Pat does seem considerably more chill than Adrian is/was. It's possible he wasn't surprised to have a female roommate, but then he heard her call out to him from the shower, so he had some warning. When we first saw Rain's place, I was more interested in the musical instruments lying around than all the medieval art on the walls. At the time, the prevailing theory was that she was the blond for whom Q-Box served his time, and we knew she had a frosty relationship with Jacqui. I thought she and Jacqui were roughly the same age, so I tried to figure out where she might plug into the college hierarchy and assuming her to be mid-thirties and a lover of music (as evidenced by the instruments strewn about her residence) I wondered if she was a Prof or assistant Prof of music. This was back when we thought she was a normal human. Now, we think she might have been Wilmot's paramour or his direct heir which throws a lot of things into confusion. Polly indicates that she has Greek heritage, might she be joking about being a muse, and she's waited quietly all this time for her paramour's reemergence and now...voila?
We know the machinery is switched on, but it's unclear if the belltower is actively broadcasting, or if it only has the "mating experiment" music setting. Its effects might be gradually being felt around campus and town, but everything we've seen so far can be attributed to other causes.
Harem Night had Dani Erin, Mallory, and Caitlyn. The day after Harem Night, Adrian has coupled with Jacqui, Dani again, and Amy. So that's five and Cait is the only undergrad (so far). Maybe the only phenomenon we might attribute to the belltower is Adrian's stamina, but I got the sense that that was already ingrained.
EDIT--Because I belatedly realized I messed up the Honeywell twins names in this post earlier, I went back to GodWilling's info master on the first page of this thread and I tripped over something.
Erin is supposedly
5'3" Huh?
I went back to the early part of The Night of the Watch and saw that she's wearing heels most of the time, but they don't look lik eight/nine inch stillettos (which wouldn't they have to be for her to be only a couple inches shorter than Dani (5'10") in her maid's outfit? Also, Adrian is what 6'1" she doesn't look tiny when the heels come off. Ah, whatever. My personal blunder/unawareness.
And Marliese is 5'6" but she looks almost the same height nude as 5'10" in her maid's uniform and 2" open-toed shoes. What?
All of this is made even more confusing by the covers. In themost recent one with Mallory, Dani and Erin grouped together, they aren't wearing clothing and appear to be standing on a level. Mallory looks the tallest, but that could be perspective or Dani could be slouching, I guess. However, no WAY does Erin look 7" shorter than Dani or Mallory. If Dani's 5'10," I'd guess 5'6" for Erin or 5'5" at the absolute outside.*shrug*
