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 ROSE LALONDE and you are currently waiting for your friend KANAYA MARYAM to open her door and allow you and your close friend, JADE HARLEY entrance to her hive. You ignore how innuendo-like your previous statement sounds and continue to patiently await Kanaya's grand opening, which will certainly be spectacular, she is a perfect host.

The door is opened and the two of you are ushered inside by Kanaya, with all the grace of a swan, not only a swan, infact, but a goddess swan, reigning over all other swans with beauty and power. Goddamn, is she attractive.

The three of you sit down in the small seating area and are faced by a slight awkward silence.

>Jade: Make small talk

JADE: you truly outdid yourself, kanaya!
JADE: the house, i mean hive, looks lovely
JADE: and you still managed to look so pretty as always!
KANAYA: I Am Most Grateful That You Think So
KANAYA: Although I Actually Have No idea How Humans Usually Greet Their Guests Im Glad I Seem To Have Gotten It Right
KANAYA: And Its My First Time
JADE: your first time???
JADE: what do you mean?
KANAYA: Ive Never Had The Chance To Be Host To Humans
KANAYA: Or Any Kind Of Creature Capable Of Reasoning At All
JADE: ohhhhhhhh....
KANAYA: And I Think I Can Consider Myself Very Lucky To Have You Two As My First Guests Ever
JADE: awwwww
ROSE: We are glad you invited us as well. Now, lets make an end to this endearing exchange of compliments and allow Kanaya to show us her hosting skills at work.
ROSE: What should we do now, then?
JADE: oh yes!!! let the fun start!
KANAYA: Alright

> Kanaya: Prepare a game

> Rose: Spin the dial.

The game commences with you playing the part of the referee. On your fifth spin it’s left hand on green, which is immensely pleasant for you, since the move requires Kanaya to stretch the length of the board, which requires her shirt to ride up and expose some of her stomach, which requires you and Jade to surreptitiously examine the flesh.

But Kanaya’s position is proving to be a distraction for Jade, if the squawk following her near collapse is any indication. Her face turns red.

In the meantime, you’re tapping your foot and smiling, content to watch them get completely tangled up in each other.

>Jade and Kanaya: Become tangle buddies.
