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!

Psycho? You prefer to think of it as enlightened, but there's not much time to dwell on technicalities. Your name is GAMZEE MAKARA, and the Messiahs have decreed to you that you are to carry out their orders, to go forth and spread the good word. You shall speak, and the world shall listen.

Simple preaching wasn't sufficient, and so you'd gladly shown your friends your personal point. After all, you're higher than them, they should be so glad to receive your words.

Except one who just had to go and be salty and run away. You couldn't have that, of course, so you've taken to following. No sense in running, you'll find him eventually and show him the error of your ways.

The tunnels of the meteor are so very empty, so many little hiding places, you're not sure where you should start first.

>Gamzee: scout about for signs of the sea dweller

(( quick warning for a bit of harsh language.)

At first glance you see nothing of interest. The halls are eerily silent and there doesn’t seem to be a sign of any living thing. Really it seems like you’re alone here with your mother fucking self. But you know better. The sea dweller is near. You can just about sense it.

Maybe a little persuasion is needed here. Taking one more glance around you call out.

“Come out, come out little fishy. Just want to play. Just a little playtime, I promise. It’ll be full of motherfucking miracles.”

===> Eridan: Don’t listen to a word of that.

Like you needed to be told that. Does it look like you have a death wish?

You saw what that psycho clown did to Zahhak and even though you never liked him much the sight made you vomit up every single thing that had ever been in your stomach. No way you're going to let him do that to you. Ever.

Now, you press yourself up against a wall. You can hear him around the corner, farther up the hall. You hold your breath and stand stock-still, desperately hoping that he chooses to look in some other direction.

Hey, you're the Prince of Hope, right? Surely that should give you some advantage in that department? Right? Right???

>Eridan: Be forcibly reminded that "Prince of Hope" can reasonably be translated as "Destroyer of Hope".

Yeah, yeah, you're well aware of your fuckin' title, thank you very much. But by what you've seen so far, it seems as if you're the destroyer of other people's hope, and it looks like other people are about to come around the corner right freaking now.

By other people, you mean the psychopathic murderclown who wants to paint the walls with your beautiful blood.

That much should have been pretty damn obvious, you think.

Eridan: Look for a better place to hide.

This hiding place isn’t going to last you long. Gamzee is far too close to it and you swear his senses have been heightened since he entered this sober mode. You have to move and now. But there is the little matter of that he’s so close to you that you could reach out and touch him.

Maybe if you back up slowly he won’t hear you moving and you can find a new hiding spot. So carefully you begin to back up.

===> Gamzee: Be behind Eridan.
