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!

As much as you’d love to try something new, you’ve pretty much expawsted all your options in this horrible place! Well… all except one.

You’ve never been to the dark part of the city before. Every time you’ve thought about going, your meowrail’s voice would pop into your head, telling you that it was too dangerous, telling you not to be reckless.

But now there’s nothing else to be! You’re alone, dead, your friends are gone… maybe it’s time to take a risk.

>Nepeta: Explore dark part of the city.

You're really nervous about going into there though! It's so dark and scary!
... But you don't really have any choice unless you want to wander around here for who knows how much longer. You slowly enter the dark part of the city...

Wait.
Why do you feel funny?

What's happening?

>Nepeta: OH GOD WHATS HAPPENING PANICPANICPANIC

It's really dark! You suppose that you should have expected that from the dark part of the city, but you never could have expected it to become dark so suddenly.

You tremble in fear for a few minutes, but when nothing changes, you find yourself relax. Cats shouldn't be scared of the dark, after all!

Your eyes begin to adjust to the dim light, and you can make out another person! Now who on earth could they be?

> Go talk to them!

Nepeta is reaching out toward the figure, only to have it turn to her. it is Calliope, and she is very dead and sad looking. Nepeta is surprised by a face she doesn't recognize and recoils in fear.

Oh!

That's not one of your furends.

Still, she looks lonely. And as dead as you. Being dead is no fun at all, and she is the first… person you've seen in so long.

You decide to talk to her anyway.

AC: :33 < hello!
AC: :33 < whats your name?
UU: my name?
UU: oh.
UU: Um.
UU: i'm not qUite Used to giving oUt my trUe name.
UU: bUt,
UU: i think i woUld like if yoU called me callie.
AC: :33 < okay
AC: :33 < hi callie!
AC: :33 < my name is nepeta!
AC: :33 < *ac bravely holds her hand out as a gesture of friendship in this first m33ting*
UU: ^u^

UU: hello nepeta!
UU: oh dear, i was not expecting this.
UU: i apologize if this is a bit too forward, but i do believe i have read all about yoUr adventUres. :u
UU: are yoU trUly the famed rogUe of heart?

> Nepeta: wonder who this mystery person is and how she knows about you.
