“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.

“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.”

“... 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.”

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.

Put in a request to the chain of command about getting some damned psychologists on base. Also more personnel to wrangle the freaking Corgis. Settle's an admiral, he can at least put in paperwork to request the resources he needs to unfuck everything.

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.

Get to work on a circular to that effect, or some kind of morale-booster... Something to solidify this hodgepodge of ships we have into a real fleet of shipgirls. Let them know who they can come to, who they can talk to, who they can trust...

That and what >>43208242 said. We need to TALK to Arizona. We have to start this father/brother/lover/admiral thing somewhere...

No need to be dramatic, we don't buy the whole romance angle, and don't want to make her feel like we're shunning her for her choices.

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.

Depends on how the fuck you look at it, doesn't it?

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?

>>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.

>>43208645
Shoukaku? But the way she seems to know about the other girls seems to fly in the face of that.

Society draws both the best and worst of us. Shoukaku, more so, is the product of the 30s and 40s, desperately trying to make sense of the 2010/2020s and find her place in them.

Yes.

To be more precise, Shoukaku, as we've seen, remains in touch with the past, remembering the city plan of the city before the firebombing for instance and Akihabara in the past. Does this affect her morals and points of view? As we've seen with Shigure, no more than the average Japanese of her time and the modern age.

Still, she tries to fit in with the modern world. She tries to reach out to the outside world. She tries to shed the past to reach the future.

The picture is still incomplete and I dislike making affirmations without full proof corroborating my conclusions.

Partly why I'd like to talk to Shoukaku more. The puzzle puzzles me.

Arizona is far more straightforwards, as befits a Battleship.

It's not exactly slitting but it's similar. It's a lot like getting an enormous series of papercuts that have been carefully lined with salt (due to sweating). A good rope meant for this sort of thing is ever-so-slightly absorbent, smooth enough not to rub, and enough give to it to allow a little bit of flex to keep bloodflow from cutting off.

Silk isn't exactly great at this, but it's a good material for clothes and various things...

Oh yeah, you need to be careful about which position you put someone in. You'd be surprised at what shape the skin on someone's back is in if they lie still and exposed for nearly a day.

That's for long periods. Most people who have handcuffs don't tool around for 4+ hours.

So, one thing we can take away from this is that we need more admirals as of some time yesterday. We are officially past the point where caution over what personnel to allow near the shipgirls is excessive and heading into the realm where it's actively fucking us.

If the CNO or whatever doesn't like it, ask if he'd rather have a shipgirl go abyssal at some point in the distant future when an admiral fucks up or have a shipgirl go abyssal in the near future when some issue we flat-out don't have sufficient staff to address tips her over the edge.

After clapping your hand on Arizona's shoulder and introducing her to the Pantheon of Olympus as your Designated Bodyguard, you can't very well send Arizona home like a child who's presence is no longer desired. So you give her phone a ring, and after she taps the mic twice to acknowledge picking up you call her to your office.

There is a *tremendous* amount of Paperwork awaiting your attention, and your goddamn inbox is chock full of Urgent Messages. You repress the urge to soak your desktop in fire and set the fucking computer alight, and begin the laborious process of working your way through it, top to bottom. A great many documents are various things from Your Staff, the unseen crew of pencil pushers that filter a great deal of this shit before it even reaches you. You haven't even gone to visit them, something you'd have never imagined you doing before, but with... well, the constant rain of fuckups, disasters and combats that have marked your short tenure at Yokosuka... yeah. Yeah, you're sure they understand.

Arizona is sitting in a spare chair on the other side of your desk, sorting through a big bin of letters you asked Hate to send over. He was more than happy to share his burden. They're mostly fan letters from Japanese admirers to their shipgirl waifus. Arizona slices open envelope after envelope, scanning them quickly and disposing with about a quarter of them with a small, disgusted quirk of her mouth. You're about halfway through your e-mail backlog when you notice her glancing up at you every now and then, out of the corner of your eye. Toggling the lever on your chair, you try to sink a little lower behind your computer monitor to avoid her gaze.

There's nothing to it, you think. But Goto's words about Kongou keep circling in your mind uneasily.

Hours later find the sun's long rays slanting through the blinds louvers, casting barred shadows on the opposite wall. Arizona seems to be reading the same letter over and over now, and you're slowly pecking out a reply to yet another e-mail requiring your special e-stamp. For the tenth time you alt-tab to a different application.

Arizona sets her letter down with a flourish and raises one eyebrow, expressing her doubt that you're doing work.

You chortle, raising your hands in surrender. “Dwarf Fortress.”

She cocks her head, inquisitive.

“Terribly. Dwarven effectiveness is mostly dependent on booze and whore supply, and the instant I start to see them as sailors - well, I usually need to start a new fort pretty soon.”

Arizona smiles and seems to laugh in that quiet way of hers. She stretches, raising balled hands overhead as she closes her eyes and stretches out her legs. You catch yourself staring a little too much and look away before she finishes and catches you gaping.

You turn your wrist over to check the time. “It's almost twelve-hundred hours, kiddo. Why don't you head home?”

She pouts and crosses her arms.

“I promise I'll call the motor pool for a ride.”

She quirks an eyebrow.

“No, I don't have *a* driver, but I do have *drivers.* It's wartime, hon, they always have a few people on duty.”

She looks dubious.

“Honest Injun. Some of the old crusty Marine chieftans are telling their young braves that The Bush Times have returned, and they'd best appreciate them ere the Winter of Our Peaceful Discontent returns with shitty MREs and no new guns.”

Arizona gives you a bright smile at that - she always seems to appreciate your humor.

... even when the jokes aren't funny, which is all the time. Still, she waves goodbye all the time and leaves you in peace, closing the door behind her gently and carefully.

You count to ten to make sure she's out of earshot, and pick up the phone. It hasn't finished the first ring before you hear a familiar voice on the other end.

“You asshole I've been calling you all day-”

“Wainright,” you grumble wearily. “I've had a shitty fucking day, so this had better be good.”

“Naka's not healing right,” he says without preamble.

You sit bolt-upright in your chair, the springs creaking slightly. “The hell?”

“She's not *healing* right,” Wainwright stresses, his voice strained.

“But she's out of the wheelchair and-”

“Not fast enough,” Wainwright repeats. “Not nearly fast enough. You saw Shiranui - it hasn't been two full days and she's already walking around and threatening to punt Kitakami's ass like a field goal. After getting blown half to hell, no less. Naka's just not healing fast enough, not for a shipgirl. And I've seen my share of nasty damage.”

You feel a hard, cold pit sinking into your stomach. “What are you telling me, Wainwright?”

“I don't know,” he says, the panic and frustration and fear evident in his voice. “I... I don't know. Something's wrong with her, but I'll be damned if I can tell you what.”

Goto's word's echo through your skull again - *we don't understand the rules.*

“And there's nothing I can do,” you fill in, “but you want me to know. So I'm aware.”

“Well, I... I guess,” Wainwright says. “I thought maybe some paid leave would do her good, but they've got this big concert coming up or something and she damn near bit my hand off when I suggested she postpone it and...” he sighs, sounding defeated. “I don't *know,* Settle.”

“I'll keep it in mind,” you tell him. “Thanks for telling me.”

He says goodbye, still sounding upset and worried, and you hang up the phone. The muted click of the receiver is crisp and distinct in the dusty room - it's still filled with boxes you had sent over from your little apartment, but there's no shelves to put the numerous history books on. When Harder returns his loaners it'll be even messier in here.

You recline in your chair and sigh as you alt-tab away from your luckless dwarves and back to the web browser, where Naka's last message to you is still waiting.

"Admiral."

Settle looks up at you, face every bit as drawn and haggard as his posture suggested. You give him a grin and dangle the whiskey you picked up from your fingers. "Time for a break."

He frowns at the bottle. "Too much to do, Naka," he practically creaks. "Maybe another time."

"Nuh-uh," you reply, dragging a chair around and falling into it. "This *is* 'another time.' I gave you a day after that fight with Hate..."

He twitches. "You saw that, did you?"

"Heard it first, caught the tail end of it. Come on, Settle. Take a break. As your secretary, you need it."

Settle pushes back from his desk, exhaling through his nose--he'd never believe it, but he reminds you very much of the stereotypical Japanese businessman, working himself to death. "All right, you win. Shall I fetch a pair of glasses?"

"Nah," you reply, pulling the stopper and taking a swig--before coughing as the burn hits your throat, earning a raised brow and a faint smirk as you sputter and wipe your lips. You pass it to him with a silent grimace, and he slugs one down, quick and smooth.

Admiral Settle... the man is a fortress, you've decided. A standing tower keep, tall and regal. But right now, whether he knows it or not, the tower's collapsed. He's still Settle--still dedicated, disciplined, dutiful--but only because those are the bricks laid down at his foundation. It's a testament to his willpower that he's kept it together at all--the stones fell straight down, as it were, into a pile roughly resembling organized. You chuckle to yourself at that. Castle Settle is still weathering the siege--but the siege won't stop until no stone lies atop another. You know from experience.
>>
>>43209561
In all seriousness though, ignoring the problem will not make it go away. Trying to understand the shipgirls better is a good idea.
>>
>>43208435
I can't help but wonder what Settle or Hate would hear.

I suspect that for the former it would sound a lot like a high-caliber she'll hitting the bridge of an Arleigh Burke, while for the latter it would sound like the overpressure from a 16" gun crushing his organs.
>>
AH, HERE'S NAKA

THANKS PLANEFAG, ANTICIPATING PUNCTURED DICK
>>
And you know, in his state, he both 1: needs to talk, and 2: wants to do anything but. Hence the bottle. "So..." you begin carefully. "I've been meaning to ask."

"About Hate?" He sighs, the faint age lines growing a hair clearer as he squeezes his eyes shut. "He's angry and loud."

"Could have told you that, chief," you reply, taking the bottle back. "He's American."

"Har. You know what I mean. He's not... content here. He doesn't feel like he's doing enough. So things... well, you saw. I made nice with him already...despite his best efforts."

You shake your head--Settle thinks he's over it. He's not. "So how did that go?"

Settle snorts. "You remember when you got yourself homework on the 'what-weapons-do-you-come-back-with' thing? My turn."

"Let me guess. He wants Yamato back in the fighting."

Settle raises a finger, and then lowers it, looking vaguely dejected. "You know. Of course you know. How the hell do you--"

"He called me up for that one." At like four AM, of course. "You... actually said yes?"

"She gave him one of her guns to use on his frankenrifle. Hate's a greasy little shit, but I can spin it into a win," he insists. "He gets let off the leash--"

"Nice dog joke," you interject.

"Thank you--and we get one of our hardest hitters back."

"So you gave him what he wanted in exchange for... a whole lot of stress, grief, and work," you observe drily.

He grimaces and takes a shot. "Yeah. But it's win-win, pain in the ass aside."

"What about the nationalists?" you ask carefully.

"I owe them one," Settle growls. "For you and their Yak bullshit."

You narrow your eyes, frowning. "I'm a big girl, Admiral. You already took on Hate and Yamato's problems. Don't take up mine."

"My base, ships that follow my orders, my problem," he insists.

"Settle..." you feel your voice soften, annoyance dying in your throat as you close your eyes. "You can't keep this up."

He chuckles bitterly--somewhere, deep down, he knows it. You know he knows it, and he laughs like he's watching a shell whistle in on him from downrange. "Watch me, sweetheart."

You sigh again, taking another swig of whiskey and immediately regretting it. No sense telling someone who wants to die he's going to get himself killed. "At least square things up with Hate, okay? Properly--I don't know if that means drinks, fists, or both. But you're not going to bury a fight with him under another fight with him."

"Probably not," he admits grudgingly. "Any tips to unravel the lousy bastard?"

"Professional opinion?" you offer. "Whatever he says, it's not 'here' that he's not content with. It's himself."

"I'll bet that sounds familiar," Settle notes, as you take another, more careful gulp of peppery booze.

"It does. To both of you," you add, pointing a finger at him over the top of the bottle. "No bullshit, Settle. That argument hit you pretty hard."

>>
>>43209692
Everyone feels fear. It's simply an acknowledgement of danger. How you respond to it is what matters.
>>
"Did it?" he asks, tenting his fingers, a touch of warning entering his voice.

"It did," you push, sliding the whiskey back his way. "You tried to lock it down--I got to watch your face when it happened. Scared the shit out of me. You don't want to turn to stone, Settle."

"Worked out well enough, I would say."

"Bullshit, sir. Stone crumbles. And... so will we. You understand that, right?"

He waits for you to continue, swishing the quickly-draining bottle around in slow, lazy circles.

"First off--we're all here because we're dead. The ships, I mean. Most of us lost our fights once already. And we're war vessels from a very bloody war. Tell you the truth, it's a fucking miracle we've all come home each time so far. Look at the rates from our first go-round. It's going to happen again. And you, O Admiral of the Stone, either you petrify, and you just don't give a shit, and you prove Hate right--or you crumble. Break hard. Probably to never come back."

"So... what?" Settle asks. "What's your point, Naka?"

You sigh. "My point is that I don't want that to happen, Admiral. You're a better man than that. And I don't want our deaths to destroy you."

"...I'll take that under advisement," he says, his tone softening. His posture relaxes just a bit--you scored a hit there, and you're glad you did. For his sake.

"Which brings me to the other half of Hate's argument." You reach for the booze and take another swig, ignoring the burn even as you tear up a little, no match for this little bottle of fire. "I guess it's what I really came here to talk about."

"And that is?"

You look into Settle's eyes as you lean forward, setting the whiskey down between you, your tone taking a faint edge. "Settle, I think he's right about the Abyssals."

"I just got finished dealing with his 'capture' mission proposal for the hundreth time, Naka--"

"Not capture," you interrupt. "I want to bring one back."

That hangs in the air between you, heavy enough that you swear it could knock the whiskey off the table. "...Explain," he says.

You sigh, leaning back again as Settle takes the bottle back. "First off--I trust you, but I need to make it clear, I trust only you with this. This can't leave this room." He nods, studying you more closely. "To tell you the truth? The God's honest truth... sometimes I think I have more in common with them."

He balks. "Them? The Abyssals? Bullshit."

You bow your heavy head faintly, the sudden ringing buzz of days of uninterrupted drinking weighing down on your back. "I've always felt like I was... missing something. Like--I left something over there."

"Sendai," he says quietly.

You smile ruefully. "That sure as shit cemented things, didn't it? I fucking hate those swords she brought me. It just--confirmed what I always thought. I've always, always felt like..." you take a breath. "...Like I have a foot on the other side."

"Bullshit again," Settle says. "I've seen you. You sing, you dance, you give Harder confused boners."

You smirk. "Settle, I've spent more time dead than alive. I'm almost one hundred years old, now, and I got dragged back to life in a botched ritual meant for someone else. No amount of dancing and singing can change that."

"That's still a hell of a jump to 'no Settle, I am the demons.'" He points out. "What's the difference between you and any of the other girls? Or Harder?"

"Hygiene and a sense of balance?" you offer, before dropping the joke and the smile off your face instantly. "There's more to it than that. A lot."

"So... start," Settle offers, reaching for the bottle again to mask his impatience.
>>
>>43209437
Playing it straight with Naka's worked so far ...since no one else treats her that way. We need her -- so let's make sure SHE knows that. On the other hand, let's make sure she isn't deliberately or unconsciously healing slowly because she wants to stay on the beach and be our secretary ship rather than go back into the field.

I'm sure I'm missing other bases we need to cover, but it's a start. Let's not let this linger, Goto LITERALLY just told us that's what he did with Shiguire ... and we know how that went!

>>
>>43209692
I was speculating more on how the ships heard the moments of their deaths, while the humans heard their names.

My assumption is that's because the humans haven't died, not because they're human; Iowa, for example, would also have just heard her name.

You and the Admiral, though... I'd say it's arguable as to whether either of you survived that night. Certainly neither of you is the same as you were before the attack, and I mean that in a metaphysical sense; you've both been touched by the supernatural now, and those marks run soul-deep.
>>
>>43209749
We've been ignoring Naka for God knows how many threads, trying to pretend she wasn't descending into alcoholism, and then you tell us she's getting even worse. What part of all that was supposed to tell us that we should continue to ignore her?
>>
You practiced this. "Well, when they summoned me, I heard one of them apologize to the shrine maiden overseeing the ritual," you offer nonchalantly. "Saying he tried to 'send me back' when he realized the ritual had 'gone wrong but couldn't.'"

Settle grimaces. "That sounds more like a job for therapy than anything."

"Unfortunately for Harder, it's not all daddy issues," you reply, cutting off that line of thought. "Though I wouldn't doubt I'm 'depressed' by human standards. Kind of hard to test on us--we just show up. No psych evals, no screening. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't pass the standards to work around us, put it that way."

Settle chuckles darkly. "Yeah, I got a lesson on depressed shipgirls this morning."

Uh-oh. "Did you?"

"Shigure."

You blink, and then put it together. "Shit."

"Pretty damn basic, now that I look back on it. Shunned, and gunned. She almost mailed my head into the ocean. Then she tried to blast herself."

You lean in, gripping the table. "Damn it. Really?"

"You sound more surprised that I expected."

You sigh. "I knew it was bad--when things get like that, Settle, have you ever--how do I explain this. When you're in that hole, you want to be left alone, but you need help, but you can't TAKE help. You follow me?"

"Better than I'd like to admit," he nods.

"So--there's no quick fix for that. No easy win. I've tried to be friendly to her, but that just makes her tense up and wait for the cruelty to follow. Until someone can force the issue..."

"Yeah, I saw."

"It could be worse," you note. "We can't discount the idea that... maybe one of us COULD go the other way. Abyssal."

Settle doesn't like that, falling into a stormy silence with his face clouded over in a scowl. You can't say you feel much better about it. "So...what do we do?"

"You need a volunteer to attempt..." you fish for a term. "First contact. Someone who won't really mind going bye-bye again, if it happens." You do half-hearted jazz hands at him as he lifts the whiskey, eyes locked on yours through the glass.

He gets the insinuation. Settle frowns, sliding the bottle back. "You ever thought about just... plain old anti-depressants?"

"Yeah," you admit, taking it yourself. "It's all brain chemistry, right? And we do have brains. You've seen the X-rays, the anatomical diagrams in the standard briefings about us, right?"

"Yeah..."

You smile cheerfully. "Congrats! You've seen me naked."

"It's you in those pictures?" Settle asks, a bit taken aback. "Brain scans, ultrasound--shit, I remember there was something about a tissue biopsy."

"Yeah. I volunteered. I just--wanted to help, you know? Somehow. Because--you know." The (new) alcohol's starting to hit you--you're not in the braindead muzzy phase yet, but your emotions are certainly feeling swingy. Fine by you--you need to get a lot off your chest with Settle right now anyway.

"This still isn't telling me why you think you're an Abyssalkin, or whatever," Settle notes, a faint slur in his voice as well.

You hold up two fingers, in open mockery of the V-sign pose you make all the time. "Part two, then: Because I'm a liar. A really, really good liar. Manipulating people is easy as hell. I'm manipulating you right now."

"What is this, a mea culpa?"

"No, I'm just pointing it out. I can read people. I was always good at it, but--well, when I was new, I tried people-watching. To learn how to act like one, I mean."

"It seems to have worked."

You slap your palms down on the table. "Goddamnit, Settle, I'm serious. It scares the hell out of me. I do it on reflex--the lies come easy. I have to work to tell people the truth. For a while, I thought it was pathological. I'm not proud of it."

You stare at him in stony silence for a moment, before he gestures slightly, offering the both of you an out. "People-watching?"

"Yeah. Faces, body language. Words unspoken, remember? And it comes down to a few things. People are pretty similar. You find the loose threads, you pull them back to their origin, and before long you've untangled the knot. I can read you like a book."

Settle chuckles, sensing the need to fill the conversation with another lull. "That a fact? Okay, Miss Human Whisperer, profile me."

You take a hard gulp of the whiskey and bite back the coughing fit. "You feel like you're a janitor that got pressed into a doctor's coat and no one's thought twice to ask yet," you answer primly. "You don't feel worth command--you'll take responsibility, but you're afraid of it. You're trying to stay level and professional and you keep coming unglued, more and more as things around you get worse, so then you double down and you go icy cool, until someone or something pisses you off again, and it's right back to square one."

"That one was easy," he says with a shrug, reaching for the bottle.

"You wish you had died on the Higgins," you add softly.

Settle freezes mid-grasp.

"It's true," you reply, voice going steely as you stare into Settle's rapidly-darkening features. "It reads in everything you do. Don't get pissed, don't build up a head of steam, don't ask me what I'd know about it. You know what I know about it."

Slowly, Settle's hands relax from the white-knuckle grip on the table's edge. "...Okay. What DO you know about it, Naka?"

"You and Hate have a lot more in common than you think you let on. That's why you piss each other off so much. He thinks his duty goes down a pair of ironsights. You think yours was back in LA."

Settle stares at you for a long, long moment, before he finally snatches the whiskey from the table and kills the entire bottle. "That didn't last," he growls.

You give him a tired grin and produce the second bottle.

"...I knew I made you secretary for a reason," he says with a dark chuckle, leaning back into his chair.

What was it like, before I came here? That was what he asked. What he meant was "what were YOU like, before I came here?"

So you tell him.

You tell him about the first days, tripping and falling, the humiliation and embarrassment. The long nights of study, classical art books, gymnastics, anatomical diagrams. You tell him about the days and nights and days blurring together into a formless, soupy mess, sleep shifts few and far between. You tell him about the hours of research online, and the days on the dance floor. You tell him when you first learned you had... other, more humanlike qualities.

"I found a male ballerina's playlist on youtube," you reminisce fondly with a lopsided grin, remembering those thick, toned calves, "and the rest was browser history."

You tell him about the Abyssal wearing your face.

"It was less than a month since I'd been back," you say quietly. "Mixed light raiding party--more of those back then."

"I remember," Settle says quietly. Nothing like LA--after the first, ruinous attacks, the Abyssals switched to fast hit and run, harassing and harrying coastlines with near-impunity, the early response still too slow to reach them before they vanished into the rolling fog.

"It was a pretty big group, especially for then--we estimated six or seven destroyers and a CL. Goto really wanted us to crush them, get our first big win against the raids. He set us in two task groups--Kongou, Tenryuu, Desdiv 6, and Tatsuta, me, Akebono, Hamakaze, Teruzuki, and Akizuki.

"Kinda overkill, wasn't it?"
>>
I wonder what Naka has to say about some other characters, like Shoukaku.

“As another formation of bombers crossed overhead, the antiaircraft officer couldn’t stand waiting for the SOC to get airborne. His five-inch guns, elevated high, roared. At once the muzzle blast, just ten feet from the plane, tore the canvas skin right off the plane. As Lt. Harold S. Hamlin recalled, “the pilot found himself sitting on a picked chicken—the blast had removed every stitch of fabric from the plane. Pilot and crewman scrambled out, and the forlorn-looking plane, naked as a jay-bird, was jettisoned.””

>>
"This was before they started juking us," you reply. "Before we realized they could be tactical. We actually had breathing time between attacks back then--less worry about leaving forces behind in case of a feint."

"Kongou's fast in class, but not fast enough to run down CLs and DDs."

"The plan was classic hammer and anvil--Group one sets up, group two swings around and drives them into her guns. By the time they knew what we were doing, they'd be too damaged to get away whole. If nothing else we'd cripple their damage output if they slipped out and reformed."

"And? Did it go that way?"

You chuckle bitterly. "Does it ever? No, I guess that's not fair to Goto--the plan did work. It was just that fucking weather. One of those storms. Seas turned to shit, spoiled our destroyers' aim. We went with guns, Akizuki to back the CLs up if we got hit from the air. The storm cut our firepower in half. And..." you sit up and force your buzzing head clear, focus your blurring eyes on Settle. "A single Abyssal CL with a gaggle of destroyers, what does that sound like to you?"

He makes the connection quickly, even drunk. "Torpedoes."

"Bingo. It hit me just in time--got the warning out right before around thirty of them passed through our zone."

"Lucky."

"Lucky, yeah, but before we could get back on target, the Abyssals were already gone."

"Gone?"

"I swear they just sailed into the clouds, and nothing came back out. Like they were never there. We got one or two and damaged a third, but..."

"Not a proud kill tally for that many IJN girls," Settle nods sympathetically.

"And, there's more than that. That CL running the show? I saw her."

He heard more than that, though. They were actively talking to him.

What the Secret Squirrel Brigade found is more primal. It’s the sound of death itself. If you haven't died yet, it just knows your name. If you have, it knows more.

Which raises the question of whether you start hearing the sound of your own death once you've rendered a specific death inevitable, or if you have to actually die first.

"Her?"

You chuckle again, feeling the icy creep cinch up your back even as a stony dread drops down your throat to ache in your gut. "Me."

"You, what?"

"My face, my hair. My eyes, just... blue. Like a foglight over the water. And when I looked... she knew. She looked back at me, Settle." You swallow, the room suddenly feeling very cold despite the whiskey. "And she just grinned, and strolled into the fog, and then she was gone."

"...Which is why you think..."

"Yeah." You mutter, lips feeling drawn and tight over your teeth. "Yeah."

You fall into silence at that, arms wrapped around yourself at the sudden chill. You can't even bring yourself to reach for the bottle. Settle does it for you, pushing it closer to you, expression clearing despite the alcoholic haze. Still a mountain, even when drunk. Seeing him square away as best he's able helps you do the same, and you roll your stiff shoulders. "Which brings us to yesterday. Did Goto tell you what he heard on the phone?"

Mount Settle--no, FORT Settle, you're not Arizona or Shoukaku--stands up, taking an extra second to gain his balance, before he shakes his head.

You take a breath (and a drink) yourself. "They nuked him."

Settle's eyebrows fly up and then drop down. "...What?"

"Whatever they did, however they did it, they made him go through a nuclear bomb by sound. Not a nice, clean, instant vaporization. Somewhere inside the radius, enough to 'feel his nerves set on fire and his skin sandblasted off.' He said it wasn't 'just' pain--somehow, he knew."

"But--how? How would they--"

"There were ships in Nagasaki, Settle. That's my guess."

"Jesus."

"There's more. They showed him his grandfather."

Settle may or may not know the man's history, but he can put the implication together well enough. "His dead grandfather."

You nod dully. "Yeah. Made him go through his final moments. He remembers it. 'This is what you are to them,' they told him. 'This is what they did to you.'"

Settle falls back into his chair like a pile of rubble, leaning back as far as it can recline, a hand to his temple. "...How in the fuck did he not just punch my lights out first thing when he woke up?"

You shrug. "You could ask. Goto's a strong man, Settle. And a smart one. He has a lot of respect for you, and a sense of perspective. He's only one man for all us girls, but..." you smile tiredly. "He's a pretty goddamn good one."

Settle nods absently. His eyes flit a little, left and right, as he forces his tired, alcohol-soaked brain to work, putting together what he knows of Goto, how he behaved these last few days, after what they did to him. After a moment, he finds the point he was trying to grasp and his focus returns, back to you. "And you want to SAVE those sons of bitches?"

"I do."

"Even when they do shit like that?"

"They learned it somewhere, Settle," you reply darkly.

"Don't give me that. When we dropped the bombs--"

"No, I'm serious. Maybe--maybe they're violent because violence is all they know. All they understand. Maybe the line between us and Abyssals isn't as clear as we'd like to think. They can TALK, Settle. They can reason--you've seen them in combat."

Settle says nothing.

"And now," you finish, "you've spoken to them."

Sidling into a reference thing:
History has been forgiving in a way. The war was ended via that bomb, with less loss of life by projections; and the loss wasn't as punishing to Japan, which now thrives.

Of course most Americans aren't aware of the full details, but there's a reason you don't get spat on when you go to Japan.

>>
Once again, you fall to silence--you take another gulp of booze and push the whiskey back Settle's way. He drinks, but slowly--as proper a sip as one can take while passing the bottle. He's thinking about it. He's thinking about it...!

"...What's your angle, Naka?" He finally asks. "You think you might have more in common with them than your sisters--" you flinch at that word. "--Sorry. Your fellow shipgirls, and you want to save the Abyssals."

"Want to try to save the Abyssals," you correct. He waves his hand at you vaguely.

"Try to save them, whatever. Are you trying to save yourself?"

Sah-wing and a miss, Settle. You laugh once, twice, and then let your head fall on the table with a glass-rattling thump.

"...No?"

"No," you mutter into your flat, wooden pillow, "Just... no."

He sounds torn between apologetic and frustrated. "Walk me through this, Naka. I can't read people like you do."

You look up at that--that and him nudging the whiskey bottle against your cheek gently but insistently. "All right, fuck it, fine. I've told you most of it, I may as well tell it all." Snatching the bottle by the neck, you toss it back, coughing and hacking your way through another round of burn. "You know how Harder's been tormenting my destroyers?"

You can see a dozen quips spring to his lips, but he forces them down out of respect for you. Heh, thanks, Admiral. "Yeah."

"He's been stuck in old habits. Old tasks. His duty." You enunciate the word pointedly. "We all have that feeling, even when we've adjusted to the modern world. This compulsion to...act, to fight. I think it's part of what makes them come back--the ones who come on their own, I mean. I've got it too."

Settle's a smart cookie. You can practically see him remember your pathetic hospital stay, the first time you introduced anyone to Naka--the real Naka, the simmering bag of issues and misery. "...And..."

No, on all accounts. Didn't buy a new katana until just a year ago, used the family one instead.

But it doesn't change that you refuse help, deride people that try to help people with PTSD, and generally act like jumpers that stand at the edge but don't have the guts to take the last step forward.
>>
Your voice dwindles to a faint croak, and not from the harshness of the whiskey. "And I can't," you whisper. "No matter how much I want to. A shot at my duty is... a liability, to everyone else." You go for the bottle, then change your mind, pushing it away in disgust. "So I try to be useful. Keep myself busy. Do anything I can to fill that hole in me. But I can't. Nothing I do can. I'm a warship that can't make war, Settle, and it's all I want to do."

"...No wonder you twigged to Hate so fast," he offers. You snort, wiping the tears from your eyes with the back of your glove.

"Tell you the God's Honest? The only reason I'm functional at all is because I've just... given up. Passed it up as not for me. I tell myself if I can just help everyone else do their duty... well, it's not a substitute for mine, but--" you give up trying to hide the tears. Fuck it, you'll pin it on the whiskey. "I just want to help, Settle. All I ever wanted to do was help everyone."

There it is. There's the last piece. You see it click into place in Settle's head, his honed military mind slamming it home. Admiral Settle finally unravels you, the same way you unravel everyone else.

"And that's why Sendai's freaks you out so much."

"She came back, for me. For ME," you rasp, a hollow smile all you can manage. "I can't... fall back on my old excuse any more. I can't give up on myself without letting someone else down. I've got NOTHING. I can't fall back on my deep, dark stupidity. I lie to everyone, but I can't even lie to myself any more."

OVERHEAT AND EXPLODE? At least US torpedoes would have. Not 100% sure if Long Lance torpedoes cook off when dry, but they would result in PURE OXYGEN FIRES which is so much worse.

Speaking of which EOD is going to have a FUN(tm) job of recovering those Mk13s the corgis scattered all over the alleyway. I'm assuming the torpedoes are Mk13s because Mk8s would have cooked off by now and most of the base hasn't been levelled by ~4000lbs of torpedo TNT.

Remember the shell we pulled out of Arizona? HE shells like that have a warhead of 75-150lbs or so. Mk13s have 600lb EACH. It's probably going to be the same EOD team that fled in terror the first time.

What we should be doing is black-bagging every single psychic, witch, shaman, and anyone who even hints at having magical powers and putting them through life-threatening tests to see which ones have real magic and which ones are just fakes.
And if we go to grab someone and they've already run? Then they've got great potential and we should do everything to track them down.

Magic, or at least some kind of previously unanalyzed phenomena, exists and we should be trying to figure it out.

You stare into Naka's tear-stained face - a light cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy, your dutiful and devious secretary, and a scared young girl - and start to laugh.

Because she's right, of course.

She's right.

Goto said as much to you hours earlier, in that closet - you try to carry everyone, but when you do, you just crack. And even if you succeed in making them feel like someone's pulling them - even if you could be the Sendai to every damned Naka-chan on base - you'd just leave them like this; torn and gutted by their own inability to meet perceived expectations.

Maybe it's the alcohol - no, it's definitely the alcohol, the goddamned bottle is empty - but this strikes you as fucking hilarious. Fucking hilarious.

It's all a circle, you think, watching the room spin dizzily. It's all a circle, and you can't get out.

“That's why you can't heal,” you state intelligently, hearing the slur in your own voice and not giving a shit. “That's why you can't heal. You left something behind.” You sway onto your feet, and pat your right thigh, where your dress whites (why are you always wearing these uncomfortable fucking things, anyway) conceal the hole in the muscle of your thigh. “You left something behind where you belong, and now you're incomplete.”

Naka doesn't ask you how you know. She doesn't confirm, or deny. She simply agrees with a small nod. She's wiping her gloved hands across her delicate features more often, trying to blot out the tears that flow more freely with every passing second, her pale flushed rosy from the drink. “Settle, you can heal. And-”

“Shut up,” you snap. “Shut up. Shut up, shut up traffic cone, shut UP!”
>>
>>43210660

Fuck you, Janice when.
>>
She shuts up, tears streaming from her eyes. She's bared herself to you this evening, exposed every dark secret, every miserable self-condemnation, and she's seen into you at least as far. Looking at her is painful, truly and terribly painful, like a needle jabbed into your beating heart, but this time you can't even pretend to know the right thing to say. All the nuances and glib replies slip right off your tongue to leave you standing here like the big dumb yankee scum you are, a hulking crippled dumbass who came crashing into someone else's war sixteen fucking months late thinking you could possibly know more than the people dick-deep in it from day fucking ONE.

There are no words of wisdom, not this late, not this deep in the bottle, that can get through to her. All you know is what you feel, and even if you can never find a way to make those feelings reality, you know you'll die trying - and she'll just have to be satisfied with that.

They all will.

“How can you not understand?” you ask wearily. “How can you, of all *things,* not understand what they *are* to us?”

The other end of the line is literally as silent as the grave.

“Symbols of our nations. Shields for our civilians. Graves for our heroes.”

Silence.

“We have them back,” you whisper. “By the grace of God, we have them back among us once more. And we'll be damned if we let them go again. You have *no* idea what you're fucking with.”

A singer is what can talk to the other side, get them to listen, maybe even bring that lost part of Naka back.
And the role has a big part in traditional Noh plays, which I think would promote a connection to wherever shipspirits come from.

I feel like I made the right choice then. She's Naka.
>>
>>43210897
That first option.. talking about how the girls are all symbols and shields of the people...isn't Naka's whole deal that she feels she CAN'T be that anymore? I don't think throwing that in her face again will really do anything but convince her that Settle doesn't actually understand.

She's a ship but she's also a girl. Even duty is over at some point. There's a life to live out there. If she dies the next day, so be it, but all wasted lives are a tragedy.
>>
>>43210740
>[x] You're still a pretty good singer, traffic-cone. They gave a singer a medal, once, for what he did for the war effort. The world's better with you in it, kid.
>>
>>43210948
So the question is, would reminding Naka that she has a stake beyond duty be a good thing when she says she wants to fulfill that duty and her entire idol persona was created because she couldn't fulfill that duty? That her duty is what she really wants to do, but can't, and that's what's been eating away at her?

>>
>>43210948
If she goes full Cthulhu, think of how much extra paperwork we'll haft to deal with. That alone would be nightmare fuel.
>>
>>43210989
Perhaps the matter is showing her combat is not the only way.

Shes thinking of herself too much as a warship.

I guess the crux of the issue is once again.

They are not girls entirely.

They are not warships entirely either.

And if they start to head down one path too much, it is up to us to bring them on that tightrope.

>>43210948
>[ ] You're still a pretty good singer, traffic-cone. They gave a singer a medal, once, for what he did for the war effort. The world's better with you in it, kid.

I think that's the point we need to make. She isn't just a warship anymore. She has a reason to keep existing besides the need to fight.

In general, it seems like many of them are having trouble sorting out this new duality.

>>43210982
And like this guy said, let's keep the conversation about her.
>>
>>43210989

Yes.

Shes thinking far too much as a warship.

We have to remind her her girl side exists too. Shes not just a warship.
>>
>[X] You're still a pretty good singer, traffic-cone. They gave a singer a medal, once, for what he did for the war effort. The world's better with you in it, kid.

>Naka implying that she hasn't been useful
>Naka implying that she can't feel complete without being fight boat

Naka is fine the way she is. She's such a great manipulator? Keep Settle from committing suicide by shipgirl.
>>
>>43210740
>[X] You're still a pretty good singer, traffic-cone. They gave a singer a medal, once, for what he did for the war effort. The world's better with you in it, kid.

Remember how we go on that they are more than warships? I think this is the moment to keep our word on it.
>>
>>43210994
>Perhaps the matter is showing her combat is not the only way.
That's what the second option does, but Naka was saying that combat is instinctual for her and ship spirits; it's a part of their very being, and she thinks that part of that is what got left behind and became Abyssal.
Saying that maybe combat isn't for her, would be reinforcing the idol persona that Naka erected because she couldn't fight but still felt that by helping others in their Duty, she could fulfill some little bit of her own.
The very thing that Naka said was a complete lie as she broke down.
>>
Fuck it, we just need to make The Iron Giant required viewing for all the shipgirls, shipboys, shipdogs and shipbirds that come back.

I like this idea, if only because I think everybody should see the movie whether or not they're a shipgirl.
>>
>>43211006
>She isn't just a warship anymore
>it seems like many of them are having trouble sorting out this new duality.
Yes, that's true, but to deny the core desire to fight, to fulfill a Duty to defend the homeland by direct action against her enemies, is to deny the ship part. The part that Naka says exists in all shipgirls.
>>
>>43210968
They pay us to command. And command is about people -- and being whatever you need to be on that particular day. Part of that in the instant case may be demonstrating that we value each and every ship girl no less than any other person under our command, and a hell of a lot more than mere hardware!
>>
>>43211037

It's better to live a lie than to drown in depression until you can muster the will to off yourself. If she can't live for herself, then live for us, or her fans, someone.

We can't make her a working ship with our words, no matter how much conviction we put behind them. They're as empty as her Idol persona, but one is more soothing.
>>
>>43211037
Or we could just realize that absolutely nothing we can do is going to end well, this being a planefag quest, and just ride out the storm. Maybe if we're lucky there'll still be something standing at the end.

>She can help in the war effort in ways other than being a large destroyer
She can, she knows she can, she's been doing that by being an idol singer.
And she said that it was all a lie because it still doesn't fulfill the Duty that's in her heart.
Not being a destroyer, but a support person, an idol singer that nonetheless uplifts the spirits of hundreds of thousands, is still unfulfilling and devoid of what makes her feel like she's doing what she's meant to do, no matter how much she knows that consciously she's helping the fight more as a singer than as a ship.

In fact, it's being a shipgirl, and being more useful as a girl than as a ship, that's made her so depressed.
And telling her that this is the way things have to be, that she should be a singer than a fighter, has it's own set of problems even if it works for Naka.

Best coast west coast. Though sometimes it's weird being on the edge of the world timezone wise. Couple days ago we had our federal elections up in Canada and the polls closed at 7pm. But by 7pm west coast time they are already counting the eastern votes. So what tends to happen is that things are decided hours before and counting our votes is basically a formality.
