In this scene, Wong would be off the bus looking intently at Obsidian and the bus driver as driver speaks angrily as Obsidian who just stands there with his weapon out in the open. She would be trying to determine what is causing Obsidian's lack of reaction.]]> 2021-11-25 17:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jrodr1251/rglx1e3vott87oi1/wish/1913031277 jrodr1251 https://padlet.com/jrodr1251/rglx1e3vott87oi1/wish/1913036464 In this scene, Wong would be wondering why Obsidian can't understand her as she speaks. Obsidian would respond with hand signals, motioning to his mouth and forehead, and due to Wong's incredible observational skills, she would come to the conclusion that something must have happened to take away his ability to speak and understand spoken language.]]> 2021-11-25 17:43:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jrodr1251/rglx1e3vott87oi1/wish/1913036464 jrodr1251 https://padlet.com/jrodr1251/rglx1e3vott87oi1/wish/1913056592 If Valerie Rye were to appear in Delany's galaxy, she would be very confused with her surroundings and feel overwhelmed with everything going on around her considering that the port city where she appeared in has nothing to do with the California she was born in. In this scene, she is roaming around the city and comes across a bar where she bursts inside to get away from everything that is going on. In there, she notices General Forester who is looking around and, with hesitation, decides to approach him.]]> 2021-11-25 17:59:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jrodr1251/rglx1e3vott87oi1/wish/1913056592 jrodr1251 https://padlet.com/jrodr1251/rglx1e3vott87oi1/wish/1913060883 If Valerie Rye were to appear in Delany's galaxy, she would appear in the port city mentioned at the beginning of the novel and come across the bar where General Forester goes to look for Rydra Wong. In this scene, after going inside the bar, she notices General Forester who is looking around, and goes up to him to ask where she was. When he fails to understand her use of her hands and signals and speaks to her, she is shocked and decides to use her voice and hesitates due to not using her voice for so long, wondering why it seemed like the General was not impaired. ]]> 2021-11-25 18:03:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jrodr1251/rglx1e3vott87oi1/wish/1913060883 jrodr1251 https://padlet.com/jrodr1251/rglx1e3vott87oi1/wish/1913066386 In this scene, Rye notices the appearance of the bar and the signs and symbols that are completely different from the ones at her home. She also remembers the sky she roamed under and the oddness of the people of the city, especially the conditions of the buildings and area. She tries to communicate how she usually does and ends up using her voice instead when the General does not understand her. That is when she truly starts to wonder where could she be because the way they communicate in this world is completely different from the way they do so in her world.]]> 2021-11-25 18:08:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jrodr1251/rglx1e3vott87oi1/wish/1913066386
