While many of us probably anticipated the Chapter Break approaching, it did take us by surprise and we have nothing planned for the break! Luckily Minna says it will be a short one.
Nevertheless, I take liberty to issue a challenge! (Sorry, no discussion with y’all). Participate, if you want!
So the challenge: during the break (about a week long only), create a work about something that is either totally expected or completely unexpected. Or both. Such as Reynir being made to be a troll bait. Or something completely different! Up to you, if you decide to join!
As per usual, anyone is free, no, extremely welcome to participate. The work can be anything that can be relayed via Forum. We have had visual art, stories, photographs, photos of craft projects, music, poetry, recipes, cosplay, multimedia, botany lessons... But you can make something - you guessed it - unexpected! Or stick to your most comfortable form and style.
Just post your work here when it’s done. Let’s hope we get an unexpected number of works, despite the lack of warning.

Taking Haiku 101.
Here at Haiku U.
Post by: Jitter on June 08, 2021, 10:27:34 AM
The Hotakainens were in the sauna. Emil was visibly excited about something. “C’mon Lalli, we can tell him! He’s practically part of our family too!” Lalli remained silent, looking parts quietly pleased and smug.
“Tell me what?!” Onni demanded. He didn’t mean to! But somehow everything came out tersely, especially when talking to Emil. Lalli merely shrugged at the other two men looking at him expectantly. With no answer forthcoming from his cousin, Onni turned to the Swede. “What is it?” a little less commanding now, good.
Emil glanced at Lalli, who shrugged again, “Suit yourself”.
“Ok, yeah” Emil gushed, “guess what, Onni! We are expecting!”
Onni was confused. Emil was clearly expecting a reaction, probably a happy one, but he hadn’t given any information yet! Surely his Finnish was better than this already? When no further hints besides excited hovering materialized, Onni had to ask. “Expecting for what?”
“Expecting! You know!” Emil was waving his hands now. “Baby! We are having a baby!”
Onni spluttered. “A... baby? You?” Emil looked besides himself with joy, and Lalli retained his pleased expression, blended with unmistakable fondness when he was waiting for his husband to carry on with the conversation he’d started. Emil really does him good, Onni thought fleetingly, before returning to the problem at hand. “Emil, in Finnish “expecting a baby” is used when someone is pregnant and will give birth, not when you are waiting to adopt...”
“I know! We are having a baby!” Emil was starting to get confused now.
“But, Emil, you...”, Onni was indicating towards both boys, “you can’t”.
Emil’s face fell. “Why not? Is there a problem? A custom I don’t know about?” Emil turned to Lalli now. “Help me out!”
Lalli, clearly amused now, just responded “You wanted to talk, you talk” and wrapped his arms around his knees, apparently concentrating in the löyly.
So, Emil had no other recourse and turned back to Onni.
“Onni, please, explain to me what is the problem? What do we need to do? I will... we will do whatever is necessary for the baby”
Onni knew Emil’s schooling hadn’t been very long or successful, but certainly he knew? He had to know about babies. Right? Seething at both boys for putting him into this situation, he started awkwardly. “See, Emil, you are boys...two men cannot...”
Suddenly the penny dropped for Emil. “Oh! No, it’s Inka who’s pregnant! And Rakel will of course be a mum too! We are the dads! We...”
Onni hurried to cut this vein of the conversation short. “Please Emil, no details!” Really, didn’t the Swedes have any notion about privacy? Onni had noticed that the two couples sharing the larger Hotakainen house were close, but he certainly hadn’t seen this coming. “So... I... I have always thought you... and the girls... and... ” He gave up. It was what it was, and they all seemed happy. ”So, anyways, congratulations. I guess.”
“Isn’t it wonderful news?” Emil was bubbling again. “We would like to tell everyone!” Upon a sharp nudge from Lalli, he corrected himself, ”I would like to tell everyone! But the girls asked me not to, not yet. Inka and Lalli can tell the baby is ok now, but you know how it is...” Even villages with noitas lost many babies, and occasionally mothers too. “And just think! You will be its uncle! Uncle Onni!”
Onni grunted and wrapped his arms around his knees just like his cousin. “I guess I can do that. Let’s bathe now.” He threw a large spoonful of water on the kiuas, resulting in all of the men grouching down to enjoy the hot löyly. That way the silly Swede didn’t see the wide smile on the face of Uncle Onni.

Nice haiku, midwestmutt. I've never thought before on using numbers!
You know, Jitter, I didn't recall the warning sign, or the one about the explosives, until you mentioned it! ;D Yes, the beast looks a lot like that, but since this is Sigrun's drawing we can assume that she just remembered it from the Lehto, or it's just a coincidence. I suppose they aren't anywhere near the Lehto, because there were no fishing villages, or high cliffs, near that area. So they wouldn't have problems with Mieliki, which is good since they seem to have already a good amout of trouble waiting for them. ;D (seriously, what could go wrong?)
BTW that's my first try with the SSSS font! It looks really good. Will be great for edits! Also I loved to draw the team XKCD style!

Taking Haiku 101.

JoB, your story is excellent. Poor Anderl has no clue that it's summer, which I guess is good news for our crew.
grey, a 'most best' plan indeed, at least from Sigrun's & Emil's POV. (I could quibble with the spelling of 'Pipsqueak'? Nah, funnier this way)
And Jitter, that actually happened to me! A coworker once screwed up his courage to tell me that he was going to ...a Pride Parade. I responded with something like, 'oh, cool, that'll be fun' but he was so clearly relieved that his face broke into a wide grin and he blurted out, "I'm going to be a dad!"
Cue a very puzzled ww sputtering & doing mental gymnastics to figure out how those two sentences fit together.
In my defense, it was the 80s and adoptions by gay couples were a very new concept, even in California.
Post by: catbirds on June 09, 2021, 01:29:36 AM
I've never seen a haiku chain before :) It's fun to imagine what you're all describing!
Grey, I love your use of the font! Amazing how much it contributes to the feeling of this being a conversation they would actually have. And with a plan and diagram Sigrun would create!
Jitter, this story is so cute... yay, I hope Emil and Lalli figure out parenting soon! I love the mental image of a sauna being the location for such important conversations like this.
JoB, interesting take on the idea of a vacation up north. I'm sure Sigrun, Emil, and Mikkel are enjoying their stay in the hotel room with the extra guest. Can't help but feel bad for Anderl, though! He's all confused :(

There is a snippet of the baby being born already, but nothing on their family life since. And she’s mentioned in a snip decades later. What lies in between hasn’t come ro me yet. I’m sure there is something unexpected along the ride!
Post by: thegreyarea on June 09, 2021, 05:30:11 AM
catbirds, yes, the font looks really fine. Almost as if it was part of the story. Almost because I'm not even close to Minna's talent... but we do what we can. :)
JoB, another fine story! I hope it becomes a habit! :) Now I would love to know what happens next!
(BTW couldn't Emil just throw one of his charges through the very large window Surma broke to enter? It wouldn't make much noise as it flew across the room.)
Jitter, I think I already said that: You will end having a full story of Emil and Lalli's family. :) At some point it will be a matter of putting all parts together.
Post by: Jitter on June 09, 2021, 06:36:13 AM
The story I started to write when All This happened, and part of which became the Woodland Sounds bit for the break before this one, seems to be related to both timelines. Hopefully I manage to get back to it at some point.

Now I would love to know what happens next!Well, Anderl (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderl)s job is to set off explosive charges to trigger avalanches, so ...
(BTW couldn't Emil just throw one of his charges through the very large window Surma broke to enter? It wouldn't make much noise as it flew across the room.)Certainly, but it would be very much visible to Surma and the songbirds have not yet graciously provided a mating dance on the windowsill to demonstrate that that's a safe thing to do, too. (Also, I guess it wouldn't lure Surma far enough away from Sigruns group to be completely out of sight, even if Surma does not return to the same corner to get out of the sunlight.)

12.11.
The patients remain unconscious. The rash is spreading rapidly, now covering most of the upper torso as well as shoulders and face on all of the patients. No organ failure is discernible and brain activity appears normal, yet they all completely remain unresponsive.
Dr. Santos wanted to try music. Sometimes patients with degenerative conditions respond to music long after speech is gone. Varying degrees of change were visible in the brain waves, indicating the patients' hearing remains. Perhaps this is a step forward?
13.11.
The music appears to be useless. We still register them hearing, but no response. Patients D and H have stopped coughing and are breathing normally, with no fever. We hope they are improving.
14.11.
Patient D suffered massive multiple organ failure and perished at 04:53 this morning. None of the readings hints to any reason for this. Patients A and B appear to be improving. The cough and vomiting have stopped as well as the spread of the rash. We keep playing the music for them.
16.11.
The rash is still intensifying on patient G. It now covers all of her skin from the waist upwards, and is starting to spread onto the legs. It must be painful for her to breathe now. For the remaining patients, the spread is stopped. A, B and E appear to be on the mend, having been cough-free for a couple of days now. A seems to react specifically to certain songs! Hopefully we well soon see some functionality returning.
17.11.
A, B and K died of multiple organ failure. We still have no idea what this is. Patient G is clearly responding to the music.
19.11.
We have administered the anti-retroviral for a full week now. Patients E and F remain cough-free and appear to be improving. G has brain waves resembling a sleeping person, but we cannot wake her up.
20.11.
Patient H died. That makes seven. We still can't tell what causes the devastating multi-organ failure. Not knowing the cause means we cannot help.
21.11.
G is definitely mending. She is trying to open her mouth, although the rash makes it difficult. Her entire face is badly swollen. Dammit this coat is itchy today!
22.11.
Patient G is struggling in her bed and trying to open her mouth. I'm not sure anymore that she's improving. I wonder if they have changed the detergent to something I'm allergic to.
23.11.
Patient G is the only remaining patient. Her vitals are getting stronger and brainwaves more active. She is clearly trying to move her mouth. I intend to check her face to see if I could alleviate any discomfort. Although with that swelling I doubt it.
Nurse, please hold her forehead while I try to pry open OH MY GOD What is that! Arghrrlssssssslllssssssdsd

cover this cave of lost souls
Hear me, grandmother?
Hear your granddaughter
calls, in this cave of lost souls
Open your eyes for me!
Open your eyes, wake up,
for we came to brake your chains
Awake, fight, be free!
