You fidget awkwardly, testing your tea to buy time - still too hot, alas. “Well, uh-”
“Tell me,” she says, squeezing your wrist, her eyes imploring you desperately. “*Please.*”
“Well... like Mikasa, I guess.”
She blinks. “What?”
“That's where you belong,” you tell her. “A museum berth. You all do. You all fought your wars, and now... you deserve to rest.”
She blinks. “But... but the abyssals-”
“That's why we *need* you,” you say sternly. “And Christ knows, we need you girls, but - did you really think we wouldn't *want* you?”
“Yes,” she says quietly.
The mug is starting to burn your hand, but you grip it tightly anyways, unable to trust yourself not to slap the blasphemy out of her mouth. “How the-”
She drags her chair closer to you, bumping her knees against yours. “I... I'm going to show you something.”
“... I know all about the faeries,” you say sternly. “And if it's where your planes come from, I don't-”
“That one's so old I don't even bother with the witty retorts anymore,” she says - it almost sounded stern. “Now... just...” she takes a deep breath. “Just... look, okay?” This close, you can see the flush in her pale cheeks even in the dark.
“Shou-” you begin, but she's already turning her face away from you, eyes closed, flush deepening. With her left hand, she pulls down the collar of her loose nightgown, revealing her small, bare shoulder and collarbone. “Shoukaku, what the-”
She takes your captive wrist and presses your hand flat against her collar. Before you can pull away, you feel it - the small spot that throbs with unnatural heat. Yanking your hand away, you see it - it's actually glowing, ever so faintly, soft amber light barely detectable unless you look askance.
“Chrysanthemum,” you whisper softly.
She nods - and swallows nervously. “The Emperor's symbol. It marks me as his servant... his property. Kaga and the rest that fell at Midway... they still had hope of victory, at least. They sacrificed the rest of my sisters as decoys, hoping to get their 'decisive action',” she spits bitterly, “and were humiliated by a handful of tiny gunboats and escort carriers. They were thrown away - for vainglory, for desperate gambles. I don't feel like I held a line, Settle. I was just a tool for the Emperor's glory, and...” she swallows again, squeezing her eyes shut tightly as tears trickle down her cheeks. “And I come back, and only Goto's treated me any different... and you. How am I supposed to believe they won't just... *discard* me, again?”
>>46804480
SETTLE HAS SHIT TASTE IN 2HU'S
The words sink deep into your head, vanishing into dark depths like poison pills dropped down a well. You shudder as the pantomime of the abyssal ships plays out in your head again - the eager, cute little shipgirl, battered, bloodied, still excited, still happy and proud to be useful... and the callous, quick way his hand - *your* hand - slashed out her name, before moving on to the next victim.

They were built to protect. There was life brought to them, the fires in their eyes. They may either stand and fight with the rightous, or be struck down as the protest vainly against those who remember.
That said, I pitty the poor ships who must be summoned, dragged back from the void, for should they not come, a fate worse that. Hell awaits. When Satan fought God for rule of the heavens, those angels who did not choose a side were cast out, abandoned by both camps. It would be tragedy to see something similar happen if our girls were unable to come of their own accord.

It is known that Hate is the Emperor's greatest gift to Mankind.

SO HATE, FUCK ALL THE SHIPGIRLS THAT WANT YOUR DICK
In the meanwhile, the powder keg continues to simmer. The LCS are skirting the edges of the hodgepodge of ships, both to identify them and to stay close without being in the thick of things. Halsey continues to charge north to provide peace of mind under her umbrella- and I realize that the patrol loop for those global hawks is fixed relative to her, so I adjust that to my liking. I've picked up a few ships from the chinese SAG heading towards us at speed. Still haven't launched any aircraft, though I did offset the two tankers hanging at the halfway point by singapore and set them up with a sustainable mission.

I mean, to an extent I do think it's fair to say that the Abyssals have something of a point -- speaking strictly about the way ships historically were treated. Yeah, we treated ships like tools. But we had no good reason to think they were anything but, and even so we still gave them a good deal more affection and respect than most tools. Maybe not to the level of treating them as people, but ships have always been more than *merely* tools, and, again, we had no good reason to think of them as people.
Now, for whatever reason, the ships are able to show themselves to be people. That's a bright neon line in and of itself -- however we may have treated ships in the past, it's a rather different story now that we know for a fact that they're definitely not just tools like anything else we build. And moreover, even if the Abyssals do have some legitimate grievances about their historical treatment, the proper thing to do now that they've achieved the capacity for independent action and expression would be to use their words like civilized grown-ups, not go marauding like wanton beasts.
The ships have spoken up and revealed their true nature. The kanmusu have shown themselves to be people, so by God they'll get all the respect and dignity a person deserves. The Abyssals have shown themselves to be vicious beasts, so by God they'll get put down like the animals they are.

Perhaps. On the other hand, look at how well that turned out for Europe between WWI and WWII. Germany experienced a resurgent period, captured almost the entire continent, pushed deep into Russia, which would have fallen beneath the Wehrmacht if not for lend-lease. Only Great Britain stood unconquered.
Perhaps had the victors continued until no German block stood atop another, then there would have been no WWII.

Kongou thinks Yankeedere should hurry up and ask Yamato out on a date dess!
Yamato is so elegant and perfect and tall and beautiful and perfect dess. She's busty and she smells nice and she's kind and caring and everyone loves her dess!
Yamato is the perfect bride for teitoku dess!
SO HURRY UP AND TAKE HER FOR YOURSELF YANKEEDERE!How could Kongou dess ever win teitoku's heart over against someone like Yamatao dess?

I don't know, sixteen incher's below the waterline in a whole lot of places probably doesn't exactly keep her tight you know?

Someday, we'll have a carrier that's fun to be around andis also single.

Well guys it's gettin pretty late and I'm tired so I'm gonna update again.
(hue)
>>46805023
she's a "secret" it seems.
Kinda like she was in the last war - technically classified, but everyone even remotely connected knew anyway
>>46804964
Have you considered asking Yamato if she'd like to share tietoku?
You could teach her a few things I bet.

Pretty much. Except that we use 'em 'cuz they're cheap as shit. Seriously, there are entire mountains of them in Jersey and Southern California because it's actually cheaper to buy new ones than to ship 'em back to China empty to be reloaded with rubber dogshit.

Also, she was powered by ethanol or some shit like that, so I'd assume that means she's such an alcoholic that if she ever stopped drinking, the accumulated hangover would kill her.
>>46805164
I mean in KCQ she's a bitch but she's not always a bitch.

Of course Kongou smells nice dess, but it's like comparing a MacLaren to a Rolls-Royce.
It doesn't matter how sexy and nice the MacLaren looks dess, because everyone is going to pick the luxurious and beautiful and elegant Rolls-Royce dess.
>>46804994
How could Kongou ever beat THE elegant and perfect Japanese woman and battleship in a housewife-contest
Kongou would have a better chance at getting Hiei to stop drinking protein shakes dess!

she was a cruise liner, so you know she can be classy when necessary. Truly a best carrier
>>46804540
[ ] ... no. No. NO. There's a difference, a line, and it's neon fucking orange. You came back to defend those you loved - even if it was only your comrades, and not your nation. They came back to kill and murder, indiscriminate and wild. They are traitors. Traitors to everything that matters, traitors to everything they once aspired to.
Shoukaku, the life of a warship is to sink. It is my job to send them to places where they will sink. I am not afraid to spend warships, but I never waste them. So, you can continue with your attempt to gaze into the abyss, but letting you do so would be very... wasteful.
Come, we have a war to win

before you even start to think about shitting up /diy/ with another shipping container thread; no, you can't bury them to make a bunker.
>>46805244
... Well, you must have some quality that Yamato doesn't have.
Else, you might as well consider alternatives.

Kongou.
How about.
Not appearing infront of Goto for a few days and hole up in your room under a blanket, just be quiet and enjoy a few days of peace quietly.
And then wait for Goto to get antsy and show up.
And this part is important: Don't jump on him the moment he enters the door.
>>46805289
what about a fortress?
>>46805265
She's just very closed off and proper. She's not emotionless.
>>46804800

I've got an idea...
*sssssip*
You're not gonna like it, though, so I'll keep it to myself.
>>46805336
Yeah, I'm pretty sure we saw anger earlier.
>>46805344
Say it anyway.
>>46805244
holy shit this >>46805328
You've tried so hard with trying to get him, why don't you at least give one or two days of playing hard to get?
I mean, if nothing else is working, it's not like this will make things worse
>>46805328
Fucking this, do this.
Don't forget to wear the track suit.
Apparently if you wear a track suit indoors, it means you've given up hope on... everything.
Which Teitoku will interpret as you being REALLY vulnerable! Like, NOT FAKING IT VULNERABLE!
>>46805357
Nahhh, not even that great of an idea. No way Kongou could pull it off, anyway.
>>46805244
>>46805328
this this this
absence makes the heart grow fonder
>>46805234
You best be ready to pay out the nose for all the alcohol that is required, then. And get ready to post bail whenever she goes pub-crawling.
>>46805244
Get buzzed on monster coffee, take advantage of higher speed and hopefully quicker reaction time, and demonstrate superiority that way. Dodge around any shots Yamato puts out, and close to a range where her 14 inchers have a chance of penetrating the armor.
>>46805378
Yeah, you're probably right. Wrongou couldn't heat a pop-tart without the instructions on the package.
>>46804887
The cutest.
>>46805244
...Kongou can go back to the future?
>>46805324
I have a small folder of Jun'you for occasions such as this

Which is why dess, Kongou is trying to get Yankeedere to ask out Yamato dess. Two chirpy-chirpy-flap-chaps with one British-Imperial-Measure-Of-Weight. Kongou dess is a genius!
>>46805426
The queen owed Kongou a fever dess.
Okemi-san can tell you about it dess.
>>46805328
Tried it dess.
Teitoku ignored it dess and went to have tea with Haruna.
Haruna is a fucking bitch dess.
>>46805426
She can't hit 88 miles per hour.
>>46805352
To be fair, it is not like we didn't indirectly assault her before that (we gave Zuikaku a blunt instrument to beat her soundly with). Plus, you try acting completely rationally immediately right after a pitched brawl.

Fair enough, and she IS based on the same battlecruisers that went BOOM so nicely at Jutland, but not even with Monster Coffee? It's already been demonstrated that she just blurs with it in her system.
>>46805413
Kongou's not dumb, she's just... She gets focused on things and tries to take the most direct route there.
If anything, I don't think my idea would work because I don't think she could be subtle enough about it.
>>46805462
Yamato ain't fuckin interested in anybody. She'd fuckin tell me if she was.
>>46805507

Absolutely.
Fucking.

So,ask her about how she feel's about Settle.
>>46805528
Marine.
Japanese culture isn't the same as 'Murican culture. You actually have to go out and ask people shit.
Go.
Ask Yamato what she feels about you, in full.
Do it.
>>46805571
I mean, they're absolute shit in just about every way that matters but DAMN aren't Tenryuu and Tatsuta nice to look at.
>>46805528
Yankeedere is so blind to the ways of a woman's heart dess.
Do you really think a beautiful and proper Japanese woman like Yamato would just outright ask you to sleep with her dess?
Preposterous dess!
>>46805554
Kongou is a wonderful auntie to the Queen dess!
>>46805462
Have you considered that Haruna might be trying to get you to make a serious move by providing some seeming "competition"?
>>46805603
this is actually an interesting point
>>46805607
Thanks. I appreciate hearing that.
>>46805608
Kongou, Kongou
What if
What if
Now stay with me
You help Hate and Yamato get together
Then them being all loveydovey will create a nice atmosphere around the base
Which will then ignite the sleeping fire in Goto's heart!
Do it. There are seasons of love, but you can jumpstart it by playing matchmaker.
>>46805643

Well now you have two options:
1) Maturely and directly talk to Yamato about how she feels about you. There you control the situation.
or
2) Be a lunkhead Marine and let Kongo do what she will to play match maker and lose control of the situation all together.
Your choice.

Quickly, down your coffee and make it so!
inb4 planefag wakes up with a keyboard imprint on his face and a long string of fffffffffffs in his word document.
And then, of course - you remember the rage.
It's nothing you can pin down - and increasingly, nothing you can even hope to control. Minutes in contact with Abyssals - maybe less - and you feel it sweeping you along like a black river, sucking you towards the falls with terrible, accelerating velocity. It scares you - discipline is everything to a military man, and twice so for one entrusted with the burden of command - but you can't help yourself. Everything they *are* is a blasphemy to the principles you've built your life around.
Because they betrayed them.
You grab Shoukaku's chin in your hand and turn her face to yours. She shivers in your grasp, eyes flying open with surprise. You stare deep into those topaz eyes, unblinking - you want to make damn sure she understands how much you mean every word.
