The Return of Round Robin Fanadventures

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!

Solgrub: Wake up extremely grumpy and moderately angry with Eridan (FILL: TEAM Aradia <> Tavros)

[windytier]

That little fish grub is really annoying, you can't help but think. That nap was really good, why ruin it?

You chirp and squeak in annoyance at your friend, but he seems to be ignoring you. What does a grub have to do to get some sleep around here?

Crawling forward as best as one can with six legs and a brain full of sleep, you do what grubs do best.

=> Bite your friend.

=> Bite your friend. (Fill: Team Dave<3Karkat)

[lacertae_dreamscape]

You bite down on Eridan's body, teeth sinking into his tail, and the reaction is instantaneous.

Instead of finally shutting up, like he should have, Eridan squeals even louder, then starts to cry.

Disgruntled, you scoff and click a bit, pouting, but when Eridan turns towards you, tears streaming down his big eyes, sniffling and looking absolutely miserable, you start to feel a bit bad.

==> Sollux: start crying too.

Re: ==> Sollux: start crying too. (Fill: Team JOHN<3KARKAT)

[twinsky]

Tears begin to stream down your double coloured eyes and your psiiconics begin to crack and snap around you.

And as your crying continues the strength of them grows, you however are not aware of this, you are too busy, well crying, to notice. As any troll knows this should probably be stopped before it gets out hand, and Eridan is well aware of this. But what can a little grub do?

==> Eridan: Do something.

==> Eridan: Do something. (Eridan<3<Sollux)

[kephra]

The something that you do however, is not of your own volition.



Wha? You are now floating. But at least this distracted you from whatever it was you were crying about? Hey! Why is Sollux crying. He should not be sad! He should know that you are here for him. You squeek at him, but he does not seem to hear.

You stretch as far as your little grub leggies can stretch!
Just...a little bit more...



==>Eridan: Boop Sollux.

Re: ==> Eridan: Do something. (Dave<3Sollux)

[querulousartisan]

You boop Sollux.

It's the most you can do for the little grub, considering that he has you in his red and blue grasp. Still, you boop him, and start running your claw through his hair.

He sniffles, still crying, and finally he is looking at you, eyes wide, finally beginning to calm down.

You continue your ministrations to calm the other grub, and there is another sniffle, tears still running, but Sollux is finally beginning to calm down, a slight purr starting up.
