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!

Kanaya: Examine FRIGHTFUL BEASTIE (FILL: TEAM KARKAT<3KARKAT)

[janeybriggs]

The monster, you note, is about FOURTEEN FEET TALL, AQUAMARINE in color, and leaving a trail of SLIME AND FALLEN TREES in its path. Its eyes are many and angry-looking, and the same can be said for the monster's teeth. There are long tentacles stretching from various parts of its body, as well as a number of shorter, almost grub-like legs, on which the monster walks towards you.

You instantly regret not bringing your CHAINSAW. Technically, you're forbidden from bringing your chainsaw to school, or to meetings with your WRITING CLUB, or, really, anywhere else where ACCIDENTALLY OR NOT-SO-ACCIDENTALLY DISMEMBERING SOMEONE is a possibility. You weren't even allowed to take it to gardening club, but sometimes you still bring it along, hidden in your makeup bag.

Today, however, is not one of those days. You are UNARMED, your phone is dead, and the monster is staring at you as if it wants to maim or seriously injure you. It's clear that you need to come up with some kind of PLAN.

> Kanaya: Come up with a plan (FILL: TEAM Alpha!Dave<3Alpha!Rose)

[andthus]

It is very hard to come up with a plan when something as grotesque and terrifying as this monster is coming towards you.

But you've worked in retail before so you know how to come up with plans when unreasonable demands are forced upon your body and mind.

You quickly take inventory of what you have on your person. You have a dead phone, a purse which has about 30 dollars in cash and a credit card, a makeup bag that does not have any deadly chainsaws in it, a scarf given to you from a dear friend, and the umbrella that you have been hiding from under the rain in.
