Zastie:
Also, kind of side-note.

@People saying Brun&Hannelore would make great roommates: I think as a story that might not be the best avenue for character development. In a story that's basically whole focus is the maturing of various characters and their relational situations, having Brun room with someone who isn't like her very much would offer more situations for change. Be it for Brun or whoever she bunks with. Sticking two similar characters together won't bring about a whole lot of change as they'll just perpetuate their own characteristics. This is, of course, viewing it from a character-building and story-writing perspective, not exactly who would actually be safer for Brun to stay with.

Kugai:
I wonder if she lost a couple of Grandfather style clocks in the fire

And Brun definitely doesn't hold back does she.

improvnerd:
Apparently, some autistic people really like clocks.

Smallest:
But then we find out that in Clinton's mom's attic, there is his grandfather's neat clocks and metronomes collection, which has been taking up space, but they didn't want to just send to a thrift store, not knowing if the cherished clocks would get the care grandpa wanted.

Or more likely, Clint finds out later and gives her a clock, maybe from a thrift or antique store, probably like a year in real life time from now. It's nothing super special, but she doesn't have any clocks that fill that niche yet, and it's not quite so mediocre as Renee's alarm at least.
 
edit- this (above) was a direct reply to today's page, not this thread.

that said, I think Brun and Hannelore could be interesting as roommates (in the unlikely scenario where they meet and quickly become well enough acquainted to do it). At the very least there's the split of 'most minimal furniture possible' and 'so many clocks,' although I don't think it ends there. I think they could be good 'similar but actually really, really different'-style foils.

BenRG:
We've learned two things about Brun today:

* She collects mechanical time pieces;
* She has the skill of making you feel bad about things that you didn't even know you could feel bad about!Meanwhile, I'm wondering if Renee is going to find that small doses of Brun are easier to take than continual exposure!

--- End quote ---

No, she's alternate Faye - gets a new roommate as a result of a fire. If this becomes permanent, then the comparison will be set in stone.

FWIW, a few WCDTs ago, I posted a proposal for how Jeph could write Brun and Clinton as a distorted mirror of Marten and Claire.
