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!

Your name is ROSE LALONDE, and you are currently a SENIOR at SUBURBAN BETA HIGH. Your four-year journey has been ... interesting, to say the least. Somehow, you have found yourself dubbed the QUEEN BEE of a PETTY HIGHSCHOOL CLIQUE, more specifically, THE GOTHS.

This is not a role to be turned down, whether desired or not. The QUEEN BEE CROWN is presented entirely based on bizarre teen hierarchy that cannot be simply altered. In fact, it is considered a HIGH HONOR. So, being the CLASSY LADY you are, you roll with it.

Currently, you are outside on your lunch break, waiting for the unspoken love of your "dark and dismal" life, KANAYA MARYAM. She herself is the head of the small VAMPIRE COVEN that has made itself a subset of your CLIQUE. Her high collars are incredibly endearing, and she is welcome to BITE YOU anytime.

===> Rose: Light a clove cigarette and wait.

It was snowing quite heavily earlier this morning, but it seems to have stopped since you were last outside. The air is crisply cold, perhaps exacerbated by your outfit, which was not the smartest choice for the weather you knew was coming.

The ever-vigilant janitors have already shoveled the path, making way for those students that wish to leave the grounds for lunch. That includes you and Kanaya, if only she would show up. She's nearly three minutes late already, which is uncharacteristic behavior for her.

You would be worried, but it appears she is pestering you. At least she understands the importance of keeping friends informed, unlike some people you know. (Ahem - Strider.)

You withdraw your phone from your bag and check Pesterchum.

GA: The Latter I Think

GA: Listen Rose Ive Got To Go Finish Up Your Surprise

GA: And Thats All I Need
GA: <3
TT: <3

==> Rose: Be Kanaya.

You are now KANAYA and today is the day you have been preparing for all the years of you life, or at least the years that came after your discovery of LURID VAMPIRE ROMANCE NOVELS. Or, as you think of them, THE ONLY YEARS THAT MATTER. Today is the day you finally win the hand of the most elegant and eligible lesbian goth in the entire school system, one Rose Lalonde.

Your QUALITY LITERATURE has taught you much about the world of romance and the fine art of courting a lady and you intend to put their valuable lessons into actions. Or at least the lessons that are HUMANLY POSSIBLE. Rose is a fine specimen of a lady but she still possesses as FRAGILE MORTAL SHELL. You have toyed with the possibility of blessing Rose with an IMMORTALITY AS A FEARSOME DRINKER OF BLOOD but it seems too forward for a first date. Instead you have done the next best thing and acquired the finest gift any teen lesbian goth with a vampire fetish could hope for.

That's right. An authentic first edition autographed copy of TWILIGHT.

There is no way this gesture could possibly go wrong. You check your bag to make sure the book has not MYSTERIOUSLY VANISHED.

==> Book: Mysteriously vanish.
==> Kanaya: Panic.

You are now the authentic first edition autographed copy of TWILIGHT. You're a lovely book with a perfectly maintained cover and set of pages. On you rests the glorious hand of your author, Stephanie Meyer. Some may balk at you and declare you an affront to all that is literature, but you know that this isn't so. You're the hottest damn piece of written art to have ever been.

You are also now missing. Booknapped possibly. It's not a concern of yours because you lack the mental faculties needed to be concerned. Or self aware at all.

However Kanaya Maryam does have said mental faculties and we have now become the ever fashionable teen lesbian goth with a vampire fetish that is Kanaya Maryam. Your face turns to an expression of pure horror. The book is gone and there is no trace of it.

It has vanished. Mysteriously one might say.

Closing your bag and reopening it does not make it reappear.

Dammit. You now do the only thing you possibly can; you start to cry and feel as though all your plans are for naught. And that you will forever be remembered as that not so fashionable girl who made a total fool of herself one day. This day will be marked down in the history of the school, forever remembered, the story passed down by jovial seniors much cooler than you shall ever be.

>Kanaya: Mourn briefly while listening to The Cure

You mourn briefly about your tragic loss, but the haunting voice of Robert Smith lifts your spirits in a fairly timely manner. You can't admit defeat this easily!

>Kanaya: Realize you might have left the book in your locker.
