Bonus Round 2

The Return of Round Robin Fanadventures

Comments have been screened; we will be tallying the points over the next 48 hours or so, after which we will unscreen the comments. Comments have been unscreened! You may continue the fanadventures on this post as long as you like, though we will not be awarding further points.

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

1. 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!
   
2. 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!
   
3. 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">
   
4. For this challenge, there is no minimum wordcount. We are trusting you not to abuse that fact!
   
5. You may not comment twice in a row in one adventure. The point is to hand off the scene like a hot potato.
   
6. 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.
   
7. 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.
New [THEIR SHIP] Game (FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP])
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.
[COMMAND] (FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP])
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!

> Tavros: Kick your shoe off in the direction of Gamzee's head.

[lacertae_dreamscape]

You wiggle a bit, then swing your legs as hard as you can-

Unfortunately, your AIM is off, suffering from your vague annoyance at your current position.

You miss Gamzee's face by quite some distance.



If you had been using your faithful LANCE, you know you would have hit his face right in the middle, causing him PERMANENT DAMAGE and maybe a very unpleasing SCAR, but thankfully you were simply flailing your legs around.

Not that you would ever want to hurt your matesprit.

You would, perhaps, like him to wake up and help you, but that might be just WISHFUL THINKING on your side.

You do not want to think about what some other troll would say if they were to find you like that.

==> Tavros: ponder whether to use your remaining shoe or not.

>Tavros: Ponder whether to use your remaining shoe or not. (FILL: Team Eridan<3<Vriska)

[seerofbread]

You ponder whether to use your remaining SHOE or not. It seems risky to leave yourself completely without options. You should probably try to think of something else, but what?

You remove one (1) GOLD COIN from your inventory, gently caressing it with your fingers. It's very smooth, very pretty; you think it could be useful to TRADE, but you haven't encountered someone who values these coins as much as you do yet. You hope that the soothing motion and feel of soft, smooth gold against your fingers will assist you in THINKING.

You cannot take your mind off of THROWING THINGS AT YOUR MATESPRIT. He kind of is the only troll you have contact with, because you have no COMPUTERS in your inventory and so cannot pester anyone else.

As you polish the gold, uncertain if your motions actually contribute to its shininess, you wonder what else you could possibly throw at him.

And then it hits you, and you kind of hate yourself because wow it has been right there this whole time you've been thinking.

>TAVROS: Throw extra HAT FEATHERS.

TAVROS: Throw extra HAT FEATHERS (FILL: TEAM GAMZEE<>KARKAT)

[rex]

Of course! It's so obvious.

You retrieve your extra HAT FEATHERS from your inventory. You are so lucky that playing FLARP has taught you a lot about inventiveness and creativity.







It's just a shame that it hasn't taught you much about physics.

> Tavros: Give up and throw coins at Gamzee.

[>Tavros: Give up and throw coins at Gamzee] (FILL: TEAM [Eridan<3Equius])

[bossbijou]

God, you're so DISGRUNTLED about your situation! You throw the COIN down, and it lands in the tin of SOPOR SLIME, successfully sending some FACEWARD. GAMZEE, however, does not respond to this, other than twitching in his sleep a bit and HONKING at you.

Alright. That's just adorable.

You watch him for a moment, before realizing that perhaps you were on to something. You eject the GOLD COINS from your inventory, sending one to the ground, and the other in Gamzee's HAIR. He does not respond to this, and the coin has promptly disappeared in the act. You're sure you may never see it again.

>Tavros: Whine and flail your legs

>Tavros: Whine and flail your legs (FILL: TEAM EQUIUS>3GAMZEE)

[sinnovedades]

You whine and flag your legs in the most desperate possible way.





You stop at the sound of a mumbling. It looks like Gamzee awoke at the sound of your whining? Why didn't you thought of that before!
You start calling him to finally awake him.





You did it! He looks at you happy to see his beautiful couple as the first thing when he awakes. You blush a little at the little flirt, but you go back to the normal. There is no time for cute and flushed matesprite time. You know what you have to do.

Tavros: Be Gamzee
