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!

As you begin to approach the other you, you think back on your words.
"You hope this isn't a bad a decision"
Wow was that a jinx? You bet it fucking was, go you! Jinxing yourself, who knows what will happen now.
This doucebag probably wants to kill you now or something, for some mundane reason you have nothing to do about probably to. Past you really is a sad, sad, nook stain. You weep for all past versions of you. Having to deal with being, well, past you.

You reach this dead god-tiered version of you and you resist the urge to step back. This you is shaking with what seem like unrestrained rage. His arms are held firmly at his side, fists clenching and unclenching, eyes glaring at you with so much hatred you are left dumbfounded.

Seriously what's this guys problem? And so you ask him, and wait for his response.

Dead Karkat: Respond.

This guy starts strolling up to you like you're any ordinary person. You're already the definition of pissed off, you have no idea what good Karkat B think's he's doing by confronting you.

He even asks what's the problem, and you think you're going to throw a fit.

KARKAT: **MY** PROBLEM?
KARKAT: YOU'RE ASKING WHAT ****MY**** PROBLEM IS?
KARKAT: LOOK AT YOU, ACTING CONCERNED FOR ME.
KARKAT: WELL, HERE'S *MY* PROBLEM.
KARKAT: YOU'RE MY PROBLEM.
KARKAT: THAT'S WHAT MY FUCKING PROBLEM IS.
KARKAT: AND **YOU**, I DON'T GIVE A SWEET ALMIGHTY TAINTCHAFING FUCK WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THAT.
KARKAT: AND DON'T YOU DARE TAKE ANY OF THIS THE WRONG WAY OR I AM GOING TO RIP YOUR THROAT OUT.
KARKAT: I THOUGHT I HAD PEACE AND QUIET HERE IN THIS DREAM BUBBLE, BUT *NO*.
KARKAT: ~***YOU***~ HAVE TO COME HERE AND ASK WHAT'S MY PROBLEM.
KARKAT: WELL THERE YOU HAVE IT, ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THAT ANSWER?

You're definitely throwing a fit and blabbering nonsense to him, and you regret it instantly. He's probably going think you're stupid, if he doesn't already believe that.

Now he has his hands up defensively and he's giving you a sort of surprised look, like he didn't expect this or for you to even respond to him.

Well, respond in that way. Yelling and all.

==>ALPHA KARKAT: Defend yourself against this rude and stupid idiot.

((Wow so this is a lot of fun so I'm going to respond everyother time, also your art is so cute.))

Oh boy do you plan on doing that! Who does this you think he is insulting you like that, something is definitely wrong with this ones thinkpan, no wonder he died.

"Okay, listen here you slow minded wriggler, I have no idea what your problem with me is, I have done nothing to you, fucking hell this is my *FIRST TIME* even talking to you. Perhaps your addled little mind is unable to spot the difference between me and some other past dead version of me. Which is stupid because I'm the damn Alpha timeline don't you guys have some like sensor for that shit?"

He seems to be getting angrier, you don't really notice though, lost in your rant and all that.

"And besides I don't need to deal with the moronic whining of some dead version of me, even if you did manage to reach god-tier. After all you probably died *LONG* before I did and didn't have to do with *ANY* of the bullshit I had to. You probably had a nice easy simple game, besides the dying part, and even then you reached god-tier. You didn't have to watch your friends go mad and kill each other. Seriously you can take your pissy attitude and stuff it up your nook because all yu are doing is whining about pointless shit. Fuck, you would have made a ***HORRIBLE LEADER*** with that attitude."

You cross your arms over your chest with a pleased smile, you got your point across, and this little shit cant do anything about it. Wow he is being silent, probably realized what an idiot he is.

==> Dead Karkat: Do something.

((Eek sorry that's a lot of speech clumped together.))
