So Neal, not knowing if this will get any further attention in the story, I find it interesting that this page implies that nudity is as acceptable among children of this world as the adults. Up to this point, it seemed that going naked was basically an advertisement of willingness to participate in the more free code of sexuality in this world. Since it seems like due to their value, minors are protected from all kinds of badness here, is the idea that since nudity among adults is seen as less of a taboo, nobody minds of the kids are dressed or not either? As I mentioned before, very interested by the ideas about nonsexual social nudity in this world existing alongside the sexy bits.
It also is starting to remind of some parts of Stranger in a Strange Land, which is a good thing.
Or they’re pretty much alone in a secure room, so this may be completely off the mark.
As I see it, kids are usually nude too. For obvious reasons (HELLO FBI!) (Also good taste) I can’t show kids with wangs a-langin’, nor would I if it was socially acceptable. But Squirt is, by all of this world’s codes and standards, being a bratty kid.
Being naked in this world is not an invitation to have sex (though one can have sex in public, such is the desperation), being in Central Park specifically, however, implies consent in this world, not bare bodies.
Tonight there’s gonna be a JAILBREAK! Brilliant.
I was hoping someone would make a Thin Lizzy reference…
The expression on Squirt’s face is priceless.
I agree, but for some reason I find his teeth distracting.
And I find his nose distracting.
Anyone else reminded of Narnia with the whole ‘hidden portal in the closet’ bit?
