Now that the Brassholes have turned you loose, yourKANT-O-CELKANT-O-CELLE QUEST: BOLLIO BADMINTONLE QUEST: BOLLIO BADMINTON first priority is Naka. You'd hoped to delay this for a bit - give her some space, some room to let the morning-after humiliation of spilling her guts while drunk wear off. You remember how mad you were when you said a little more than you'd intended to when Goto got you buzzed in his office; how humiliated and exposed you'd felt. You can't begin to imagine what Naka felt like as she sat up in bed this morning and hit her head on the hangover.
But -
- she was right.
The lie you told to Thomas turns over and over in your mind - the delphinium flare in Shigure's eyes as she struck; the signature of an abyssal's gaze. You'd denied it to his face - treason, some might call an omission of that magnitude *treason.*
But after what you saw in the cell block - the young Marine who risked his very life to save her just because he was the only one that could - you couldn't bring yourself to utter it. After Shigure's violent and final demonstration of the futility of containing a rogue shipgirl, future responses will go straight to killing.
You think of Naka's guilty face, voice thick with tears as she tells you about leaving a part of herself on the other side of the veil. An icy spider crawls down your spine and nests in your gut.
You won't allow it. There's a lot of things you can't affect, but this isn't one of them.

The dorms are quiet when you reach them, aside from the faint strains of music floating through Harder's door when you walk by. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mYBSayCsH0
Naka's room is completely silent. Hesitantly, you knock.
“Come on in!” comes the bright reply.
You open the door timidly. The hall light spreads over the bare hardwood floor and unadorned walls, lighting the lingering gloom cast by shuttered blinds. The light keeps rolling over the bare chamber till it spreads across Naka's followed a moment later by a smile so big her eyes wink shut as she flashes it, flipping you a crisp finger-V to boot. “Hello, Admiral~”
Naka's sitting in the middle of an almost empty room. The government-supplied furniture is there - a bed and a cheap nightstand - but everything else seems absent. There's no lamp on the nightstand; the bed has been stripped of its linens (which are stuffed haphazardly in a hamper by the closet) and that's about it. You see some vertical bars on the left that are slotted to hold shelves, but the planks are missing.
Planefag is wrong
Your secretary is sitting on the hard floor underneath the shuttered window, knees pulled up to her chest. She's wearing some cut-off jeans, a loose t-shirt that says “MEGADEUS” on it and flip-flops. She'd almost look casual if not for the hairbuns; still neat and tightly coiled as always; too perfect for a product of casual effort.
“Hi,” you say lamely, stepping inside and closing the door behind you. With the gloom returned you reach for the light switch, but it just clicks forlornly, no answering hum of fixtures to reply.
“Aahaha, I got a little carried away cleaning and broke the light,” Naka says. “Still my old clumsy self, I guess. The janitor said he'd be by to replace it, but till then -” she reaches up and twists the blind-rod to let the summer sun stream into the room- “it's a sunny day outside!”
The slanting sunrays sparkle in minute particles on the floor - like little crumbs of glass, they seem like. Naka notices your noticing and giggles a little harder. “Ahaha, yeah, I didn't have a broom, so I had to put on shoes, see?” She lifts her foot and shakes her dangling flipflop a bit. When she sizes up your expression she smiles again, tilting her head and winking as if she's playing at flirtation - but it looks like a stained glass window after a rock's gone through it; empty and false.
An awful dread is creeping over you with sure certainty, your breakfast curdling into a cold lump in your stomach.
Something has gone very, very wrong.

I'd drop the "that's an order" but though. We can always bring the hammer of authority down if she doesn't respond, but I think giving her the opportunity to get lost in proper protocol and procedure isn't the best idea. We'll need to catch her off guard to get through the mask ...

9/10 isn't a bad number, especially if it's a commonly shared opinion (not true for various other ships)

Never said he wasn't. I much prefer Xenophon amongst Socrates' disciples.
>>43602281
Does it not? The Ship Girls are not the ideal representations of the souls of the ships?
I would say so.
The weirdness comes from a Platonic ideal being incarnated.

>Insinuating a woman is not a dess/10 and is thereby less attractive than other women therefore there are others that who are more attractive and appealing who will steal teitoku away from Kongou because they're dess/10, unlike Kongou, and they'll steal teitoku and hold his hand, and then they'll get married, and go on dates, and live a happy life together while Kongou rusts alone and unloved in a shipyard.
YOU'RE NOT HELPING DESS.
>>43602319
Shut up with the shitty faux philosophy.
>>43602335
Wouldn't a fat shipgirl just be a whale?
>>43602344
Oh FFS look we get it you want his dick, so shut the fuck up already.
>>43602344
Can't you find another teitoku?
>>43602344
ow my head
Kongo slow down

>Kongou rusts alone and unloved in a shipyard.
If you're lucky. If not, well, damn the torpedoes...
>>43602210
Unf. These shipgirls have great sterns.

That is an amazing idea.
“You enjoy titillation torturing Harder way too much to pass as a monk, Naka,” you say, glancing pointedly around the bare room. “What's going on?”
Naka's bright smile fades - but she keeps a pleasant expression plastered on her face as she hugs her knees to herself. “I just felt like simplifying things a bit, that's all.”
You frown, managing to loom disapprovingly at her from the middle of the room. “Simplify?” You're watching her face carefully, searching desperately for some hint of emotion, some flicker of warmth in those glassy eyes, a hint of the Naka, not this damnable doll-face Naka-Chan they stamp on the concert flyers.
“It's hard to focus in a cluttered room, Admiral,” Naka lilts as she wags a finger at you. “And I have that big concert coming up soon, so I need to practice my best. And the less stuff in a room the better the echoes are so-” she shrugs. “I just cleaned house a bit!”

There's already a whale!
A big, useless, whale
No warmth - but some color. At the corner of her mouth. The bare boards creak forlornly underfoot as you limp closer. Naka cinches her arms a little tighter and turns her head to look at you sidelong, pursing her lips coquettishly. “Admiral Settle, you're so forward-”
The tip of your cane sweeps out and pushes her chin to face you square. She bats it away violently, knocking it from your hand - but you're already turning the blind-rod to cast light downward, towards the little niche of shadow created by their prior angle. Naka's smile has fallen off her face completely now.
In the light, there's no mistaking it - the redness on Naka's cheek, the one she turned away from you every time she did a cute head-tilt with her smiles. This close you can even see a spot of blood at the corner of her mouth.
“Naka,” you say, voice low and hot. “Who hit you?”
Naka brushes her bangs back for something to do as she fixes her eyes on the door. “Arizona-san had a few words with me earlier.”
>>43602344
Kongou calm down, Jesus jumping titChrist.
Have you been drinking coffee again? All that caffeine is burning your brain out. You need to mellow out, girl--be cool.
>>43602344
Kongou.
You are a lovely lady and I'm sure your teitoku thinks so as well. He will never abandon you.
You hiss involuntarily as the pressure in your skull skyrockets. “She was angry at me, Naka, not you.”
“Oh, I think she was angry at me,” Naka says, a melancholy undertone poisoning her lyrical lilt.
“No, I hared off again without calling ahead-”
“Which you might've remembered if someone hadn't pressured you into drinking,” Naka adds mercilessly.
“Naka-”
“Settle,” she says, voice suddenly brittle. “Please. Please stop.”
[ ] Considering how you slew the *hell* out of those SOBs, this kid-glove treatment is starting to royally piss you off. Naka's not the only warrior missing the front-lines, dammit. You belong on a battle bridge, not a conference room.
[ ] Some things only come out when you're plastered - and what you said last night was vital, because not two hours ago, you confirmed it with Shigure. You were right, Naka. You were *right.*
[ ] ... stop. You avoided ripping away her Idol facade in the first place because you suspected that thin veneer was the only thing gluing her together, and now you're chipping at it. If trained therapists can't just talk away deep-seated depression, you've got no chance. But you *are* a man of action.
>>43602395
Hahaha, welcome to the club Naka
>>43602395
Aw shit.
>>43602395
Oh. Ari.
We are going to have fucking words.
This is not ok.
>>43602393
She'll look like a whale soon enough.

Both of them need to be said. Probably in that order, too.
