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!

New Slick<3<Snowman Game (Fill: Team Terezi<3<Vriska)

>Be Spades Slick



You are now Spades Slick, leader of the Midnight Crew. If there’s one thing people should know about you, it’s that you run this town. If anyone doesn’t know this, you make it your personal duty to change that. By force, if necessary. Which brings you to your mission of the evening.

Some new guys rolled into the area not so long ago, making trouble for your guys, taking over the best spots of the metropolitan centre… the list goes on. There’s been plenty of talk about this gang, THE FELT- you’ve heard it. They’ve got a lot of folk going on about some secret power they’ve all got. It sounds like the sort of crazy nonsense only a gullible idiot who still drinks from baby bottles would believe. Though you’ve got to hand it to them, getting everyone scared of them like that without lifting a finger was not bad work on their part. And it’s going to make the headlines even sweeter when you take them down.

In and amongst all the inane babbling you’ve heard about the Felt, there has been some actual useful information. One rumour is that they have an artifact which gives them omniscience. Normally you’d discard such a ridiculous idea straight away, only you’ve seen what they’ve been doing to your casinos: Winning on an endless streak of luck, sucking the place dry of anything valuable, leaving them as dead and empty husks. A magic artifact would answer a lot of questions, as much as you’d hate to admit it.

A few more digs for information later and you found out that they keep this thing close by at all times. Also, that it has been referred to as a PERFECT 8-BALL. You’re going to keep calling it the “thing”, though.

> Look at plan of action


Your plan is flawless.

You tried drawing one of those things you get inside 8-balls, for better accuracy and realism, but you messed it up and crossed it out. What are those things called anyway? It doesn’t matter. Even a fool could understand this. Which is good because you have three of them to explain it to.

(your art is so lovely, I'm really sorry for attempting to copy your style...)



You try to do this but they won't pick up the damned phone.



You hope they are in mortal peril so that you don't have to do them the discourtesy of stabbing them.



> Slick: Make revised plan.
