“Why do we fear them so much?” you ask sharply. In the shadowed confines of this little cell your long-buried irritations are itching harder than ever, worming their way to the surface. “They came back for us, didn't they? Either on their own, or because we called them, and they answered. If we can't trust them, why are we making them fight our battles? We draw chalk circles around them and put up “No Unauthorized Personnel” signs and then we go 'gee gosh' when they go bugshit and we never noticed the signs? Does that rea-”
“You really think it's voluntary?” Goto says, his tone so flat and empty that it cuts you off mid-rant. “Settle, has Naka ever told you about how she was summoned? Because I was there. I saw it.” He takes a deep breath, composing himself. “It wasn't beautiful. It wasn't special. And it sure as *hell* wasn't *voluntary.* We were trying for a battleship - Haruna, I think - and we ended up with her. First thing she heard was the shinto priest apologizing for mucking things up and getting her instead.” He falls silent again, his dark eyes focused on something in the unseen distance. “She found a purpose, eventually. Found a place. She's... happy.”
You wince.
“I think.”
You wince more.

BEAT NAVYFAG
“Abyssals showed up at the exact same time shipgirls did - you ought to know better than anyone. That implies that something *changed,* some universal, physical constant. You ever read about the Stargate program?”
“Men who stare at goats?”
“Yeah, that one. Remember that general they went looking for?”
“Yeah, in the blue tent? Millions of taxpayer dollars pissed away on bullshit and hokum, what's new?”
“You remember how he was actually under a blue tarp inside an apartment, yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“It wasn't an accident, Settle. It worked. You look into psychic shit, or ghosts and hauntings, or whatever you want - once you eliminate the ninety-nine percent that's just funny lights and superstition, you still have far more than you can explain away. And that's before this war proved us sailors right about our ships that go bump in the night. They didn't shutter Stargate because there's no such things as psychic powers. They shuttered it because they didn't understand the underlying principles well enough to get useful results out of it. We don't understand the rules, Settle, but that doesn't mean they don't exist - or that they can't be exploited. We're doing medicine the old-fashioned way, ninety-five percent chanting and throwing chicken bones and five percent actual science, as best we know it. It's hit and miss, sure. But don't think for a second that we can't bring them back against their will. Or that they want to stay here once they get here.”

Missed it last thread!
First for fairies first to fight! Where's my fairy marine corps?!
“... so draftees,” you retort. “That doesn't change the principles of leadership, Goto. We can't ask things of these shipgirls we won't do ourselves-”
“Like commanding from a glorified conference room with a few flat-panel LCDs?”
You open your mouth and close it again in a poor imitation of a beached fish.
“Yeah. Every time you walk into that room, you give it a once-over like you want to piss on the displays and force-feed the tech the remote.” Goto chuffs. “Guess I would too, if I'd been a warship skipper. But my girls don't respect me any less for it, that I've seen.”
“Right. Girls,” you reply. “You stressed that to me yourself. We can't just expect them to bear everything with a stiff upper lip because they're proud independent warships don't need no Admiral.”
Goto smiles, but it doesn't reach his eyes. “Yeah. Girls.” He sighs. “Y'know there's a betting pool among the kanmusu regarding me?”
“You? What about?”
“Guessing how long it'll take before I give in and bend Kongou over a dess.”
You huff with amusement. “I can imagine who the ringleaders are.”
“Yeah. I know.” Goto closes his eyes, and for a moment, in the sallow light, you see how damned *tired* he looks. “Course, I've thought about it.”
>>43208057
It's a great feeling.
>>43208085
>bend Kongou over a dess.”
MY KEKS
He chuckles as you burst into coughs, trying to unstick your tongue from the roof of your mouth. “Yeah. I know, I know. When this... this whole war first started, when they first dredged me up for the job, Kongou wasn't like she is now. Kind of. She was still...” he waves his hands in the air randomly. “Kongou. But she wasn't always kicking down my door or trying to *literally* jump my bones. She didn't have to, because... because I was there.” He sighs, bonking the door with his head a third time. “There were only five or six of them... then seven... then ten... then twenty...” he shakes his head. “How could I touch Kongou, when there's so many girls like Shigure? How can I play favorites, Settle?”
This time you have no answer.
“I heard about it from Kitakami. She texted me about it.”
“Uh, did she-”
“Mention the part where you got a cannon stuck in your mouth? Yes.”
Well.
Well, shit.
“She also called you an 'unbelievable white-knight wank-a-thon',” Goto sniggers. “She's wrong, mind you. You weren't wrong to try. It's just that the time to try was months and months ago, and I was... I was busy. Very busy.” He heaves one last sigh, and you can see him settling against the door, as if he'd like nothing more than to fall asleep right there, sitting on an economy-sized pack of one-ply, shut off from the world. But instead he stands up, pushing himself up the door with his legs, and cracks his dark eyes open. “We really are Admirals now, Settle. Not glorified supply clerks or PR hacks. And certainly not Captains. So we can't go down with our ships anymore... no matter how much we want to.”

Goto reaches behind his back and opens the closet, making you both blink in the harsh florescent light of the empty conference room. When Goto first pulled you into the little alcove you thought it overly dramatic, one of his flourishes for dramatic effect, like the suduku puzzle - but now you understand the gesture. “I think I'll pull a few select ships from frontline duty and have them spend time with Shigure. A few ships that probably need a break themselves... You just see to those, those remedies you were pondering earlier. E-mail me, or something.” Goto drifts away through the halls, meandering towards his office.

Remember, warships are literally made to kill people and break stuff .They're not like soldiers; soldiers are something you become, and god willing something you can stop being. It's their purpose, just like a lion hunts and a squirrel hoards nuts. You're dealing with enormous metal war machines twisted into facsimiles of humanity.

Brief Arizona on your conversation with Goto, and ask her what she wants to do with the rest of her day. Promise to stay in your office if she'd like a break - you've promised to stop being so dumb and she'll hold you to that. If she wants to stay, get some advice - perhaps you should get a morse code translation app for your phone so you can actually, you know, communicate.

Fucking this.
[X] Brief Arizona on your conversation with Goto, and ask her what she wants to do with the rest of her day. Promise to stay in your office if she'd like a break - you've promised to stop being so dumb and she'll hold you to that. If she wants to stay, get some advice - perhaps you should get a morse code translation app for your phone so you can actually, you know, communicate.
planefag, spaghettiships when?
ENRICO DANDOLO-TIER RUSES ARE NEEDED
Report to your own office, and call Arizona in to 'guard' you. You may as well get started on the paperwork for the new Corgi wrasslin equipment right now. She can stamp things, or some shit.
Plus, actually talk to Arizona. Settle needs some one to bounce off idead and contemplate what happened. And call the boss as well.
>>43208297
That's not even the best Deme edit for that page.
>>43208133
>[x] Call Arizona and send her home. After that whole... thing with Goto, it's probably best to get some time away from her for a bit. You've got to think things over.
Get things sorted and re-prioritize things with a clear head. No muckin' about.
>>43208403
Be sure to look at some of the write ins that got support that aren't mutually exclusive to the winning vote. There be good ideas there.

So, as I've got work in the morning, I'll be posting my WRITEUPS EARLY.
First up, INTO THE DEEP END: http://pastebin.com/hW8x9Sfn
>>43208240
Depends on how the fuck you look at it, doesn't it?
Some people do it to kill shit and break things. Some people are idealistic, they fucking do it because they think they've got a duty to defend the ones who can't defend themselves. It's an important fucking distinction, too.
>>43208396
Well, there's of that on both sides, I should think.
>>43208403
Oh? Just when I was about to switch to contacting Wainwright. Too bad.
>>43208374
She can't talk Bentus. We can be as introspective as we want while she sits in the background.
>>43208268
>It's not even an option
You know that means it's too late right? There is a shitstorm happening in the background now and the aftermath is going to take a shit on our desk once we get back to our office.
>>43208386
>Guys, shouldn't we be finding out from Wainwright about the escalating situation before it explodes?
Okay, but shouldn't we be dealing with any of the half-dozen problems sitting on our plate rather than retreating into seclusion because Shokakou fags who have never bothered to ask /why/ she is so desperate to jump Settle want to score waifu points at the expense of Arizone?
>>43208435
I-it's not a 'deito'! I swear!: http://pastebin.com/z8JBH5Yx
Who won? This one seemed close
>>43208440
>Oh? Just when I was about to switch to contacting Wainwright. Too bad.
that's in already. it's not a mutually exclusive action, after all~
Regardless of which choice was picked, the samefags still won.

No, its a chance to find other problems and then go seek them out. Rather than just focus on Ari.

Settle should have ran while he had the chance.
>>43208587
>>43208511
I'm not sure, but her behavior is odd compared to the other Japanese kanmusu. Now Naka was probably an alternative Japanese waifu if we had pursued her, because Settle offered attention of the sort Goto was no longer able to provide. Shokaku may be in a similar situation, ready to pounce on Yankeetoku because he's available while still being more confident and thus aggressive than Naka.
But Shokaku-fags accusing Arizona of being clingy and drawn to Settle by her various unresolved issues are probably the pot calling the kettle black. I expect we'll find out more eventually, though.
>>43208577
>Clanner complaining about someone else being a moonwalking faggot
Hah, irony.
Running away is also for non-lyran faggots.
>>43208587
Ayeeee. we're fucked.
>>43208587
>ship girls playing D&D
It has potential.
>>43208587
It's Ok, it is silk. At least Settle would be comfortable when the day comes.
>>43208587
The question is, sub or dom?
'Cause I can see it going either way
>>43208627
Shoukaku gives me the feeling that she doesn't have many friends among the other ships
>>43208479
damn, no wonder Parker spends all his time on Skype
>>43208516
>Hornet still wanted to tell us something after the battle.
Don't worry about Settle forgetting this, Hornet probably forgot what she wanted to say after the battle as well, for reasons
>>43208627
both are clingy, the way i see it.
>>43208637
So does a kongo-class in that outfit, goddamn. Where the fuck you suppose I'd turn up something like that though?
WAIT. I bet i can get Yamato to wear one.
Awwww the fuck yeah.
>>43208527
Is it?
>>43208548
>>43208577
>>43208610
Oh my. The Admiral is drunk again.
See, this is why I wanted him to be alone. To avoid incidents which are barely remembered the next morning.
>>43208627
I theorize that Arizona and Shoukaku are rather similar, if of different temperaments.
Of course, I have nothing but impressions and theories to support my claim.
>>43208648
Yup.
Starbucks-slurping reasons.
>>43208643
She can't be a sub, she's a BB
>>43208627
>>43208645
That actually makes sense. I don't see the other girls liking Shokaku much.
>>43208645
Shoukaku? But the way she seems to know about the other girls seems to fly in the face of that.
>>43208643
Kinda hard to have a dom/sub relationship if one of the involved partners is a fucking mute who wouldn't be able to give a safe word.
>>43208639
>not implying that Ari wouldn't tie up Shokaku and drag her into the fun as well.
I mean, friends help each other out, right? Just look at the example set by Hate and Settle in their friendship!
>>43208597
If somebody is picked to be the leader of a civ in Civilization, they've probably done something impressive.
>>43208637
>I roll to seduce!
>Dammit Kongou this isn't that kind of encounter!
>>43208627
Maybe she recongizes Settle as being a good thing and wants to get her best shot before some other big name takes him. Keep in mind that she was a ship in a war, so aggression is no stranger to her.
>>43208649
Has a point
>>43208655
Hate, please.
>>43208655
skintight suits are always good.
Hard to choose between those that show skin like a swimsuit or one that covers the whole body.
>>43208660
Bentus your the only fucking one that seems too know whats going on. Mind explaining too me the last threads quickly? I was un-able too catch the ones after we -myself included- climbing a tree and almost dying was smart guy move.
You know, I didn't need my trip. but fuck it, this threads already a warzone like usual.
>>43208571
I know it isn't.
>>43208668
Best girl indeed.
>>43208665
I think every interaction we've seen her have with the other girls has been neutral or negative
>>43208666
Nobody likes a gossip
>>43208655
You live dangerously, Lieutenant.
... Good luck in your endeavour.
>>43208435
Jesus...I really shouldn't have read that right before bed. Nice write up!
>>43208667
...
She's a battleship.
The safeword is "Oh god please don't shoot me Arizona. I promise not to do it again"
>>43208655
Are you a bad enough dude to brave the mean streets of Japan to acquire a skintight outfit for Yamato, Hate?
>>43208682
What is the chance she recognize how much advantage it is to seduce an admiral?
>>43208707
Anon, you're talking about a MARINE. Think it over.
>>43208707
Nah you can get that delivered. Or ask Naka.
>>43208699
Girls gossip by definition, they all do.
Even DesDiv 6. How else is all that stuff about yaoi floating about.

>>43208665
>>43208627
Oh god, she is putting up all sort of red flags
>>43208699
Probably because Shokaku, when you get to know her, is not a very good person - ostracizing the bullied girl and all that.
>>43208707
You seem to think I'm not putting on my boots to do just the fuck that right the fuck now. Not like I HAVE ANYTHING FUCKING BETTER TO DO WITH MY FUCKING TIME.
>>43208731
And this is coming from a Shokaku fag.
>>43208479

I can never find the original source

>>43208620
Damn it feels good to be a Lyran.
>>43208688
Why not both?
>>43208713
I don't think she's plotting something as she seemed shy
>>43208699
>>43208665
Well with the way Kaga acts, that might have something to do with it as she seems to be one of the highest regarded ships in the base.
>>43208731
You make it sound as if she's alone in that when a good chunk of shipgirls on the base do that and the only reason Ari doesn't is a lack of meeting her and not knowing her particular history.
>>43208731
One person's action can't cause something like that. It's institutionalised in the Japanese behavior. Yes, shes was wrong in abetting the behavior but not completely to blame.
>>43208745

Look at how she treated Shigure. There may be something to the idea that she's isolated from other kanmusu by her own attitude/actions and using Settle as a way out.
>>43208695
If you know this why post it any way? Why even have a trip? Is all you do is troll quest threads and whore for attention? Fuck off and stop trying to ruin quests
>>43208624
>>43208781
Is it the collarbones Arizona?
Is Settle's collarbones so sexy?
>>43208693
Oh, lad. If I know anything, it's that Demetrious leads us to glory, laughter and tears.
Not necessarily in that order and sometimes simultaneously.
In short. We've been dealing with the fallout of all of it. Mostly a nice little discussion with the Higher Brass about everything that's been going on.
Oh and Wainwright apparently figuring out how to ID Abyssals by acoustics.
>>43208737
Godspeed, Lieutenant.
>>43208744
Hmmm. I see false flags on the horizon.
>>43208781
Ah, Miss Arizona. I see you've taken the Admiral's phone again.
... Is he well?
>>43208737
Could you at least take Sammy with you? It'd be nice for some of the hulls to get off-base for awhile and--wait, this is a stupid train of thought. Don't rope anyone into your madness or it'll make the evening news and break on CNN.

I'm not 100% in favor of Ari, but I'd choose her over Shoukaku every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
>>43208767
It isn't a Japanese/Western thing. I know a lot of Japanese people who don't support that sort of thing.
