Hello all
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.

Just like Wave, I pledge to present something! Maybe I'll draw  :reynir: tied at the end of a long fishline... but I guess that would be expectable  ^-^

Anyway thank you so much Jitter! An unexpected and great challenge  :) <3

Hey, remember when the crew got supplies dropped in, but along with the carrots and stuff they got an unexpected and generally unwelcome extra in the shipment?  Good times, good times...

Oh, that took me a minute! Thanks, wavewright!

(I kind of doubt that in this case we'll wind up deciding that the unexpected shipment actually was helpful, though -- )

Brilliant, Wave, just brilliant! I certainly did not expect that!

I did however expect that we will get great submissions even at such short notice, and I was not disappointed!

Ah, this is great! I expected no chapter break filler, so this is very unexpected. Great contributions right off the bat.

At first I wondered why you'd re-drawn the fracas with the crate, wave, then I thought to look a little closer...  :))

Alkia, that is hilarious, especially Emil's bugging eyes. Kitty looks so smug.

Must put on my lateral thinking hat, and see what unexpectedness I can come up with.

Maglor, if it’s anything like the first parts, it will certainly qualify to the prompt! Please remember the PG-13 rating, and put content warnings (violence and body horror, I expect) on top, and the work inside a spoiler, ok?

Alkia, that is great! Poor fool Emil! No one will ever believe him!

Something expected?
Death and taxes come to mind.
Beyond those? Surprise!
