 (UTC)

You look at the bird-man in front you. You have never saw something like this! You think that maybe nobody has saw creatures of all the sizes and colors like you do, or at least nobody had lived to count it.
Though, you don't leave your guard down, this orange and fluffy monster is still an unknown specimen.

DAVESPRITE: look girl i dont want any trouble ok
DAVESPRITE: im just an average monster of the hoods so yeah
DAVESPRITE: lets chill out a little

Davesprite: Chill out with brat girl
