As far as nudity taboos go…it seems to run something like, “If you can, wear something, but if you absolutely can’t, don’t worry too much.” We have yet to see anyone intentionally not wear clothing, which implies a bias against casual nudity, either in general, or in mixed gender/species areas (no clarity on which it is is possible given the available samples). However, when dealing with a naked White Noise, no one actually objected or flinched away from his nudity, but were indifferent or merely surprised (or awestruck). This implies that whatever social morays are involved, they are more guidelines then rules, or make exceptions based on situation or necessity (so, get business done, then worry about physical modesty).

Something about them having televised bloodsport makes me think the taboo on nudity might be minor, though. :P

@The_Rippy_One: XD Indeed! And MUCH more so if they’ve been your Messiah since they were born. …I think…? Hrmmmm. :?

“My blood runs cold!
My memories have just been sold!”

“My Messiah is a centerfold!
(Messiah is a centerfold)”

Not really sure how much of a nudity taboo they have in this time period, as opposed to ‘clothes as utility, not necessity’ given all the fur and scale-covered types.

What sort of promotional material are you thinking? XD

Though it does make me wonder if the Scouts in general go for the ‘Idol Singer Purity’ thing in their public images, or is there a chance that there is, *ahem* ‘promotional material’ involving them that could cause some cute discovery gags in the future?

Sorry if I offended you.

Daisy and Veled could certainly have an alliance, but I can’t help but wonder if it’d still be colored by whatever it was that happened with Scout Fenirel way back when.

Speaking of ancient history, did we ever learn what prompted Daisy’s capture? Was it that alleged Soul Code business?

And there’s no real way of knowing yet, but do y’all think Veled’s comment about brainwashing is referring to Gabriel’s practices in general, or a specific incident in Daisy’s past?
