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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Your name is ROXY LALONDE and you feel a bit alone again as you wander around outside for a bit and get lost in your thoughts again.

But of course there is a way to remedy your loneliness.

This whole situation just screams for a party, but first off, you need to check if you have everything that you need for such an endeavour.
For a party, you of course need to first find some people who want to come. So, what else to do but to write to some of your friends and ask them if they want to come over? Not that they wouldn't. Of course they would, your parties are simply the best ever!

-> ROXY: CHECK WHO IS ONLINE

You open up your trusty computer and already find Pesterchum open from a late night conversation with Jane. Pesterchum says she's offline, but it wouldn't hurt to shoot her a message anyway. You're about to send one when you see someone new has been added to your buddy list. Wait, what?

You're about to delete the random kid but just then he sends a message!

caligulasAquarium [CA] began trolling tipsyGnostalgic [TG].
CA: wwho the fuck are you

>ROXY: ANSWER THIS RUDE MOFO!

You guess you could humour him for a while. Even if he is a rude arsehole, he could still potentially be vaguely more interesting than talking to yourself. Goodness knows you've gotten a lot of practise at that-- sometimes you even reply to yourself, just for shits and giggles. Although you're not on speaking terms with yourself at the moment (you lost an argument), so any sort of conversation there is right out... Monologues are still good, though. Monologues are always good. And... Were you supposed to be doing something? You were, weren't you?

Your screen helpfully flashes. Oh, right. You were talking to this mysterious douchebag.

TG: thats nto a very polite way to gret a lady
TG: *greet
TG: im janey tuough if it matters
TG: jane crocker
CA: that is the dumbest name ivve evver heard
TG: then youve provably never hesrd your own lol
TG: *heard
TG: whuat is your naem anyway mystery boy

==> Mystery boy: Reveal name

==> Mystery boy: Reveal name.

Your name is ERIDAN AMPORA, and fuck that shit, you are not going to tell this pink-texted nooksucker a damn thing.

But you don't suppose that it would be a bad idea to humor the pathetic little girl (you assume she is a girl, atleast) for a little while.

It's been awfully boring lately, being dead and all. Being dead after going around and killing half of your "friends" does not help the situation much either, all things considered.

You'd almost consider yourself friendless, noting how nobody answers your messages anymore, if you weren't as amazing as you are.

Except that you kinda had your confidence shaken, so you might be regretting your decisions just a little.

Only a little, really.

CA: the names dualscar not mystery boy
CA: the best name youvve probably evver heard im sure
CA: wwhat drovve you to seek out the wwonderful dualscar this fine day

You really hope she is not indimidated by you and your "swwag".

You might be looking forward to this, a teensy bit.

==> Roxy: Respond to this douchebag.

You roll your eyes and giggle at the same time, which is a skill you've practised over the years. Your CARAPACIAN FAMILY never really seems to appreciate the finer arts of facial expressionism, though. And your other friends can't see you. It's kind of sad, really, that the only time you get to show off your marvellously expressive and also beautiful face is when you're asleep. And then you're just drooling, so it doesn't really count.

TG: well if you hadnt contatexd me i wouldtn be talking to you now woud i so i dont think i really seeked you out so much as you did me lol
TG: *too mcuh typoes
TG: *much
TG: i guess i could aks you the same question
TG: wwhat drovve you to seek out the sexii janey corker this fine day
TG: *crokcer
TG: *croker
TG: *fck it
TG: could you nto stau away any longer

==> Eridan: Answer.

You realise she has a point, that you did send her a message.

But you had good reason, you searched her out beca-- no you mean she searched you ou-- what are you even thinking-- she is messin' up all of your thoughts, here!

CA: wwell i mean you did havve me on your list
CA: ivve nevver seen you online before so i figured itd be best if i
CA: you knoww
CA: made sure you wwerent a friend a mine tryin to troll me or somefin
CA: i guess

No, Ampora, keep it cool. Be confident. Don't blowfish it up now. You're a prince! Don't scare the minnow, she may be your last chance at a sane conversation, despite the fact that she just called herself "sexii".

==> Roxy: Reassure him you are not a troll.

Edited 2012-06-26 02:09 (UTC)

Haha, that’s funny, he thinks you’re a troll. You quickly make sure to beat that notion from his mind with your absolute favourite metaphorical stikc. And yes, that typo was actually intentional, for once.

See, you may have been talking to your BFFSIE Janey about metaphors. And sticks. And what they were good for. And you may have been just slightly tipsy at the time, which she continually informs you is your normal state, so you may have spelled stick wrong. It had kind of stuck. Of course, anyone who corrects stick to *stikc probably has a knack for these sticking inside joke things or whatever you have.

You feel it’s justified, anyway. The Batterbitch can’t track the wrong spelels!

TG: no you were on my lits too even though ii didnd add you and dont even know who you are
TG: makin it kinda hard for me to add yuo anyway so
TG: *you
TG: but imm not with the batterwish or anyone dont worryy dualscar youre safe with me
TG: vvery safe indeed
TG: *wonk*

==> Eridan: Wonder if she's hitting on you.
