For a second, I thought: wait, what? Then I reread the sentence and knew Trinitite wasn't actually in the office, only her picture on the corkboard
There, in the center of the corkboard, the abyssal's horrified gaze met her own.
lol. lmao. Trin really is built different.but as she tried to zip the dress closed it's zipper caught. After some troubleshooting and a few gentle tugs, the abyssal determined the zipper wasn't the problem: the dress itself wasn't large enough to fit around her chest.
All this is giving me this gut feeling Katie is going to piss Trin off enough for her to remember "oh wait, I am stronger and outmass her by many magnitudes".It would feel better if, instead of some ignorant beat cop, she was causing that fear. No matter how far-fetched the prospect of hunting her down was, the idea of recreating the scene on the corkboard, and becoming known as the woman who'd done so, kept Katie's hopes up.
Bitch.One of those war games, she guessed. In a way, it was a pretty clever place to hide. The types of people who spent money on those overpriced army men would probably be too distracted by the fact a gurl was playing with them to ask any dangerous questions.
Is "haisty" a typo, or is Trin mentally imitating an accent her her heard?If Shannon agreed with Trinitite that it seemed like a… haisty escalation,
I suspect that Leito is more concerned about how "wary" she is, but I doubt that she gets enough sleep...Leito had chosen this spot on the western end of the southern bleachers precisely because it put a good amount of concrete between themselves and the weary eyes of the eldritch abomination.
I suspect that being "battered" is more of a concern, although I suspect that she has played host to some pretty epic barbecue over the years...Finally admitting defeat, Lincoln's captain directed the batter girl closer to shore, where she eventually settled onto a sandbar.
I, uhh, think that "hasty" is spelled differently, but regional variance has surprised me before. I mean, like, I get the impression that "ax" is a thing. It just feel so lacking. What is one going to chop down with a hollow aluminium axe? Regional variances are weird...If Shannon agreed with Trinitite that it seemed like a… haisty escalation, then consequences could come swiftly for Clifton, Alex, and herself!
All shipgirls are. Well, except for the destroyers. I hope. and now I have a creeping sense of doom, but nothing good ever comes from addressing creeping senses of doom concerning the depiction of destroyers.
Trin's openly calling the company a fleet now; Is she slipping up, or is this a regular thing that just gets passed off as another of her quirks?"It's my word against his…" She reminded her coworker. "...and Clifton has been in the fleet longer."
I think she's slipping up because she's grown more comfortable being around Alex.Trin's openly calling the company a fleet now; Is she slipping up, or is this a regular thing that just gets passed off as another of her quirks?
This makes really want Trinitite not to bail on Alex when news on Saratoga come through…"I just couldn't help imagining Alex' face when he realizes he is dating a shipgirl", Paloma replied, between laughs.
Are ships lighter than a small destroyer ever represented as shipgirls in this setting?"It would be rather implausible for the navy to allow a fleet carrier to take a year off", Mitch supposed, "I imagine she's probably something way smaller. She is probably a patrol boatgirl from one of those overrun island states in the Pacific."
Even if you can't summon shipgirls smaller then a destroyer, that doesn't mean that civilians would know that.Are ships lighter than a small destroyer ever represented as shipgirls in this setting?

Abyssal PT boats are represented as swarms of angry toddlers? Otherwise I don't think they get any smaller than destroyer escorts, though some of them are pretty small for a destroyer. I think the bigger question for the Pacific-island-patrolboat theory would be how the summoning happened, since it sounded like everyone who's not Japan was limited in actually establishing summoning sites.Are ships lighter than a small destroyer ever represented as shipgirls in this setting?
That's not even submarines being weird, that's "Re-class, who is an entire carrier group with battleship escort rolled into one psychotic bundle, is an outlier and should not be counted".At least if one ignores submarines, which seem to be generally weird, as exemplified by a possible "technically a submarine" quality to Re-class...
That is entirely true, yes, but still... I checked out some awkward footage from an "arcade" kancolle that seemed to be about the closest thing to an official source for height comparisons, and Re-class seemed... maybe not necessarily lower head-height than battleships and carriers, but I think that she was about the same height, but with her feet comfortably above the water, implying that she is shorter than the ships she comprises. Then there is, well, I am uncertain how tight a Re-class' outfit is, but I would expect that if she and a battleship were to hang out in bars, that the battleship would be subject to more advances, although that would probably be mostly the homicidal death-murder tail... . Of course "subs are boats, and boats are weird, and Re-class submerge" is one explanation. Another explanation is that Re-class is an average of her constituent parts, and smaller vessels are more numerous. And yes, as so sagely proposed, "Re-class is an outright liar and don't got to explain nuffin!" is entirely credible.That's not even submarines being weird, that's "Re-class, who is an entire carrier group with battleship escort rolled into one psychotic bundle, is an outlier and should not be counted".
Yes, at least in actual KC, don't know if they'd be in this story or not. In terms of canon KC designs the smallest displacement wise is Maruyu, at 274 long tons, but she's a bit of a odd duck in that she's supposed to represent her entire class unlike every other shipgirl. In terms of surface ships, the smallest they've gone thus far are various Japanese destroyer escorts, along with the recently added No. 101 Landing Ship. The latter of which would point to other landing ships also being potential shipgirls.Are ships lighter than a small destroyer ever represented as shipgirls in this setting?
look man, Re's are unholy abominations against nautical engineering.which seem to be generally weird, as exemplified by a possible "technically a submarine" quality to Re-class...
Well, there's your answer for what they can assume she is. An entire calss of PTs or other small ships condensed into one that would actually be capable of doings some dents....she's supposed to represent her entire class unlike every other shipgirl.
The Philippine navy had three PT boats and two converted civilian ships of its own. New Zealand had control over its own naval forces before the start of the Pacific stage of the war, and had numerous ships that might be classified as patrol boats instead of minesweepers. Japan, of course, had an entire maritime empire. As far as I can tell, that is the entire extent of Pacific islands with their own navies at any point during World War II; everyone else relied entirely on colonial navies. The Philippines are the only one of those to fall in the dark grey zone."It would be rather implausible for the navy to allow a fleet carrier to take a year off", Mitch supposed, "I imagine she's probably something way smaller. She is probably a patrol boatgirl from one of those overrun island states in the Pacific."
However, the general failure of the colonial navies in the face of first Japanese and then Allied aggression led far more island countries to obtain their own patrol boats after the war. These were frequently surplus Allied minor warships or occasionally Japanese war prizes and thus eligible for shipgirl conversion. Such ships would be substantially larger than a PT boat. As they make up the vast majority of candidates, I assume this is what Mitch meant.
