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!

A crashed purple shuttle on a dark planet full of vines?

Your name is KARKAT VANTAS, and you've just regained consciousness. You're on a planet that you're not familiar with, in the middle of the night, in a forest that is actually kind of neat looking, with its endless network of vines and - oh, who are you kidding, it's fucking hideous and you're completely lost.

The good news, such as it is, is that there's no sign of pursuit. This is, in fact, amazing news; the entire reason that you've crash-landed on this forsaken planet is because you've been busy fleeing for your life with two of the highest-blooded members of Alternia's nobility in your small shuttle. You knew it was going to run out of fuel soon enough; you just hope you've managed to go far enough to lose your pursuers entirely.

The bad news, of course, is that both of your traveling companions regained consciousness before you could. You aren't entirely sure where they are, but you can hear them somewhere nearby. Arguing, of course. With each other.

Damn it. Can't they hold off for long enough that you can fucking get your bearings? You hope they can, because you've got to take a quick look around and figure out where you are. Sure, you care about their arguments, but that doesn't mean you're going to jump every time they sneer at each other.

> Karkat: Try to look around, already.

((excuse me before i answer but this is perfect, thank you for making this. Also i would draw sth but right now i'm unable to.))

You look around and sigh in exasparation as you see that the trees are fucking tall and unable to be climbed. Well at least it should keep you hidden from anyone looking at the forest from the sky so your pursuers would have to land themselves in order to find you.

You are standing on a small clearing which has nothing much interesting to keep your concentration any longer since the bickering of your two friends has gotten louder and unignorable any longer.

You burst through some vegetation to interrup their quarrel with a "Ok that's enough!! We have more problems than arguing now! And for christs sake you could've at least woken me up instead of leaving to argue!!". You flash them an angry stare waiting for their response.

>Eridan and Feferi: Respond

After a brief tussle of controls, you manage to take advantage of your opposite number’s abashedness at your mutual friend's reprimands.

You are now FEFERI PEIXES, princess on the run.

Your feelings about this development are somewhat conflicted, and you’ve successfully managed to push sorting them out further in the future so far, provided your former moirail doesn’t prod at them enough that they explode all over the both of you in a mass of torn-out beliefs.

This is probably one of the reasons why you are so short on patience at the moment.

The other reasons are: you’re tired, you’re filthy, you’re on the run, and your spacecraft just crashed.

Also, Eridan is denying W)(AT’S STEERING )(IM IN T)(-E FAC---E!

AS FUCKING USUAL.

You give him one last, contemptuous glare, and turn away from him to acknowledge Karkat, showing Eridan your back. You point accusingly at the big, clawed imprint on the ground. It’s big. Not Gl'bgolyb-big, but recuperacoon-big.

“Look what I’ve found, Karkat,” you say.

>Eridan: Say something before Feferi uses the m-word.
