Cold Days Predict-a-thon. [All the latest Spoilers permitted]
TheCuriousFan:
--- Quote ---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?
--- End quote ---
Sith, with significant contributions by Fix and Ebenezar.
2 ) At the end of Ghost Story, Harry has said goodbye to all his friends in Chicago.
--- Quote ---a. Who will be the first friend to find out Harry isn't dead?
--- End quote ---
Probably Molly, Butters or Ebenezar.
--- Quote ---b. What shenanigans/snark will Harry use when he "re-appears"?
--- End quote ---
The Princess Bride, Monty Python or Lord of the Rings references, depending on who he's talking to and whether he can get white clothing for the occasion.
--- Quote ---c. Who will have the coolest reaction?
--- End quote ---
The White Council.
--- Quote ---d. Who will have the most touching reaction?
--- End quote ---
Ebenezar, Thomas, Michael, Molly or Murphy. I'm leaning towards Ebenezar, he probably took Harry's death pretty damn hard.
--- Quote ---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)?
--- End quote ---
He'll probably get a lot of use out of sucking the heat out of an enemy and then using that heat to fuel a fire spell to take down another enemy.
--- Quote ---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?
--- End quote ---
Someone new, possibly related to the Fomor. Or Darkhallowed up Cowl.
--- Quote ---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?
--- End quote ---
To use the Demonreach leyline and assure victory or to struggle on without it.
--- Quote ---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?
--- End quote ---
They will be very awkward initially, but eventually reconcile (Fix may or may not be mortally wounded by this time). And if he comes after Harry, he will bring at least Tiny along.
--- Quote ---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?
--- End quote ---
They will be revealed as trying to bring back the Outsiders.
--- Quote ---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.
--- End quote ---
Harry will get a changeling kid.
Lash will start drastically speeding up the rate Harry learns magic.
--- Quote ---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.
--- End quote ---
Harry will have to take down Cowl after a successful Darkhallow.
Ziggelly:
--- Quote ---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?
--- End quote ---
I think the Sith dude is promising.
--- Quote ---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?
--- End quote ---
I'm placing my bets on the Carpenters. Either Molly or Michael.
--- Quote ---b. What shenanigans/snark will Harry use when he "re-appears"?
--- End quote ---
"The rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
"I come back to you now at the turn of the tide." (or something else that's Gandalf-ey)
--- Quote ---c. Who will have the coolest reaction?
--- End quote ---
Well, I'm pretty sure that Murphy/Thomas will kick his ass.
I'm sort of curious about Mort's reaction ("he... he was dead, I swear!"). And Kincaid's, which probably won't be in this book.
--- Quote ---d. Who will have the most touching reaction?
--- End quote ---
Mouse. ;D Or Murph.
--- Quote ---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)?
--- End quote ---
Well, he's definitely going to be improving his ice magic...
--- Quote ---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?
--- End quote ---
It'll be somebody new. He'll take them down like everyone else; sheer wit and determination, a ton of luck, and a little help from his friends.
--- Quote ---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?
--- End quote ---
Whether to let his daughter know about him or not? I honestly have no idea.
--- Quote ---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?
--- End quote ---
Fix'll survive. But their relationship will not be pleasant any longer. They'll probably fight at some point.
--- Quote ---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?
--- End quote ---
Ummm... what happened to all of the missing people from the paranet that were mentioned last book? Ugh, I honestly have no idea.
--- Quote ---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.
--- End quote ---
The Erlking gave out the belts.
Fitz is MacFinn and Tera's son.
The parasite was Lash.
Second Aristh:
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 Elaine is due back about now. If it isn't her, I predict Sith and Fix will be trading off in the role. (Sith will step into Mouse's old role in combat and will hate every moment of it)
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? Maybe Butters and Bob? Harry will get to have multiple reveal moments.
b. What shenanigans/snark will Harry use when he "re-appears"? Princess Bride/LoTR are both manditory, probably Star Wars too; maybe a Frosty the Snowman "Happy Birthday"
c. Who will have the coolest reaction? Ebenezar (possibly not in CD); he will have found out some other way that Harry is back before Harry can surprise him. "Aye, Hoss. I didn't figure you'd stay out of the picture for long. Ain't like you to leave before a job is finished."
d. Who will have the most touching reaction? Murphy; I think she will cry a little bit and then physically assault Harry, winter knight or not (you didn't say what kind of touching ;D )
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)? Harry will learn what is on the NN side of Demonreach (whether to take advantage of its power or not is probably one of the Choices that Harry will have to make); otherwise, Harry will beef up on his Winter Knight abilities for new combat maneuvers.
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? I predict CD to be a big chase book where Harry has to track down a Fomor with high enough rank and power to pose a threat to Demonreach under the right circumstances; whoever the big bad is, he will drop a few big hints about the actions and/or motivations of the Circle/Black Council.
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? Harry will have to decide whether or not the power behind Demonreach should be saved or not and if he can get around Mab's orders.
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? Prediction 1: Fix will be at Mab's party along with a Gruff or two. Their relationship will be tense at first then get closer to what it was before. Prediction 2: If Fix survives CD, he will remain Summer Knight until at least the BAT. Otherwise, Elaine will be promoted to the position because of a background deal between two of the faerie queens.
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? The Fomor are knowing members of the BC while the Red Court was used by the BC just as much as the White Council. We will get a clear idea about what happened and perhaps why in the assault on Arctis Tor in PG.
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.
Erlking gave the BC the wolf belts to give to the FBI agents in Fool Moon.
Murphy's faith will start to be restored in CD to where she's ready to take up Fidelacchius in Book 15.
Lash will be the parasite from GS and will be severely limited in what she can do, at least for now.
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.
Harry will want to visit Bob for a sounding board on what to do about the threat to Demonreach, and Sith will tell Harry the story about why Bob gets nervous around Winter.
All_Hail_the_Pizza_Lord!:
1. I think that Toot Toot will be Harry's main sidekick, partly due to his recent elevation to full General, partly due to Harry's trust in him. Especially since Harry has now taken full responsibility as Winter Knight. I think Toot Toot will have grown even further, possibly enough to fight at Harry's side as a true companion.
2a. Molly as Lea will probably either give it away as not being needed to teach Molly anymore, or by dealing with him extensively in Winter.
2b. Definitely Gandalf. something along the lines of "I come back to you now at the turn of the tide"
2c. Kincaid, possibly not in CD. He'll be impressed at Harry's resilience,and perhaps affronted that he (Kincaid) wasn't thorough enough.
2d.Molly. when she sees him for the first time, She'll freeze for a couple of seconds, then tackle him with a hug, silent tears falling.
3. Lash will be back, and fully backing Harry. Imagine the Winter knight with Soulfire, and an expert advisor living in his head. We may even see a bit of jealousy for Harry's attentions, as before the psychic bullet Lash seemed to show a great deal of affection for Harry.
4.I think there has been a coup of some kind in Winter, with Mortal forces at the heart of it, brought in by the BC. Mab will need to have her Knight to be able to deal with it. We may even see Harry and Mab fighting shoulder to shoulder.
5.Harry will be forced to choose between being callous and ruthless, and doing the right thing almost constantly. He is Winter now, and they're all about cold and calculating.
6.Fix will be nervous, pretty much crap his pants in the first minute of running into Harry again. but then he'll collect himself and stand firm. I don't think there will be an outright confrontation, just an understanding between them, reached after a tense reunion where both have fingers on the trigger.
7.The BC is behind the Winter coup, and will be revealed as the forerunners for the return of the Outsiders. Destroying all meaningful resistance as a prelude to the Gates being forced open.
8.Don't know too many of the WAGs, mostly my own.
9.Lash, Molly and Murph will all be competing for Harry. Drama ensues, and Harry defuses the tension in true Dresden fashion. Humor and geeky quotes.

sorry about the spelling, on xbox, will fix later
