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

1. 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.


2. Look through the prompts and fill whichever you like!


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


4. 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.
PROMPT: TEAM [YOUR SHIP]
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.
FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP]
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!

shit wher-
car accident, categorized as hit-and-run. perpetuator still unfound by public. december third, 2012, 9:18 pm.

you're a dead man, dave strider.

He smiles somberly at you. Stunning blue eyes, a mop of messy black hair, shining with a whitish-cyan light. Wings on his back, an oddity in the swirls of red and black around you. Beads of sweat shyly step down your neck, and you raise your eyebrows.
oh, you say. welp
that really it? 'welp?' geez, i thought the job would be lots more interesting. more dramatic and hilarious reactions to record in my death diary.
well sorry to disappoint kiddo you say. aint really that upset right now. i feel sort of dull.
He waves a dismissive hand at you. better get used to it, bro. happy bday, by the way.
well ill be darned
thats all death is
thought itd be an exciting new adventure for my soul to undergo traversing the afterlife hanging off a cloud watching my loved ones
what happened guys this is one unsatisfied customer
geez, you are kind of a huge insufferable prick. he says, and you shrug.
anyways, welcome.
to what?
the door to hell.
welp
is now a good time to say forgive me father for i have sinned or is it too late mister angel
it's john.
woah angels have names???
you're not really racking any going-to-heaven brownie points here.
so am i not destined to burn
not yet.
You arch an eyebrow, lips pressing together in a thin line.
so
how do i get these aforementioned brownie points
well, it doesn't take much. you're here for wasted potential. you could've done so much, and you knew that. but you didn't do anything, and showed no signs of wanting to help the world.
excuse you i ran a fabulous blog
His mouth twitches from the slight frown he's been holding this entire time. congratulations, the world has benefited by your punk ass blog. dave, i'm a fucking angel. i know about your 26 followers.
fuck you i wanted thirty before my 16th
yeah, whatever.
ok so
what do i need to do to not go to hell
you didnt exactly clarify
oh, right. you just gotta make me laugh.
well fuck
He looks unimpressed.
uh
knock knock
who's there?
doctor
doctor who?
ba dum tss
He looks really unimpressed. You're screwed.
aight listen to this one
what did one wall say to the other
see you at the corner.
no you jerk im supposed to finish the jokes
He rolls his eyes. You just had an angel roll his eyes at you.
jesus christ
alright uh
what is a storms favorite article of clothing
He widens his eyes the tiniest factor and asks innocently, what?
his
...
thunderpants
He smirks a little and you jump internally.
woah there buster
got a grin out of you does that count
no.
fuck dammit
it's gotta be a laugh, man. i can smile all i want. As if punctuating the sentence, he outright beams at you, a genuine childish grin with his front layer of teeth poking out.
And holy shit, that smile sent goosebumps down your arms and you did not know angels were so cute.
thats a stupid smile, you say dumbly.
you're a stupid smile. he says back.
You look him in the eye, sigh a little.
damn son
look man i have no idea how to sway you give me a hint here
what are your tastes
are you like one of THOSE kids
those kids?
yeah man the kids who hole themselves up in the basement with a cup of lukewarm coffee singing the ghostbusters theme song laughing alone with their nineties pride and alternating between sobbing and laughing over their pure lack of a life and what the fuck are you doing
He’s laughing. He’s actually laughing, but it sounds so fake that you want to just run your face into your fist. Flat and toneless, simple and stretched apart “ha ha ha”s that leave you awkwardly shifting your weight between your feet but it’s alright, because he’s smiling and that’s all you need.
that cant be your real laugh
it’s not.
you’re a pretty interesting guy, though. can’t let interesting guys burn, i’d be pretty bored.
come on. heaven awaits.

i had no idea if this was a reference to a video game or a series or something omg so i just au'd everything. EVERYTHING. ;;
