You lock your eyes on the fury-filled face of Jintsuu and wonder just how well she knows her sister ship Naka. If she suspects half of what that cruiser showed you forty minutes earlier...

“... the force composition wasn't ideal for engaging battleships,” you say softly. “Which we didn't have a clue were in the area. There's only so much you can do against abyssals. As for pairing Arizona with Kongou, well, all of Kongou's sister ships were engaged, and none of our fast battleships have seen fit to surface yet. So to speak.”

Jintsuu is having none of it. “You should've left her in port,” she snarls. “She's a boat anchor in a fast-”

“She spent eighty years in port,” you cut her off, your voice level and hard, “and yesterday she placed herself between the twelve-inch guns of those battlewagons and the people who put her in that harbor for eighty years *without* orders from me.”

Jintsuu opens her mouth and does a good fish impression as she struggles for words. You stare her down, unblinking and not in the mood for any more bullshit. “We're having this *conversation* in order to learn,” you say evenly. “To make sure no mistake is repeated twice.”

Jintsuu glowers at you, defeated, and storms out of the room. When she slams the door, she tears the doorknob completely out of it. A second later it re-enters the room though the center of the door and embeds itself in the far wall.

You watch this without flinching, and notice Tatsuta watching you from the corner of her eye, chin still perched atop her hands.

“Now,” you say evenly, drawing every face away from the savaged door and back to you. “Does anyone else have any input?”

Tenryuu gives you a funny look. “You got a death wish or somethin?”

Although there's still the larger issue that many IJN ships still see the American ships as their enemies, and not the Abyssals.

You shrug. “I've got one foot in that boat already, sister. Ask me if I give a shit.”

Tenryuu quirks an eyebrow. “What, you sick or somethin?”

“I'm getting there,” you return, letting a little roughness creep into your tone. “Lets get back to the damn debriefing.”

“Fufufufufufu~,” Tenryuu says, a predatory grin creeping into her smile. She leans over the back of her chair enough to make it start creaking. “Are you trying to change the subject, Admiral?”

“You're the one that changed it,” you reply sourly.

Tenryuu schooches her chair a little closer, her one eye boring into you intensely. Her head lowers a bit, like a dog preparing to lunge. “Maybe you're afraid of all of us. Maybe your command expects one of us to rip you apart any day now.” Her grin grows a bit wider. “Is that why they only sent a one-star? See how long you last?”

You sigh, turning your wrist over and tugging your sleeve down to check your watch. “You're in the same boat I am, so to speak. Is that all you've got to say about the engagement, or...?”

Tenryuu's mouth curls into a frown, and she stands up – only to be halted by a sharp look from Tatsuta. “Yeah, I guess,” she says, sitting in the chair properly (putting her back to you) and flinging her feet up on the table casually. “Least Goto wants to live.”

“For now,” Tatsuta says. “Someone's working on that.”

You notice Kongou's mouth twitch at the corner, ever so slightly, but she just brings her fist down on the table for attention. “Admiral Settle!” she exclaims. “Arizona-san was AMAZING! I've never seen armor like that before! And her gunnery was top-notch! She must have German optics!” She punches a fist through the air. “Even when her rangefinders were smashed, her turrets just ripped 'em up!” Then, eyes closed, she splays her fingers against her own ample chest. “Of course, during night fighting, she'd to well to follow the fire data of her onee-san and her superior wide-aperture night optics~”

“Mmm,” Tatsuta says. “Kongou's skill with big guns in night battle is unparalleled.”

“Day or night, I'm the Admiral's girl!” Kongou says, thumping her chest with her good hand. “Tatsuta's guns might not be much in day battle, but she's a magician with those big torpedoes at night!”

“.... noted,” you say with a nod. “So you thought Arizona worked well with you?”

“She's quite professional,” Tatsuta says. “I especially like the way she doesn't talk during operations. Very focused.”

“She doesn't talk at all!” Kongou points out.

“Lets hope it catches on,” Tatsuta adds evenly.

“... yeah, she's okay,” Tenryuu says. “She charged right at those abyssals like she didn't give a shit and slugged it out up close. She don't look like much, but she's a tough bitch. I'd screen her any day of the week.”

You nod. “Glad to hear it. Kongou, did I handle you well?”

She shrugs. “I would've done better if I was at full speed. Like I told Arizona-san, for me, speed is armor.” She gives you a bright smile. “But it's okay. The abyssals hid themselves really well, so we didn't have a chance to determine range anyways.”

“Yes, that,” Tatsuta says, leaning her hands and chin towards you a bit, almost speaking into your ear. “Kongou and her sisters do best when they're exploiting their speed and big guns, Admiral – if she's able to use her full speed, she can usually determine range and put those big guns to use without risking herself. She's a lot tougher than most battle-cruisers, so plunging fire isn't a big concern, but at close range almost anything can get past her belt – or below the waterline.”

“Understood,” you reply. “We'll do our best to pair her with heavy cruisers or fast battleships, in the future. Anything else?” Silence greets your query. “Good. Now, before we go...”

Ask how they cope with killing former comrades, since the Abyss are confirmed to being pissed off ships that sunk in the past. Might as well prepare for the chance someone like the USS Oklahoma shows up and Arizona finds herself unable to fire at her old friend in the heat of battle.

“... I...” you rub the back of your head and glance at the door to make sure it's... closed. Well, what's left of it certainly is. “This might sound strange but... do you all know anything about...” you hold up your thumb and forefinger. “... little people?”

Tenryuu, Tatsuta and Kongou all give you wide-eyed stares.

“... you know about those,” Tatsuta says quietly.

“Yeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I was really hoping you'd tell me I was hallucinating from stress and lack of sleep,” you admit. “But nope, you just up and, yeah. That's a thing.”

“We'd appreciate it if you kept it quiet,” Tatsuta says. Kongou is very studiously observing the table, and Tenryuu seems to have stopped breathing. “We're not blind. We know people are... uncomfortable around us.”

“Which people?”

Tatsuta grips your arm and leans in to whisper, her breath tickling your ear. “Pretty much everyone except Goto and one or two of the maintenance people. We... we don't really know what we are, ourselves. Or what – what *they* are. Just like you wouldn't know what your kidneys are if you didn't have a doctor to tell you. All we know is, they work – and we need them.”

You let out a pent up breath as she releases you. “That... makes sense. Thanks.” You clear your throat. “One more thing – how do you all resupply on extended operations?”

Kongou giggles. “You should ask Akagi-san about that.”

You shrug. “Sure, I'm sure I'll see her soon. Well, that's all for now – just submit your written after-action reports as usual, and I'll see you around the base.” You stand up straight and snap out a proper salute, which they all return in their fashion (Kongou giving it palm-outward, Royal-Navy style,) before they file out through the smashed-up door.

Your little procession barely makes it halfway down the hall before you bump into Kongou's back. All three of the shipgirls are standing stock still, staring at something in the hallway. You brush past them to find none other than Jintsuu embedded in a Jintsuu-sized hole in the drywall, staring down the barrel of an M-92F at the very, very bloodshot eyes of one Corporal Hate.

If the Corporal has noticed his new audience, he hasn't said anything.

“... remember that boat I was talking about, Tenryuu?”

Tenryuu tears her eyes away from the scene before you and slowly turns to regard you. You tilt your head at Hate. “It's a metaphor,” you say helpfully.

“One more time,” Hate growls at his captive. “What, exactly, are you going to do to the yankee pig if he doesn't get out of your way?”

“Aahaaowww!” Jintsuu moans around the barrel of the pistol.

“Y'see,” you say to Tenryuu as her one eye stares wide enough for two, “I've known Hate for a lot longer than I've known you, so...”

Hate cocks the Beretta as slowly as possible, letting Jintsuu hear every click-clack. The cruiser-girls eyes cross as they focus on the barrel, shimmering with tears. You sigh, half-impressed that Hate's been carrying around an empty gun just for such an occasion (the day Hate doesn't carry cocked, locked and ready to rock is the day the Army supports a carrier purchase) and half-horrified by the same. You clap your hands together gently. “Hate. Heel.”

“Again with the fucking dog jokes,” he mutters, not taking his eyes off Jintsuu's.

“I've got my silver cross on,” you warn him. “And a vial of holy water.”
>>
>>38864757
I like the aesthetic of the Taisho era a lot. There's a really nice mahou shoujo manga Otome Youkai Zakuro in the same era. I also really enjoyed Sakura Taisen too. I wish Japan would make more mangas based on that period of time.

There were also lots of mystery novels too. Locked room mysteries were huge as well as translations of Sherlock Holmes being extremely popular then too.
>>
>>38864830

“Oh, a *devil* dog joke,” he moans. “Noon already? I missed lunch.”

“Me too. Care to get some?”
“Sure.” He yanks the pistol out of Jintsuu's mouth, letting the girl slide down the wall to shiver uncontrollably.

“Shall we?” he says, offering you his arm.

“Lets,” you say, slipping your arm through his. He matches strides with you, and you sail around the corner as the wind whistles through the mouths of four shipgirls. He releases you as soon as they're out of sight and makes a show of wiping off his elbow.

“Why are you using that old piece of shit, anyways?” you enquirer.

“Because I don't care about cleaning it after I shove it into some bitch's mouth, you know,” he says casually, opening a cargo pocket on his fatigue pants – to reveal a pocket with the bottom cut out, allowing access to a thigh rig.

“Yeah, about that-”

She knows she can tank those 5" shells.

She also just had Cpl Hate kick her ass up through the wall.

>Astern of the Portland, the Helena was worked up to a servo-mechanical rage with her six-inch main battery, targeting a searchlight just forty-two hundred yards to her west. It must have belonged to the Hiei; it appeared too high and large to belong to a destroyer. The officer in a spotting station high overhead reported that the tracers were perfectly aimed in deflection and that “practically all of our shots appeared to hit.” One of her turret officers, Lieutenant Earl A . Luehman , observed, “The tracers from fifteen guns looked like a swarm of bees heading for a target you couldn’t see.” Cycling rapidly with the firing keys closed, the ship’s broadside was like a gigantic combustion engine with mistimed pistons. Nodding up and down, driven by their director-controlled motors, the guns laid a “rocking ladder ” of fire across a two-hundred -yard-long path centered on the range given by the radar. No ship , no matter how stout its armor, would want to be in the path of what she was sending out: more than two hundred 130- pound shells per minute, according to Bin Cochran . As the Helena reached the turning point for the left column turn, the light that her gunners were shooting at faded to black. The superstructure of the enemy ship was a “smoky orange bonfire,” Chick Morris recalled. “How high into the sky that tower of flame extended, no one can say, but the brightness of it was unbelievable.”

> AS THE HELENA PASSED the circling Portland and raced after the San Francisco, her main battery directors located a target to starboard, receding at about nine thousand yards. Less than half a minute later, the unidentified vessel opened fire on the San Francisco. It was a destroyer. Instantly, Hoover turned slightly to bring his five turrets to bear. The object of the light cruiser’s continuous-automatic fury was Captain Tameichi Hara’s Amatsukaze. Hara had committed a cardinal sin of naval tactics. “Shell drunk,” as he described himself, he neglected to order his searchlight off after taking the San Francisco under fire. Suddenly under a terrible barrage, Hara’s ship reeled. He ordered his gunners to check fire, his searchlight operator to douse the light, and his deckhands to lay a smoke screen. “I hunched my back and clung to the railing. The blast was so strong, it almost threw me off the bridge. The detonations were deafening . I got sluggishly to my feet, but my mind was a complete blank for several seconds. Next, I felt over my body, but found no wounds.” Hara was a lucky one. His ship took some three dozen hits from the Helena, almost all of them blasting holes a meter or more wide in his ship. The Amatsukaze’s hydraulics failed, freezing the gun mounts and the rudder. A warrant officer on the rangefinder had his skull split by a sliver of steel. That same hit tossed Hara’s gunnery officer over the side. In the radio room below him, everyone was dead. Gil Hoover’s gunners had about ninety seconds to batter the Amatsukaze—firing 125 six-inch rounds— before the San Francisco interfered with their line of sight and Hoover ceased fire. The only damage the Helena suffered in the exchange appeared to have been a five-inch hit on her high-mounted after turret, which blew away the leather bloomer from the center gun and gouged its bronze chase so that it could not recoil.

“-are you out of your fucking mind?” you ask him politely.

“Dude,” Hate says, slinging an arm around your shoulder and leaning on you heavily. “Bro. Guy. I joined the *Marines.* Out of HIGH school. I *believed the recruiter.*”

You give him a dim look.

“... okay, not that last one, but still.”

You brush him off. “I just watched that girl rip a doorknob out of a door, before throwing it clean through the damn thing. It's still embedded in the far wall of the conference room we were in.”

“What got her panties in a bunch, anyways?”

“Oh she was mad about you changing the fucking topic,” you insist, letting Hate steer you both towards the officer's mess. “What makes you think a fucking handgun will even work on them?”

“Yeah yeah, we don't know nuffin, blah blah,” Hate says, sounding bored. “Thing is, I don't think they do, either. “And from the way that one reacted, I don't think they're in a hurry to find out, either!”

“And if she'd bitten the damn thing off and spat it in your face?”

Hate shrugs. “I've got another one. And it's loaded, too.”

You clap a hand to your face and groan freely. “Hate, you really gotta not fucking do this kind of thing. It's gonna cause trouble.”

“That's not the tune you were singing back there,” he points out.

“Always follow through with an attack some other dumbass started for you,” you say. “Bock-el or whoever that kraut was... whatever, airdale shit. Dime, dozen, et cetera. I'm just saying, maybe, don't be carrying around an empty gun just for the express purpose of scaring the shit out of shipgirls, huh? And when you do it anyways, because you're fucking insane, do NOT wait around for a goddamn audience.”

Hate opens his mouth, as if to deny it – and then closes it, thinking. “... sooo, as long as nobody sees it-”

“No,” you growl as you gain the ramp to the officer's mess, smacking the end of your cane into the concrete to unleash your frustration. “No, no, no, I really do mean don't do this shit, but realistically, I'll take what I can get. Throw me a fucking bone here, Corporal.”

Hate heaves an exaggerated sigh. “Again. With the fucking dog jokes.”

“I'm the father you never had, Corporal.”

“My father's still alive, skipper, and he's not nearly that big an asshole.”

“Exactly,” you say with honest pride, shouldering your way into the mess. An MP standing by the door eyes the non-com chevrons on Hate's uniform and moves to intercept, but you just wave your hand at him. “THE POWER OF THE STAR COMPELS YOU.”

“This isn't the gyrene you're looking for,” Hate intones along with you.

He gives you both a lidded-eye look and a sidelong smirk before falling back against the wall and doing his best to fall asleep standing up. You and Hate head for the chow line and begin loading up – cornbread and beans for you, and a little bit of fucking everything for Hate.

6"/47s, and not quiiiite fully automatic.

The guns were fully director driven, so all the crews in the turrets had to do was load. All the training and firing occurred automatically as fast as the motors could drive the gun. The gun would fire, recoil, and lower to loading position. When the breech was locked again after loading, the gun would elevate to the appropriate angle and fire. Then the cycle repeats.

This was a fire control system that was common to many classes of USN ships, but what made the 6"/47 Mk 16 gun special was the use of semi-fixed powder charges in a brass case. This meant that the gun crew only had to load shell and powder case, so the gun could achieve a ROF of 8-10 RPM. Times fifteen guns.

This is really goddamn terrifying for 1940s tech. The Brooklyns were capable of shooting their main battery magazines dry in ~25 minutes of combat. The postwar Des Moines CAs actually had an autoloading system, and regularly achieved 12 RPM on their 9x8" guns.

Gun barrel lives were 750 to 1050 full charge rounds.

Considering each turret's projectile handling room only stores 300 rounds per gun, you're good for at least two battles... if your ship survives that long.

I read an interesting piece on English honor culture, but there are parallels to elsewhere. The short version is, it was all about showing you were willing to die rather than suffer an insult.

For example, say someone insulted you in some manner, and you challenged him to a duel. The purpose of the duel is not to kill your opponent, but to show that the insult was unwarranted by facing danger.

This is why duels in England changed to the pistol rather than swords: it leveled the playing field. If someone who is stronger, younger, and better trained faces challenges, they face much less danger than the opponent -- and that doesn't sound very honorable, does it? It also explains the uneasy relationship knights often had with tactics.

Now consider that the equivalent IJN 6.1" gun has a practical ROF of 5 RPM, lacks automatic laying and the FCS aiming it has no fire control radar.

Also while the USN Fire Control computer has one operator and most of its inputs are automatic, the IJN FCS computer has 9 operators and all of its inputs are manual.

There is a reason that the light ships of the IJN put all their faith in torpedoes.

Surprised as it seems he had a fondness of tits (considering his remark about why Willie D was a no go to him among others; "Doesn't have tits")

Trude is alright, though she doesn't have much really exceptional.

“So how'd things go with the paint?” you ask him as you carefully fill two glasses with milk in your free hand, lifting the milk-machine's heavy metal knob with your forearm.

“I asked Goto that myself,” he replies. “Fucker grinned like a gunny who heard someone say they're bored.”

“Damn.”

“He described their expressions as 'shattered',” Hate tells you. “And then he just strolled away in a haze of recollection.”
“Serves 'em right,” you mutter, setting your tray down at the chosen table. “Willie Dee knew what they were up to. I came across her crying her little heart out in the bushes.”

“Fuckers,” Hate replies. “She ain't bad.”

“Didn't you threaten to rip her arms off and stuff them in her ears?”

“Legs,” Hate replies. “LEGS. She muzzle-swept me.”

“Oh.”

“Five-inch gun. Nominally. She's lucky I didn't stuff her poop deck into her funnel or whatever-the-fuck.”

“Guess so,” you say around a mouthful of cornbread. “Sammy keeping herself entertained?”

“I introduced her to Xbox Live,” Hate replies.

“Why the fuck would you do that?”

“No, no, skipper, you don't understand,” he says, actually putting down his fork to gesture with both hands. “She's a fucking genius. Yesterday she tore into some fucking thirteen year old squeaker so hard he ran out of the room crying – and he didn't have earphones, so his mother hears, and SHE picks up the mic to sass back, and Sammy sent HER out of the room in tears.” Hate has the air of a teacher proud of his pupil.

You stare at Hate, a sense of distant surreality stealing over you as you try to decide whether to be impressed or horrified.

“... Halo?”

“What else?”

“What's her favorite weapon?”

“Plasma pistol and punch.” He illustrates. “She just goes running around screaming toooooOOOOOOOOOOOOORPEDO!” He punches his hand into his palm at the crescendo to illustrate. “They think she's hacking.”

You take a sip of milk to give yourself time to think. “So what's the scuttlebutt around base?”

“Well, everyone's talking about you pulling a shell out of Arizona with your bare hands.”

You choke on your next draft of milk, pounding your chest to clear it. “Wait, the fuck?”

“Just what I heard. What happened with that, anyway?”

You briefly contemplate trying to explain the faeries to Hate, and decide against it. “Uh. I just provided some muscle, there.”

“Muscle? With munitions?”

“Yeaaah,” you continue. “The... professionals... handled all the actual fiddly shit. You know how the Prince of Wales took a 15 incher from Bismark below the waterline, right?”

“Vaguely,” he says, shoveling a spoonfull of... everything into his mouth and nodding as he chews, signaling for you to continue.

“Same thing happened to Arizona. Most shells-” you spin your finger in air - “they flip when they hit water and stabilize base-first, unless they're designed for underwater penetration. The yawing motion at two thousand feet-per-second almost always fucks the fuze, though. And just like Wales, it feched up against a bulkhead?”

Hate swallows. “How'd they get that out?”

“Wales? They put her in drydock and actually cut holes in the decks below the shell so they could lower it straight out with a dock crane into a launch.” You shrug. “I was basically the dock crane. Heavy little fucker, though – lines cut me.” You wiggle your bandaged fingers to illustrate.

“Yeah,” Hate says. “Not so little anymore, or so I heard.”

“How DID you hear all this shit?” you say sourly. “There's supposed to be OPSEC in place concerning these girls.”

“I'm pretty sure it was the EOD team,” Hate says innocently. “They seem kind of pissed off about that 12 inch shell in the back of their truck. They've got no fucking idea how they're gonna get it back without jiggling that shell overmuch. Someone named Crab is fixing to eat your ass.”

You muse on that one. “Is he a two-star or higher?”

“Non-com, I guess.”

“Cool,” you reply. “Then he can go fuck himself.”

“Can I quote you on that?”

“Hold up,” you say, plucking a pen from your vest pocket. “Hand me that napkin-”

“Right, right, gotcha,” Hate says. “So, skipper, can I ask you something?”

“Mmmm,” you say with a shrug as you devour another square of cornbread.

Hate leans over the table and hisses at you: “Is there any possibility of me getting something to fucking DO around here?”

KTKM and Ooi, Part 3
---

We were staring out at the sea. Was it supposed to be home? Or just our battlefield? It was a pretty calm night, with Ooi leaning on my side. We were sitting on one of the smaller piers used mostly for small boats and such, a few street lamps providing some illumination. My mind wandered - I suppose the fleet sent out this morning would probably be returning soon.

As if she knew the topic on my mind, Ooi speaks up. “I tried to sneak a peak inside the command center, but they wouldn't let me in, even when I tried with my feminine charms.” I rolled my eyes at that. Ooichi was a pretty girl, but after the first rebuke she probably resorted to yelling. “I did catch a glimpse of the admiral though. He looked pretty stressed, but not entirely angry, so I think it's safe to say nobody was sunk.”

“Nobody important anyway, maybe a destroyer or two was lost.”

Ooi jerks a bit at my response, visibly upset.

“Would they care if we were sunk, Kitakami?”

“Of course! We're the most advanced torpedo cruisers in the fleet; nobody can match our capabilities!”

Heh. I had almost fooled myself. We were just cruisers. Replaceable. I doubt the brass would care unless they lost a carrier or battleship. Ugh... Bullshit.

Ooi gripped me tighter. I didn't even notice her looking right at me; my face must have been showing an awful grimace.

“You're not allowed to leave me here, alone.” Ooi whispers to me.

There weren't anymore words after that, just the sound of the sea and the local fauna.

“Hey.”

I jolted up at that. It wasn't a particularly threatening voice - actually pretty mellow sounding. Still quite unexpected.

As usual, Ooi is quick on the defense.

“Sneaking up on others is pretty rude, it's rather strange to make no noise walking around!”

Shiranui merely shrugs. “It was not my intention.”

I'm not in the mood to get into an argument, and I've never had a problem with Shiranui. She wasn't really like the other destroyers, pretty much kept to herself. She has a certain - air - of danger about her.

I open up my mouth before Ooi can try putting out fire with gasoline.

“I'm guessing you wanted something?”

“The admiral was looking for you two, he's in his office now.” Shiranui replies calmly.

She takes her leave wordlessly, her steps oddly muted as she walks off toward the dorms.

“What a creep.” Ooi remarks as her target strides out of earshot.

“Don't worry about her. I know you have enough frivolous things to worry about already, Ooichi.”

I stretch out my arms and stand up, helping Ooi onto her feet.

Let's go see what the Admiral wants this time.

The base is mostly quiet at this time of night. Or so I thought, as I noticed the outline of a figure skulking along the wall of a building, behind some bushes. As we get closer I can see her black outfit and miserable looking face.

“Hey Kitakami, is something wrong?” Ooi says as she notices me lagging behind.

“Oh... No. Just saw a dog wandering around.” I reply and quicken my pace to catch up to her.

As we enter the central command building we turn towards admiral Goto's office. Tone and Chikuma are milling about right outside the wooden door.

Tone is very outgoing, but not overbearing. Chikuma is more reserved, and does her best to support her older sister. “Kitakami-san and Ooi-san, Hail and well met!” Tone greets us, I find it hard to just brush her off.

“Yo~” I give them a little wave. Ooi greets them politely with a small bow.

“We were trying to get some information on the sortie today, but the admiral has been pretty tight lipped.” Chikuma explains their situation. “It is our duty as reconnaissance cruisers to post an update of the sortie at the barracks!”

“Oh, he didn't tell you already? I suppose I shouldn't be the one to spread that kind of information then.” The best kind of lie is one you never have to back up.

Tone doesn't miss a beat here, “Aha! I wasn't aware you had that kind of rapport with the admiral. I understand completely, we will wait for the official report!” She finishes this off with a salute, one I return with well with a smile on my face. I grab Ooi's hand and pull her into the office before she can open her mouth and say something unfortunate.

“Ladies. Glad to see you weren't delayed.” Admiral Goto is sitting behind his desk with his back to the door, grabbing something from a low shelf. “This is yours.” He sits a can [please, no] of paint [b u l l s h i t] on his desk.

Ooi seems pleased, completely oblivious that we are being made fools of. I walk up to his desk. It's the typical, teak looking fancy officer desk, with a paper calendar taking up most of the space along with a computer. I grab the can, give a salute and begin to turn away.

“Before you leave, you should take a look at it, make sure it's the right color.”

I turn back around biting my tongue, place the can back on his desk, and begun to open the [shitty old man I bet it's gelatin or something inside] lid.

Ooi makes a little squeal as she peers at the contents of the pail. Inside are what looks like red and black paint, arranged in a checkerboard pattern. I decide that this is not happening, and that I have fallen into a clever ruse.

“Isn't it marvelous Kitakami-san? I never knew they had stuff like this.” Ooi's eyes are lit up with excitement.

“This is just.... Ooichi, we are getting a joke played on us.” Right? Right? This isn't an actual thing. I am going to disbelieve what is in-front of me. I'm getting desperate and decide that it calls for drastic measures. With one hand I grab Ooi's arm and pull it upwards, and in a smooth motion I dip my other hand into the paint and then swipe it on Ooi's forearm.

“K-K-Kitakami! You should have asked before trying to paint me!” I'm almost afraid to look at the result. I peer upwards at [what the fuck happened to the light fixture] Ooi's arm and it appears to be just a black and red splotch, there's no perfect angles or separations between the colors.

“Oh, what a shame," Admiral Goto says as he stands up. "I guess this batch was defective, we'll just have to order another. Let me just grab the forms.” He pulls open one of his desk drawers.

“No. That's quite all right. I never bought into your garbage anyway.” Confidence restored, I try and go back on the offensive.

Ooichi looks distraught, maybe finally realizing what an absurd idea she had bought into.

“Well, that's fine too then, but you'll have to leave the paint here so it can be properly disposed of.”

“That's fine, I need some time to think of how to dispose of you, admiral.” I poke back at him.

Admiral Gato just snorts, clearly not buying it.

“I know where you sleep!” A desperate advance, brought on mostly by anger and frustration.

“Yes, yes I have your room number too” He's rolling his eyes now.

“He thinks we sleep!” I whisper this as loud to as Ooi as possible.

Ooi nods a bit before replying. “Well I'm certain Tatsuta doesn't sleep, there's always a lot of noise coming from her room at ni-”

“WOW, THAT'S JUST WONDERFUL.” Admiral Gato jumps out of his chair and claps his hands, ready to throw us out. “Now please leave and send in Tone and c-”

I cut him off - “I also know every meeting you have, on the 16th at 1400 you have a general meeting with all the junior officers, on the 17th you have a dental appointment at 0800!” I continue on listing off all his important appointments, the color draining from his face, while Ooi looks a little stunned.

>>38866563
I go in for the finisher, the last appointment, it was a little obscured by the desk clutter but.. “And on the 21st you're going to violate Admiral Sette in the showers!”

“W H A T?” Ooi shrieks out.

Oh. That can't be right.

The admiral looks equally appalled, “No, that... I didn't agree to that!” He pats down his pockets, looking for something, blindly pushing things off his desk until he picks up what I think is a small phone, tapping it madly. He puts it down, his expression changing as he gets a clear view of his desk calendar.

“You almost had me there. However I expect that with this foolishness out of the way you'll be ready to give me 200% on Monday. Both of you are dismissed.”

I feel utterly defeated.

>>38866659
Agreed. I've never liked Ooi in any KanColle media to begin with (the whole clingy possessive lesbian schtick really grates on me after awhile), but at least KTKM is usually pretty chill and laid-back in most portrayals.

Even in the first installment of the writeup, while KTKM wasn't exactly set up as particularly kind or noble, it was Ooi who seemed to be primarily the instigator in the whole picking on Willie D stuff. The actual outward actions in this latest installment aren't entirely out of character, but the internal monologue shows KTKM to be a lot more actively mean than she came across previously. Before, I'd gotten the impression that Ooi was the really bitchy one and KTKM was just kind of going along with it. Not particularly nice, but not particularly mean either. But I guess they're both just total cunts in this quest.

This is what confuses me about Shipslut Cuntakami version too.

There's a hint at first here

>I walk up to his desk. It's the typical, teak looking fancy officer desk, with a paper calendar taking up most of the space along with a computer


Then there's this...
>the last appointment, it was a little obscured by the desk clutter but..

And lastly it's shown by
>blindly pushing things off his desk until he picks up what I think is a small phone, tapping it madly. He puts it down, his expression changing as he gets a clear view of his desk calendar

She quickly memorized what was on the calendar when she went to pick up the paint and could see most of the entries from where she was standing.

Who started the confrontation with Willie? It was Ooi pretty much.

Chp2 is mostly Ooi.

In chapter 3, while she's a bit mean spirited against Tone and Shigure, that's because you can see her thoughts. From an outside view, it doesn't look like she's very angry.

If Touhou has taught me anything, is that it's important to not just copypaste the same kind of personality 100%. Also don't base things off the anime.

Nothing wrong with taking creative liberties with characters in a derivative work. Though I can't say I see the point in doing so in a way that just makes them both completely unlikeable.

You might want to ask Planefag that as Crix is just building off of that.

Nah, he hasn't said anything about how they should act, I've asked plenty of setting questions though.

The "characters" of kancolle barely have any character as is outside of fanworks and doujins.
>>
>>38867083
some of them are damn good doujins.

>>38867130
And they aren't even 100 percent consistent so trying to be a stickler about some bullshit concept of "canon" in kancolle is retarded.

>“No, no, skipper, you don't understand,” he says, actually putting down his fork to gesture with both hands. “She's a fucking genius. Yesterday she tore into some fucking thirteen year old squeaker so hard he ran out of the room crying – and he didn't have earphones, so his mother hears, and SHE picks up the mic to sass back, and Sammy sent HER out of the room in tears.” Hate has the air of a teacher proud of his pupil.

I actually did something pretty similar to this once.

Planefag, what the FUCK. I expect better from you.

Kongo was commissioned in 1913, chum, and the IJN modelled itself pretty heavily on the Royal Navy in its early days.

Wait, disregard >>38867785, my memory's crap. The RN salute *is* palm-down/palm-in, because of the tar-stains on the cordage back in the Age of Sail days. I was thinking of the Army salute for some retarded reason.
>>
>>38867802
Yep, the RN do palm down, the REST of the British armed forces do palm-out.
