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!

You don't really have words to waste at yourself. Especially since you know what has happened, and you curse twice over at your stupidity.

You knew you shouldn't have tried this. It would have been better if you had failed. Now there's two halves of you.

Besides, you look like an idiot with that attire, and with a glance down at yourself, you realise you wear exactly the same clothes, up to the fluttering weird wings on your back.

You didn't actually expect to end up looking like this.

You didn't expect that twice, either.

Half of you wants to scoff and ignore the way the other half is looking at you with disapproval. The other half has half a mind to quit this shit and get rid of the other half.

All this half thing is making your head, as a whole, hurt.

And when your head hurts, it's far too easy to lose control of your psiionic powers.

The fact is that both halves of you are having the same exact problem.

Not just that, but your psiionics seem to be forcefully attracted to one another. You barely notice how the matching colours are somewhat un-matched now, because you're busy growling at your other half with all of your scorn.

SOLLUX1/: 2top beiing an a22, your power2 are me22iing up wiith miine

SOLLUX/2: you 2top iit

SOLLUX1/: oh my god, you're annoyiing. what wa2 ii thiinkiing iin lii2teniing two aa. now there'2 two of me. shit, kk ii2 goiing two have a fiield day wiith iit.

SOLLUX/2: who 2aiid iit had to be two of u2 godtiieriing? one dream 2elf ii2 enough two get through the 2e22iion.

SOLLUX1/: 2tep back then.

SOLLUX/2: you 2tep back.

SOLLUX1/: fuck thii2.

Moments in the past...

==> Second half of Sollux: pester KK

TA: thii2 wa2 a really terriible iidea.
CG: WAIT, YOU KILLED YOURSELF ALREADY?
TA: way two get two the poiint, a22hole.
TA: ye2, ii kiilled my2elf.
TA: that part wa2n't that bad, actually.
CG: OH GREAT, YOU ACTUALLY ENJOYED DYING.
TA: that ii2 the obviiou2 conclu2iion two be drawn from thii2.
TA: no, even though ii talk about beiing doomed all the tiime, ii diid not enjoy fuckiing dyiing.
TA: happy?
CG: WELL THAT'S GREAT, NOW I CAN DEPEND ON ONE BIPOLAR DOUCHEBAG OUT OF MY ENTIRE TEAM OF PSYCHOPATHS AND DEATH-LOVING FREAKS TO NOT FLIP HIS SHIT AND DIE ON ME UNEXPECTEDLY.
CG: OH WAIT, YOU'RE IMMORTAL NOW, SO IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I TELL YOU NOT TO DIE.
CG: OR YOU CAN ONLY DIE CERTAIN WAYS, I GUESS. SOMEONE STILL HAS TO EXPLAIN THE FUCKING SPECIFICS TO ME.
CG: I MEAN, IS IT TOO MUCH TO FUCKING ASK THAT THE LEADER OF ALL YOU WORTHLESS WRIGGLERS BE KEPT IN THE LOOP REGARDING SOME CRUCIAL DETAILS AS YOU TRY TO CRAWL YOUR WAY UP THE ECHELADDER?
TA: calm your 2hiit, kk. ii've got 2ome ii22ue2 two deal wiith riight now.
TA: liike the fact that there'2 two of me.
CG: WHAT?
TA: what, ii need two repeat my2elf two you now?
CG: I JUST CAN'T COMPREHEND A UNIVERSE IN WHICH TWO SOLLUX CAPTORS CAN COEXIST WITHOUT EVERYTHING EXPLODING INTO A LARGE FIERY MESS OF FAILURE. OUR UNIVERSE PROBABLY WOULDN'T EVEN BE THE ONLY ONE CAUGHT IN THIS CALAMITY.
TA: ii had two dream2elve2, whiich would make three of u2 exii2tiing iin our 2e22iion before ii kiilled my2elf, a22hole.
CG: NOT WHILE CONSCIOUS. I'M SURPRISED THAT YOUR DOPPLEGANGER HASN'T TRIED TO SHOOT YOU INTO THE ATMOSPHERE YET.
TA: huh?
CG: WELL THIS HAS GOT TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOUR QUEST RIGHT? YOU'VE GOT TO DOOM YOURSELF OR WHATEVER.
CG: WHY WOULD THE GAME HAVE TWO OF THE SAME PLAYER RUNNING AROUND TO FUCK SHIT UP? THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE.
TA: 2o ii 2hould kiill thii2 guy, then?
CG: OR HE COULD KILL YOU. IT DOESN'T REALLY CHANGE THE FACT THAT I WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH ONE OF YOU.
TA: what about the iimmortaliity deal?
CG: ONE OF THE CONDITIONS FOR DEATH IS PROBABLY TO GET KILLED BY YOUR ASSHOLE COUNTERPART. THAT WOULD SEEM LIKE A PRETTY FUCKING PERMANENT CONDITION FOR WHATEVER EVEN CONSTITUTES DEATH IN THIS GAME.
TA: whatever.
TA: iif thii2 doe2n't work ii'm comiing over to punch your face iin, even iif you are iimmortal by then.

And that's how that happened.

SOLLUX1/: Prove Karkat wrong.
