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!

The Heiress and the Potion Master: The game where Jane and Gamzee own a pastry shop which sells baked goods and magical elixirs.

So if anyone would have come up to you a year ago and told you that in only twelve short months you would go from being a normal, average girl; to a girl who has saved universea, beat Sburb, and even found love with some weird clown alien who you met on the first steps of your Sburb journey--you'd call them crazy.

To be fair, you might be crazy.

You are absolutely positive that your boyfriend is crazy.

And not like normal boyfriends can be crazy, but literally coo-coo--not right in the head, has to worry about him making magical elixirs out of you while you sleep--crazy.

When did his being absolutely nuts become endearing?

When did having trolls around become the norm?

Gamzee comes over and sits next to you. He gives you one of his lazy smiles, It is accented by the tips of several sharp, pointed teeth. He looks simultaneously serene and absolutely terrifying. He leans in slowly, as to not spook you, and carefully kisses your cheek. After a moment he goes in for a second kiss, this time gently on your lips.

For a giant, murderous clown alien, he can certainly be the gentle sort when he wants to be.

>Gamzee: Tell Jane all about the new potion you whipped up earlier today

Your name is Gamzee Makara. You are getting a really bitchtits snuggle going on here, your hands smell of fresh blood, and you are in love as motherfuck. You are in love such as you wouldn't even put it that way to your homegirl, since Jane would go and all make her one eyebrow sarcastic, you'd say you're steeped up in dopest flush and she'd smile and roll her eyes only a little bit. In fact she is smiling some already.

It's a good moment.

"So I went for the motherfucking birds," you say as you smooch her cheek again, because she don't hold much with the birds, so it's cool.

"Birds? What? Gamzee, what do birds have to do with anything," she says, and whoops, it sounds like there goes the smile.

You lean back to get a look in on her face, and yep. Now it's the suspicion. But at least it's the kind where she pretty much already knows what's up and coming, though.

"So, uh, there was earlier today when I up and made me another kind of a potion," you say, and then get into some details so she doesn't have overmuch time to get stern. "Birds and motherfucking mantids is what I went for in the ways of ingredients. You know how fuckin' hard it is to get blood right and proper out of them buggy motherfuckers? A brother can try for mirth as hard as possible, but it's only the littlest bit that production will offer you. Aw, Miss Mary Jane, come on, you don't even like birds. You let Dirk eat 'em."

"Don't call me that," she says all proper, like she does, and sighs and huffs herself straight into your arms. "Fine. Both of you can terrorise the seagull population of the new world, see if I care. Let's make pies out of the damn things!"

You pet at her, all relieved she's taking it easy. She's good at taking shit in stride, scaling up to match, never a push-over. Girl is real and righteous. "Fuck yeah, babe. I already had to go and set the meat aside proper. Dirk's going to be all up and flipping happiest kinds of shit if we go and do that."

"Now, there are two things that I am trying to bring myself to ask," Jane sighs. "Will it be 'why the devil do you insist on making these creepy potions', or will it be 'what is a mantisgull potion supposed to do, anyway'?

> Jane: Pick a question.
