Tropicalia/Raftland/Captain/What is Tropicalia?
"Tropicalia? It's home," says the Captain.
"Whose home?" you ask.
The captain gestures around at all the rafts, sweeping in the water, and the log that you're holding onto. "Ours. Yours. Everybody's." A wave leaps out of the water and waves at you.
"Well I hardly know the place," you reply. "And I don't feel at home here."
"Not yet, anyway," says the Captain.
"So what happens here?" you ask.
"Anything. Everything. What do you want to happen?"
"Look, do you ever just give a straight answer?" You ask the Captain, surprisingly sharply.
The cool water bristles. A chill runs through the people.
"OK, OK," you say, backing off your tone slightly. "I just want to understand the nature of the place."
"Well," says the Captain, now more thoughtfully. "You'll have to find out for yourself. However, if it helps, I highly recommend that you get off that log and onto someplace more solid.
Tropicalia is a magical land of mystery, craft, romance, and more...
