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!

New GEN Game (FILL: TEAM JOHN<3ROSE)

[madmegatax]

You are DOC SCRATCH, friendly neighborhood ice cream connoisseur. You work for the FELT ICE CREAM BUSINESS, and your specialty flavor is FELT CHOCOLATE CHIP. Some have complained about experiencing weird time phenomena while consuming your ice cream, but you assure them that the effects are short term. And, from the perspective of an immortal being such as yourself, they are indeed short term. You like selling ice cream to the naïve children of the neighborhood, and if you are so inclined, you may hand out ice cream to charming young ladies for free.

Lately, though, a rival ice cream business THE MIDNIGHT CREW has popped up, and their ice cream STAB ME CHERRY has become a big hit. Business has gone down for you, and...

One moment, please.

Huh?



I do appreciate the effort in trying to craft a story that prominantly features me.
However, I find the lackluster set up for the story to be quite tiresome.
Now, please excuse me. I have a business to run, and little girls to give away treats to.
As ice cream connoisseurs go, I am simply the best there is.

Be the rival business.

You are ANDREW HUSSIE and for no particular reason you have decided to open an ice cream parlour.




It has definitely nothing to do with the fact that a stupid PUPPET residing on the other end of the street has a similar business and is one annoying KNOW IT ALL.

In order to show the annoying WHITE GENTLEMAN about the art of cashing money, you have created the MIDNIGHT CREW PARLOUR, which sells the infamous STAB ME CHERRY.

Modesty aside, it is quite tasty. You would know all about it, your winning ice cream was created by you. You are not an ALMIGHTY IMMORTAL BEING but you sure as hell know how to create things that are successful.

One of your goons... you mean employees. One of your employees is quite successful with his INTIMIDATORY stance towards clients, and you are thinking about sending him to make sure you sell some more.



SPADES SLICK sure knows how to give a good STAB around.

He looks about 10 seconds from stabbing you in the face but he eventually turns around and walks away. You trust him and everything but man is he kinda horribly terrifying. So is the whole Midnight Crew really. Well, except for Clubs Deuce you guess. He's just Clubs Deuce.

Oops, almost time for the parlour to open. Why not, you take a tiny bit of the Stab Me Cherry next to you and taste it.

Damn, you're good at this.

[shinigamishi]

You are now Slades Slick.

You're not really sure how you ended up working for this crazy guy selling ice cream. You don't even care for ice cream that much, and you care for your new boss even less. You think it might have something to do with the fact that you hate the Felt Ice Cream Business even more than you hate him.

Lesser of two evils, you guess.

You reluctantly make your way to round up the others. You find them playing cards in the back room and quickly bark for them to get their asses up and to work.

You do like this part of the job. Telling them what to do.
