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!

Your nefarious plan appears to have worked.

Tavros: Wake up suddenly

You are now Tavros Nitram. You are also very, very confused. A mere moment ago you were frolicking with some fairies (which you realize now must have been a dream because of the lamentable fact that fairies are not real) and now you are staring up at one of the strange pink aliens that you and your friends apparently created when you played SGRUB.

Also, for some unknown reason, this alien is grabbing your horns like the steering bars of a two-wheeled device.

Tavros: You are too confused to be you right now! Go back to being the strange alien holding your horns!

Edited 2012-06-24 15:01 (UTC)

You're Dave again. Surprise, surprise.

But now there's this large mass of flailing alien on your futon.

You're a little confused and unsure if he is just a little startled by being woke up with some potentially indecent groping, which you're not even sure is a thing but you're starting to wonder based on his reaction of confusion and maybe panic.

But then again... He could just be mad.

Did you make him angry? Is that why he is yelling?

Dave, you made the bull angry didn't you?

And look at that. You're wearing red. Good on you, idiot!

Dave: Remove all red objects from the immediate vicinity

There's no other way: the clothes will have to go.

With a swag that can only be described as STRIDER KIND, you fling off your RED T-SHIRT. You use your other hand to push the hem of your RED BOXERSHORTS back into your NOT RED PANTS. Thank god you don't have any red pants.

=> Be Tavros

You would be Tavros. Except, Tavros has left the building.

He bolted up when Dave started taking off his shirt and slipping his hand into his pants. Pressed his back right up against the entertainment center. Staring in horror. He might have mentioned something about not being ready to progress in their relationship so fast, but he hasn't even wiped the sleep drool from his face yet.

Yeah.

Tavros can't come to the phone right now, sorry. Leave a message.

Dave: Disastrously continue misinterpreting emotions

You are now Tavros, but you are having a lot of trouble being Tavros. You are currently very confused and still very sleepy. For one thing you were shocked awake by some alien thing that is now stripping, which for all you know might just be a greeting or something to aliens but it sure isn't where you come from. Secondly you have no idea where you are and why you were sleeping here at all! You really wish you knew what was going on but you don't, you also don't know whether to book it or stay, also you don't know whether being slightly aroused in this situation would be appropriate or not. But probably not.
Gosh there sure are a lot of things going through your mind right now! Let's be someone with probably just as much, but who's being much mroe chill about it!

==>Be Dave

Well this is awkward.

You stand and stare each other down for a while, until you decide that awkward silences are not really your thing.

Dave: "sup"

=> Tavros: Answer Dave
