Bonus Round 2

The Return of Round Robin Fanadventures

Comments have been screened; we will be tallying the points over the next 48 hours or so, after which we will unscreen the comments. Comments have been unscreened! You may continue the fanadventures on this post as long as you like, though we will not be awarding further points.

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!

> Character Select: Eridan or Karkat.

> Select: Eridan: Tell of a spunky boy.

Your name is ERIDAN and you are the next in line to the throne of EAST HEAVEN KINGDOM, or you WERE until your sister FEFERI decided that you were too selfish or something to take over. She kicked you off the throne.

Your PRIMARY WEAPON is a gun but you're a master in the art of ~~MAGIC~~ SCIENCE. Your sister on the other hand had a nasty relic of unimaginable power. You'll show her, you'll get one better than hers.

After two years you finally had some luck and you hitched a ride on a boat to the city of CARONA. Since then a series of events have happened.
1.) You saw a hot guy on the boat.
2.) You fell off the boat and nearly drowned, and were then saved by someone who fished you out.
3.) On your way to Carona you were trampled by two thugs.
4.) One of the locals asked you to go look for a local child in CARONA FOREST.
5.) You found her being held hostage by those thugs.
6.) You kicked their ass.
7.) You agreed to help her find her parents.

And now you're climbing the mountain towards them.
(if you're wondering the game this is based on is called Threads of Fate)
> Eridan: Make it to the top, find the girls parents.

(( Warning for possible future not safe for workness. Also warning for kidnapping trigger. It's consensual but still warning.))

You are Tavros Nitram and you’ve been kidnapped! Well... okay, it’s not as bad as all that. You actually know your “kidnapper” well and you had both agreed on this beforehand. And you know Gamzee would never hurt you.

This little game of yours has been going on for a bit now. Ever since Gamzee had brought it up. For once you had seen Gamzee furiously blush purple while he was suggesting the idea. You think he was pretty shocked when you didn’t just turn him down and run.

Yeah, the others would be just as shocked to know about this too.

So here you are, hands bound behind your back and blindfold over your eyes. Wonder where Gamzee is at this moment?

===> Gamzee: Let Tavros know where you are.

Your name is Terezi Pyrope and you are the leader of the red team.
And nobody is going to tell you otherwise, certainly not a bitter little nubby horned spoilsport whose text tastes like ashes and coal. You'd rather Karkat wasn't on your team at all! But Sollux said he could play, and so you'll put up with it.
Speak of the devil! You are being trolled.

Bluuuuhh, you hate talking to him. Why does he always need to start something?
Of course you will not really kick him off the red team. You will have to deal with him.
Or not deal with him. You decide to stop acknowledging him from this point on, as you realize you have spent all too much time focusing on Karkat here when there are more important things to deal with.

Terezi: Deal with more important things

[if possible can this be a friendship game? i wasn't sure if that was allowed, if it isn't then either <> or <3 i guess]

Your name is Terezi Pyrope and you've lost control of your life.

It was three days ago that you were manipul8d into staring at the bright Alternian sun, ending the cycle of revenge between you and your FLARPing cohorts once and for all. The act blinded you, and you somehow managed to crawl back to your hive where you've been hiding ever since. You haven't been eating well since you can't see to catch or prepare meals, and you're still wearing the same clothes stained with three nights of sleeping in your slime puddle. And now your computer is pinging with another new message.

AG: Heeeeeeeey!
AG: I'm sending someone over to your hive. So don't say I never did anything for you!
AG: You won't 8elieve how long it took 8efore I could get control of him again. I guess he was specifically 8locking me out? Whatever, he'll 8e up there to help you out pretty soon.
AG: And I know you still can't read this, so you'll pro8a8ly freak out or sta8 him with something when he gets there. Don't kill him though, he was pretty much the only option to send you!
AG: I'll have him read this to you when he gets there, and once you know what's going on........
AG: Try not to sta8 him anyway. :::;)

arachnidsGrip [AG] ceased trolling gallowsCalibrator [GC]

You can't read any of that of course but you assume it's from the same person who's been messaging you non-stop for the past three days. Most likely it's Vriska. Why does she keep trolling you when you she knows you can't read any of it???

You wish she'd just leave you alone. You know now that you're blind it's only a matter of time before you either die from starvation or are ordered to your death by higher bloods. Blindness is a disability that leaves you useless and weak, and as such you would never be allowed to live with it. The less people you associate with from now on the longer it will be before the culling drones come to end your life, so you

Oh god you hope that isn't them knocking on the door.

==> Terezi: Answer the door

You have been searching for him for almost a sweep now.

Your name is Kanaya Maryam, and you will make Gamzee pay for the murders of your friends. (Not to mention everyone else's total acceptance of him now that Karkat is his moirail! You still don't trust him and you never will.)

He has hidden well, never showing his face except to Karkat, but you believe you have tracked him down at last. If you are right, he is right behind this door.

You have your ~~lipstick~~ chainsaw ready.

Kanaya: Kick open the door

Edited 2012-06-30 05:52 (UTC)

Everyone always told him the same thing.

"Sollux isn't interested in you like that, quit bugging him."

Eridan just had to mention Sollux's name to get the same exasperated look. From Terezi, Kanaya... even Karkat was doing it now. But Eridan knew better. They hadn't seen what happened on LOBAF. They just kind of got a vague retelling of it, they'd have to have been there to really know what Eridan knew, that Sollux was head over heels as black as pitch for him.

He was just denying it for some reason.

==> Sollux: Explain the reason

Your name is JADERI HARLEY and you are a TROLL. You have a variety of interests including VIOLENT ANIMATION FOR WRIGGLERS and THE DEVELOPMENT OF TACTICAL NUCLEAR WARHEADS. These interests have propelled you on a exciting career path in the ALTERNIAN MILITARY.

Your branch of the glorious fleet has been sent to a dinky little planet called EARTH in order to subdue it for the arrival of Her Imperial Condescension. Even though you are only a green blood you have been trusted with a platoon of foot soldiers deployed to the surface. This is the moment you have been waiting for all the sweeps of your life. Your FIRST CONQUEST is going smoothly, the townspeople are falling to their knees. All of them except one FOOL.

Your name is JADE HARLEY and you are in the middle of a crisis.

Your BIRTHDAY is in a week, which means that your WONDERFUL GIRLFRIEND'S BIRTHDAY is in slightly more than a week. You have no doubt that you will be thrilled to receive whatever Rose gives you, but you are less certain that she'll be happy with your gift, particularly considering that you have NO IDEA WHAT YOUR GIFT TO GIVE HER. Not only is Rose generally impossible to shop for, but she is also highly likely to view any gift as a PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE JAB.

What can you possibly get her that will show her how much you care?

This is beyond you. You're going to need outside help with this.

JADE: Consult friends for advice.

[It's a humanstuck with uu being a split personality of Calliope's]

Your name is Calliope and you are very tired.

You’ve spent every night this week staring at this screen until morning, and it’s wearing your body down. You would just go to bed now—it’s not like you have anything to do—but you’re too afraid of what will happen if you do.

Recently it’s come to your attention that when you go to sleep… Your body doesnt. Animated by a malevolent evil personality sharing your body, you run about causing havoc and stepping on bugs.

You don’t know much about this personality, but you assume she (or he, you don’t know!) is an evil spirit that got lost on it’s way to another world, and is now taking its frustration out on you.

So you see going to bed isn’t an option.

But you’re so tired…

==> Calliope: Lose consciousness

Your name is GAMZEE MAKARA and you are currently on a MOVING METEOR directed towards a NEW UNIVERSE.

You have been hiding for a while in your respiteblock because your moirail thought you were a bit OUT OF IT and needed some good ol motherfuckin shooshpapping, especially since you haven't been in touch with a SOPOR PIE since the start of the GAME.

Not that you would ever want to touch one of those motherfuckin pies ever again, bro. You like having your thinkpan all up and clean and sharp.

Better to be used for thinkin up miracles like fillin up your quadrant.

That is why you left your respiteblock without telling your moirail, and are currently making your way through the corridors, searching for someone.

==>Gamzee: Explain what you are talking about

You have been thinking for a while to stake a claim on a motherfucker COOLKID dressed in a RED GODTIER OUTFIT, and you are pretty much sure all your thinking has left you prepared for all of it.

You are going to Black-woo DAVE motherfuckin STRIDER and you're going to have him falling into your heated black clutches by the end of the week, success guaranteed, no refunds.

Your name is DAVE STRIDER and you have suddenly been given ~*~*~*KAWAII NEKO EARS DESU ~*~*~* by a member of the FANDOM. However, that is not the worst of your problems.

Immediately following the sudden appearance of said EARS, it seems that a crowd of FANDOM members has arrived on the premise. They are looking at you as if they are the hungry lions and you are the fragile, delicious sheep. Unfortunately, you are unable to abscond, and your friends are currently in no position to help you at the moment.

To make matters worse, a FANDOM member has just suggested stripping you of your clothes. The FANDOM shall not rest until they see you naked.

Stop being such a wuss. Perhaps you should defend yourself.

Your name is TEREZI PYROPE and you are one of the best COPS in the ALTERNIAN POLICE DEPARTMENT. It's one of the ROUGHEST BEATS IN THE UNIVERSE, and it's a TOUGH JOB to keep it SAFE, but you have a KNACK FOR JUSTICE and the entire FORCE under your THUMB.

Your name is JADE HARLEY and today is a very special day! You are a young WITCH, and as with all that have proceed you, you are going to be given a human! Well, not really. But you have been assigned a human girl to trick into making THREE WISHES from you. These wishes will usually be twisted to create whatever mischief you can think of. You don’t know why this is done, but you suspect it may be because the people who made this system were just MAJOR ASSHOLES. Anyways, you are excited because this will be your first assignment! You cannot wait until you met this girl named ROSE LALONDE. You ride on your broom up to the girl’s bedroom window.

>Jade: Look inside.

Your name is JADE HARLEY.

You just found what you're pretty sure is SOME KIND OF MERMAID washed up on your beach. You think she's unconscious, but she doesn't look wounded.

What will you do?

Jade: CPR!!

Your name is Eridan Ampora and you are standing in front of a huge enormous towering screamy ride of death, aka a rollercoaster. It is aptly named "The Neck-Breaker".

"Oh my cod ok there is no way I am going on that thing."

"No shut up we came to Six Flags in like 98 degree weather for a reason. Now stop being a wuss and come on."

"But Solll it's called the Neck-Breaker! What the hell kinda name is that? I'm goin to die and you're goin to have to carry my fabulous lifeless body back to everyone and aghhh."

Sollux sighed and softened a little. "Look, I promise it's not that bad. I'll be right there, okay." He twined his right hand in Eridan's, and pecked his cheek.

Eridan eyed him warily, then sighed in a clearly disgruntled way. "Fine. But if I do actually die from this terrifyin' monstrosity of a ride, you're paying for my funeral. My eulogy better be fan-fuckin-tastic."

==>Sollux: Drag your whiny boyfriend to the ride already

Your name is NEPETA LEIJON and you're pawsitively the cutest kitten to exist!You live with your owner ROSE LALONDE. She's really cool and even gave you a room of your own!! Though the colors aren't what you would've chosen it's still perfect!

==>Nepeta:Look out the window and see if you can find your owner

You can't seem to find her,there are always so many cars....
Oh there she is!! She's pulling up near the house. It looks like she's gotten something in the car, what could it be???

Your name is TAVROS NITRAM.

You have been preparing for TODAY for quite some time (you haven't really been keeping count of how long, but if you had, it would be at least half a perigee. But you haven't. uUHHH, rEALLY,) and are now making your way towards one COOLKID's house.

You are going to ASK DAVE STRIDER OUT for a date. You are going to show up with A BUNCH OF FLOWERS and some SICK RAPS prepared specifically for this occasion, ready to unleash them on Dave's, uUHHHH, sOFT ASSGLOBES.

You are going to win the ironic coolkid in the most UNIRONICAL way ever, and you are going to SWEEP HIM OFF HIS FEET.

He will not be able to resist, your charms, probably. You have been practicing with your MOIRAIL and you even asked a few people who know Dave.

You are going to do it.

You are going to, uUHHH, mAKE IT, hAPEN, as Dave would say.

==> Tavros: knock on Dave's door and commence act of courtship

Your name is ERIDAN AMPORA, and your day has just been THOROUGHLY RUINED FOREVER.

It started KIND OF WELL, as nothing excepcionally wrong had happened to you in any way, shape or form. The closest thing was that your FAVORITE CAFETERIA ON CAMPUS, the only one who had your favorite lactose-free soy caramel mint green tea latte was full of OTHER DOUCHEBAGS in a LONG AS HELL LINE. There were like, twenty people in front of you, all chatting and laughing and flirting with the cute barista and taking for-flipping-ever to order their goddamn beverages. You hated them. You were the only one allowed to flirt with the cute barista.

You were so captivated by the sight of him yelling his extensive list of colorful expletives to the face of a very embarrassed new employee that it took you a while to realize the person in front of you had left, making it one less asshole between you and your beloved lactose-free soy caramel mint green tea latte. To be honest, you only realized they had left because THE ASSHOLE BEHIND YOU very unkindly SHOVED YOU, making you trip on your own feet and you ended up ungraciously crashing on the next person in front of you.

Which happened to be your ARCHENEMY, your NEMESIS, the GANDALF to your SARUMAN, the VOLDEMORT to your DUMBLEDORE, the WINTER to your FOREIGN POWER INVADING RUSSIA.

Rose Lalonde.

You have been standing in this line too long to abscond. You really want your lactose-free soy caramel mint green tea latte.

When you become president of the world you are going to outlaw her smirk.

===> Eridan: Be Rose.

The Heiress and the Potion Master: The game where Jane and Gamzee own a pastry shop which sells baked goods and magical elixirs.

So if anyone would have come up to you a year ago and told you that in only twelve short months you would go from being a normal, average girl; to a girl who has saved universea, beat Sburb, and even found love with some weird clown alien who you met on the first steps of your Sburb journey--you'd call them crazy.

To be fair, you might be crazy.

You are absolutely positive that your boyfriend is crazy.

And not like normal boyfriends can be crazy, but literally coo-coo--not right in the head, has to worry about him making magical elixirs out of you while you sleep--crazy.

When did his being absolutely nuts become endearing?

When did having trolls around become the norm?

Gamzee comes over and sits next to you. He gives you one of his lazy smiles, It is accented by the tips of several sharp, pointed teeth. He looks simultaneously serene and absolutely terrifying. He leans in slowly, as to not spook you, and carefully kisses your cheek. After a moment he goes in for a second kiss, this time gently on your lips.

For a giant, murderous clown alien, he can certainly be the gentle sort when he wants to be.

>Gamzee: Tell Jane all about the new potion you whipped up earlier today

Your name is DAVE LEE and you are currently getting YOUR ASS BEATEN by BRO-SENSEI.

He says he's teaching you valuable life lessons, but you just think he wants you to suffer as he forces you to wear a green jumpsuit around. Of course it's the right amount of hilarity and ridiculousness that no one will take you seriously as a NINJA-IN-TRAINING, but you'll never reveal to him that you secretly think it matches your bowlcut.

Bro-sensei announces that the daily ass-whooping is over and pulls out a skateboard, ollying out of there on the trees. What you'd give to be able to do a ninjutsu like that.

So, what do you do for the rest of the day?

==>Dave: Bleat like a goat and piss on your ankle weights.

Your name is JUDE EGBERT. However, the most important person in the world calls you DAD.

Besides, the mention of your first name tends to elicit tired jokes of the "take a sad song and make it better" variety, and for all your CHEERFUL DEMEANOUR and GENTLEMANLY COMPOSURE, you will be having no more of that shit in this or any lifetime.

The most important person in the world is, of course, your young son JOHN.

Unfortunately, JOHN has just come tearing down the stairs in a mild panic, his hair standing on end and his eyes wide. He trips over the last few steps and you run to catch him. Both of you topple to the floor.

He informs you, gasping for breath, that there's a vampire in his closet.

> Dad: OH SHIT EVERYONE IN THE MINIVAN

Your name is ROXY HOOD and you're in hiding. Maybe you wouldn't NEED to be if PRINCESS BETTY hadn't completely usurped your mother's throne, and then put a price on your head. Seriously, who does that?

Still, life in SKAIWOOD FOREST isn't completely terrible. You have your partner in crime, LITTLE DIRK, and your band of MERRY CARAPACES.

And of course, there is at least one royal you can trust with everything - Maid Jane. She has been your closest friend since you were children. You don't know what you would do without her.

Speaking of - she doesn't normally show up at your, er, humble abode. You wonder what's going on?

"Roxy! You have to get out of here!"

You raise an eyebrow. "Jaaaney. Jane, calm down and breeeathe. Like this." You inhale and exhale slowly.

Jane does not follow suit. You love Jane, but she really sucks at following directions sometimes. "No, listen to me. You have to get out of Skaiwood Forest. If you don't, then you'll-"

"Oh man, this fuckin game again where they try to kill me and can't because they are totes awful at strategems." You wrap an arm around her shoulders. "I told you. Nobody can outfox the Rox."

Jane smiles, and wow even when it's not a complete smile like that, it's so sweet. Your heart is just a big puddle. "I take it the logical conclusion is that nobody can outfoxy Roxy?"

You laugh because that's not even a word and she knows it and she broke her rules about using the properiest English just for you. "Yes. Yes, exactly that."

"All candor aside... I am quite worried about you because Princess Betty has come up with something of a diabolical plot to permanently remove you from the picture."

Roxy: Oh what is her royal butt up to now.

Your name is KARKAT VANTAS and you are currently standing outside the hive of one TEREZI PYROPE.

Well, as "outside the hive" as you can feasibly get, considering it's in a tree. You're standing on the ground by the trunk looking almost straight up at her door. It's about twelve kinds of ridiculous that she lives so high off the ground, like what, is she trying to misplace her cane and accidentally fall to her death? Stupid trolls cull themselves, you guess.

But you know Terezi isn't stupid, and she's also pretty experienced with the trees, if the number of scalemates hanging by their necks over branches, with stuffing poking out of their ripped fabric, is any indication. Seriously, what a creep.

She invited -- or rather, "SUMMON3D," in her own words -- you to her hive to "4SS1ST 1N 4N 1NV3ST1G4T1ON," but she wouldn't tell you any more than that. Frankly, it's pretty suspicious and you suspect you're walking right into a trap, or at least another thinkpan-numbing roleplay session, but you can't ignore the possibility that she really does want your help with something. Unlikely, considering the "request" was couched in other excuses like "BUT YOU H4V3NT V1S1T3D M3 1N 4G3S K4RK4T" and "4R3 YOU R34LLY GO1NG TO M4K3 4 BL1ND G1RL W4LK FOR H4LF 4 N1GHT JUST TO S33 YOU >:[" that make it pretty obvious she just wants something stupid like sniffing your eyes to try to guess the color of your blood.

Despite that, you walked half a night for whatever shitty reason she won't tell because she's obnoxiously coy like that, and then she didn't even have the decency to throw down a ladder or something so you can get in.

> Karkat: Yell.

Your name is JANE CROCKER, and you are pretty sure you're going to fail at this whole confessing-your-feelings thing.

Today is the day, though! It HAS to be. It's JAKE ENGLISH's birthday (who happens to be that heartthrob dreamboat you've been mooning over for the last three years in high school, just so you know) and you're pretty sure that he's finally free for the, er, snagging.

He has, in fact, just recently gotten over his break-up with his boyfriend -- and, er, best friend! Dirk Strider. Actually, your friend too. Since you, he, and Dirk (as well as your not-sister best friend Roxy) are all sort of in the bffsies zone, so. It's a bit awkward.

...But you and Dirk had also been competing for Jake's affection for a good majority of those three years as well. He eventually won out after you blew it ten months ago, and you'd nearly given up on ever having a chance to strike at your man. Until two months ago, when Dirk abruptly broke it off and, well, sort of broke Jake's heart. (You'd nearly wrung him through for that, but then again, where did you have any say?) Then again, he had often reminded you in the early stages of their relationship (in friendly banter) that you had waited too long to make a move.

That it was his turn.

...Well.

Now it's your turn.

Jake was finally recovering, or so your sources say. (Meaning, you'd sort of been stalking him a bit other than being his friend, but let's keep that to ourselves, hm?) So that meant that you could perhaps cue the lights and take action? Hopefully. You knew that Dirk and Jake had been pretty, ah, close. Really close. As in, sneaking-off-on-a-perpetual-basis-for-makeouts-and-probably-more close.

Uh.

Yeah.

Not like you knew that or anything.

Uhhhh.

> Jane: Put this tomfoolery aside for now and prepare for school.

Your name is Davesprite and you're not really here. You're actually a few blocks away in a hard drive as a bundle of binary and electrons spinning themselves through silicon-and-gold circuits. You're a dataghost, which means you used to be alive but now you're a computer program. But none of that really matters at the moment, because you are bringing this grody ass television back to the apartment you share with your... friend. Yeah, let's go with that.

How are you holding it? Look, you don't have time to explain tactile holograms right now. You're kind of a big deal. You have a semi-popular blog, okay. You're an underground noise musician. Your day is a little full at the moment.
