BONUS ROUND 2
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
- 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!

Re: >Rose: Get your victim's attention so you can properly... (Fill: Team Dolorosa<3Mindfang))
You are now the UNRULY ELDRITCH GIRL. Your first order of business is to shriek in an inhumane pitch and tone. Followed by a slurring gurgle. What a foul mouth you have! Perfect. It will surely get that girl's attention. The dead woman ignores you, however. She is apathetic. If there was an apathetic off she would surely win. Because when it comes to apathy she's the best there is.
Frustrating. Plan two then. Extending out your aura that is actually more like one of your limbs than an aura you grab this apathetic woman and begin banging her against the wall. The wall that she phases through because she is a ghost. Either way she is subject to great amounts of shaking about.
You laugh at this. Surely you will get her attention.

>Aradia: Ascend from OMNI-APATHY to APATHYNIRVANA (FILL: Team Roxy<3Autoresponder)
You would do that but you're rather busy at the moment lying face down in pain while bleeding with a black eye and several bruises covering your body. You're not really sure how the metaphysics of an extraplanar being and a ghost mix but she managed to leave you in quite a bit of pain. You were rather hoping the end would come in a swifter and less agonizing manner.
And her screaming won't stop either. It's making it so difficult to think. She's probably about to stomp on you or something too. Can't even be bothered to make it quick. It's almost as if you're starting to feel something towards this girl. She sucks. Yeah, something like that, except if you actually had some semblance of emotion, you're sure you would be hating her with an eternal passion right now for how much of an unrelenting piece of shit she is. But yeah, she sucks will do for now. Most disconcertingly, your OMNI-APATHY has downgraded back to EXTREME APATHY.
>Aradia: Delevel apathy even more.
>Aradia: Delevel apathy even more. (FILL: TEAM SLICK<3<SNOWMAN)
Caring that much about maintaining your apathy level loses you an apathy level. You drop from EXTREME APATHY to CONDITIONAL DISINTEREST.
Aradia: Well then.
ROSE: Th'yelhyti fr'ghashygl kyal!
Aradia: Feel detachedly pleased.
>Aradia: Feel detachedly pleased. (FILL: TEAM Dolorosa<3Mindfang)
The unruly eldritch girl, however, is not. In fact she seems to be absolutely pissed about this being punched. And so she jumps at you while shrieking loudly. Sadly she's also eaten the floor, absorbing it into her strange void of unnamable horror. You are now falling towards the floor in the next room with a rather horrid girl attempting to strangle you. Or maybe she is slapping you. She can't seem to decide which form of violence she wants to dedicate herself to. It's unpleasant either way and while you don't feel actual hate you can safely say that you do not like this woman in the slightest.

Either way, you hear a boom from nearby overhead. Letting out a casual string of swears, you go and investi--
WHAT THE FUCK. It would appear as though two violent, young lasses have dropped in through your ceiling while in the middle of a particularly venomous strife BUT GOOD SHITTING GRUBFUCKING HIGH BLOOD, IS THAT ONE TRYING TO BITE OFF THE OTHER'S FACE?!
