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!

You look around frantically trying to spot her. You aren't worried, no not you! Someone great like you doesn't get worried about things like her best friend pulling her leg, or running off and leaving before she arrived.

You glance around through the crowds of people, there are so many, you didn't think it be so hard to spot her though, since you knew what she looked like.

> Kanaya: Be behind Vriska.

You do a superb job at being behind Vriska, in fact such a good job you sensed she was rather surprised at first. Great job Ms.Maryam! She swerves around and gives you the custom wave of a greeting and you happily oblige by mimicking the act. It looks like the both of you are very excited to see eachother, maybe you should get down to business and talk?
>Both of you: get down to business

You don't know why the phrase "getting down to business" popped into your brain, but now you're thinking too much about Mulan, which isn't cool, because your best friend is suddenly right in front of you! You certainly didn't wake up this morning expecting it, like you were expecting two Crunchwrap Supremes and to play with Aranea, your spider, all day.

You're suddenly nervous, which is really fucking stupid! So what if you don't have a computer screen and keyboard to rethink all of your messages before you send them? You'll be juuuuust fine.

Vriska What Is That Spider Doing In Your Hair

Well, shit, now you suddenly feel too awkward to say anything, like any and all chances to impress her have gone right out the window. You blush, struggling for words. Aranea gazes at Kanaya with wonder, but you can't see that because she's out of eyeshot.

> Vriska: Get it together

You pull yourself together and wrap some duct tape around it for good measure, albeit in a purely metaphorical sense because damn, potential way to make things totally more awkward there.

"Advertising for my etsy shop," you say. Arenea will totally back you up on this, you know it. "She's a fascinator." You totally need to make an etsy shop now, for real. You have the best ideas.

Kanaya is fucking elegant. She's amazing. She smells good, like clean everything and expensive soap and the first class section of an airplane. And she does a thing with her face, just a little twitchy thing, that suggests you've caused her a minute amount of physical pain.

"Oh..." she says, looking down. "I didn't know that fascinators were...still fashionable here."

>Vriska: Salve pride with bluster
