[2/2]

Right, enough of that. Time to get ready for school.

The uniform of Lafayette Girls Academy was simple. Red skirt, white button down shirt, navy blue blazer, and a red necktie. Naval Academy students had a similar set up, save for a matching navy blue skirt, and a navy blue jacket with the sailor collar, essentially looking very much like that one US Navy recruiting poster.

You look yourself in the mirror after a nice cool refreshing shower. You’ve never been one to question your hairstyles, because you generally just wear your shoulder length hair loose and free.

Not today.

Today, you have to make an impression on freshmen, let them know you mean some business. The only way to do that, is with a hairstyle that says, “I mean some business.” Unfortunately, you only really know two or three hairstyles, and you’re wearing one of them right now.

Now for the ultimate choice.

WHICH HAIRSTYLE DO YOU GO WITH TODAY?

> Ponytail. Sporty, makes as if you don’t have time for anything proper.
> Bun. Upper class proper shit that makes you look educated.
> Loose, fuck hairstyles.
> Other

>> Bun. Upper class proper shit that makes you look educated.
Is even an option is a total mystery.
We can be casual some other time.

> Ponytail. Sporty, makes as if you don’t have time for anything proper.

Meh, you’re feeling sporty. Time for a ponytail.

You take one of your unused scrunchies and knot your hair into a ponytail. You check yourself out, and you find that it’s actually not too bad. Simple, easy look.

Of course, the alternative was a bun, and you’re not entirely sure how or why you know it.

Anyway, you dry yourself off then get yourself into your school uniform. It’s actually the one you used last year, and thankfully you haven’t done too much growing. That means there’s no more worry if a shirt is too small or too big at the clothes stores anymore.

Of course that also means you’ve stopped growing. You sigh as you press your hand to your chest. That’s the worst feeling.

But hey, you’re dressed, you’ve got a ponytail. You’ve got the look of a Student Government worker, no- a Student Government President.

A knock comes at your door. “Hey, President!” It’s Nancy. “Ready to go?”

Ready to go?

You grab your backpack. Thankfully, Ramirez had the state of mind to get school supplies for you. Punctual as always.

“Yeah, I’m coming!” you say. You quickly adjust your tie then make for the door. As you open the door, you find your staff, Nancy, Lisa, and Ramirez waiting for you outside. Everyone is pretty much prepared for school.

Lisa says, “Ready for school?”

You nod. “Of course.” Nancy hands you a ziplock bag full of apple slices. “Oh, thanks, Nancy!”

Nancy smiles. “Oh, I knew you’d miss out on breakfast!” she says as you begin stuffing your face. “After all, you do have to give that speech to all the freshmen first thing in the morning!”

… oh right.

“Of course not!” you say. You summon the bravado required to make such a statement true. “They’re just freshmen! They probably won’t be paying attention anyway! Do any of you guys remember when the class presidents talked to us last year?”

Everyone says no to some degree. You snap your finger. “Exactly. This speech will be easier than a nun in a gay bar.”

“Of course, Boss,” says Lisa. “Anyway, let’s hurry and get to school.”

Nancy stops, her smile replaced with shock. “Wait!” All of you turn to look at her. “We forgot Kitten!”

You shrug. “She takes online classes, she doesn’t need to go to school today.”

Nancy pouts. “But she’s part of our crew! She should be with us at the Club Fair!”

“Well, the Club Fair’s after school, Nancy. She can just come by later.”

Alas, Nancy still pouts, not having that. “I still say we wake her up and bring her with us.”

“Kitten, you said you wanted to make friends, did you not?”

“Yeah, what does that have to do with-“

“And where do all the impressionable people your age hang out for the most of the day?”

“At school.”

“Ergo…?”

“… I should go to school.” There’s a definite pause as you wait for Kitten to deliberate. Finally, she says, “… fine. I’ll go. Give me a minute.” She hangs up.

You look over at your staff. “She’ll be with us in a bit.”

Nancy nods, regaining her energy. “Excellent! It’ll be wonderful having the whole crew together!”

Lisa nods, a bit more skeptical. “Why does Kitten not go to school anyway? I thought only the destitute and Naval Studies Kids took Online Classes.”

“Yeah,” says, now a bit curious herself. “I’ve been wondering why Kitten seems so shy. You know her right?”

“You’ve all gone through Middle School right?” They all nod. “Then that should explain everything.”

Nancy nods, understanding. “I see.”

The door opens a minute later, with Kitten walking out garbed up in her school uniform and looking positively pissed. “Right, let’s get this over with,” she says.

You shrug and lead the group on to school.

As you walk, you can see many freshmen on their way to school, packing their bags with all the recommended school supplies and all the recommended textbooks. You can’t help but snicker a bit. Your staff converses amongst themselves, with Kitten purposely trailing behind.

Finally, you reach the front entrance to the campus. Unlike most land-based high schools, Academyship schools were designed like college campuses with multiple buildings to allow for the higher student population.

And of course, at the front entrance were Hall Monitors checking everyone in.

“Oi, you lot, get over here!” says one of them to you. Great, another Irish hall monitor.

You walk up to the bespectacled and actually surprisingly short as Kitten Hall Monitor. She does not look amused.

“You having a gas?” she ask you.

What?

“Pardon, you say?”

“Oi, I’m asking the fecking questions here you gobshite! Look at yourself!” You all look at each other. Doesn’t seem like anything’s wrong. “It’s all wrong!” The hall monitor walks up to Ramirez and then snaps open a tape measure. She quickly measures the gap between Ramirez’s skirt and her knees. “Three inches above the knee! Regulations state that skirts may only go one inch!”

Lisa looks over at Ramirez. “Oh, Ramirez, I see you like to live dangerously!” Ramirez is non-plussed.

“Shaddup!” the hall monitor shouts. “I’m in control here! Pull down your skirt!” Ramirez quickly pulls her skirt down to the mandatory one inch. The hall monitor looks over at Lisa, “And as for you! Your tie is all out of alignment! I oughta ticket the lot of you for all this-”

“What in the hell is going on over here?” You look over at the newest Irish accent, and see O’Bannon walking over, apparently unamused.

“Hey, O’Bannon.”

O’Bannon looks at you, apparently surprised to see you. “Ah, was just looking for you.” She places a hand on the little Hall Monitor’s head. “I see you’ve met one of our newest trainees, Little Miss Megan O’Hara.”

O’Hara is having a fucking conniption at this. “I’M NOT LITTLE! I’m a Law Enforcement Studies Student and I deserve to be treated as such goddamn it you cunt!”

O’Bannon looks down at her, unamused. “Oh, sod off you little cunt. If brains were dynamite you wouldn’t have enough to blow your fecking nose.”

“Says the obviously corrupt blackguard who thinks taking greenbacks on the fecking side like some Norner brasser is a good idea you cunt!”

O’Bannon looks at you. “See what I have to deal with?” You shrug in response. O’Bannon looks back down at O’Hara. “Now, run along, go patrol the halls or some shite like that you fecking cunt, you’ll be more useful that way.”

O’Hara puffs her cheeks and begins walking off. Before she goes however, she says to O’Bannon. “You know, you’re a real fecking cunt! I bet if you ever chopped off those soulless locks of yours, you wouldn’t have to resort to blackmail to shag with a guy!” She begins walking off, then turns around and continues, “Oh! Better yet! Maybe Pinkerton will find her way out of the fecking closet if you two ever stop denying your fecking feelings for each other like little chinky schoolgirls in the yard! CUNT.”

THEN, she walks off.

O’Bannon looks a bit pissed.

“Welp, we gotta go to the Auditorium then, O’Bannon.”

O’Bannon nods. “Right, I was just gonna tell you that you’re needed there. It’s about 7:15.” You nod and motion for your staff to follow you.

The Auditorium was built to seat as many as 5,000 people. Thus, it looks less like a high school theatre and more like a grand opera house. You push yourself through all the freshmen piling in and make your way to the stage where a bored looking hall monitor lets you through without incident.

Several chairs have been laid out for the staffs, such as Fredendall’s and Betty’s. Speaking of Fredendall, her staff of three has actually arrived, but Fredendall herself is not here.

Oh right, she’s suspended. Hehe.

Regardless, in Fredendall’s absence, it seems that Betty’s gonna have to speak for both the Senior and Junior classes, that gives you some time to practice a speech. Of course, you could also get to know the other class staffs while you’re here.

Then they all nod. “Oh, don’t look at me like, it’s easy to give a speech to like 10 or 20 people you already know. Giving a speech to thousands is an entirely different thing, altogether!”

You quickly excuse yourself behind the curtains of the stage, and in the darkness of the backstage, you quickly go over some standard speech thingies that generally make a speech.

“Hello, my name is Gertrude Pool, welcome to Lafayette Academy.”

Hm, maybe a bit more enthusiastic.

“Hi, my name is Gertrude Pool! I’d like to welcome you all to Lafayette Academy!”

Eh…

“Lafayette Girls Academy is one of the best Academyships sailing the ocean, and it will remain so for years to come!”

That hits way too close to home.

“So, allow me to say, Welcome, and please enjoy your stay!”

You walk out and sit down in a seat besides your staff on stage right with Nancy being directly next to you. The Juniors and Seniors are to your left. Principal Tennyson has arrived and has taken the podium. The Hall Monitors are about telling the freshmen to quiet down, and soon, the scene is quiet and ready for Tennyson.

“Good morning, Freshmen. I’d like to be the first to welcome you all to Lafayette Girls Academy. I know I myself am clearly not a girl,” the freshmen laugh quietly, “but that doesn’t mean I will not try to make your stay here comfortable. You are here because you’ve all gone through the entrance exams, through MEPS, and are considered some of this country’s best and brightest. It is here you will learn how to do things in an educated and concise manner. Forget everything they’ve taught you in Middle School. This is where the learning starts. Forget SOL tests, forget cramming, just forget all of that. Here, you will learn to become a functioning member of society, through experience. I expect no less than the best from every single one of you, and looking at you all, I am assured I will get the best. Thank you.” The freshmen applaud and cheer on Principal Tennyson as he respectfully walks downstage to his chair, and out of the way for Junior Class President, Betty Grable.

“Welcome, my name is Betty Grable, I am the Junior Class President for the Class of 2015. Normally, our Senior President Lilah Fredendall would be speaking, but she’s currently indisposed.”

Don’t laugh don’t laugh

“Looking at you all, I can see the anticipation and the excitement in your eyes. You all want to get out there, show our Professors what you can bring from where you come from. Whether you are from NOVA, or as far down as Georgia, you all represent some of the United States smartest youth, and here at Lafayette Girls Academy you will become some of the best the United States has to offer, in the field of business or science or wherever you go in the future. I will tell you, what probably all of your teachers up to now have told you: please do your best. Don’t slack off. An Academyship is an institute of learning, not a vacation getaway. You do your very best, and you keep yourself steady and focused, I assure you, you will succeed. Thank you.” Betty bows to the applause of the freshmen. She takes her seat.

Your turn.

Ah shit.

You stand at the podium, clearing your throat. Man, they made that shit look easy.

“Hi,” you begin. “My name is Gertrude Pool, Sophomore Class President.”

“Here at Lafayette Girls Academy, we begin to grow. Not grow as in, ‘learn this and that’ or ‘make smart decisions’ and all that mumbo jumbo. We grow as people. Only on an Academyship like Lafayette can you get the practical experience to be a better worker in any career you pick, whether you be a scientist, a CEO, or even something as simple as restaurant owner. You’re not gonna get that anywhere else. And they say that it takes a village to raise a child. Lafayette Girls Academy is the community to raise yourself up high, and become the person you want to be, not the person other people want you to be. So, with that, thank you for listening.” You bow, and the freshmen applaud you. You even hear the shouts of your freshmen crew somewhere in the background.

That could’ve gone worse you suppose.

You sigh as you take your seat.

Tennyson begins to take the stage again.

Welp, might as well listen.

“Thank you, to our class presidents. Of course, near the end of the year, one of you might run the election and become the next Sophomore class president. But with that in mind, we must say again, please do your best. You’ve all come very far, but you’re not out of the forest yet, quite the contrary. You make it through the Academyship, it’s an instant ticket into the college of your choice, or a job in your chosen field. With that, welcome to Lafayette Girls Academy, the class presidents and I will do everything in our power to make your stay comfortable. Thank you.”

The freshmen applaud, and with that, they are being led out by the Hall Monitors.

Man, that was boring.

But whatever, you’ve got ten minutes ‘til class starts. What do you want to do?

“Hey, Betty!”

Betty nods at you, and that smile on her face looks incredibly forced. “Oh, hey Gertrude!” She gestures over to her two other council members, Vice President Maxwell and Treasurer/Secretary Jane Russell. “You’ve met Marilyn and Jane right?”

You nod. “Yeah, we’re familiar with each other.” You greet Marilyn. “How are things going, Mary?”

Marilyn shrugs. “Oh, good. You know I hear you’re reviving the Tankery Program.”

You nod. “That’s right.”

“Maybe you’d interested in helping us?”

The girls all take a peak at the Senior Council, who are looking at them curiously. They all look back at you say, “Nope.”

Why do you even bother.

Betty whispers into your ear. “I’ll try to do what I can, but right now, things are a bit complicated, okay?” You nod, cautious. “Now, we have to get to our classes. Seriously, good luck with the Tankery program.”

“Yeah, thanks, for what it’s worth,” you say as they walk away. The Senior council take a look at you, skeptical, then walk away as well.

Welp, time to get to class. You remember that Kitten isn’t registered for any lectures, so she’s probably gonna have to go with one of your staff or find some place to hang out until school’s over.

Who do you send Kitten with?

You walk over to Kitten, who has fallen asleep completely in her chair.

D’aaaawwww but anyway time to wake her up.

“Kitten,” you say as you shake her awake. She slowly stirs, yawning. “Time to go to class.”

She sleepily says, “but I don’t need to go to class, you fuck.”

“Well, too late now. Come on.” You stand her up, and she rubs the sleep out of her eyes. You look over at your staff and say, “I’ll take her with me. We’ll meet up at lunch alright?” Your staff nods.

Right then, off to your first class of the day!

Goddamn it, your first class of the day is MATH.

You quickly explain to the Professor that Kitten will only be here for the day, which he agrees to. Kitten finds a nice seat waaaaaay in the back.

As for you, where do you sit?

> First Row. Maintain that Presidential reputation and maybe learn something.
> Somewhere in the middle. That’s about it.
> The back. The cool kids club.

>>28055980
>> First Row. Maintain that Presidential reputation and maybe learn something.

>>28055980

Math is tonks

>>28055980
>First Row. Maintain that Presidential reputation and maybe learn something.

This is important stuff we should be learning.

>>28055980
> Somewhere in the middle. That’s about it.
Close enough to Kitten to monitor, not too close to prevent classmate interaction. Close enough to front to be active, not so close as to be in the teacher's sights constantly. The perfect position.

>>28055980
Main character seat! Main character seat!

But no,

> First Row. Maintain that Presidential reputation and maybe learn something.

>>28055980
> Somewhere in the middle. That’s about it.

>>28055980
One row from the back, three from the front, near the windows
The MC seat, duh

> First Row. Maintain that Presidential reputation and maybe learn something.

Welp, might as well go for the first row. You look back at Kitten, who’s already fast asleep.

Yeah, she’s gonna make lots of new friends.

Math goes by relatively uneventfully. The Professor introduced himself, the syllabus was given out, the sleeping kid in the back was explained, and finally some math was taught. You’re not entirely sure what math it was, you’re pretty sure it was something to do with algebra though. You were never good with math, there was a reason you always sat next to Kitten in Middle School, she knew how to do math besides the fact that you two were friends.

English goes by relatively the same as well, except this time, pretty much everyone had fallen asleep, and even you began nodding off towards the end. You kinda wish English was the first class of the day, it might be good to have a good nap before all the other classes.

Of course, now comes FUKKEN Chemistry. Chemistry has to be exciting, right?

Right?

You’re shaken awake by Kitten. “What? What happen?”

“You fell asleep, chemistry is over.”

Damn it.

Well, at least it’s time for lunch.

hey, quick question bossman.

On the shopping pastebin the Panther is listed as an Ausf D, but there's an option to take it to an Ausf A. Is there something I'm missing about the A being better than the D or what?

>>28056230
The D. Variant Panthers were the first production Panthers.

Essentially, it's mostly engine work and other minor details, but that's really important considering the Ausf. D was practically the tank that defeated the Germans at Kursk.

> Talk with Kitten

“So, Kitten, make any friends yet?”

Kitten shakes her head. “No. The only friends I’ve made are a sexual predator and your staff by proxy.”

You nod, that figures. “Well, Kitten, I’m sure you’ll figure something out. Hell, by the end of this year, we’ll turn you into one of the most popular students in this school.”

“Please no. I think I’d rather stick to tanks.” You snicker at that. “Anyway,” she says, “it occurred to me that we haven’t actually assigned our crews to our tanks, well beyond us of course. When are you gonna get to that?”

You shrug. “I’ll get to it later.”

“Ah, the procrastination spirit.”

“Oh come on, procrastination’s good for you. In moderation.”

You reach the Cafeteria. Lunch period was generally split between the four classes to cut down on congestion, and right now it was the Sophomore period. Thankfully, you’ve arrived before most of the crowd, that of course means the freshest food.

Still, might be worth it to find your crew first though.

>>28056335
>Get your food
After a bunch of classes and an assembly, I'd be pretty hungry.

>>28056335
Also, Comrade Schteel,

Not sure if this was mentioned before, but what's the economic breakdown of the ship. You've mentioned tuition before, and that Naval Studies Students are on an all expense paid scholarship (also, online classes being cheaper. But why would you go on an academyship to take online classes?).

>>28056408
Generally speaking, those who go on Lafayette are from the upper middle class of people below the Mason-Dixon line down to Georgia at the lowest.

Online classes are generally an alternative if you want an actual job aboard the Academyship, like Naval Studies. In cases where you aren't Naval studies, then you still have to pay regular tuition and you're at least expected (but not required) to take a job.

Huh, now that I say that, I'm getting ideas.

>>28056335
> Get your food

>>28056335
>Get your food

>>28056230
You know, you just reminded me to take a look myself.

Sweet fucking Jesus, where are we going to get the money for these upgrades? The friggin Sherman upgrades alone would bankrupt us.

Should go for the Panther and KV-1S first. Do people think we should go for the 152 or 85?

>>28056467
We need everything comp-spec first.

Then we can upgrade.

>>28056467
Smaller calibers are faster (both in RPM and velocity), but I feel they're more consistent as well. I'd rather the 85 or a late war 100 over the 122 and 152.

> Get your food

HAHA TIME FOR LUNCH

You and Kitten make it into the relatively short line, and soon, you’re walking out with plastic trays with chicken sandwiches, apples, and milk. It ain’t Nancy’s cooking but it’ll do.

You stand on your tiptoes and scan the now forming crowds for your staff. If there was any period of time in school where chaos reigned, it was lunch.

Fortunately, you find your crew already seated at a table having their meals. That was easy.

You and Kitten walk over and find yourself being greeted by them. You seat yourself between Kitten and Nancy, with Lisa and Ramirez across from you.

“Hey, Boss,” says Lisa, “how’d your classes go?”

>>28056491

“Oh, things went okay. I’m sure Kitten had fun, right?” Kitten shakes her head. You say, “okay, yeah, no. But seriously, chemistry is really fucking boring, I thought we were going to be mixing chemicals and shit and things would explode!”

Lisa says, “That’s only in the movies. Real chemistry involves looking at atoms, finding out how they’re composed, and memorizing the periodic table.”

“That’s boring. I want to make things blow up!”

Ramirez says, “Well we are taking Tankery, I’m sure something will come up.”

Lisa snaps her finger. “That’s right! I’ve been meaning to tell you. I got into contact with the recruiters over at the RSS, they told me we can hire an instructor from the Army. It will cost us though.”

“How much?” you ask. You brace yourself, this is gonna be expensive.

“1,000 Dollars. So how about Boss? We gonna hire an instructor, or do you have someone else in mind?”

>>28056680
>Hire Instructor
There's no other way unless Kitten wants to be our instructor.

>>28056662

I'd prefer to at least find out how the superheavy runs at least.

Tankery has far different tactical requirements, all you need to do is kill tanks, cost, effectiveness against infantry and airpower aren't factors here at all.

>>28056680
> Hire Instructor (- 1,000 Dollars)

Worth it.

>>28056748
I will give you that. But if it's a prototype and requires too much money to run, I think I'd vote for selling it to get the rest of our tanks up to spec.

>>28056786

I'd prefer to keep it (provided the costs aren't too exorbitant), I'd like at least one gimmick to screw with other teams.

Plus Kitten would murder us if we sold it.

>>28056835

>>28056835

Was that actually even supposed to be possible? From my understanding GuP wasn't the most historically faithful of shows.

>>28056826
>>28056835
Seeing as how we're still not even capable of even comp-specing all of our tanks, I'm not sure we could keep a prototype super heavy running.

I would REALLY like to keep it, but until we know which one it is, we can't make a good decision.

>>28056862
Only if Ramirez does heavy labor or something. She'd be a ball crusher.

> Hire Instructor (- 1,000 Dollars)

“Alright, we can lose a 1,000 on that. Hopefully they send us someone competent.”

Lisa nods. “Yeah, I’m hoping that too, you know when I was over there they would not stop trying to recruit me into the Army. Then the Navy recruiters showed up, and you know, it’s all a mess when I try to tell them I’m not interested.”

You snicker. “I bet you’d do alright in the Army, Lisa. Maybe you’ll get yourself a real cushy desk job or something.”

“Eh, if I wanted to do hard manual labor constantly just to do something boring, I’d be Amish not Jewish.”

Of course.

Nancy says, “Anyway, President, I scheduled our first Club meeting for Thursday, that’s the soonest they can send the instructor right?” Lisa nods. Nancy continues, “Unless you have any objections?”

“Nah, Thursday’s fine.”

Nancy claps her hands together, “Excellent!”

Anyway TIME FOR LUNCH

You dig in, because the Club Fair’s only a couple of hours away and who knows how long that might last.

Soon, the alarm signaling lunch is over sounds. Time to head back to class. You say goodbye to your staff and keep Kitten along with you.

Now it’s time for PE!

… oshit, kitten.

Oh man fuck EVERYTHING about the Pacer.

Kitten collapsed of exhaustion around lap 30 or so, not bad, but she’s literally too tired to get up. Being the good friend you are you’ve carried Kitten on your back for the past 30 or so laps, getting up to 65 before deciding to retire.

You set Kitten down on the bleachers. Thankfully, you made a purchase of a new set of gym clothes, a white shirt and navy blue shorts, for your friend Kitten, who’s now splayed out all over the bleachers sweating more bullets than a Machine Gun.

“How you feeling Kitten?” you ask.

She musters up enough strength to flip you off.

Well, at least you know she’s not gonna die.

After that, you change back into your regular uniforms upon the end of PE. It’s time to go through History! Maybe you’ll actually learn something about tanks!

“Nope. Battle of Tours.”

Damn it.

Well what about your other electives? Perhaps your theatre class is much bet-

Who are you kidding, it’s Theatre class.

Your final class for the day is another elective, French 2. Your French is still rusty, but at least it’s better than Kitten who knows nothing about it at all.

With the final alarm, school’s over.

You decide on carrying Kitten the rest of the way to the Club Fair, might as well, considering you made her sit through Theatre class. Somehow it’s much worse than PE but you’re not entirely sure why.

“You enjoy School, Kitten?”

“No, fuck you.”

“Is this because I made you go through PE?”

“Yes.”

You sigh. “Kitten, a growing woman needs to exercise, you know that.”

“I don’t need to exercise. I drink milk.”

“… that don’t make any sense but I suppose that’ll do for an explanation.”

Soon, you’re out into the Sports field, where Lafayette’s many clubs have set up booths to advertise for members. Some are giving out free pastries and food, others have videos set up to demonstrate what their club does.

But your club has tanks. Three of them to be precise.

The Sherman, the SOMUA S35, and the KV-1S have been enlisted as props to advertise in your large booth, where your staff are currently asking for donations or for people to join as they pass on by. Your crews, the Freshmen, the Aviators, and the Poles, are also about asking for donations. You decide to set Kitten down in the shade of the Sherman.

Where do you go from here?

> Help your staff advertise.

Nancy hands you a loudspeaker. Time to advertise.

You stand up on top of the Sherman and turn the loudspeaker on. “Lafayette’s Tankery Program is returning! Want to know how to drive a tank? Want to participate in a cultured martial art experience? Want to become a real woman? Join Tankery! If you don’t have the time to do it, you can at least donate so that we’ll be able to purchase quality tanks and lead our team to victory! Tankery World Tournament’s coming up, so please show us your support!”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lyl4UwXxTWc

You stand next to Lisa as she presents the informational video to a group of prospective students. They appear interested, but if your keen eye for interested people ever told you anything, these don’t look like a dedicated crew.

You quietly whisper to Lisa, “How come it’s in Japanese?”

Lisa whispers back, “I couldn’t find one in English.”

Well, that’s the way the cookie crumbles you suppose.

A sophomore in the crowd raises her hand. “Do the tanks actually work?”

You nod. “Of course they do! We wouldn’t be using them if they didn’t.”

“Can you show us?”

… uh.

Lisa, taking the initiative, nods violently. “Of course we can show you! We can even fire off a shell for you if you’d like!” She looks over at you, “Right Boss?”

After a second of hesitation, you nod as violently as she did. “Yeah yeah!”

Which tank do you demonstrate?

> M4 Sherman
> SOMUA S35
> KV-1S

>>28057427
>KV-1S

Our most awesome tank.
