Penquin47:
Wait a minute.  Brun's place burned down, and now she's sleeping on Renee's couch?  Are we sure Renee isn't Alt-Verse Marten?

Zastie:
In light to it now being multiple clocks, and this is a huge assumption leap, but I wonder if they were gifts - and that's why Brun views them as important. For someone like her, someone pretty hard to read w/o getting to know really well, it becomes hard to gift-give. I've seen time and time again (possible clock pun?) someone get a gift of one kind, and then everyone who knows this person gives gifts along this same theme because it went well one time. For instance, my eldest brother keeps getting my mum owl-related items for things like B-day and Mother's day kind of just based on one time.. and she's actually not super into owls (actually kinda dislikes them TBH). This was also caused by being kinda hard to read in terms of likes/dislikes. Brun doesn't strike me as a heavily materialistic individual, so maybe the reason why she prizes these clocks is because they were gifts from friends and she holds onto them because they mean friendship to her. Or, leaping even further, lost (not nessicarily dead, perhaps moved away) loved ones.

Huge assumption jump aside.. Brun in the final panel looks like Rin's sprite from Katawa Shoujo.. which is kinda funny given some personality similarities.

Mad Cat:
Since Brün's a clock aficionado, does that mean that no matter what favour you ask of her, she'll always have… the time?  :claireface:

With that assumption in mind, where could the story be going? Perhaps once she gets a load of the 4am schedule and insistence on vetting all her social contacts, Brun may have a crisis and decide she can't take living with Renee anymore. So who else does she know and trust in town? Begins with "C" and ends with "ton?" Brunton shippers may be appeased yet. This will lead to hilarious hijinks as Renee loudly confronts Clinton, and Clinton has to plead with ClaireMom to keep the noise down with Chad while Brun stays in the guestroom.

<further snippage>

• Brun didn't just latch on to the clock from the bar; she's a clock collector. Many of her clocks seem to be the wind-up variety, meaning she likes to interact with them rather than just looking at them.

• Brun's interest in clocks is not merely functional. She has a developed aesthetic concerning what makes a worthwhile alarm clock.

• She seems to have a fascination with the measured passage of time (she kept alerting Clinton to departing buses, albeit after the fact). Perhaps this love of counting could help her form a bond with Hanners, who likes drumming for the same reason.

• Being friends with Brun would require a thick skin, as she's quite brutal with the honesty. The good news is she takes criticism in the same spirit as she does doling it out. When Clinton pointed out that she'd been failing in her basic duty to make him feel welcome, she simply agreed without becoming offended.

• Insisting on taking the couch rather than the bed suggests Brun understands the pitfall of becoming too indebted to Renee. I think she's quite determined that her stay at Renee's will be as short as possible.

--- End quote ---

I could see her as a roommate to Hanners before I could see her rooming/shacking up with Clinton. Brun's clocks would seem to speak to a need for regularity and patterns. Might that make her a potential roommate to someone whose life also revolves around routine and order? In some ways, they seem as though they might complement each other well.

Carl-E:
The one in the middle looks more like a metronome case; albeit a windup, clockwork type metronome. 


I have four wind-up antique mantle clocks. 


I only have one mantle. 




Make of that what you will...
