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 Jane Crocker, and you're growing very frustrated. Things simply haven't been going your way lately! First, there was the whole debacle with Jake (which really is a terrible thing to think about so... moving on!) and now of course there's this game business! It's extremely important that you find your father, regardless of what those sassy shades may think.

Another concern of course is that you haven't heard from your friends, and the shade's words about Dirk and Roxy's current situations. At the least, AR can let you know that Dirk is doing well enough and relay any messages to him, but what of Roxy? The thought that your best friend might be in peril without any aid is truly troublesome!

You let this stir in your mind a while as you continue to explore the land within the game, still looking for signs of your dad. After a while, you simply can't stand it anymore! Thinking about Roxy's potential peril is truly troubling! What if something has already happened to her! How on earth could you live without her?

Gosh darn it this was simply too much to stand! You'd just have to hope she'd respond if you kept on trying!

==>Jane: Pester Roxy

-- gutsyGumshoe [GG] began pestering tipsyGnostalgic [TG] --

GG: Roxy? Are you there?
GG: Please answer!
GG: As intolerable as you may be sometimes, we are still best friends.
GG: I'm worried about you.
GG: Hello?
GG: ...
GG: Roxy?
TG: oh hey srry bout that
GG: There you are!!!
GG: Where on God's green earth have you been?
TG: no where special you know
TG: jus running around 2 my neighbors houses
GG: Neighbours? I was worried sick about you! Gosh. You make me so frustrated sometimes, you know that?
TG: im sorry
TG: uuuuugh janey
TG: you know i love u but
TG: im suffering from a killer hangover right now ;(
TG: i have a hangover and theres fire and just NOTHING is goin right
GG: Fire? What's going on?
TG: s kind of a long story
TG: so to put it short everythings cool now i just gotta get in the game soon
TG: but that should work out fine too
TG: no worries
GG: If you say so.
TG: n e way..........
TG: what does ur land look like? care to send pics
GG: I suppose it wouldn't hurt. Give me one moment!

>Jane: Take pictures of your land.

You take a picture of your land.

...maybe buying that SBAHJ: The Moive edition camera was a mistake. Who the hell uses polaroids anymore, anyway? You never really understood the point of this thing, or what connection it had to the moive. Maybe the SBAHJ guy just likes cameras or something. Ugh, you really don't want Roxy to think your land looks like it was drawn by a seventeen year old with a mouse, access to Google, an outdated version of Appleworks, and no artistic skill whatsoever. You must have a better camera lying around here somewhere...

>Jane: Take less shitty picture of your land.

You attempt to take a less shitty picture of your land.

This definitely isn't the best camera for taking landscape pictures! You suppose that will do for now.

==> Jane: Send picture to Roxy.
