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!

Oh, it looks like your friend underneath is having a problem with the height difference that divide you two.

Luckily you own quite a lot of gibbeted scalemates and are not afraid of using them.

At least, after all they've done in life, their corpse will be useful to the society.

Terezi: Drop a scalemate.

You search around in a manner that belies your anticipation. You need a good strong, noose, or Aradia won't be able to rest her weight on it. Just when you have picked the perfect candidate and go to through it out the balcony like Troll Rapunzel, you bump straight into Aradia.

How on Alternia's fictional twenty-seventh moon did you forget that she was psychic? No matter.

She is dusty and tangled and probably starving, if the amount of her archaeology work left on her clothing is indicative of how much time she has spent doing it. Perhaps you have something you can whip up for her.

> Aradia: Ponder the existence of a sauteed salad.

You ponder its existence for quite a while. Yes, you’re pretty confident that it’s a real thing. Terezi’s version, however, you’re not so sure about.

Meanwhile Terezi’s doing that twitching thing with her mouth—anxiously waiting for your answer.

“If you don’t want sautéed salad I could whip up something else for you? How about a fine scalemate roast?”

You are hungry, but food is the furthest thing from your mind. You came here for a reason. And, all things considered, it’s pretty important!

>Aradia: Tell Terezi something pretty important!

wooops forgot her horns. :/

You start telling Terezi all about the amazing tombs you've found in the caves near Tavros's hive and all the possibilities some of the artifacts they contain can open towards understanding those weird frog-themed ruins you've been exploring lately!

Sollux says some of it even looks like code, and it just feels really important somehow that you figure these things out. Even more so than usual!

Maybe you're getting a little bit carried away...

> Terezi: Be mesmerized by Aradia's adorable exuberance.

You're on it.

>Aradia: Ask Terezi's opinion on your theories
