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!

Well, that was the stupidest thing you could have done. Now you're even more confused! Augh. You suppose you have no choice but to visit her, though. Feferi is pulling out the big guns--nail painting is for very special occasions only. You would never admit outloud how much you loved it when she tinted your nails to a sort of magenta sparkly shade. No. Never, unless it was to her. In which case you insist she paint on the matching dolphin designs that go along with it.

You're getting off topic.

>Eridan: Visit Feferi.

Edited 2012-06-24 09:28 (UTC)

You are now visiting FEFERI PEIXES.

Her HIVE looks even messier than usual. That enormous PILE OF NAIL POLISH might have something to do with it. For a moment you wonder if she set up this pile for a FEELINGS JAM; something reserved for MOIRAILS only.

With more ANXIETY running through you than you'd like to admit, you sit down on her COMFY SOFA.

=> Feferi: Make small talk with Eridan while you decide which color(s) to pick.

...Which color(s) to pick))

You take a quick seat next to the NAIL POLISH PILE and begin searching for a suitable color for your moirail. The colors have to be absolutely perfect and compliment both him and you in every way possible!
But you decide you can also talk while doing this, no harm in that!

FEFERI: It shore has been quite awhale since you actually came to viship me.
FEFERI: I can't even remember the last tide you came into the water, shame reely
ERIDAN: yeah sorry
FEFERI: 38D oh don't be! I'm just glad your H---ER---E now!
ERIDAN: mmhm
FEFERI: 38( H---EY GRUMPY GILLS! somefin the matter?
ERIDAN: wwhat
ERIDAN: no wwhy wwould you think that
FEFERI: Eridan Ampora are you lying to your morial!? 38O GASP
ERIDAN: wwhat no
ERIDAN: fef wwhy wwould i lie to you
FEFERI: whale you shore seam grumpy aboat somefin.
FEFERI: waveever I think I've found the perfect color combo 38D

Feferi: Show Eridan the colors you picked out

It was tough, because buoy, that's a big pile of nail polish! And you're always adding to your collection, too. The nail polish pile doesn't stop from getting taller. In the end, you think you've narrowed it down to five colours.

The first one is pale pink, of course! Since this visit is all about celebrating your moirallegiance, it only makes sense to use the colour that's associated with that quadrant!

The second one is bright gold. You think it's pretty much equal measures of cute and annoying how he has such delusions of grandeur - er, you mean, such a healthy shellf-image! - regarding his royal status, and you think he'd probably appreciate how it matches his jewellery.

The third one is ultramarine, which you hope he won't go associating with blue blood when it's OBVIOUSLY supposed to represent the sea. Him being him, he probably will, but it's just such a pretty colour!

The fourth one is royal purple, exactly like his blood colour. This was an obvious choice.

The fifth one is purple-pink, your own blood colour! You ARE supposed to be choosing colours that are relevant to both you and him, after all. Plus, you think it'd be nice for him to have something that reminds him of you like that!

Now it's just a question of managing to apply the nail polish without it just floating up off the brush and out of the bottle. But for some reason, Eridan doesn't seem all that enthused about the nail painting, or your fintastic colour choices. If anything, he looks just as grumpy as usual, if not even grumpier!

> Feferi: What's his deal????? 38/
