Bonus Round 2

The Return of Round Robin Fanadventures

Comments have been screened; we will be tallying the points over the next 48 hours or so, after which we will unscreen the comments. Comments have been unscreened! You may continue the fanadventures on this post as long as you like, though we will not be awarding further points.

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!

>Jane: Try to find your best friend. (FILL: TEAM ERIDAN<>ROSE

[thelawisnotmocked]

It seems that in the darkness, it is much harder to find said friends than expected! Being closer to the ground is probably better, serving the double purpose of feeling quite a bit safer from zombies (who are no doubt very tall and maybe won't notice you all the way down here) and decreasing the risk of running into things. Quite a few popcorn kernels dig into your knees as a result, however.

You soon find a single SHOE. It no doubt belongs to your best friend, Roxy! It seems that this heart-pounding action-thriller has suddenly become...

...a MYSTERY!!!

>Jane: Follow trail of popcorn.

You begin to follow the popcorn trail, which you are very glad never branches out in different directions, you don't need that hassle!

The trail is long and uneventful, you weren't even aware this house was this big! Maybe it just seems bigger because of the dark? You wish you knew where you were, you know you are still on ground level because you have yet to encounter stairs but still where in the house? It feels so strange to be lost in a house you've been to so many times.

Oh.. you think the trail is ending! Finally, it has been forever! You grin, happy to finally be at the end, you bump into a door and realize the end is on the other side. Cautiously you open the door and on the other side you find-

*SHRIEEEEEEEEEEK* what the hecccccck!

==> Choose character.

==> Choose Character (FILL: TEAM JAKE<3JOHN)

[genello]

You are now DIRK STRIDER. You've never had any particular interest in horror films. Movies were all well and good, but My Little Pony was better.

Sadly, your friends had not learned to appreciate the show. Shame. If they had, they might have understood that friendship is magic and that sticking together is always better than splitting up.

You had sent Jane out first, her being an expert private eye and all, but after five minutes the others had become restless. First Jake ran off to fend off the zombies--not even a weapon in hand. (Your best bro needs to think through things a little more.) Then Roxy had insisted on running to the kitchen to return the popcorn and get a drink of water. You tried to go with her, but she refused, saying someone had to wait for Janey to come on back.

You're pretty sure she went to the wrong floor, much less the wrong room. And if those thumps you heard were anything to go by, her feet weren't all that sure in the dark.

This is ridiculous. Zombies don't even exist. It was probably just a fuse.

And yet....

Must be some fuse if the whole house shut off.

You're getting nervous, despite yourself. Time to find the others.
