New Tapirapé Village

Finally the new village have been completed. It was celebrated by a big party with a speech from Elder Bubba and a blessing from Whisper and Summer.

Bubba's Speech:
Bubba: Flops his papers and looks around
Bubba: "When ever the Tapirapé tribe has a grand event - it is the custom that the eldest elder speak…."
Bubba: "So you are forced to listen to me - eventhough I am young at heart!"
Bubba: "A fortnight ago a great catastrophe befell our village!"
Bubba: "A storm raged - undoubtedly sent by the jealous Wind God, that razed our little village!"
Bubba: "Supay sent death to our fields and the Wind God ravaged our huts…."
Bubba: "But the Tapirapé have always been pious people - we have always honored the Gods with body and soul!"
Bubba: "So we prayed to to Viracocha the great male god, to Cocha Mama the greath jungle mother - and Viracoca rewarded us with greath strenght and erection!"
Bubba: "Of new huts!"
Bubba: "New huts were erected to honor the Gods and the ancestors - even our most female elders erected huts!"
Bubba: "And so we stand here today - not in a village - but in a METROPOLIS - to rival Libertad itself!"
Bubba: "A new shining capital for the Tapirapé tribe!"
Bubba: "A shining city! A jewel of the North!"
Bubba: "It is my greath pleasure to welcome you all on behalf of the Elders and People of the Tapirapé!"
Bubba: shouts: "Welcome!"
Bubba: Takes off his glasses and folds the papers back
Then after Bubba's speech followed a Blessing of the camp by Whisper and Summer
