BONUS ROUND 1
Bonus Round 1
Genre-Mixing
Hey, shippers! Welcome to your very first bonus round proper--we hope you have lots of fun with it! This time around we're going to be asking you to mix it up a little--each fanwork posted for this round will be a mish-mash of two different genres, blended together in a delightful incestuous slurry to create an UNSTOPPABLE CREATIVE CONCOCTION--er. Or. Something.
Yeah, we're genre-mixing. That's what we're doing this round.
Rules
- Submit prompts! Prompts should consist of two different genres and one ship. This cannot be your team's ship! These are worth 5 points each, for a maximum of 100 points per team.
- Look through the prompts and fill whichever you like!
- You may not fill prompts for your ship, nor may you fill your own team's prompts.
- Fills should be posted as replies to the prompts which they are for, following the format below. They may be any medium.

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.
If you are filling a prompt, use this format in your title.
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.

FILL: TEAM ERIDAN <3 KARKAT

Her shoes made clicking noises on the cleaned floor as she just walked through the clinically white hallways on her way to the next workplace. With a few necessary documents in her arms, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
The noise of child laughter penetrated her ears.
It seemed like someone had forgotten to close the door so that it may be quiet for everyone else who needed a bit more silence. At the same time, she knew that it would be a welcome change to the routine, especially for the children in her department of the hospital; it wasn't even for certain that they will still have a hope at all. Well, her next task was not so pressing that she couldn't afford to look after her little patients and to find out the reason for the background noise.
Rose Lalonde looked into the room and saw a young man, surrounded by children who looked at him with amazement in their eyes. He had black hair as well as black glasses which were far too big for his eyes though and obviously designed to be part of a comical outfit. He also had a huge plastic nose on, with the matching huge mustache attached to it as well as... was this a blue pajama with a long pointed cap?
A laughter inevitably slipped away at the sight in front of her which however also drew the attention of the young man on her.
"Oh hello!"he greeted her with a joyful voice, "Come on in, Doctor!" "Do you mean me?",the fair-haired woman asked back but it didn't make any appearance that she wanted to retire. She didn't see any reason for that, not now that she had gotten curious now. She especially wanted to know what was up with this weird costume of his.
"Yes,of course I mean you. I am John Egbert." "Rose Lalonde" "I think I have something for you right here, Rose." He pulled a rose which he held out to the young woman. Astonished, Rose looked at him when she accepted the flower.
Suddenly water splashed into her face; she looked at him surprised while John just broke out into laughter from the look in her face. "You have been fully taken in by it! Have you children seen this?"
The children almost screamed with laughter from the look on the face of the doctor who mopped the water away from her face. She had apparently encountered a considerable prankster.
She wanted to make a sarcastic remark, however, she was held back when she saw the happy faces of the children.
"Can I invite you for a coffee once you are finished here?" The question slipped out before she was conscious that she had asked it.
"Sure "he grinned at her with this kind look," but only if there is no cake to this. I hate cake."

They sat there with a cup of coffee in the hands.
He radiated so much zest for life that he also could share with others and she wondered in what the sense of it lay.
"And do you like your job?" He took a sip before he laughed. "Yes, with pleasure. It is nice to see the joy in the faces of the children." "I only wonder what good this all is for." "What do you mean by that?"
"It only is that all of us live to die. And if this one life is all that we have, then we people live only for a ridiculously short moment. Between birth and death there is a ridiculous small period of time. Before, there was the big nothing, and afterwards there is also a big nothing. So why laugh? Why suffer and why... live?" "Simply for the life's sake. I laugh because I can do it and it makes me happy. Whom does the big nothing concern if one could be happy at least once?"
And Rose Lalonde knew that she still would learn much from John Egbert.
