The Return of Round Robin Fanadventures

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

1. 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!
   
2. 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!
   
3. 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">
   
4. For this challenge, there is no minimum wordcount. We are trusting you not to abuse that fact!
   
5. You may not comment twice in a row in one adventure. The point is to hand off the scene like a hot potato.
   
6. 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.
   
7. 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.
New [THEIR SHIP] Game (FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP])
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.
[COMMAND] (FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP])
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!

New Disciple<3Sufferer Game (FILL: TEAM ARADIA<3EQUIUS)

[daemon_sheep]

You are THE DISCIPLE, and you are about to rendezvous with your matesprit. It’s been a while since you two have talked, what with him being busy leading the resistance and all. Caring far too much for your wellbeing, he requested that you and THE DOLOROSA stay behind and support him from the sidelines. Normally you would argue, but he seemed COMPLETELY RESOLVED to keep you safe. It was a noble action.

You creep slowly through the underbrush within the forest, careful not to make a sound. THE CONDESCE was being very careful now, and guards were situated at VARIOUS POINTS on Alternia, some STRATEGIC, but most placements being JUST PLAIN RANDOM. You think that this was intentional though; maybe The Condesce wants to keep her opponents on their toes.

You near an area where the forest begins to thin and you stop dead in your tracks.

THE SUFFERER, your matesprit, is in the clearing, but there are others with him. Two blue bloods and a sea dweller, an anomaly in this area. See, this is exactly what you meant. JUST PLAIN RANDOM.



The sea dweller seems to be inspecting The Sufferer’s sickle as the blue bloods hold him down. He was in trouble, and if you didn’t act soon he’d be culled pretty soon no doubt.

What will you do?

==> Disciple: Leap into action.

=> Disciple Leap into Action (FILL: TEAM Karkat <3 Nepeta)

[pixii_stixx]

You leap into action, and throw your body full force into one of the blue bloods. Unfortunately he is STRONGER than he appears and you fall to the ground, venom still coloring your cheeks. Your heart races as you scramble to your feet ready to protect your beloved matesprit.

You stand up and hold your head high. Maybe you can come up with a good lie to keep them from your inspecting your matesprit further.

==> Come up with an excuse.
