Okay, so I'm shooting in the dark for a topic here. However, I think that Brun's eventual job is going to be a significant aspect of how she interacts with the rest of the cast.

My vote goes for 'Delivery-person' although various other options also appeal. I think that what is necessary is something that gives a realistic cause for her to interact with other members of the cast in a non-contrived way. Having something like Dale's old delivery job gives plenty of reason for her to turn up literally anywhere in the QC world and start interacting with the cast on both a business and personal level. I guess I also like the idea of Brun zipping around Northampton on a scooter. :wink:

How would you handle this development? Do you have a better idea of how to secure Brun's place in the core cast?

I don't really see a delivery job working for someone like Brun who lives by her set routines. Doing Pizza deliveries means navigating to endless new addresses, and constant interactions with new strangers in new environments. Brun was so thrown by her sudden new habitations that she forgot something simple like taking a shower. I think making deliveries would be hellish for her, never being able to inhabit her comfort zone.

Theoretically, Brun's job at the Whale will eventually open back up. Meantime, she'll want another situation involving set routines, I'm thinking. Not sure what it would be, though. Now, if she were to become a US Mail carrier (as opposed to delivering pizzas), there's lots of routine in that; always going back to the same addresses, and less need to deal with humans. But those kinds of jobs tend to be hard to get, I think.

WRT integrating Brun into the main cast, I think the path is fairly clear. She'll encounter Clinton again (maybe at COD), and there'll be a conflict between Renee and Clinton (probably played for laughs). Perhaps Brun will eventually became a COD regular.

Well, a bow is certainly a good start, as well as an under-the-table-paying job.

Then again, I could see Brun working at The Secret Bakery. While Jim has said that there needs to be passion in baking, there is also a high degree of precision needed with the ingredients, making sure all the bread and other baked goods are consistent. The set routine and the recipes would be perfect for Brun. Now, if she could handle the god-awful hours, that could be a good step for her. (I dated a baker for a couple of months, free bread and stuff, but she was up when I was getting ready to go to sleep).

Anyway, Brun and Clinton could probably meet as she delivers a batch of muffins or the like to Coffee of Doom. And then, hilarity ensues.

Spiritz:
I hope I'm not the only one who immediately thought of the "bow and arrow" variety of a bow at first.  Hell, it took me until the last panel to realize what she meant...
