Don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Dry, aged cowpats are good in a campfire, and I have heard of the Plains Indians using buffalo droppings so.

To my knowledge camel is the best because it's pre-dried.

I think rabbit would be easy to dry out since they're such small pellets.

He's used to it even in Adventure One. Doesn't mean he likes it.
But, in this case, he might think it was worth it.

Maybe he wants to share with Lalli and he is being stealthy about it  ;)

I think this duodrabble works for Surprise too. Surprised the heck out of Sigrun!
(Being Sigrun, she got over it quickly - of course....)

I think she was surprised for about one second, when she saw the fire. Then she looked around for Emil, and realized the situation was actually rather mundane.
(I only hope Lalli wasn't inside that tent, sleeping off a scouting run...)

Anyway, hey, I did write something for Surprise! It's almost the start of a political/action thriller, starring Reynir--but don't worry it's shortish at 666 words. (That said, I am almost tempted to continue it, but not sure I can find the time. So I am dumping it in my new ficlet collection.)

Not that I am going to write anything, since I am clearly completely lacking in inspiration*, but is there a new prompt?

I would suggest 'job interview', for personal reasons. (Well, among other things, I think it has a lot of comedy potential. Although maybe someone will be able to turn it dark?)

* Whenever I say that I end up writing a thing.

I think that given what we know about how bad troll hunts and outbreaks can be, a job interview that delves into Sigrun's experience could potentially get pretty dark.  Sigrun super casual about it, of course.

Dmeck, nice! A surprise that will lead to many future surprises for the couple, I am sure.

Jitter, argh. To be honest I don't think I would be surprised by most of these. Common insomnia fodder, for me...

Note the dates. This person may be surprised after all, about what is plausible and what isn’t.

I was reading about a prepper and how they have a joke abound the zombie apocalypse and how no one believes it’s a possibility, but it’s good to prepare for because if you are prepared survive that you are prepared for anything.
