Bonus Round 5

Tales from the Road

Hey, shippers! HSO is winding down, so we thought we'd take a look back at the journey, so to speak. With that in mind, this next bonus round is going to be roadtrip-themed! Give us a little taste of your characters' life on the road, whatever form that takes.

Rules

1. Submit prompts! Prompts should consist of one ship (friendship/gen is fine too!) and a location. This cannot be your team's ship! This round we will not be giving points for prompts.


2. Look through the prompts and fill whichever you like!


3. You may not fill prompts for your ship, nor may you fill your own team's prompts.


4. Fills should be posted as replies to the prompts which they are for, following the format below. They may be any medium.

Title Format
If you are starting a new thread, please use this format in your title.
PROMPT: TEAM [YOUR SHIP]
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 you are filling a prompt, use this format in your title.
FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP]
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 we cannot guarantee that it will 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
For fills (as stated here):
First 5 entries in each post: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10 in each post: 20 (per entry)
Entries 11-15 in each post: 10 (per entry)
Entries 16+ in each post: 5 (per entry)

All scored content must be created/assembled new for this round.

If you have any questions, please ask them at the FAQ post here, or email them to us (homestuck.shipping at gmail). Otherwise, we cannot guarantee that we will see them in a timely fashion!

TT: You ready?

She looked down off the edge of one of the many mansions filled with hundreds of exiles gathered around her, wondering what sort of spectacle she would put on. She heard quiet muttering amongst them, but didn't try to decipher what they were saying.

One small carapace child walked up to her and tugged on her skirt, as if to ask what she's doing. She just turned and patted them on the head, as if to say it will all be okay.

TT: It's now or never.

He stood on his roof, watching the seagulls flying, squawking, together. He looked back and gave a small salute to his faithful robots. They nodded back. He fondly touched his sunglasses and said goodbye to Auto-Responder, and left him on the roof.

TG: remmeber to hold yoru breath
TG: *w/e

As she teetered on the edge, and the carapaces began to understand what she was about to do. They elbowed, pulled, and pushed each other, trying to get someone to stop her. The little child next to her didn't understand, and so they let go of her skirt.

TT: Make sure no exiles follow after you.

He turned around and studied the tower, making sure he would remember this image after he was gone. Usually Sawtooth and Squarewave would have begun a rap battle, and AR would be rattling off, but they could sense the tension in the air.

TT: On 3.
TG: !...
TT: 2
TG: 3,,,

They simultaneously took deep breaths and plunged into the icy water, one swan-diving, the other doing a cannonball. They held their breaths despite their instinct to return to the surface and breathe sweet, sweet air. She counted back from one thousand and thought about what it would be like to hold him, to feel warm flesh besides her own. He thought about holding her, hugging her, kissing her; and that was enough to make him determined to hold his breath.

When they woke up on Derse, they both woke up in a cold sweat. He immediately went to her tower and found her wandering around her room, a room that was both simultaneously familiar and new.

He grabbed her a held her soaking up the warmth and feeling of an living, breathing human being.

(sorry that I made it sadder than you probably wanted.)
