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!

Sollux: Say hi to yourself. (Fill: TEAM ERIDAN<3<SOLLUX)

[kephra]

uhh...hii


You seem to be giving each other a once twice over. You appear to be IDENTICAL. Save for the SHOES. His are gold in color, while yours are purple.

Thats right. You were just on derse when...no wait. You were here, in your Questcoon, and you just killed yourself? Either way, it is clear to you that you are indeed the REAL SOLLUX CAPTOR, and...

niice 2hoe2 priince22


Oh hell no. He did not. There is no room in this 'coon for two of you. This obvious IMPOSTER is asking for it. And your just the angry bipolar douchebag to give it two him.



Other Sollux: Think fast.

[==> other sollux: think fast] (FILL: TEAM ARADIA<3JADE)

[jadesprite]

You are now OTHER SOLLUX. You decide to go for the good old time-tried tradition of BAITING HIM and therefore HOPEFULLY THROWING HIM OFF HIS GAME. Hopefully.

well? come on, a22hole. hiit me one.

Yes, you are the other Sollux, and you are watching the other-other Sollux clench his fists at his sides, looking at you like your very existence is a challenge to him, an affront: one more failure to hide away with shame. You suppose it was not the smartest thing to insult him but you are not a smart person. There have been times where people have seemed to believe you are and you have never understood why. You are staring down yourself wanting to see some difference, in him, some minor giveaway that you can see and know he is not you.

There is nothing. He raises a hand to you, fist unravelling, and he sparks off energy in the base of your throat; in the air you are breathing. It fills you with a sort of electric discomfort, a tense, sharp sensation like the precursor to burning. You didn't really suppose he would do anything -- always the coward, always eaten up with fear -- but his eyes are full of something like loathing and you suppose, again, there is nothing. There is no difference between you both save the sun and the moon. 2hut up, he says, oh my god for once iin your 2iickeniingly mii2erable liife just shut UP, and there is no real way this is aimed at you, really you.

You blink, momentarily taken aback, before you are shaken by an abrupt and careless anger. You wonder if he wishes to kill you; only a death either heroic or just, they say, and by the game's eyes (by yours?) there is every chance you may be but an abomination born of a defect. So maybe it will work. So maybe you are purely an obstacle. You hate this game but more than that you hate yourself, and here is another self in front of you to tell that to, openly, sincerely. His offence will not be yours.

go two hell, you say, and you swallow down the sudden inexplicable urge to laugh. Your god-tier garb is surprisingly light on you but you have never felt quite so strangled by fate -- not helped by the fact that the pain is still there, in your throat, from where he shocked you. All this getting-sick-of-your-own-shit from over the sweeps has come to something of a head, now. You feel a little like the edge of a knife, the brittle air before thunder. So what will you do?

==> Other Sollux: attack.
