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 are now ARADIA MEDIGO and you are on a trek into some really dark cavern! It's quite the adventure and very dangerous but you are quite certain that there are some ancient skeletons of many extinct beasts down in these caverns. You simply must excavate them! IT IS YOUR CALLING!
While you knew your morail was asleep you left him a message saying where you'd be, you knew if he knew of the danger you were putting yourself in he would try to weasel you out of going. And you simply couldn't have that now could you?

>Tavros wake up

You are now TAVROS NITRAM and you are now AWAKE.

After spending quite a bit of time managing to haul yourself out of your recuperacoon and into your four wheel device you start to get ready for the night.

Getting dressed would be a chore if it wasn't for your friend KANAYA who made you a shirt that snaps open to allow for your overly large horns.

After performing all of your morning ablutions you enter your food preparation block and get yourself some food to eat, saying hello to your lusus TINKERBULL as you do so.

As you start to eat you open your husktop to check for any messages you may have gotten. Oh, it looks like you have one from your moirail!

>Read Aradia's message

You scan over the message to get the details down.

Aradia tells you that she has discovered a cave or something somewhere. It sounds kinda dangerous but really cool. You're not sure if you could have been confident enough to have gone in there by yourself.

There's one part of your moirail's message that really gets to you, though. Something that tightens up your blood pusher with the palest of concert.

Aradia usually doesn't excavate extinct animals. She leaves that for the paleontologists. Something just seems a little off. You feel like you're not getting the whole story and you're suddenly worried for her safety. Like, maybe she's been kidnapped or mind-controlled by some highblood and forced to do these things.

Your pale feelings of protection shoot through the roof and overrun any lack of confidence and courage you might have.

Tavros: Try to figure out a way to get to your moirail
