Episode 208
If you are a new reader, you might want to subscribe to “Holiday Wars” as well as start reading it from the beginning. Once you’re caught up on the main storyline then checkout the side stories in “Tales of Holiday’s Past.”
Is Wallace dead? Will The Bunny destroy the World Tree? How will Tegan escape the frozen ice place? What is going to happen???
Quite the dramatic fall pose he has there. Perhaps Wallace should be an actor? 😛
I was thinking that he bidding the crowd adieu while he dies.
Actually in the first version he was falling backwards after being riddled with the bullets, but it was too movie-ish. That's why we switched it up and had him fall forward.
Tegan can call Rudolph again and get to Gaia in plenty of time, the Bunny made a mistake there. If she is so certain the Holiday Spirit is gone she's in for a rude surprise because I still believe Tegan IS the Holiday Spirit and if Wallace does die she will be seriously PO'd, enough to take out the Bunny.
Wallace is another matter. He's been cut in half and put himself back together but we have to remember a couple of things. He was surrounded by a forest then, in his natural place of power as Arbor Day, and is in an ice cave far away from any plants at all now. Also he's just been attacked by a far more powerful holiday, one of the Big Six in fact, and we've already established that he wasn't nearly powerful enough to destroy the Bunny even with the machine gun. That makes the opposite true though, the Bunny is powerful enough to destroy him. There's a chance Wallace's plant nature might make him immune to bullets but I wouldn't count on it. The Bunny's been to careful so far and planned for everything, she would have brought a weapon that would work against Tegan's known companions, which does include Wallace at this point. I hate it but I think Wallace is on his way out and Tegan is going to be riding a wave of pure hatred/fury when the Bunny sees her again.
This is the kind of post I love reading. It's not just that you are into the story and are giving your guess at what is happening… it's that you've paid attention and can back-up your theories.
Of course I can't hint at if you are right or wrong about any of your guesses but it makes me smile to see that your so into the story that you ended up taking the time to write such a thought provoking post. Thank you!
Tegan? What about Gaia? She mentioned before that the only reason she has to continue on is her son. Imagine the Roaring Rampage of Revenge that this will bring upon the Bunny once she finds out that he has killed her son, the only joy she has. She has constructed a Haven, that is just a sanctuary by another name. Now She may Raise an Army and truly oppose the bunny.
Why does his blood look like pus?
Or is it sap?
His blood has always been that color. We first saw it back when he had the fight with April Fools:

It's not meant to be sap. Think of it as a more like a mix between chlorophyll and blood.
Hmmmm……. chloroblood. That sounds catchy.
We're assuming that Wallace is going to die. We've also been led to believe that Gaia will be sufficiently weakened by President's Day (?) for the Bunny to be able to more or less walk in and destroy the World Tree. We're also assuming that the Holiday Spirit isn't destroyed and is, in fact, hidden within Tegan. But these are assumptions, nothing more than that because Scott doesn't answer questions that relate to the future story or give hints in his comments (not that there's anything wrong with that though it can be extremely frustrating).
I don't mind spoiling little things, but it's no fun if I spoil stuff that will be revealed in the story.
Though… next week is a good week but the week after will be even better. You don't want to miss it (specifically Episode 213 which will post on September 5th)!
