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!

Jake: Answer her question (FILL: TEAM DAVE<3DAVE)

GT: Hmm well i cant say im exactly unused to wondering about such matters.
GT: In fact its not even news to me to have to ignore rackets such as the one that chuckleheaded automaton over there is making right now as i do so! I reckon i have just envisaged running through this conversation with you one too many times perhaps haha.
GG: That’s not what you said last time.
GT: Wait when?
GG: I’m feeling the strangest sense of déjà vu.
GG: It’s as though we were on script, but we’ve just begun to improvise.
GG: Are you sure you don’t know what I mean??
GT: Now you come to mention it there is a rather queer feeling to this conversation.
GT: I dont know about scripts or any of that city slicker intellectual junk but
GT: Hells bells one minute please jane!!!
GG: Jake?

Your brobot has disappeared – one minute it was raising godawful bedlam behind you on the rocks and now neither it nor the rocks are anywhere to be seen. The world through your skulltop flickers through the luminous colours in your eye panels, but you are pretty freakin' sure you have never been anywhere quite this grey and dead in your whole entire existence!

GG: If you’re there, could you come back online?
GG: …
GG: Well then.
GG: My bedroom has just turned into my Land and I can’t see my house anywhere.

The territory around you is all crags and jutting stone and weird light glimmering off the marble pillars of what look to be thoroughly temptingly unransacked tombs. It is absolutely still and completely lifeless.

You would probably consider this an inauspicious start to your adventure, if you had the foggiest idea of how to even entertain negative thoughts in the first place!

GG: Also. Um.
GG: There’s a
GG: There’s a hole in my stomach.
GG: Oh boy!
GG: Hoo hoo!!!!!!!!
