Bonus Round 2

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!

>Doorbell: Be rung (FILL: TEAM Eridan <3< Vriska)

[myrrh_darkwing]

You are now the ORNERY DOORBELL. You've been having a nice snooze on the comfortable DOOR you live on, but now some strange PINK MONKEY is jamming its FINGER SAUSAGE into your nice METALLIC BUTTOCKS. You SHRIEK at the indignity of having a FINGER SAUSAGE jammed into your METALLIC BUTTOCKS. This sound apparently gets someone inside the HOUSE to come RUNNING TO YOUR AID, though you don't think the PINK MONKEY notices this because it GOOSES you again. If this keeps up, you think you're going to have a NERVOUS BREAKDOWN.

==> Doorbell: Have NERVOUS BREAKDOWN

==>Doorbell: Have NERVOUS BREAKDOWN (FILL: TEAM ERIDAN<3ROXY)

[2091_shadow_mew]

You are now having the worst of NERVOUS BREAKDOWNS known to the doorbell race! this is simply terrible! Why in the world would this pink monkey continue to jab you in such an inappropriate place?! BUT WAIT! Who is this! It seems there is a WHITE KNIGHT, so to speak, coming to your rescue! In reality it is actually a BLUE TROLL GIRL who lives in the residence that your DOOR resides in.
Nevertheless she saves you from the torment and flings open your home, letting in the pink monkey, that's alright though, at least your safe. You are now eternally grateful to this troll girl, you will tell stories to your children some day of her heroic deeds, and they will tell theirs and so on.
...
this is dumb.

>Be the PINK MONKEY instead!

>Be the PINK MONKEY instead! (FILL: TEAM KANAYA<3VRISKA)

[memyselfandi]

You are now the PINK MONKEY, although you prefer to think of yourself as JOHN EGBERT. You have just arrived at the home of VRISKA SERKET, just in time for her PARTY, which you are VERY EXCITED ABOUT. You know Vriska's been planning it for a long time, and when Vriska puts her mind to things, well, stuff sure does happen!

Not always good stuff. But stuff all the same!

You are SO EXCITED for this party, that you are completely ON TIME, a feat none of your friends have ever been capable of. Dave gets a free pass, because of irony, but everyone else just kind of sucks at being on time. Your DAD always taught you it was very important to never be late, and also to always bring a gift when you have been invited into someone's home!

> John: Examine gift fondly.

> John: Examine gift fondly. (FILL: TEAM ROSE<3SOLLUX)

[mockingtheodds]

You cannot fondly regard your gift, for it is tucked ever so carefully at the bottom of your bag. Wouldn't want anyone catching a glimpse of this beauty before you've had a chance to properly unveil it! Besides, you've been fondly regarding this gift ever since you bought it at the pharmacy on your way over.

Your father may have taught you courtesy, but you guess he never anticipated having to teach you a little foresight!

Whatever. The gift is awesome. Vriska is going to flip.

> John: Meet your excellent host.

> John: Meet your excellent host. (FILL: TEAM JADE<3KARKAT)

JOHN: i cannot deny i am hella excited for this.
VRISKA: You haven't seen anything yet! I have this place decked out in stro8e lights.
JOHN: none of our friends have epilepsy right?
VRISKA: What's that????????
JOHN: uh, nevermind. what other cool things do you have?
VRISKA: I've got the 8est party goods in all the lands located in my hive.
VRISKA: Look at this disco ball, for example.
JOHN: i do see a disco ball.
VRISKA: You do, in fact, see a disco 8all. You know what's special about that particular 8all?
JOHN: oh my god, what?
VRISKA: I lovingly handcrafted that 8all for this party.
VRISKA: I shaped that winning 8all with my own two palms!
JOHN: oooooooo tell me more! heheheh.
VRISKA: With the skills of a thousand professionals I moulded that 8all.
VRISKA: I touched and fondled that 8all like only the 8est of them.
JOHN: heheheheheheh.
VRISKA: This is serious 8uisness John! No laughing allowed! ::::::::)
JOHN: of course not! i would never consider it!
JOHN: oh, is anybody else here yet?
VRISKA: No, you are impecca8ly on time, as usual.
VRISKA: It always amazes me that the two gods of time can never actually arrive when they're supposed to.
VRISKA: You are always the num8er one at arrivals!!!!!!!!
JOHN: haha, i think they just want to be fashionably late or something, who knows.
JOHN: anyway, i'm kind of glad i caught you alone! i have something to give you.
JOHN: in commemoration of your assuredly awesome party to-be.
JOHN: and as a thank you for inviting me into your lovely abode!
VRISKA: Oh???????? ::::::::)

>John: Give Vriska your gift.

Re: > John: Give Vriska your gift. (FILL: TEAM JOHN<3KARKAT)

[twinsky]

You take your gift out of your bag wth much enthusiasm. It's been waiting long enough time to show it to the world!

You tell her to close her eyes and with a skeptical stare she concedes and closes them. You take the chance to latch the necklace onto her. Its a simple necklace a silver chain with the scorpion symbol as a charm. Its blue, the same blue as your eyes. You think its a perfect present for her.

You also bought her a magic eight ball since she seems to fancy those quite a bit! All in all you think you've gotten her the perfect presents!

==> Vriska: Open eyes.
