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 [Alpha!Dave<3Dirk] Game (FILL: TEAM [Bro<3Grandpa])

[apollosglare]

Your name is DAVE STRIDER, and your younger brother is KIND OF A COMPLETE WEIRDO. But that's only the half of it.

You mean, sure. You're not really home that often, so it's kind of strange for when you are, but does he have to follow you around and stare at you like that? It's really kind of unnerving. You figure you could just ignore it, but you're not too sure how much good that would do...

> Dave: Try ignoring your creeping brother.

> Dave: Try ignoring your creeping brother. (FILL: TEAM FEFERI<3JADE)

[nomyriad]

You try, but jesus christ is he a persistant kid. He's really taking irony to new creepy levels.

Eventually you end up lounging on the couch, flicking idly though TV channels. From the corner of your vision you can still see him lingering.



Is this some sort of game? Of who will crack first under the silent, awkward tension building? There's no way you're going to be the first back down.

...Still, you do hope that he would just say something real soon.

> Dirk: Say something.

==> Dirk: Say Something (FILL: TEAM JAKE<3JOHN)

Your creeper's gambit is fit to burst.

It'd been too long between his last visit. Somewhere in between, you'd realized you liked guys. And now he came back as the most attractive guy you knew. You couldn't help but just follow him around for a bit. How had it slipped your notice that you were related to such an incredibly good-looking guy?

Not that you ever thought he was ugly; you just hadn't found him particularly attractive as you obviously do now.

Maybe you should get out more.

But if there's anything you need to get out now, it's words. He keeps glancing back behind those aviators. You can tell he's trying to be discrete, but it's not really working. He's too off-put by your creeper-tude. Time to fix that.

"Sup?" you manage. Internally, you smack yourself. Yeah, that was probably cool enough for Mr. Hollywood here, but you know you'll have to come up with some other conversation somehow. Ugh, of all the times to be an awkward teenager, why now?!

==>Dave: Try to Bro-Bond
