Bonus Round 2

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 Dirk<3Jake game (FILL: TEAM BRO<3DAD)

[wildlinguist]

Your name is DIRK STRIDER and you have a HOT DATE tonight. Well, more like a bro-outing. But a guy can dream can't he? Your best bro JAKE ENGLISH needs you to join him for the newest BLOCKBUSTER HIT that just came out. It looks stupid, but you'll go anyways. It's hard to say no to that face. You are taking one of your famous INFINITE SHOWERS to get your thoughts in order. The movie doesn't start for a few more hours so you have plenty of tim- WOAH LOOK AT THE TIME. Looks like you spaced out for longer than you thought.

==> Dirk: Get the fuck out of the shower.

Dirk: Get the fuck out of the shower. (FILL: Alchemiter FRUITY RUMPUS)

[cephalopod]

You most definitely do not get out of the shower, you have a reputation to uphold and someday you will damn well succeed in draining the ocean all by yourself. It's a matter of principle. You stay RIGHT THERE. You give the ol' ass and pits another scrub, because you never know.

What are you going to miss, anyway? The twenty minutes of commercials before the previews? The previews for more Jake movies? A chance to get your snog on before he's ensnared by the artfully-crafted work of cinema?

>DIRK: Seriously, get the fuck out.

>DIRK: Seriously, get the fuck out (FILL: Dirk<3Jake<3Jane<3Roxy)

[playerprophet]

Nah. You're sure if anyone needs you, your trusty auto-responder has it under control.



Besides, this is a big night for you. You need to plan your strategy. If you're clever you could maneuver this bro outing into date territory.

DIRK: Okay, no really. Get out of the shower.

DIRK: Okay, no really. Get out of the shower (FILL: TEAM BRO<3GRANDPA)

[macca44552]

Fine. You turn off the water and get out of the--



Oh what the fuck. The door's jammed. And you have a feeling you know how--you're going to kill Squarewave when you see him. If he makes you late for your brodate...

Nah, it's fine. You can handle this.

>Dirk: Attempt to climb over the top.

Dirk: Attempt to climb over the top. (FILL: TEAM JOHN<3ROSE)

[threeley]

OK. You can do this. You just gotta get a little creative here and be very careful about your footing. Maybe if you just kinda balanced yourself on the ledge around the shower, you could... OK, maybe you just need a little more traction. Damn slippery walls.

You wonder how hard you would have to hit the door to break it off.

Dirk: Think of a better idea.

> Dirk: Think of a better idea. (FILL: TEAM JOHN<3ROSE)

[para_normally]

Time to enter survival mode. Tacky festive survival mode.

You riffle through your strife deck and come up with a particularly portly FANCY SANTA. This guy always had a kind of smug douchey face that a merry twinkle in a glass eye could never fully eclipse. You won't be sorry to sacrifice him.

Also, you're bound to be really damn late by now and you figure that you can always just replace the glass you're presently intent on possibly destroying.

You step back, careful not to slip on the wet porcelain. You're already starting to have second thoughts about potentially covering your bathroom floor with broken glass, but whatever, the upcoming brodate is worth a little pain. You can handle it.

Probably.

You lob a meaty Kris glass-ward.

> Dirk: Break door off?????

>DIRK: Seriously, get the fuck out. (FILL: TEAM EQUIUS<3GAMZEE)

[brightgray]

Fine, you get out of the shower. Some of the steam conveniently bunches up and covers your privates until you get your towel. That was pretty nice of it.

You eventually get ready for your da- you mean bro-outing. You don't need to do anything with your hair though. It always turns out perfect anyhow.

Always.

>Dirk: Check the time.
