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 name is Aradia Megido and you have just arrived.

Your school, St. Carmine, is holding a semi-formal dance. All your friends are here. But your enemies are, too. You dragged your boyfriend, Solluxander Captor, along so you wouldn't be alone. No matter how many times you insisted, he wouldn't leave his dumb 3D glasses at home. He never goes anywhere without that piece of plastic. He gets possessive about certain things. Mostly you.

Looking around, it seems like you're the last to the party. What will you do?

Aradia: Scope out room.

You look around, and see that most of your friends are spread throughout the room. Your enemies, however, appear to be concentrated in the center- all dancing together. How did that end up happening?

Oh, well. You drag Solluxander over to the first friend you see, Feferi. She seems pretty happy to see you, and gives your boyfriend a smile as well.

Aradia: Wave and say hello.

You see a lot of your friends near the snacks. There's Vriska with John, and Karkat with Terezi, and Feferi and Eridan on a 'friend date'. Gamzee's there, and the backside of one miss Lalonde.

The party has probably just started, since nobody's dancing yet.

Aradia: Talk to Solluxander

ARADIA: wow! everybody looks so nice!
ARADIA: and the music is really cool
ARADIA: sollux look! all those colorful lights on the dance floor!!
ARADIA: i cant wait to start dancing
SOLLUXANDER: ii can't waiit to get the fuck out of here.
SOLLUXANDER: really though, what are we 2uppo2ed to do now, dance or 2omethiing?
ARADIA: sollux lets do it!
SOLLUX: what.
ARADIA: dance!
ARADIA: we should start dancing and get everyone dancing too
SOLLUXANDER: WAIIT, BUT WHY U2??

You drag your grouchy partner to the center of the dancefloor.

>Solluxander: Dance

Edited (solluxander) 2012-06-25 03:25 (UTC)

You do so, somewhat begrudgingly. To be honest, you're not sure who's worse at dancing - you or your date. At least you're being fools together.

ARADIA: see? isnt this fun?
SOLLUXANDER: defiine fun.
ARADIA: dont be such a spoil sport!
ARADIA: see? everybody else is enjoying themselves
SOLLUXANDER: they're laughiing at u2.
ARADIA: theyre laughing with us!

> Everybody else: Be laughing at SOMETHING

>You can't be everybody else laughing because everyone else is standing in awe at
what the hell is happening at the fruit punch bowl ohmygod

There is shock.
There is confusion.
Some may ACTUALLY be turned on.
But above all
There is alcohol
