Mobius Double Reacharound FST - Revisited

Hi shippers! Welcome to Bonus Round 4! Bringing back a favourite from last year! (Sorry for the delay, we're very busy!)

Here’s how this is going to work: somebody will submit a selection of 3-6 songs without comment. Then somebody else will come along and create a companion fanwork to fit the soundtrack!

Rules

If you are submitting a soundtrack: submit only the track listing and download or youtube links. The idea is that people should ~interpret~ your selections!

You are not allowed to fill soundtrack prompts with your team's ship, nor are you allowed to fill your own soundtracks. (Filling your team's soundtracks is okay!)

Soundtracks count for 5 points each, for a maximum of 100 points per team.

Fills may be in whatever format you choose (except FST, of course) so long as they link the songs by mood and/or lyrics in some kind of narrative.

Post your fill as a comment to the prompt post, using the title format described below.

This challenge will run until 11:59PM EST August 3rd.

Title Format
If you are starting a new thread, please use this format in your title.

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 we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.

If you are filling a prompt, use this format in your title.

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 we cannot guarantee that it will 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
For prompt posts: 5 points each (maximum of 100 per team)

For Fills (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 scored content must be created/assembled 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!

(John<3Vriska)

You're not really a guy for clubs, you're more of the "Hey! Let's chill at the Applebees bar and get hit on by some MILF cougars!" kind of dude. And maybe the MILF part isn't so fun, but you're always surrounded by your best bros and lady-bros and that's enough for you!

But he insists, all shades and "Wow Egbert, you really have to try this place the babes are choice. Completely unforgettable." You agreed because you were impressed that he managed to make his voice sound like italics.

You didn't know that you had to drive from Washington to California to get to the damn place. 3 hours is too much to drive for a club, but you did have a fun time on the roadtrip there. You listened to shitty music in preparation for the shitfest about to go down as Rose called out lyrics she didn't know from the back seat.

You arrive, wait in line, and get carded like the best of them. You split from your friends at the insistence of Dave and Jade, who were both eager to find some anonymous face to fuck on the dance floor. They may or may not actually do that, but you can imagine.

The lights turn red and flash, and you hope no one in the crowd has a severe case of epilepsy, when you see her.

You let your mouth hang open, gasping in sweet awe. She's wearing daisy dukes, a bikini, and an eye-patch.

That is the lamest shit you've ever seen in your life.

She sees you staring at her. Oh shit, she's coming over. You try to hide underneath your bottle of Smirnoff Ice, before you realise that probably makes you look like the hugest pussy this side of the Pacific.

"Hey sexy!" she lisps into your face, drawing out the e to 8 beats per measure. You smell the ale oozing from between her teeth. "Do you know what song is playing right now?"

"Uh-"

"THAT'S RIGHT! You are a winner! It's Turn Me On by Nicki Minaj! Speaking of which, you know what I want to do with you right now?"

"Oh... Oh god... Uh, play... scrabble?"

"HahahahaHAHAHAHA no," her face becomes serious. "Doctor, doctor, I need you to... Turn me on."

You stare at her blankly. She grabs you by the arm and you really don't give enough fucks to resist, so you join her on the dance floor. She spends the entire time with her ass bent at a 90 degree angle and existing uncomfortably up in your nether regions, and your awkward flailing doesn't help anything progress smoothly. She winks at you when the song transitions (or blinks, you're not actually sure about this), and pushes you onto one of the tables surrounding the bar. You land flat on your back and you're very confused.

"You know, Gerome, if that is your real name-"

"It's not."

"I really like you!!!!!!!! I'm just going to slip my cell phone number into your pocket right here and damn I would love it if you called me when we're both sobered up. I'd be a lucky lady if you decided to ring me up tomorrow."

She punches you playfully in the arm, then dissipates into the crowd.

--------

You wake up in the hotel the next morning, more fortunate than your hungover friends. You dig in your pants pockets for your phone, when a piece of paper slips out. Oh yeah, that weird girl. You debate calling her or not. She was probably the most interesting thing to happen to you in your sleepy clubbing life, maybe you should give her a chance. You could see maybe one day, she'll have your heartbeat running away, beating like a drum and it's--

Enough of that. You text her.

hey! i'm that dude you threw on the table from last night. we should go out sometime. applebees?

(Dave/Rose)

Dave slammed the trunk and slid into the front seat of the car. He was sick of this town and yearned for a break.

"Does your brother know of your departure?" Rose asked after knocking on the opposite window.

"I told him I was taking a sabbatical," Dave replied with a smirk, as he revved the engine.

"Are you sure you want to leave like this? You know, just leave it all behind?"

"I'll be back in a bit."

"What constitutes 'a bit'?"

"From the range of weeks to months, 'a bit' is somewhere in there." A silence. Dave turned his head to look at her, the smile slowly leaving his face, "Come with me."

Rose initially was shocked with his offer, until she studied his features. He looked scared. He had no idea where he was going. He had no plan. He was going to be alone.

Rose moved into the Strider house a few years prior to attend high school in Texas. She and Dave had been planning everything before their guardians even had an idea. Dave had prepped her on which clothes to bring for the significant difference in temperature. He specifically told her that "theres nothing to do around here its so boring but if you come maybe itll be more entertaining for me." She told her mother that she didn't want to go to school in New York because all the other kids were too immature for her. She can remember so clearly the night that her mother and Dave's brother talked about it on the phone, while she waited outside the door for the "yes" verdict.

And, now, here she was again, deciding to make another move with Dave. She sighed deeply, his eyes, under frowning eyebrows, still locked on hers. He really wanted her--needed her to come with him. After all the years of psychoanalyzing him, Rose could read Dave like one of her novels and she knew he was scared.

"Okay," Rose clicked the car door and carefully came in.

Dave grinned smoothly, "Good, because I already packed your things and put them in the trunk. If you said no, you'd be missing some of your closet."

"Let's say the only reason I'm still in the car is for the protection of my habiliments, then," Rose buckled her seatbelt.

Dave stepped on the pedal and the two drove off unaware of the adventure that awaits them.

In Which Karkat Vantas Comes Down With a Case of the Cosby

(Dave♠Karkat)

Stepping through the hallowed halls of the grey meteor, Karkat Vantas finds a treasure chest. Unlike the 20 billion he left behind him, completely unopened due to the sheer stupidity of the concept, Karkat pauses at this particular lock. It's argyle. Argyle in clashing primary colors. His Kanaya sensibilities make him shudder with boiling rage as he touches the woolen texture of the edging. There is no way she will believe this inanimate monstrosity actually exists on the meteor.

Out of sheer horror, he opens the box. What lies inside is worse than any punishment the Grand Highblood could deal out. It's a sweater. A knit sweater. Karkat is vaguely aware this sweater represents everything awful about the human time period known as "the 80's," but that's not why this swath of fabric is the worst thing he's ever laid his globulars on.

It changes. The pattern on the thing changes every few seconds. Each pattern is worse than the last. A 12th Perigee's Eve scene with meowbeasts, neutral toned squares with plaid printing, a scene of a family in a hive, the list keeps growing. Karkat stares in horror as each iteration of the pattern flashes into his thinkpan. Sweet flying assholes, the look on Kanaya's face if she sees this... No, even better, the look on Dave's face.

Karkat smiles. Wearing this thing might be worth the pain if it means seeing what his comrades will do.

----------

yo flower of my life and bane of my loins you wouldnt happen to know where shitfaced mcbitchtroll is

Oh, Karkat? Why? Are you reconsidering his erotic threesome offer?

goddammit no i mean why would i even consider that bullshit
i know my dick is in high demand like the stock market is rising baby better buy all the tickets for huge cock company
because the strider bull market is going strong
no but really i just want to see if he dug up anything on the meteor
im as bored as hell and im not going to take this anymore

A scream echoes from across the hallway.

Sounds like you're in luck, Dave.

Kanaya is standing with her hands on her face, mouth gaping open at the horror of her friend. Karkat is struggling wildly, trying to pull off the godawful sweater.

holy shit

Is that-

Karkat Vantas You Get That Disaster Off Of Your Body Immediately Or I Will Be Forced To Remove It Using The Technique I Like To Call
The Eridan Ampora

I'M ZIP ZOP ZOOBITY TRYING OKAY? IT'S NOT HIP HOPPING COMING OFF.

Rose and Dave fall to the floor, laughing loud enough to wake the dead.

WHAT IN THE JAZZY ZAZAZA'S ARE YOU HIP KIDDIES LAUGHING ABOUT? THIS IS SOME SORT OF GOO GOO GA CURSE, OKAY. SERIOUS FLIP FLOPPITY BUSINESS.

Dave manages to squeak out a comment through the tears.

hey
hahahaha
hey karkat
you know what i like to play
hahaha
pokemon

Everyone can see Karkat's face twisting in pain as he tries to resist the inevitable reply.

P-
PPP-
POKEYMAHN!!!

Rose and Dave clutch at their stomachs in pain as they roll on the floor screeching.

YOU UNDIGNIFIED PIGGY PIG KIDDOS! I TOLD YOU WAY BACK IN THE BEFORE TIMES WITH THE JAZZ AND THE HUMMING THAT THIS IS SERIOUS! ESPECIALLY YOU, YOU YOUPIE-DO STRIDER. YOU ARE ZIPPIN' ZIP PATHETIC.

hahahaha oh this is fucking rich haha

Oh, hahaha, oh Karkat. You appear to have come down with the case of the-

hahaha

The Cosbies.

More screeching is heard from the humans as Kanaya and Karkat stare dumbfounded.

How Does He Cure This Unfortunate Disease

Rose sits up, wiping tears from her eyes.

Hmm, well, I suppose you just have to take off the sweater.

AND HOW DO I GO ABOUT ZOOMING THE SWEATIN' SWEATER OFF OF ME?

oh gosh karkat keep talking please

NO NO NOPEADOOP.

Rose tries to cough away the laughter. It doesn't work very well.

Just taking a guess here, but that sweater probably represents all that is Bill Cosby. In fact, I would say this garment is the essence of Cosby, so we should blast it with the direct opposite force to neutralise the power. Dave, help me think of something that's the opposite of the Cosby Show.

wow okay put this topic on the list of "conversations i never thought id be having ever"
so the cosby show is all like family friendly and 80s and shit
i can think of like twenty different things that are the opposite of family friendly that we could subject karkat to
like bukkake

Um, no. I don't think we have to resort to such extreme measures.
Although I'm glad the first thing you think of when discussing non-family friendly forms of meida is bukkake.
I will never forget this.

great

I think just a butt grab or something along those lines will do. Dave, grab Karkat's rump.

what no what
why me why not kanaya

The homoerotic activity of this action would bump the television rating another step.

who are these rating council members and why are they so homophobic

Just grab the rump, Dave.

Dave makes spirit fingers movements at a statuesque Karkat. Karkat's face begins to sweat from the pain of keeping his mouth shut. Dave moves his hand steadily downwards, pausing around the outer thigh of the troll. Karkat begins to struggle, but Kanaya smacks him lightly on the back of his head.

MMMPHZIPPITYMMPH

Dave continues around the thigh of Karkat, pausing slightly above the plump right buttcheek of the troll. He wiggles his fingers again as Karkat squirms.

He presses down with a strong grab, strong enough to throw ten trees at a caber toss. Karkat squeaks as the sweater stops on a cheery scene with a snowman. He punches Dave in the face.

THAT IS FOR FUCKING WITH ME WHEN I WAS UNDER A CURSE WORSE THAN BEING PURSUED BY A MURDEROUS CLOWN.

yeah youre welcome buddy

The sweater is still there, somewhere, hidden under piles of discarded coffee mugs and wizard fanfiction.

Memories of the 80's, Cosby, and sweet sweet rump grabs.
