DF Reference Collection / Re: Cold Days Predict-a-thon. [All the latest Spoilers permitted]
« on: September 14, 2012, 06:21:04 PM »
The Questions:
1 ) Harry usually has a few supporting characters in each book. Who do you think will be the main sidekick in Cold Days and in what way will they help? Who else will have a significant contribution to the plot?
I think his side kick will be Gaard, after Harry goes back to Odin for help on how to kill an immortal. Molly and Thomas will also play significantly into the plot, as they track down Harry together after hearing he’s alive from Fix, and then proceed to kick his a**.
2 ) At the end of Ghost Story, Harry has said goodbye to all his friends in Chicago.
a. Who will be the first friend to find out Harry isn't dead?
I think Marcone finds out first, but who knows if he’ll share it with everyone else. I say he qualifies as a friend since he has a working relationship with Harry.
b. What shenanigans/snark will Harry use when he "re-appears"?
I think the reunion will be spoiled initially by Harry running for his life from something, running into a comrade, and then dragging them into his mess and a dangerous situation.
c. Who will have the coolest reaction?
Mister of course. He’s too cool to care. He’ll acknowledge he’s back, and go back to whatever it is cats do.
d. Who will have the most touching reaction?
Mouse. Never interfere between a man and his dog! He’ll get tackled to the floor probably, just because its another opportunity for Harry to get knocked around
- In each case, remember to specify for extra credit.
3 ) In nearly every book, Harry usually comes up with a new powerup/tool/way of making things go boom. Given that he just became the new WK, what new abilities will he rely on and which new ability will be the most useful to him during the story (and how)?
Seeing how he used that AK-47 in self defense, I say he starts slinging Hail or icicles at bullet speed.
4 ) Harry generally has a "Big Bad" to worry about. In fact, according to the blurb, Harry is going after someone very specific. Who will that enemy be, and how will Harry take him/her/it down?
The “immortal” he’s set to kill will be none other than Mab’s hubby, St. Nick. He enabled the attack on Arctis Tor after squabbling with his wife about dinner always being served cold!
5 ) Harry usually faces some sort of "Choice" in every book. A point where the easy way out will cost his soul/humanity in some way. According to the blurb, this book will be no different. What will be the most crucial "choice" Harry makes?
Whopper or Double Whopper
6 ) As the new Winter Knight, Harry is pretty much garunteed to encounter his Summer counterpart -- Fix. What will their interactions be? Will Fix survive?
Fix learned from his last attempt to intimidate Harry. He’ll be all smiles and cooperate with him, but feed him false information that sends Harry into a trap. Harry will end up forgiving Fix after he realized Puts him in his place and takes the long-term perspective.
7 ) Jim has mentioned that it's about time now to start revealing some of the motivations/dealings of the shadowy figures working behind the scenes (i.e. what Harry calls the "Black Council"). What Black Council secrets/actions will be revealed in this book?
We’ll learn why Arctis Tor was attacked and why Mab permitted it and captured Molly.
8 ) There are many WAG theories on the boards. Write up to three WAG theories you believe are correct that will be confirmed (or at least have evidence in favor of) in Cold Days.
No clue
9 ) Extra credit: Write down any prediction about that you think might improve your final score. Only issues aluded to within Cold Days will be counted.
I think Bob will be at the birthday celebration as Mab’s prisoner. We last left him in the NN, and we all know she’s the reason he keeps to his skull… Now we finally will know why!
