Bonus Round 5

Tales from the Road

Hey, shippers! HSO is winding down, so we thought we'd take a look back at the journey, so to speak. With that in mind, this next bonus round is going to be roadtrip-themed! Give us a little taste of your characters' life on the road, whatever form that takes.

Rules

Submit prompts! Prompts should consist of one ship (friendship/gen is fine too!) and a location. This cannot be your team's ship! This round we will not be giving points for prompts.

Look through the prompts and fill whichever you like!

You may not fill prompts for your ship, nor may you fill your own team's prompts.

Fills should be posted as replies to the prompts which they are for, following the format below. They may be any medium.

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 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 fills (as stated here):
First 5 entries in each post: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10 in each post: 20 (per entry)
Entries 11-15 in each post: 10 (per entry)
Entries 16+ in each post: 5 (per entry)

All scored content must be created/assembled new for this round.

If you have any questions, please ask them at the FAQ post here, or email them to us (homestuck.shipping at gmail). Otherwise, we cannot guarantee that we will see them in a timely fashion!

Bonus Round 5 is now closed!

16/08/12 Comments are unscreened again, for the sake of comments on fills. No new fills are being counted for points.

"Oh for—Gamzee, goddamnit, don't touch that!" you bark.

Gamzee looks over his shoulder at you from where he's crouched on the floor, and you'd swear his grin is smug. "Sorry, best friend," he says calmly.

You're barely looking at the body, barely registering the splashes of green all over the block. Sometimes you'd swear he fucks up crime scenes just to give you something else to worry about.

When Kanaya brings green-stained fingertips to her lips, you groan. "Not you, too," you say. "It is not snack time right now. It is crime-solving time."

"Agreed," Kanaya says. "However, in the absence of a portable blood-testing laboratory, I am our most reliable option." She licks her lips thoughtfully. "There are traces of some foreign substance in the victim's blood, suggesting he was poisoned as well as bludgeoned."

"Oh, shit yeah," Gamzee says, nodding. "That would motherfucking explain it."

You don't want to ask, but you're in charge of this circus. "Explain what?" you ask.

Gamzee gestures at the blood splatter on the walls. "That ain't how a motherfucking greenblood sprays when it's fresh," he says. "Shit's gotta be wicked kinds of clotting up already to stick like that."

Your thinkpan starts to throb, warming up for the incredible migraine this case is going to become. "So our killer is someone who would poison their target, allow the poison to take hold, and then horribly abuse the corpse to try to disguise the crime."

Kanaya nods. "That rules out perhaps half of all trolls," she says.

You take a deep breath. "Motherfucker," you say.

Gamzee laughs his loud, honking laugh, and Kanaya's lips twitch as she resists a smile.

"This case is going to suck," you tell them both. "Okay. Let's see what else we can find around here before we start rounding up suspects."

This makes Karkat's life even more hilariously filled with pain than I had anticipated. Thank you. :D

"Sometimes you'd swear he fucks up crime scenes just to give you something else to worry about."
Ha, that sounds all too plausible.

"in the absence of a portable blood-testing laboratory, I am our most reliable option" is a glorious line. Best detectives, good team!
