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

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!

Aradia: Run into trou8le. (FILL: TEAM ARADIA<3FEFERI)

[chiuchiu]

You have been able to grab the book for your friend, but just as you are
leaving you hear that voice.

''Hey, Megidoooooooo''



OH, GOD, everything but HER.

Great, she is the only person you woud like to see dead on the whole planet, and now is here, in the same library as you are, and SHE IS EVEN TRYING TO TALK TO YOU.

She is an old friend of yours, but not really.
Oh, you should also note that she looks something like this (but, maybe, not really):



What will you do?

>Aradia: Be the other one.

Re: Aradia: Run into trou8le. (FILL: TEAM ARADIA<3FEFERI)

[chiuchiu]

oh, gosh, I had not seen your reply! (this is aimed to the person who replied before me) I am so very sorry! I am just gonna leave this here, if this is not a problem (mostly for the shitty .gif*coff), however if everybody could just follow the storyline of the post right above mine it would be great! And then again, sorry! [/OT]

Re: Aradia: Run into trou8le. (FILL: TEAM ARADIA<3FEFERI)

[windytier]

Re: Aradia: Run into trou8le. (FILL: TEAM ARADIA<3FEFERI)

[chiuchiu]

ahh well thank you then ;v; You're adorable!

You are now Vriska Serket and MAAAAAAAAN do you love picking on dorks, especially this one.



You two have been at each other's throats since you were kids. However, it's much more active on your end since Megido can be such a KILLJOY! You hate it when she tries to poker face her way out of a fated confrontation with a tough gal such as yourself, but a challenge was good every once in a while. Bullies beat up nerds. Nerds concede to bullies. It's a vicious circle that you have no qualms with following.



She manages not to make any kind of movement once you're in her personal space, which disappoints you a little.

"Whatcha got here, Megido? Another one of those 8utt-tastic adventure 8ooks?"

She frowns slightly, and you feel a rush of pride, even if it was a very small reaction.

"Why don't you let me see that, hmmmmmmmm????????"


>Vriska: Attempt to t8ke her dum8 8ook.

>Vriska: Attempt to t8ke her dum8 8ook. (FILL: TEAM SLICK<3<SNOWMAN)

You try to snatch the book out of her hand. She doesn't let go.

You're an athlete - you should be a hell of a lot stronger than a dumb nerd! But Aradia holds her book in a vicelike grip and you can't grab it away from her. Her expression barely changes, either; she glares at you with the same thin-pressed lips and narrowed eyes.

The fuck is she, a robot or something???????

Sure, she's a nerd, but the thing you hate so much about Megido in particular is that she's so damn unflappable. She can be all sweet and happy and excited and a complete enthusiastic spaz when you get her on a topic she likes - but just gets all cool and snippy when confronted with something she doesn't. Provoking an actual visible reaction in her is ridiculously hard! Normally you can completely dominate any interaction you get into, with anyone, and get them to react exactly the way you want.

(Well, except Terezi. But shut up.)

The thing is, Megido's different. No matter what you do, you can't ever seem to get her well and truly mad. You know she hates you - but she just doesn't seem impressed with you.

It infuriates you. It drives you absolutely crazy. Does she think she's better than you or something? Because she isn't!!!!!!!! You're Vriska Serket, and you're the very best there is. You're going to get under her skin and break down her perfect poise if it's the last thing you do.


> Vriska: Try something more drastic.
