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!

You're trying, you really are, but it's just so hard to watch Rose be so tender with Eridan. He isn't a bad person, but he does tend to be very prone to misinterpreting romantic signals. Plus there was that one time where he DESTROYED HALF THE PROP TABLE, and with it, got rid of the antique ornamental orbs passed down to you by your mother.

So just... Fuck that guy.

But you have things to do! Important things! They can only rehearse those tender face touches in their street clothes for so long, and the only thing more awful to you then the idea of Rose flirting with Ampora is the idea of Rose and Ampora flirting in front of an entire crowd of people watching them flirt with no costumes to make it clear to the plebeians that they are simply playing a roll.

>Kanaya: Look over your initial design sketches.

This is going nowhere.

You just can't focus on designing perfect costumes with Eridan hanging all over Rose--even if they are in character. You need to get Rose alone. That's the only way you are going to get anything productive done. But how do accomplish it? Obviously, Rose is on stage right now. You need to think of a distraction.

>Kanaya: Make a mess.

You succeed in making a spectacle of yourself.

>Rose: Examine distraction.

Oh geez. Kanaya's freaking out and making a huge spectacle. This is going to end badly if no one intervenes, and she'll be very upset later for acting so impulsively.

At least when you make a spectacle you make sure to do in ways that will infuriate your mother instead of yourself when it's all done.

Rose: Go see what has worked Kanaya into such a tizzy.

You walk off stage leaving Mr. Ampora to fall into his typical pit of confusion and self pity. You honestly don't care however. What you do care about is the matter concerning Kanaya's apparent...distress you would suppose?

ROSE: Might I inquire as to why our backroom is currently in a far more disheveled state than is the norm? If you can't stand the typical state of this place I can't imagine that you'd be complacent with it's current appearance. So do tell me, Kanaya. What on earth has possessed you into knocking over the makeup table?

KANAYA: I Regret To Inform You Rose That I Have Not Knocked Over The Makeup Table Knowingly It Was An Accident

ROSE: An accident from the woman who color coordinates her mechanical pencils and can waltz through a crowd of unruly teens without marring a single portion of her meticulously designed outfit. Of course. I should have expected as such.

KANAYA: Rose Please You Are Being Quite Insufferable At The Moment I Didnt Knock Over The Makeup Table On Purpose As Some Manner Of Protest Or What Have You

ROSE: Of course not. I just agreed with you, darling. Now please do divulge the salacious secrets of you troubled subconscious. Inquiring minds demand to know.

KANAYA: You Just Stated That You Agreed With Me And Yet You Continue To Insist It Wasnt An Accident

ROSE: I've said nothing further in argument in regards to the matter of the makeup table. We've quite moved on from that thread of discourse. This is just a general "what's up yo you be looking like shit" as our dear, Dave Strider might say.

>Kanaya: Weigh options. Run away or do what you meant to do when you knocked over the table

You detach yourself from your THEATRICAL ROMANTIC INTEREST to go over to your CURRENTLY SPASTIC FRIEND. Said THEATRICAL ROMANTIC INTEREST takes this as well as he does anything, which is to say... not too well. Not too well in an amusing way, though. Which only infuriates him further when you tell him that, and for some reason you find him getting all childishly pissy to be highly entertaining.

ERIDAN: wwhere you goin noww
ERIDAN: not able to cope wwith the sheer awwesomeness that is our scene
ROSE: As much as I'd like to say yes, and therefore stroke your already over-inflated ego-- which you know I simply cannot get enough of doing-- I feel like taking the high road for once and practising this thing called honesty.
ROSE: It's Kanaya.
ERIDAN: oh yeah wwoww wwhats up wwith her
ROSE: I have no idea. That's what I would like to find out, if you'll deign to let me take a moment to speak with her.
ERIDAN: yeah yeah sure go on

Now that you have his PERMISSION, which you're certainly incredibly thankful for, you can get on with asking your FASHIONISTA FRIEND what's wrong.

[show dialoglog]
ROSE: Okay, you're making a spectacle. What's wrong?

==>Kanaya: Answer Rose

Edited 2012-06-25 22:06 (UTC)

KANAYA: I Am Having A Little Difficulty With Your Costume
ROSE: And that warranted a tantrum?
KANAYA: Yes Well Its Very Frustrating

You feel rather silly now, but nevertheless, your distraction has worked. You're both alone, here on the stage. Now that you think about it, it's sort of romantic, the sort of scene found in one of your novels. You think you'll work this to your advantage.

Kanaya: ask Rose to sit down with you

((hey guys i misread that kanaya was on the stage too haha so lets just pretend she magically transported herself there)

KANAYA: Rose It Really Would Be Preferable If You Were To Sit

KANAYA: Next To Me So That I May Better Examine And Fiddle With Your Costume As If I Dont The Audience Will Surely Leave The House In Furious Upset Deigning Never To Return To Our Schools Productions

Rose: While I regret to inform you that the average theatre goer, especially at the high school level, could not care so much about the exactness of the costuming I will accede.

Rose takes a seat next to you in her typically elegant fashion. It's really quite annoying at times since it's terribly distracting. The woman exudes the purest class and if there is one thing you love it's that.

>Kanaya: Pretend that this isn't a shameless flirting gambit
