Now that the Brassholes have turned you loose, yourKANT-O-CELKANT-O-CELLE QUEST: BOLLIO BADMINTONLE QUEST: BOLLIO BADMINTON first priority is Naka. You'd hoped to delay this for a bit - give her some space, some room to let the morning-after humiliation of spilling her guts while drunk wear off. You remember how mad you were when you said a little more than you'd intended to when Goto got you buzzed in his office; how humiliated and exposed you'd felt. You can't begin to imagine what Naka felt like as she sat up in bed this morning and hit her head on the hangover.

But -

- she was right.

The lie you told to Thomas turns over and over in your mind - the delphinium flare in Shigure's eyes as she struck; the signature of an abyssal's gaze. You'd denied it to his face - treason, some might call an omission of that magnitude *treason.*

But after what you saw in the cell block - the young Marine who risked his very life to save her just because he was the only one that could - you couldn't bring yourself to utter it. After Shigure's violent and final demonstration of the futility of containing a rogue shipgirl, future responses will go straight to killing.

You think of Naka's guilty face, voice thick with tears as she tells you about leaving a part of herself on the other side of the veil. An icy spider crawls down your spine and nests in your gut.

You won't allow it. There's a lot of things you can't affect, but this isn't one of them.

The dorms are quiet when you reach them, aside from the faint strains of music floating through Harder's door when you walk by. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mYBSayCsH0

Naka's room is completely silent. Hesitantly, you knock.

“Come on in!” comes the bright reply.

You open the door timidly. The hall light spreads over the bare hardwood floor and unadorned walls, lighting the lingering gloom cast by shuttered blinds. The light keeps rolling over the bare chamber till it spreads across Naka's followed a moment later by a smile so big her eyes wink shut as she flashes it, flipping you a crisp finger-V to boot. “Hello, Admiral~”

Naka's sitting in the middle of an almost empty room. The government-supplied furniture is there - a bed and a cheap nightstand - but everything else seems absent. There's no lamp on the nightstand; the bed has been stripped of its linens (which are stuffed haphazardly in a hamper by the closet) and that's about it. You see some vertical bars on the left that are slotted to hold shelves, but the planks are missing.

Planefag is wrong
>>
Your secretary is sitting on the hard floor underneath the shuttered window, knees pulled up to her chest. She's wearing some cut-off jeans, a loose t-shirt that says “MEGADEUS” on it and flip-flops. She'd almost look casual if not for the hairbuns; still neat and tightly coiled as always; too perfect for a product of casual effort.

“Hi,” you say lamely, stepping inside and closing the door behind you. With the gloom returned you reach for the light switch, but it just clicks forlornly, no answering hum of fixtures to reply.

“Aahaha, I got a little carried away cleaning and broke the light,” Naka says. “Still my old clumsy self, I guess. The janitor said he'd be by to replace it, but till then -” she reaches up and twists the blind-rod to let the summer sun stream into the room- “it's a sunny day outside!”

The slanting sunrays sparkle in minute particles on the floor - like little crumbs of glass, they seem like. Naka notices your noticing and giggles a little harder. “Ahaha, yeah, I didn't have a broom, so I had to put on shoes, see?” She lifts her foot and shakes her dangling flipflop a bit. When she sizes up your expression she smiles again, tilting her head and winking as if she's playing at flirtation - but it looks like a stained glass window after a rock's gone through it; empty and false.

An awful dread is creeping over you with sure certainty, your breakfast curdling into a cold lump in your stomach.

Something has gone very, very wrong.

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

“You enjoy titillation torturing Harder way too much to pass as a monk, Naka,” you say, glancing pointedly around the bare room. “What's going on?”

Naka's bright smile fades - but she keeps a pleasant expression plastered on her face as she hugs her knees to herself. “I just felt like simplifying things a bit, that's all.”

You frown, managing to loom disapprovingly at her from the middle of the room. “Simplify?” You're watching her face carefully, searching desperately for some hint of emotion, some flicker of warmth in those glassy eyes, a hint of the Naka, not this damnable doll-face Naka-Chan they stamp on the concert flyers.

“It's hard to focus in a cluttered room, Admiral,” Naka lilts as she wags a finger at you. “And I have that big concert coming up soon, so I need to practice my best. And the less stuff in a room the better the echoes are so-” she shrugs. “I just cleaned house a bit!”

No warmth - but some color. At the corner of her mouth. The bare boards creak forlornly underfoot as you limp closer. Naka cinches her arms a little tighter and turns her head to look at you sidelong, pursing her lips coquettishly. “Admiral Settle, you're so forward-”

The tip of your cane sweeps out and pushes her chin to face you square. She bats it away violently, knocking it from your hand - but you're already turning the blind-rod to cast light downward, towards the little niche of shadow created by their prior angle. Naka's smile has fallen off her face completely now.

In the light, there's no mistaking it - the redness on Naka's cheek, the one she turned away from you every time she did a cute head-tilt with her smiles. This close you can even see a spot of blood at the corner of her mouth.

“Naka,” you say, voice low and hot. “Who hit you?”

Naka brushes her bangs back for something to do as she fixes her eyes on the door. “Arizona-san had a few words with me earlier.”

You hiss involuntarily as the pressure in your skull skyrockets. “She was angry at me, Naka, not you.”

“Oh, I think she was angry at me,” Naka says, a melancholy undertone poisoning her lyrical lilt.

“No, I hared off again without calling ahead-”

“Which you might've remembered if someone hadn't pressured you into drinking,” Naka adds mercilessly.

“Naka-”

“Settle,” she says, voice suddenly brittle. “Please. Please stop.”

I...

Kongou, sweet thing, DESS/10 doesn't WORK. You can't quantify anything, let alone attractiveness, with the division of a word. It's the equivalent of taking the square root of a colour, and defaults to nothing.

That means that if you WERE DESS/10, which you aren't, your attractiveness would be literally nonexistent.

And don't worry; your teitoku won't be stolen away by any harpy unless she literally has him at gunpoint, and he certianly wouldn't be ATTRACTED to her in that situation.

...Hold up a second.
Parker noticed that Abyssals sound like death, whereas ships sound like life.
Shigure flickered Abyssal, but only for the moment when she resolved to end her own life
I wonder how this might interact with Naka's persona when she finally resolves to end it all

Considering Naka's state AND that Arizona is a battleship, do you REALLY believe that there was anything resembling a fight between them?

I highly doubt so.

>>43603125
Your court martial the officers when ships collide, not the ships themselves. Pretty sure Settle could be roundly criticized for basically dismissing Arizona and then not following up. Part ship, part girl remember ... did he seriously think she would sit patiently in 'dock' waiting for him to show up. I think Arizona has had enough sitting around regretting past choices -- I'm surprised she didn't go off sooner...
>>
>>43603125
>court martial angry boat women

Are you real? Are you even reading this quest?

Every time we've tried to assert authority over shipgirls in some fashion outside of combat, it has gone BEYOND poorly.

We threw the Star at Kaga's face, and she almost killed us. We INSISTED on getting in Shigure's face, pretending our rank and our experiences could "get through" to her, and she almost killed us TWICE.

Ultimately, what happened in both of those cases, was that they RESOLVED THE ISSUE THEMSELVES. Kaga turned herself in to Goto, knowing that in the heat of the moment she almost committed the worst possible crime at the worst possible time. Shigure wasn't even SAVED BY US, she was saved by a Marine risking his life for her, denying her the chance to kill herself and ONLY herself (as she desired).
>>
>>43603156

On the contrary, she was in the situation because she wasn't allowed to guard Settle's body. If she was allowed to bodyguard, this wouldn't have happened.

That's like saying an orange tree isn't good at producing fruit because look, all there is is this rotten fruit on the ground, having fallen from the limbs because the gardeners an insensitive asshat.
>>
>>43603125
I can definitely see our orange little ball of PLEASE FUCK ME UP BECAUSE I AM WORTHLESS fighting back when Ari beats her over something Naka already blames herself for.
>>
>>43603156
>Arizona isn't objective enough to be an effective bodyguard.
You can complain to Admiral Thomas if you want, but it was still a lawful order that he gave.

And where the fuck is Hampton? We've already walked from the admin building to the dorms without our bodyguard (unless I missed it in one of the posts), even after we were given explicit instructions to have one with us and to phone base security if one of the ships wasn't available.

More like someone in love with Settle, out of her mind because he persistently puts himself a hairsbreadth away from death, and constantly avoids any sort of defensive measure, or any sort of emotional or physical delegation as far as his health is concerned.

Lady's under stress, and just came very close to losing Settle, and in this case, Naka was left holding the ball, for a given value of holding. Particularly after Settle promised that he'd take precautions.
>>
>>43603241
Yeah, but having him burst through the floor with tanks fully blown and fairies scrambling to man the shears and the five-incher is just too epic to skip!
>>
>>43603125

You're reaching for conclusions that literally have no basis in anything thats been shown in thread. The Naka time write ups show she won't fight back no matter what already.

>>43603176

What the hell does that have anything to do with hitting Naka? Just because she was angry at Settle she gets to be physically violent with another person?

I get liking Arizona but come on, in this occasion how can anyone not see she is in the wrong. If you tried reaching any farther in justifying their actions, you'll have turned into the Japanese government

You stop. Back away to give her room; let her shutter the blinds again, plunging the room into gloom once more before curling up in a little defensive ball.

“What you said last night, about having one foot in the abyss-”

She tenses-

“-you were right.”

- and her painted smile jitters right off her face, though she still won't meet your eyes. “What brought you around?”

“I saw it in Shigure's eyes two hours ago.”

Naka looks up, the anguish in her dark eyes piercing you through. “Did she-”

You shake your head. “Safe. Alive.”

Naka slumps again - but not too much; still supporting that thin lacquer of idolhol, for all the good it does her. “Oh.”

“I just got my ass chewed by God for rather poor judgment last night-” you hold up a palm to silence any objections “-and if he knew the details of how I tried to handle Shigure the first time around he'd probably have a Marine chained to my ankle as we speak. I learned my lesson about this crap.”

“That one pillar can't support a palace?”

You shake your head. “I can't fix you, Naka.”
>>
>>43603270

We don't know the circumstances of her fight with Naka. Which bears some patience, particularly considering Naka's current state.

Particularly considering 'hitting' might have consisted of no more than an angry slap at worse.
>>
>>43603156
>objectively a 30,000 ton metal box covered in guns
>unsuitable as a bodyguard
>>
Even the shade can't hide Naka's blanch, nor the awful shiver that runs through her.

“A good leader knows how to inspire people. He knows how to make them think he can carry any burden and solve any problem, and he can turn that around when needed to make any one soldier think that his general, his general he worships like God Almighty, believes just as strongly in *him*.” You take off your khaki cap and slap it against your palm.

You sigh.

“I could do that on my own bridge, my own ship. Or at least I thought so. But here...” you shake your head. You turn the cap to look at the emblem on the front, rubbing your thumb over it thoughtfully. “I heard that Sendai's been crying a lot in the bathroom.”

Naka crumples under that revelation like it was (another) physical blow.

“I'm betting Jintsuu noticed too.”

She shrivels, grabbing her hair and pulling her face down behind her knees. “Stop.”

“Harder told me about your date. Tried to act real cool, even when he boasted how he got you to agree to a second one.”

“Bastard,” Naka spits at you as she begins to sniffle. “BASTARD.”
>>
>>43603156
To be brought up later with Thomas.

>>43603165
... So, because she's a ship, we should blame the commander for her mistakes.

But because she's a girl, she acts on her own.

I know there are grey areas considering ship girls, but please consider them responsible for their acts.

>>43603207
I think Naka is beyond the "I want someone to hurt me" period.

Now she's in the "I just want it to end" period. She no longer cares.

>>43603261
Except she did slap Settle, too.

>>43603265
... Except Naka was in no way responsible for Settle taking a decision to walk back alone.

You slap your cap against your thigh. “Yeah. I am. I play at being all supportive and kind, but in the end I'm just a roughneck son of a bitch. You have to be if you're going to corral sailors. Even Annapolis is a lot of meanness with nice trim around the windows and world-class landscaping contractors. So I guess I don't have to feel guilty about telling you this straight, because it's the only kind of talking I'm good at. I wanted to believe we could fix you, Naka-”

- she's starting to shake now, silent sobs racking her slender frame -

“-to believe that I could just pep you up with some atta-boys and paeans to your virtue. But that was always bullshit. Wishful fucking thinking.”

You pull your cap on and tug the brim to seat it properly.

“But that's War, kid.You don't want it to come down to high risk for high stakes, but that's tough shit, isn't it? That's what I'm trained for, War. Taught to sidestep it, encouraged to avoid it, but drilled and trained and conditioned relentlessly to *fight* it.” You lean forward, hands on your knees to try and peer under Naka's bangs. “Naka. Look at me.” Her head moves slightly; just enough to glance up from beneath her brows; but her dark dangling locks shade her eyes from view. For a half-second you imagine seeing cerulean sparks igniting in that darkness - but you roll over it, because you expected as much, and it doesn't change a damn thing.

She blinks, half-stunned, half confused. Later, when she hears of Shigure, it might sink in - but if it doesn't, you don't give a damn. This is what Naka gets - notice of hostilities. Notice, and nothing more - a formality set-dressing for all ensuing action.

You wince, evaluating your options for a long, quiet second. Alongside Settle, he was the first to see you drop the act. He was definitely the first to see you cry. You can't lie to him. "Of course you did, Wainwright."

He looks up. "Really? I wasn't just wasting your time?"

"I was wasting yours." You give him an apologetic, tired smile--less waxy and sunny, more hopeless and strained. "The music, talking to you, the fucking hairbun thing, all of it--it was nice. I hope you don't think I didn't appreciate it. For a while, I was... reveling in it."

He closes his eyes with a scowl, some of the heat returning to the man's voice. "You've got a funny way of showing it, you know that?"

"I know. I know." You suck air through your teeth. "But that's the problem, Wainwright. I fucked up. I fucked up badly."

"You don't seriously think this shit with Settle is your--"

"It IS my fault," you snarl, matching and redoubling his intensity in an eyeblink. Like a wounded animal. "It was the only thing--the ONLY THING--I was picked for. Everything else... could have been anyone else."

Slowly, almost reluctantly, you take a step back from the wall and unpin the poor bastard. He sets his box down at his feet and begins to turn the discs over listlessly, with a slow, steady clack-clack-clack of plastic cases.

"...It's not that I want to," you continue lamely. Like you're defending yourself, now. "I let things slip, and this is what happened.That's just how it is." You turn away as he continues to flip through the scattered collection in the battered old cardboard box.

Slap or punch, she should know better than to do that. Part of the appeal of her being bodyguard is everyone was talking about how she was level-headed, where the fuck has that gone? Is she so compromised by her anger with Settle she'll take it out on the first person who she sees?

Besides, slapping or hitting - the difference is purely academic. Literally any other person, and they'd be buried in trouble so fast their heads wouldn't stop spinning till after they get tossed into the brig.

Nobody's blaming Naka you dense moron.
What -is- being pointed out is that Arizona's dealing with a whole grab bag of stuff, that Settle's played a signifcant role in. Yes, she's still responsible for her own actions, but it's petty not to see the context in which they've occured, and other actors, mostly Settle, but including Naka, role in it all.

Silence reigns. "...Do you understand?" you finally ask, unable to bear it.

No response.

You turn back to find something held in his outstretched hand.

"It's a CD player," he says. "Grew up with it, still works. Take it."

"I..." you sigh, unable to bring yourself to finish, and gingerly take the scuffed old thing. Cheap Chinese plastic with chipped silver paint scratched away, and a pair of equally abused earbuds dangling in a tangled heap. You push the eject button, the decal worn clean. "There's a CD in--"

"Yeah, it's for you. A copy of that first tape you found. I burned it and ran it off special, just for you. Sound decay and all. Take it," he repeats.

...You take it.

Hefting the box, Wain gives you a tired grin to mirror your own. "Thanks."

You tuck the device into your pocket as Wain collects a few stray discs from where they fell. "You know, it's funny. I never got your name."

"Wainwright," he replies.

"Yes, thank you--"

"No, no. Wayne. Wright."

-----

Your door opens.

You look up from the cleaning, the last of the broken glass and wood swept into the pan. "Who is i--Jintsuu? What are you--"

Jintsuu crosses the room in three decisive steps and slaps you across the face.

You actually stumble, eyes burning with tears at the sudden, completely unexpected blow. The dustpan cartwheels, sending glittering glass shards and splintered wood back across the floor as it sails across the room. "J-Jintsuu?!"

"The only reason that wasn't a fist," she seethes, scowling at you through red-rimmed eyes, "is because I know Sendai worked you over already."

"I--Jintsuu, what did--" you can't stop the betrayal, the HURT from leaking through your teeth, pooling over your mask. "What was that for?!"

She slaps you again. Harder. Your cheek STINGS with the double-blow, even as she winds up for another.

"What was that for? What was that FOR?!" Tears spring in Jintsuu's eyes--again, as she strikes you across the face--again. "It's for pushing me away! Again!" Another hit, this one more wrist than hand, cracking across your jaw and sending you reeling. "LIKE YOU DO!"

Slap.

"EVERY!"

"FUCKING!"

Slap.

SO, BETS ON WHO GOES ABYSSAL FIRST, NAKA OR ARIZONA?

ODDS ARE CURRENTLY 60:40 IN FAVOR OF NAKA.
>>
>>43603390
>>Slap her the fuck back.
>>
>>43603288
What do you have against heavy object?
>>
>>43603312
>We had words
>Smacked hard enough to draw blood

wat?

Even if Naka did hit Arizona back (there's almost no chance she would throw the first hit), that doesn't mean Arizonas excused from hitting her.

But you have a point in that we need to wait and see. However she needs to apologize for hitting Naka.
>>
>>43603390
>Slap her the fuck back.
take this! my love, my anger, and ALL OF MY SORROW!
>>
>>43603390
>>Slap her the fuck back.

After the screaming, the fighting. comes the hugging, the crying.

No acts, just pain.
>>
>>43603397
Anger is never a permanently sustainable emotion. Its a symptom of other emotions and desires, being displayed out of frustration. So what is Naka really trying to say.
>>
So basically all the shoukakufags were reeeee-ing about Arizona just now, and it turns out that Jintsuu was responsible for beating the shit out of Naka anyway.
>>
>>43603427
Put me down for 20 big ones on Arizona.

I like me an underdog.
>>
>>43603370
>where the fuck has that gone?
Considering what she's been through, a bad day isn't remotely unexpected. In case you haven't noticed, most of the shipgirls are carrying a lot of that around. And Arizona -has- kept it together for the most part.
>first person that she sees
Except that very clearly wasn't the case. Naka wasn't just the first person she saw. Or Settle.
>buried in trouble
1, this is a quest, weird shit happens. 2, this is shipgirls, in wartime, in very strained conditions. We're not going to execute Hate's dogs, and Arizona's not getting brigged.
>>
>>43603374
Really?

>>43603275
>It helps that Naka actually was to blame
>>
>>43603427
I bet on Arizona.
>>
>>43603439
Hey! Not all of us have that opinion.
>>
>>43603427
Honestly im waiting for pretty much all of the ships under our command to go abyssal. Then High Command is going to have to kill them all.
>>
>>43603329
So is this a good thing? Settle giving up?
>>
>>43603434
Unless it was a case of "I want you to hit me as hard as you can" and then we find out all of this was Naka's Evil Plan to dupe Settle into making her go Abyssal so she wouldn't have to commit suicide or something.
>>
Wait, are we still in front of Wainwright?
If so, is it really such a good idea to start a cat fight?
>>
>>43603439
Jintsuu is currently beating the fuck out of Naka. When Settle visited her, only one cheek was worked over.
>>
>>43603439
Waifufags are fucking poison. And will continue to be poison.

Seriously Planefag why do you indulge them? The tears arent worth it.
>>
>>43603439
... So, Naka saying "Arizona and I had words" in regards to the bruise and blood... is unclear as to the cause of said bruise and blood?
>>
>>43603390
>Slap her the fuck back.
>>
>>43603422

They don't point towards Naka being responsible, they point towards taking Arizona's outburst in stride, as a result of a heap of stuff. Aside from that, Naka has had a role in all this, and needs to be a component in any deliberations.
>>
>>43603390
>Slap her the fuck back.
>>
>>43603457
This is back in Naka's room.
As evidenced by her cleaning up the mess she made.
>>
>>43603408
>>43603397
If Naka breaks and goes Abyssal, you can't be sure that there will be anything left for her to come back to. She's been wanting to be whole with her Abyssal part of her soul; if she becomes whole on the other side, why will she cross over again?
>>
>>43603471
Ah, OK.
>>
>>43603438

I know. but the im sorry option? reeks oh what was said to sendai during the fight. Unfeeling and all that. This here at least shows some real emotion. Let the mask break completely.
>>
>>43603427
Hey, Merc. Do you have your own quest featuring those girls? (i.e. the ones in the pic.)
>>
>>43603469
See
>>43603445

I think they clearly do blame Naka directly.
>>
>>43603463
Naka-chan is really good at lying, remember
>>
>>43603434
Her exact phrase was “Arizona-san had a few words with me earlier.” Which tells us nothing.

Arizona definitely needs to apologize, and depending on the circumstances Naka may need to as well. We need to talk to Ari, immediately.
>>
>>43603390
>>I'm sorry, Jintsuu.
>>
>>43603479
Yeah, he runs on friday, that's why he keeps posting them
>>
>>43603479
only ship shared between the quests is Sammy, and Merc's more a plotter/mastermind than Planefag's is.

his KCQ however has far less tear milking (outside the dice parts anyways)
>>
>>43603390
>>Slap her the fuck back.
>(I CAN'T WAKE UP)
>>
>Planefag is on the edge of his seat waiting for the massive shitshow that will start once people make the connection that shipsluts going abyssal might mean abyssals can go shipslut

Imfuckingplying we aren't going to white knight the shit out of Hate's live capture.
>>
>>43603477
Oh I wasn't commenting for or against an option. Just putting out my thoughts on that one. The thing about anger in this case is that least its a display of an emotion period, rather than none. I'd take super mega bitch Naka over no Naka. If that is what her not mask is, or something completely different too.
>>
>>43603473

Harder. And everyone else who loves her.
>>
>>43603390
>>Slap her the fuck back.
>>
>>43603453
>settle literally declares war
>"Settle giving up?"

if I could choke you right now

I would pop your head off and play with it like a hacky-sack
>>
>>43603498

Implying they'd have a fucking chance.
>>
>>43603463
>>43603481
Why the fuck would Naka pass the blame from her sister unto Arizona? Not to mention that if this happened before Settle's meeting, than there would be a lot more damage is Jintsuu's constant slaps are any indication.

use your brain, morans
>>
>>43603498
HOPPO WHEN
>>
>>43603479
Yep! I run it on Fridays around 7pm PST.
>>
>>43603390
>>I'm sorry, Jintsuu.
>>
>>43603498
That was, uh, literally the point of Naka's drunken confession
>>
>>43603498
I dont really give a shit. Oh noes we can waifu Hoppo or WO or what the fuck ever.

Seriously that is ALL that is. Our girls going fucking insane and killing people is a BAD thing. I dont give a fuck about the ones already trying that.
>>
>>43603512
Will characters actually die if we are stupid or are you going to low ball it.

Hey folks, got some new writing from a new writer tonight! I'm posting it in their place as they aren't able to at the moment. Without further ado, here is Fighting Lady, written by Rin.

----------

“Huh. That’s odd.”

Dan Flint, the harbor master of the Port of Charleston looked up from his monitor at the young man who’d just spoken. “What’s odd?”

The brown-haired man spun his chair around to face his boss. “That tanker we’ve been tracking? She’s still not squawking, Dan.”

The older man scowled. “She’s well within our envelope, Chekov, that makes no sense. Do you have imagery?”

Chekov spun back around, and his hands danced across the keyboard. “Yeah, one of the drones has a feed. She’s Brazilian, the Minuano.”

The harbormaster consulted his computer. “She’s not on the list of arrivals, what’s she doing here?”

“No idea.” Chekov’s fingers continued their dance. “She was apparently bound for New York.”
Flint’s scowl darkened. A few years ago, this would be a relatively minor concern. Now, though…

“She’s not responding to us, hasn’t contacted us, and is in entirely the wrong goddamn place.” Flint stood, circling around his desk to look over Chekov’s shoulder. “Get Joint Base on the horn. Something screwy’s going on here.”

-

The Captain of USCGC Hamilton stood, watching the feed from a drone orbiting the wayward tanker that was less than half a mile off to starboard, as his cutter paralleled its course. “Anything yet, Blake?”

His XO, Emily Blake, shook her head. “Nothing, Skipper. She’s still just tickin’ along. Our boys’ll be ready to board in the next 30 seconds.”

The captain nodded. “Still no signs of life?”

“Negative. She’s silent as the grave.” She looked off towards the ship, silhouetted against the sun’s dying light. “Gives me the heebie-jeebies, Dick.”
>>
>>43603505
Some times I wonder why quests have such a high turn over. Then I read that.
>>
>>43603505
So I'm guessing Settle's first order of business after leaving is to hit up Harder, Jintsuu, and Sendai to let them know what's up?
>>
>>43603514
>That was, uh, literally the point of Naka's drunken confession
This.
>>
>>43603505
Declares war against what? Bullshit?
>>
>>43603498

I expect and hope for this to happen.

http://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/1793706?tags=mannequin
>>
More Deutschland when?
>>
>>43603508
Yeah, she's making a point just to slap to avoid really hurting her.
>>
>>43603517
I guess we'll find out, won't we? But yes, in some situations certain choices can lead to deaths!
>>
The question is, is planefag a multibillionare off the salt he's sold from these threads yet?
>>
>>43603526

Against her Marty bullshit.
>>
>>43603519
“Captain Palmer,” the captain said off-handedly, still engrossed in the drone’s feed. “And yeah, I feel a little off, too.” He blew out a breath. “Bear the 57 on her. Just for fun. She’s ignored our hails, we’re well within our rights.”

Seconds later, the cutter’s 57mm gun swivelled to bear on the Minuano, just as Hamilton’s boarding party came over the side. The radio crackled to life. “We’re aboard, Cap. Nobody home.”

Palmer scowled. “Arright, clear to the bridge. By the book, gentlemen. That means you, Torrez.”

A bark of laughter. “Thanks for the reminder, Dad, here I was just about to pull out mah four-tay five an’ go git these here varmints mahself.”

Palmer bit back a smile. “You know, that’s why you’re never gonna make Senior, Torrez.”

“You mean keep it longer than a week, right?”

“Right, that too.”

There was a moment’s pause. “Right, we’re outside the bridge. Requesting permission to enter.”

“Granted. I want to know what the hell’s going on here.”

Blake blinked at her screen. “Skipper, she’s accelerating.” Palmer’s head whipped around to stare at the plot.

“Hey, Cap, the bridge is fuckin’ empty. There’s nobody he - hey, you! Hands on your head, step into the li-” A wet crunch came through the radio, and then gunfire erupted on Minuano’s bridge.

“Torrez? Torrez, goddammit, what’s happening? TORREZ!” A moment later, Palmer dropped the dead radio. “That’s hostile intent confirmed. Blake, I want this bitch sunk yesterday.” The last flashes of gunfire died on the ghost ship’s bridge, and Hamilton’s bow lit up as the 57mm gun went to work. Palmer went back to studying the drone’s feed, watching the shells slam into the big tanker’s side. He suppressed a shudder. Whatever it was that got Torrez, he wanted it-
>>
>>43603526
Slowpoke grade osmium, I'm impressed.
>>
>>43603519
Oh boy
>>
>>43603535
nah, he's got debnts to pay
he's just paying off the minimums right now
>>
>>43603481
... That's your counter-argument?

>>43603482
It tells us who did it. It also indicates that the discussion was mostly one-sided.

In fact, considering available evidence, I'd say it consisted of Arizona storming in, slapping Naka hard enough to draw blood, giving her a wrathful look and storming out.

>>43603508
I'm in agreement with you. I just can't believe the other guys' points.

>>43603538
Martyr bullshit, you mean.

Not sure where Marty comes in, otherwise.
>>
>>43603520
>Some times I wonder why quests have such a high turn over. Then I read that.

I've written multi-page story updates and orchestrated major plot points that take multiple threads to resolve for the sole purpose of making huge, elaborate fuck-yous to voters pushing particularly annoying write-ins.

What I'm saying is, if that scares you off, you're a pussy.
>>
>>43603539
“Cap, I think we have another problem.” Palmer turned away again to see Blake fiddling with her terminal. “All the instruments just went screwy.”

He turned back to the drone feed, just in time to see it fuzz over with static. “What in -”

A brilliant flash illuminated Minuano’s deck, and Palmer lost his footing and crashed to the deck as something slammed into Hamilton’s stern with a sound like a thunderclap. The whole ship jerked hard, and the vibrations from her engines died a sudden, terrifying death.

“What in the flying fuck-” The captain levered himself upright, bracing against a terminal as his head swam. “Blake, what the fuck hit us?”

“I don’t know, Skipper, there’s nothing else out...here…” The Lieutenant trailed off, before visibly biting back a surge of panic. “Skipper, two sonar contacts off Minuano’s starboard! They’re fucking HU-” Another awful blow rocked the cutter, and when Palmer regained his feet, he could see the twisted ruin that had once been his bow gun.

“Coming out from behind her now, goddamn they’re fast - “ Blake had somehow kept her seat, eyes glued to the screen. Palmer spun to stare at the tanker, just in time to see two shapes drop over her side. “Oh god, two more contacts, our side. What is even going on, Skipper? ...Skipper?”

Palmer stood transfixed, as day turned, for an instant, black as night. An instant later, he wished it had stayed that way, as two vicious-looking, gnarled, low-slung shapes appeared between Hamilton and the dying tanker. An icy calm descended over him and, in a near-trance, he reached for the radio, ignoring his screaming XO. “Joint base, this is Hamilton. Abyssal forces sighted outside Charleston. We are engag-”

An 8-inch high-explosive round, the third fired, slammed into Hamilton’s bridge.
>>
>>43603532
if Hoel dies, do we get the option to sign the dark pact and resurrect as an abyssal?
>>
>>43603540
Thought it was something deeper. And yes, pun intended.
>>
>>43603546
What kinds of write-ins do you find particularly annoying? Waifufagging is one of them, I know.
>>
>>43603548
>inb4 we brainwash a sister ship to be our replacement. It's Willie Dee.
>>
>>43603505
More like a football, my head is huge.

Though to be fair I didn't know it was Settle declaring war, my bad.
>>
>>43603547
More soon followed, and within minutes the crippled cutter slipped below the waves. More dark shapes dropped from Minuano’s deck and into the sea, swiftly outpacing the dying behemoth and taking up formation, centering on one ship in particular. As one, the newly-formed battlegroup turned into the wind.

-

“We have to wake her up.” The Lieutenant was leaning over her Commander’s desk, looking him dead in the eye in flagrant disregard for protocol.

Commander Jeff Munson leaned back in his chair, running a hand through short-cropped salt-and-pepper hair. “We just can’t, Donna. You know as well as I do what the Joint Chiefs said, we can’t-”

“Then fuck the Joint Chiefs, fuck Washington, and respectfully fuck you Sir, Charleston is going to burn-”

“You. Are. Out. Of. Line, Lieutenant Scheidt.” The chill in Munson’s voice blew right past Arctic and was headed for deep space. “What you are suggesting borders on mutiny. You want me to disregard STANDING ORDERS to never, ever, under any circumstances try to summon one of them, in the vague hope that one hull will make a difference?” He took a deep breath, and his voice dropped an octave. “You think I don’t want to do just that? You think I want to sit here on my happy ass and watch these bastards burn my city?”

“Then DO something about it!”

“I…” Munson sighed. “Lieutenant, I just can’t. Those orders are in place for a reason, and I’m sure it’s a good one or they wouldn’t have made such a goddamn huge deal of it. Nobody in the Navy is under any circumstances to attempt a summoning.”

Donna’s jaw worked. “In that case, Sir, I respectfully tender my-"

“BUT. I’m a busy man; I have to stay here and coordinate whatever forces we can scare up. If you were to go AWOL, I probably wouldn’t have time to track you all down for a good long while. Do I make myself clear?”
>>
>>43603547
>Abyssals hiding in larger ships
God fucking shit damn cruise line missions
>>
>>43603546
What i mean is, high turn over in QMs. That fucker doesn't bother fucking reading and comprehending an important story post, then has the gall to ask for it to be spoon fed to him.
>>
>>43603561

you're safe then, I suck at football
>>
>>43603546
Some of the most elaborate, intricate and planned out fuck yous I've seen were made by this man.

He is a vindicative bastard,and Greek, besides.

>>43603568
Yeah, there is definitively reason to lose faith in Humanity at times.

Or at least, faith in the average human being's reading comprehension
>>
>>43603557
Who's to say that we aren't the replacement? Maybe we've been playing as Willie Dee the whole time!
>>
>>43603568
well fuck you too buddy.
>>
>>43603564
Scheidt gave Munson a narrow, calculating look. “Yes, Sir. Yes, I believe you have.”

“Very good. Dismissed. ...oh, and Donna? There’s a red box in the back of my personal vehicle, the keys to which I seem to have just misplaced.” He tossed her a set of keys. “It’d be a real shame if that box were to vanish with an AWOL officer.”

-

After the fifth failed attempt, Lt. Scheidt paused, leaning back against the island beside the emptied red box full of ritual items. “Why? Why won’t you wake up? We need you!” She slid down until she was sitting on the deck, tears starting.

“Yanno, I knew it was a goddamn mistake to let girls into the Navy. How the fuck are the rest of us s’posed to look good when half the officers cry at th’ drop of a fuggin’ hat?”

The man’s voice, bass and rough from years of chain-smoking, snapped Scheidt to her feet, spinning to face the open hatch. A man stood there, leaning against the gray metal. His broad, weathered face was disapproving, arms crossed in the fashion of Senior Chiefs everywhere when they find a misbehaving Ensign. “What’s your business aboard my ship, Butterbar?”

Scheidt collected herself. “Cla-classified.” A beat. “Wait, why are you even here, didn’t you hear the sirens?”

The man shook his head. “Hearing’s not so good, these days. What are you doin’ here, then, hm?” He leaned closer, staring at the deck. “And what th’ fuck did you do to my flight deck?”

“I. Um. C-classified! It’s classified!”

He was positively leering now. “...yer tryin’ to summon th’ ol’ girl, ain’t’cha?”

“Ye- no!”

He snorted. “Well you’re doin’ a fuckup job of it. You think yer gonna just waltz aboard a proud fuckin’ American warship, do some arm-wavy hoo-hah some ching-chong dingalong Jap thought up, and poof, here’s yer ship? WROOOOOOOOONG.”
>>
>>43603546
That shit doesn't scare me. Never fucking has. I do kind wish you would actually kill the Waifufags target ships though. Maybe get a few of them to kill themselves, make humanity just a little less shit.
>>
>>43603517
everything i've seen him run has been warm and fluffy and basically unloseable

you won't ever roll a string of 1s, emerge and leave your flesh behind to start a new quest right there in the middle of the thread, fighting sickass demons in skeleton hell
>>
>>43603569
The original or the american version.
>>
>>43603581
The last word was delivered at bullhorn volume, and the man - wearing a docent’s uniform, Scheidt saw - stumped past her and out onto the deck. “You want a fuckin’ AMERICAN ship, you ask like an AMERICAN fuckin’ sailor.”

“Wai-”

The man spun to face the island, mad light gleaming in his eyes. He cupped his hands around his mouth - “HEY. HEY, WAKE THE FUCK UP YOU RUSTY BUCKET OF SHIT, THEM WATERLOGGED SLUMBITCHES IS ATTACKIN’ YER PORT. WAKE THE FUCK UP OR SOHELPMEGODIMGONNASHOVEMYBOOTSOFARUPYOURMETALASSTHAT-”

He was interrupted midbellow as a parasol cracked him across the back of the head. He spun, winding up for another bellow, before stopping dead.

“That what, Sailor?~” Blonde curls, down past her shoulders,striking blue eyes, and was that a ballgown?

The docent - after that tirade, Scheidt was sure he was a SCPO - recovered quickly. “That this ship’ll wake up and send those fucks-” He waved in the general direction of the harbor’s mouth, and the tiny black shapes moving relentlessly closer “- Back where the sun don’t shine.”

The new girl tilted her head. “Really? Well, then, I suppose I really ought to get to work.” She took two quick steps to the side, and raised her parasol into the wind. Arrows appeared from thin air around her, and seconds later, the scream of jet engines filled the night as USS Yorktown, CV-10, flung her fighters into the sky.

And that's it for "Fighting Lady" tonight! There's a pastebin for it that I will ask the writer about putting up here in a bit. Thanks for sticking around and reading, folks.

>>43603583

Oh, oh that. Well. I'd get saltier about it, but that'd mean believing my writing is good enough that anybody could've discerned the import through careful reading. The problem here being, a writer believing his own writing is good. Kind of a hard block, there.

So I don't do that. But sometimes I do want to shake some poor anon like a minority baby. I usually get over it.

... unless I write a huge multi-page story update just to spite them because their writein was bad and they should feel bad, like I said ab-

the way votes tend to triple in number for any vote that seems like its gonna trip a flag has something to do with it. waifuwars drive quests; the trick is to use it to make players invest in characters. rad bromances are harder to pull off but work even better if you can manage it

>>43603610
>killing his quests

These threads average 100+ unique IPs every night they run. The salt isn't destructive, its a sign of emotional investment. So when PlaneGreek the Fagbutt tells you that his writing is bad and abloo abloo modesty abounds do no harm to other egos, you laugh and laugh and laugh at him, because his writing IS in fact good enough to get a bajillion people wanting to write for his setting, and good enough to get people angry about things on outside forums, YET STILL KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE.
>>
>>43603622

Not true, ive been in MANY quests were the waifu, if there was one, didnt drive the quest at all. It was the actual plot and pregression of characters that did it, at least for me. And i didn't have to deal with a pack of fucking REEEEEEEing fucktards during it either, which was nice.

Of course this was five years ago so maybe im just an ancient fuck.

This. Holy hell, this. That spiteful hate-watching is the sorta shit that TV shows and Presidential campaigns thrive on--God knows how much of that hate-watching forms the life's blood of the myriad quests that have come and gone on this board. Its shit, you know it's shit, but it's addictive shit and your dumb asses keep coming back to see how the shit will get better or worse so you can get angry at it more regardless of whether it gets better or worse.

Enough people on /tg/ come for quests that you can run even a small and tightly focused one and make it fucking GREAT as both an experience AND as a thing to do on whatever nights its run on. Not a thread full of fucking shitposting REEEEEEEEEing faggots whom seek to argue about who's waifu is "a best". Shit some of my favorite quests have been small ones, utterly tiny compared to anything by Gap an Elf. I still loved them and kept following them until the end/the writer moved on (those always make me sad) I miss Void Quest ;_;

Sad part is that this could be truly great if he just took the high road. As it is, he's just fanning the flames, either be it waifufaggotry, cross-site conflict, or anon's morale being erroded away.
>>
>>43603697
what quest have you been reading. We havn't even begun arguing about which flagship a best.
>>
>>43603711
Eh, I'm having fun with this. It's a part of the fun

Nigga what he does literally the opposite by telling people not to sperg out when imageboard autism mixes with messageboard autism

>Anon's morale
This is the only one i really care about. The other two are just a part of 4chan, but if the anons whom actually give a shit about the plot are forced away due to all of this constant DESPAIR! stuff, it will make this quest suffer for it.

>>43603715
Oh shut the fuck up. Go argue about it in the irc or on the Game's website if it matters to you that much.

Iowa, objectively.
She actually has a flag bridge inside of her armored conning tower.

everyone is wrong and MC deserve to die for not knowing its place.

Just shut it too. It's annoying to hear complaints when no waifuarguing is going on.

Go on IRC and try sucking planefags dick.
Maybe then he'll actually listen to you lol.
>>
>>43603782
Meh, every PF quest is like this. I don't know why.
>>
>>43603793
Nah, planefag only accepts offers of historical trivia
>>
>>43603697
>>43603711

Planefag ran YNQ, which was a "small and tightly focused quest" which WAS great as an experience. It also had no waifuing whatsoever (daughteruing, but no waifuing at all,) and on his ask.fm he's called out Void Quest as one of his all time favorites.

So, yeah. He hasn't always stayed in one rut.
>>
>>43603800
Yeah but that's fellatio for him.
>>
>>43603789
Speaking of, anyone else catch the Freudian implications of the particular track we overheard him listening to tonight?
>>
>>43603822
"And I saw her face/Now I'm a believer"?

Yes, we got it.
>>
>>43603805
I aint got any problems with daughteruing stuff, fuck man the original Red Dragon quest was made better by us having a wife and a child. I still wish Write-Guy hadn't abandoned it.

fluff said in the first thread that it's only about 40-60% finished, and hopes to have it ready by the Saturday thread.

>Scream at ship
>Ship awakens
>Meanwhile Japan has to have a whole damn Shinto ritual
>And what about the resources/offerings?

I can't help but feel that America may have it slightly too easy, if this becomes a routine thing. You guys have DOZENS of relics of old ships everywhere, just waiting to be yelled at by someone with a rank.

But I guess it does kind of make sense... Japan has Shinto rituals; England uses patriotic displays of naval tradition; America screams at things. Urgh...

Oh and I was under the impression that the shots/planes had to at least be launched somehow... Or does Yorktown have telekinesis? Christ, she could at least have a rifle in her parasol or something.

Or maybe I'm just picky, grumpy and sleepy. Ignore me...
>>
>>43604854
I for one think its hilarious.
>>
>>43604854

Remember a lot of ships return on their own. Yorktown might well have been quite close to returning in such a fashion anyway. Plus there's the actual ship still there, proudly displayed and fully remembered.
>>
>>43604871
Oh I laughed, that's for sure, but...

Yeah, I guess a bad night's sleep and Naka being... God dammit why can't we make things better... It'd be bad enough dealing with problems spawned in the now, much less 60-70 years of issues on top of that. These aren't tears of rage on my face, Planefag. plz stop despair...

I'm not really in the mood for laughing right now.

>>43604925
True. Still, with the scale and number of summon-able hulls, I'm hoping/betting that as bad as Japan's having it, the Abyssal's main forces are concentrated on America. It only makes sense; the US Navy is the biggest threat floating right now, or in the potential future.
>>
>>43604939

Considering the South China Sea is far more of a nerve cluster for international shipping, and Japan is far, far more vunerable to Naval attack, I'd say Abyssal priorities are still up in the air.

We already know that at least one CBG has taken a pounding over the months.
>>
>>43604939
To be perfectly honest, the despair and the constant attempts to fix the shipgrills is what keeps me coming back. The immense amounts of Character growth in just two weeks of in game time is amazing. (Or at least its character growth from the players perspective.) I whole-heartedly approve of the despair. Waifu-fucks can go jump off a cliff, en-masse if you please.
As for the Abyssal Prioroities, i would honestly think shutting down like 90% of the worlds oil supply in the Persian Gulf would be far more important than the South China Sea.

No Shimakaze this time ? I haz a sad

Wonder what Goto and Thomas had a bet over.

And what movie/person were Settle and Hate talking about at the start?
>>
>>43605358
>Wonder what Goto and Thomas had a bet over
Settle's answer to Thomas's initial inquiry? Maybe whether Settle will act defensive or some shit?

>And what movie/person were Settle and Hate talking about at the start?
Isn't it about something related to the Ender's Game series of books?
>>
>>43604939
Of course, part of what we know about Abyssals now is there penchant for tactical or maybe even strategic planning. If anything, striking the US directly in their current state will only result in a costly war of attrition, something that Abyssal HQ is probably wary about as of late because of the lack of a solid supply line.
>>
>>43605567

The America that won WW2 through fucking industrial might ain't around any fucking more. You know how fucking hard they're scrambling just to find enough guys to fill shifts at the shipyards? A fucking naval electrician makes better than fifty bucks an hour. Don't get me fucking started on the Welders.
>>
>>43605684
Still, LT. That's a lot of ground to cover, literally and figuratively speaking. Who's to say where Murica stands on the Abyssal's laundry list, anyway?
>>
>>43604998
>Beijing has been infiltrated by Abyssal agents at the top level
>Increased tension in the SCS was due to this
It would be funny if this was the case.
>>
>>43605684
I heard Philosophers make more then welders.
>>
>>43605853

Like I'd fucking know. They probably don't anymore, I got a buddy, he's a fucking welder, like, auto body bullshit or some fucking shit like that, picked up with the northrup grumman shipyard, like, fucking 40$ an hour for the first 40 hours, then like 65$ an hour for the next twenty then fucking 80$ an hour for ever hour after 60 in the week. Motherfucker is making BANK. Bitch makes what I make in six months in like, a fucking week.
>>
>>43605882
>>43605853
Y'all know, if we gave Crab enough stuff to keep him satiated for a week or so he might let us in on the ways of their people (the welding guys, I mean).
>>
>>43605882
and why are you not a welder, it's basically the marines without being shot. Depending on what you are welding.
>>
>>43606007
Hate would rather weld under fire, if it comes to that.
>>
>>43605567
>>43605684
That is precisely WHY they'd be striking the USA hard. Unlike Japan in WW2, the Abyss is within operational range of major US ports. If they let the USA get up to steam, modern ships built specifically for fighting the Abyss might start getting turned out - fully modernised armoured cruisers and even battleships! The levelling effect would put battlewagons like that at the very top of the food chain!

So the Abyss is more than likely looking to weaken and draw off US assets, so that they can launch attacks on production and shipbuilding centres. THAT is what's really worrying me, more than their attacks on shipping lanes and civilian centres.
>>
>>43606111
>fully modernised armoured cruisers and even battleships
Unless you're talking about returned shipgirls here, I highly doubt SecDef would authorize the buildup of a gunboat-reliant navy again. If anything, an emergency deployment of Arleighs and Ticos might be in order. Modern destroyers and cruisers are easier to maintain than battlewagons, and are basically jack-of-all-trade units when compared to battlewagons.
