You are the former United States Navy warship USS HOEL, now returned as a shipgirl and ready to kick Abyssal ass!
Your first night in Yokosuka Base was... pretty hectic. Despite the Captain's best efforts to ensure everything would be nice and orderly, he had made one crucial mistake: allowing the American and Japanese shipgirls to bunk in the same communal dorm building.
Sure, it was more the Admiral's idea, and it wasn't like there weren't any other suitable areas on the base to house you all, but none of those really made the Captain's job easier. Despite the pre-arranged room assignments, there as a LOT of intermingling going on. Slumber parties and whatnot. It was just pure chaos.
This time, you woke up to find yourself...

When you wake up, you get the feeling that you're in completely unfamiliar surroundings. Well, then again, you were on a new base, so it would only be natural that your surroundings would be unfamiliar. But there was something... different about the room you woke up in. Most of the shipgirl dorms, like the rest of the base quarters, were generally designed and decorated in the Western style, considering this was a joint US and Japanese naval base.
However, this particular room had a very... eastern flair to it. Matted floors, wood construction, and even those thin paper sliding doors.
Jesus christ, there was even a fucking open air courtyard complete with a cherry blossom tree and a full on fish pond!
There... there was only one ship you could think of that would warrant such luxury and expense-
You turn over in your bed and face immediately impacts Yamato's impossibly thick bow armor.
"Oh, good morning, Hoel!" Yamato yawns, not even phased at your inadvertent ramming maneuver. Maybe she wasn't fully awake yet?
>This is fine.
>She kidnapped you, didn't she?!?
>Ask her how you got here.

"H-how did I get here?!" You gasp as you reflexively push yourself away from the superbattleship to get some distance.
"Oh, well, when you and the other destroyers got into that impromptu Call of Duty tournament, everybody just sort of lost track of the time." Yamato smiles as she rises out of bed. Even just sitting up at half height, she looked like she towered over you. "And, well, just like that everybody just started falling asleep! We weren't too sure of which rooms you're staying in and there's only so much Tenryuu could handle herself, so I decided to pitch in!"
"So... you kidnapped me." You conclude.
"I guess you could say that!" Yamato giggles and flashes a wry look at you. "But you don't look too bothered about it."
>I... guess not.
>I am MEGA bothered!

In fact, let her poach all of Taffy 3, and we'll all be happy
>>817018
>I... guess not.
>>817018
"I..." You start to protest, but realize that yeah, you don't actually feel distressed or panicked or anything like that. "...guess not."
"See? That means we're already on friendly terms with each other!" Yamato smiles as she ruffles your hair like Iowa or Big E would.
"I guess..." You mumble as you try to crawl out of Yamato's bed and realize that you're having a real hard time of it.
Because you're not wearing your regular clothes.
"W-what the fuck is this?!" You yelp as you practically fall out of bed. You were practically wearing one of those kimono things!
"Oh, those are just traditional Japanese pajamas!" Yamato giggles as she takes off her covers, revealing that she was wearing a similar outfit. "I'm sorry, it was the only sleepwear I had available..."
"Where are my clothes?!" You sputter.
"In the wash. They were in bad shape after that battle you had." Yamato explains. "Now come on, how about we both get cleaned up? There's more than enough room!"

"I suppose..." You mumble.
Like the rest of Yamato's quarters, her bathroom was simply GIGANTIC. Like, she didn't have a tub, it was practically a small pool! And let's not get started on the vanities...
After a quick tooth brushing, you join Yamato in the shower, where she immediately starts fiddling with your hair as she tries to comb and shampoo it.
"My, you're hairs rather tough and knotty." Yamato frowns. "Do you not take care of it regularly?"
"Well, it gets messed up when I get into a battle anyways, so I usually don't really bother." You shrug.
"Now that won't do!" Yamato tuts as she grabs a bottle of conditioner, and you can feel her just slathering it over your hair. "A shipgirl should always make sure she's clean and properly maintained at all times!"

"It's my hull and I'll do what I want with it!" You whine.
"If that's what you say." Yamato nods as she backs off, a bit deflated now.
The rest of the shower is finished in silence, and the two of you step out. You see your uniform on the table, now cleaned, folded, and neatly pressed. Whoever took care of it was a real pro. Yamato, of course, had her own wardrobe to call up on, and you both quickly get dressed.
It's then that you notice that despite all the elegance and opulence of Yamato's quarters, there was a certain... emptiness to them. It seemed just a bit too large for one person, yet it seemed like Yamato was the only inhabitant. The thought crossed her mind for just a moment. Was she lonely? Is that why she took such a liking to you?
Nah, that didn't make any sense. She's basically the star of the JMSDF shipgirl force. How could she be lonely?
Still, the thought nagged at the back of your mind as you pull on your shirt. Yamato somehow finished dressing before you and was expertly forming her signature ponytail.

"Hey, Yamato..." You speak up, finally breaking the silence. "Do you, uh... ever feel lonely or anything?"
"What makes you think that?" Yamato keeps up her smile, but you can tell she's starting to put effort into it now.
"Just, well..." You motion to the whole room. "You got all this space, and there's nothing here."
"Ah, even you could see it." Yamato sighs as she strides over to the her little courtyard. She sits down at the trunk, and pats the little spot beside her, informing you to sit down as well.
You take a seat next to Yamato, your skin starting to absorb the early morning sun as it's filtered through the branches and leaves of the cherry tree. The only sound the trickling water of the koi pond just a few feet away.
"The thing about being the literal symbol of your country..." Yamato sighs, "Is that it requires you to act a certain way in public, and it makes others treat you in very specific ways."
"So... what you're saying is everybody's afraid of becoming your friend." You conclude.
"You Americans really are blunt..." Yamato chuckles. "But yes, I suppose that's the heart of it."
"Well, that's simple to solve!" You grin.
"W-what?" Yamato blinks.
"Ya just gotta let them know you wanna be friends with them!" You explain. "How often do ya go out?"
"Well, only for missions and briefings..." Yamato says.
"What?!" You gasp. "Like, not even to eat?"
"My meals are usually delivered."
"Shopping?!"
"Normally handled by base staff."
"Have you ever been off base?"
"Only on strictly regulated events run by the government."
"Jeeeesus." You groan. "So why were ya getting all cuddly with me?"
"Well..." Yamato bites her lip. "I guess I was figuring that if I could be friends with a former opponent, I could be friends with anyone, right?"

"Ohmygosh you are so adorable." You laugh as it's your turn to pat Yamato on the head. Even when she's sitting down, it's a bit of reach to get up there with your arm. "Well, if you wanted more friends, ya should've just said so!"
"You're not mad?" Yamato blinks.
"Why should I? Ya haven't given me any reason to, other than that whole Leyte Gulf thing, but that's in the past, right?"
"I suppose so." Yamato concedes. "So... what do we do?"
"First step. We get you the HELL outta this room!" You grunt as you stand up, hands on your hips. "If the other girls don't meet ya, how do ya expect to get to know them?"
"But-"
"AND, ya forget about that goddamn 'symbol of Japan' bullcrap you keep spouting about!" You grunt. "No one's keepin' ya in here, as far as I can tell, so you gotta do it yourself!"
"You're right." Yamato nods, slapping her own cheeks to get herself pumped up. "Then where shall we go?"

>>817816
>>>Let's get some breakfast!
Speaking of food, do we still have the snacks that Mulberry made?
>>817816
"Well first things first, lets get some grub!" You grin. "Forget about waiting in this lonely hotel room for your meals to come to you! Go out and take it like the battleship you are!"
"Well, in that case..." Yamato puts on the brightest smile she can, grabs you by the shoulders, and starts pushing out the room and into the hall. "Let's go!"
The shipgirl mess hall in Yokosuka was a far cry from Mulberry's cafe, but the food was serviceable enough. The cooks were even foresighted enough to set up two separate lunchlines. One for the Japanese style breakfasts and the other for the traditional all American breakfasts. You notice the girls from either navies trying the other nations' breakfast, which was kinda cool.
However, the mess hall was still rather empty, with only a sparse few shipgirls. Most likely the graveyard shift patrols just coming back in. It looks like you and Yamato had managed to beat the breakfast crowd. Well, that meant no lines!
You scan the cafeteria line with your eyes. Of course, the American side had all of the usual stuff. Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and assorted other goodies. On the other end, the Japanese side had all this weird stuff like rice, grilled fish, soup, and assorted vegetables. How did people eat that sort of stuff in the morning?!

Well, why be forced to choose between breakfasts when you can take ALL of a breakfasts? You sure as hell expended enough energy yesterday that you need to refill your tanks. So, you go down the whole line and grab two full trays of steaming hot food.
Yamato merely settles for the Japanese breakfast, and eyes you warily as you try to balance two overflowing trays with your two hands.
"Are you sure you didn't take too much?" Yamato frowns. "Usually only the carriers take in this much food..."
"Heh, this is nothing!" You grin.
Now was the time to figure out where to sit. You could go to an empty table and wait for your sisters and Anna to arrive. Then again, you did see one other shipgirl currently in the mess hall, the others having left. She looked to be some sort of light cruiser, who seemed to be brimming with energy despite having just come off a grueling graveyard shift.
Then again, it looked like she was about to leave, so maybe you shouldn't bother her.

You decide to sit down at the lone occupied table, setting down your dual trays while Yamato sits down next to you.
"Hey there! You must be those Americans that arrived yesterday, right?" The light cruiser grins she offers her hand across the table. "The name's Sendai, the best night battler in the Pacific!"
"I'm Hoel." You grin as you shake her hand. It was a pretty strong grip. That was good.
"Whoa, Taffy 3?" Sendai whistles. "And you're with... Yamato?!"
Sendai actually recoils, as if it was a crime to act so casual in front of her. To her credit, Yamato immediately catches this.
"Oh no, it's quite all right!" She assures the light cruiser. "Just act as you normally do, I don't mind!"
"You... you're sure?" Sendai raises an eyebrow warily.
"Absolutely sure!" Yamato nods.
"Huh, well, okay." Sendai sits back down, still slightly intimidated by the super battleship's presence. "Still, kinda rare to see you coming out to hang out with commoners like us."
"Now, we're all shipgirls." Yamato points out. "I never did like the hierarchy our own government placed on us."
"Well, okay, whatever you say." Sendai nods rapidly. And turns back to you. "So, do you like NIGHT BATTLES?"
You kinda get the feeling Sendai likes night battles.
>No opinion.
>I don't really like night fighting.

"Fuck yeah, I love night battles!" You grin as you high five Sendai, like the two of you were on the same wavelength.
"Yeah! You had that look about you!" Sendai laughs. "You should really come along on a night patrol, too, Yamato!"
"Night time isn't exactly the ideal time for battleships to operate..." Yamato laughs nervously.
"Ah, well, nobody's perfect. Um, not implying that you AREN'T, but-"
"Sendai, it's okay." Yamato giggles.
"Yeah, um, I'm just not really used to this, you know?" Sendai laughs awkwardly.
"Hey sis!" Johnston greets you loudly as she drops in with her breakfast. "That was a fucking wild night!"
"Real wild." Heerman nods in agreement as she sits down, next to Johnston, less loudly.
"WHAT?!" Sendai's eyes widen. "Did you all go off onto a night battle without me?!?!"
"Oh, it sure was a night battle~!" Johnston teases.
"AND NOBODY TOLD ME?!" Sendai roars.
"I'll be sure to invite you to the next one~!" Johnston continues to tease.
"Johnston, quit it." Heerman pinches her arm. "You don't want her getting the wrong ideas."
"Awww, but it's-" And then Johnston freezes when she finally realizes who's sitting next to you. Heh, took her long enough. "YOOOOOOUUUUUU!"
"Hello, Johnston!' Yamato greets your sister happily.
"Oh boy, I guess we should have expected this." Heerman shakes her head, not nearly as put off by the sight of one of her old nemeses.
"Hoel, you- and her- and and and-" Johnston's head darts back and forth between you and Yamato. "When the heck did you get to be such good friends?!"
"Last night, actually." Yamato smiles, completely oblivious to the fact that she's now dangerously exposed your figurative flank.
"Hoel!" Johnston frowns with mock anger. "Just what would Anna think if she found out?!"
"Find out what?" Anna asks with a chipper tone as she happily plops down next to you, either not noticing or caring that you're sitting next to the most famous Japanese battleship of all time.

"Whaaaaaaaaat?!?!" Anna squeaks. "H-Hoel! I didn't know you were into larger ships-!"
"I'm sorry, Anna, I'm ruined for marriage. We can never be together ever again." You sigh.

Anna's face goes red as her systems overheat from the stress, and she nearly falls out of your seat if it weren't for your quick reflexes, reaching an arm out and catching Anna before she could hit the ground.
"You okay, Anna?" You ask, your motion to catch her bringing your face extremely close to hers.
"Aaaaaaaaah!" Anna wails as her overheating gets even WORSE. She quickly sits up and starts chugging down the numerous mugs of coffee crammed onto her tray, as if those would somehow cool her down.
"Haha, I like her!" Sendai chortles as she watches Anna practically breathing her coffee in. "Must be another night owl like me!"
"You shouldn't do that, she's already taken~!" Johnston giggles, but then turns to face you. "Yamato didn't REALLY-"
"Nah." You shake your head. "Just a sleepover."
"Jeez Hoel, you're the worst!" Anna whines in between mugs.
"I do it because I love ya, Anna!" You laugh as you pat her on the back.
"You should tone it down." Heerman cautions. "The battleships are here."
And that's when you see Iowa and Nagato striding in, having a hearty chat about... something.
"Oh! YamYam! Hey there!" Iowa waves.
Nagato pauses, apparently genuinely surprised to see Yamato outside of her room, much less in the mess hall.
"Yamato." She nods respectfully. "I didn't expect to see you here."
"Well, I just felt like changing things up." Yamato says innocently. "How are things?"
"Er, going fine." Nagato nods a bit awkwardly, not expecting having to deal with this situation. "In fact, I was just discussing with Iowa here how to handle our battleship rotations now that we have reinforcements. Would you like to join us?"
"Of course!" Yamato's face brightens even more. However, she pauses and glances at you for a second, as if concerned about leaving you behind.
>You're pretty sure Yamato will be fine on her own.
>Maybe you should tag along with her just in case.

Keep an eye on her. Need to make sure she gets a spot in the rotation to allow her a social life.

"Ah, you can go on ahead." You assure Yamato. "I'll be fine."
Well, more accurately, you think it's Yamato that will be fine, but you didn't need to say that out loud. You watch as she heads off with Iowa and Nagato.
"Anyways, I better go to check up on Naka and Jitsuu, so I'll see you all tonight!" Sendai grins as she gets up from her seat.
"W-wait, you're Naka's-" Anna starts, but Sendai is gone like a ninja before she can finish. "Aw nuts!"
"Haha, maybe next time!" Johnston chuckles.
"So Hoel, did you have any plans after breakfast?" Heerman asks.
>Let's go see how Sam is holding up.
>I wanna check in on Portland.
>Just gonna hang out with Anna.

"Mmmmm, I think I'm just gonna hang out with Anna." You shrug.
"Ah, okay." Heerman nods. "Me and Johnston are gonna do some shopping. Maybe grab some snacks. You want anything in particular?"
"Oh oh! Get some boxes of pocky!" Anna suggest, suddenly very excited.
"We'll keep that in mind." Johnston smiles wryly. Did she know something you didn't?
Either way, all of you were pretty much finished with breakfast now. You part ways with your sisters and head out with Anna.
"So, Anna, ya wanna do anything?" You ask her.
"Mhm!" Anna nods quickly as she takes out what looks to be a CD cover. "I wanna get an autograph from Naka-chan!"
"Of course you'd want an autograph from an idol..." You chuckle. "Assuming we even find her."
"W-well from what sendai said, she's at least still on this base!" Anna says.
"Well, I suppose we can go look, but I don't guarantee anything." You shrug.
"It's fine!" Anna smiles brightly.
Might as well get moving...

The two of you wander the base for a while, trying to search for the famous but elusive Naka-chan. However, you find something even more rare and disconcerting.
You see the Captain... hiding. He's hanging back behind a corner, as if trying to avoid notice of someone or something. Oddly enough, the Admiral was there too, but instead of being tense, he seemed rather amused. Endlessly so.
"I thought she was operating from a different base." The Captain grumbles.
"Did she?" The Admiral chuckles. "You didn't hear that she was very recently transferred?"
The Captain then turns to the Admiral, a grim look on his face.
"You didn't."
"I really think you should learn to socialize better with the shipgirls and not stay so distant from them." The Admiral smiles.
"Well, you could have picked a different shipgirl." The Captain shakes his head.
"I gave you plenty of chances, Captain. I even though North Carolina could bring you out of your shell, but it looks like I had to resort to extreme measures."
"I'm sure this is some sort of war crime."
"If you can prove it." The Admiral grins.
"What's going on?" Anna whispers to you in confusion.
"I'm not to sure..." You respond, your interest piqued. What the hell could fluster the normally stoic Captain so much? What the hell did the Admiral just set in motion?
>Ask them what the hell they're talking about.

"Hey, let's just stay behind here." You say to Anna, ducking down in a shadowed alcove overlooking the area. "I kinda want to see what this is about."
"R-really?" Anna blinks.
"Yeah, aren't you curious what can genuinely scare the Captain?"
"A little..." Anna admits.
"Well, let's just stay and watch!" You grin.
"Are you sure this is wise with Sam here?" The Captain narrows his eyes.
"I've taken prepatory measures." The Admiral says. "I think you should be more worried about yourself."
"You do realize I have to get you back for this." The Captain glowers.
"Maybe if you can earn this rank." The Admiral smiles as he taps his rank insignia.
The Captain is about to fire back when an impossibly loud voice echoes across the base in a terrible imitation of English.
"TEI"
"TO"
"KUUUUUUUUUUUU~!"
