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 imagine your future as a prosperous human family unit, raising a healthy growing egg.

TEREZI: ROS3 MY B34UT1FUL HUM4N M4T3SPR1T 1 4M HOM3 NOW 4ND H4V3 BROUGHT W1TH M3 TH3 CUR3D 4ND S4LT3D O1NKB34ST FL3SH.
ROSE: Ah, yes, I can see that. While I've doubtless stayed home alone, cleaning up after my terrible alien wife and our strange rotund child, an aberration whose unchanging face haunts my every waking moment.
ROSE: Every moment I long for escape. To finally make something of myself, to free myself from the cloying spittle-smelling floral apron of our marriage.
ROSE: Young Egg Lalonde-Pyrope will slowly wither under the weight of so much matrimonial discontent. We will drift away from each other.
ROSE: Ours will be a broken family.
ROSE: Poor Egg. Such a bright future, such a dark mind.
ROSE: I imagine the therapist bills will be massive.
TEREZI: WOW TH1S GOT D4RK F4ST.
TEREZI: DO W3 PULL OUR M4T3SPR1TSH1P TOG3TH3R 4T TH3 L4ST M1NUT3 TO S4VE OUR 3GGY CH1LD?
ROSE: Prognosis is doubtful.

Clearly more strategizing is necessary to ensure that your cluckbeast produce child grows up in a safe and loving environment.

>TEREZI + ROSE: Name the egg already.

TEREZI: OH W3LL
TEREZI: OUR 3GGY CH1LD W1LL GROW UP TO H4TE US

TEREZI: 1SNT TH4T HOW YOU N4ME HUM4N F3M4L3S?
TEREZI: 4DD1NG 4N 4 TO TH3 3ND?
Rose: Admittedly, that's how some people seem to do it.
Rose: At least in this language.
Rose: However, that is a strange name, even by the standards of those who throw an extra vowel to girl names.
Rose: She will hate us forever.
TEREZI: W4SNT SH3 4LR34DY GO1NG TO H4T3 US?
Rose: She will hate us even more.
Rose: She will also get bullied at school.

TEREZI: HOW 4BOUT R3D
Rose: That's more of a nickname than a name.
TEREZI : >:[
TEREZI: 1 4M NOT GOOD W1TH HUMAN N4M3S
TEREZI: WH4T 4BOUT CH3RRY?
Rose: I guess that works.
Rose: It's less likely to get her bullied than the names I had in mind.

> TEREZI + ROSE: Figure out how you are going to raise the cluckbeast spawn.

You are now Rose. It will be somewhat tricky to turn your mind to a task as ridiculous as this. As you attempt to stuff some of your logic and reason in a quiet mental compartment, you regard the vapid approximation of happiness imposed on the uppermost veneer your "child" is made to show to the world.

Hmm. You could really annoy Mom if you talk like this about the egg.

ROSE: Terezi.
ROSE: I propose this: After school is out, we go to my house to fulfill the aspect of this assignment where we work together to care for our progeny. Then you will leave Cherry to me for the night so that I may take responsibility for her for that time.
TEREZI: >:O
TEREZI: M1Z L4LOND3! TH3R3 1S 4 C3RT41N SOM3TH1NG 4BOUT YOUR PROPOS4L TH4T L34DS M3 TO B3L1EV3 1 D3T3CT ...
TEREZI: 4N ULT3R1OR MOT1V3
ROSE: Your tendency towards paranoia is starting to reach fascinating heights.
ROSE: Here, let me encourage it. Even if I do have some ulterior motive - do you believe you could work out what it is, even with your existing suspicion that such a motive exists?

>Terezi: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
