...Uum is Arsekaban in the North Sea or the North Atlantic? 'cause people are say that the Irish sea is connected to the North Sea. It's not, the North Sea is between Scottyland and England to the West and Norway to the East. The Irish Sea is between Ireland to the west and England/Scottyland to the East. The Irish Sea directly connects to the English Channel to the south and the North Atlantic in the north. If Arsekabob is in the North Sea then it is no where near Ireland.

I've heard both.

And even if it's in the North Sea, rather than northwest of UK/Ireland, it's still on the continental shelf. Azkaban is still supposed to be close enough to England that a Tsar Bomba level sub-surface event would still wipe out the coast of the UK facing it (combination of the thermal effects, pressure wave, AND the mega-tsunami), and actually would be even worse overall as those same effects would impact anyone on the northern shores of Europe or southwestern Scandinavia. That and you can write-off every single oil platform (that the Abyssals haven't smashed yet) in the North Sea.

If it's to the northwest or just west of the UK/Ireland, expect a casualty count of perhaps a couple hundred thousand deaths from a Tsar Bomba going off below Azkaban.

If it's to the northEAST or just east of UK/Ireland, expect a casualty count of a couple MILLION deaths from a Tsar Bomba going off below Azkaban.

Hence why Plym's bomb is much MUCH more likely to be used by anyone sane. At worse, if it was set to go off at low tide that day, you might see waves coming in that might reach high tide levels, out of the blue. Bad, but 'meh' in comparison.

Still doesn't matter because using that runs the non-trivial risk of starting a tsunami. In some ways the North Sea is much worse because if you do generate a tsunami and the Netherlands are hit....

Good news for Northern Ireland then, bad news for everyone else.

Needless to say, before any kind of nuke is used, they will do a lot of extensive modeling to figure out what the probable consequences are. Not least of which is 'what is the size of the steam explosion when seawater heads back in and hits the well above boiling point crater?' That kind of steam explosion was what did in Krakatoa after all (water intrusion hitting the magma chamber).

That really depends on a number of factors. For one, much of the coast is actually protected by fairly tall sand dunes, rather than much shorter dikes and levees.

It'd still do major damage though, and kill thousands.

This all depends though on how the Netherlands faired during blood week.

Let's not forget though the other options they have. You have a small island with little anti aircraft defenses. Bombing it with heavy bombers for a day or two wouldn't cause to many problems. Also I don't think any of the super heavies (Iowa class, Yamato/mushi, anything with BIG guns) would mind some gunnery practice. Speaking of big guns is Dora or Schwere Gustav still around somewhere? I think I remember them being summoned.

Locational Accuracy IS Important, especially in stories like this that do their best to accurate with both cause and effect. Getting locations wrong can be kinda immersion breaking.

And where you drop an 80 megaton bomb matters.

They were last seen on vacation on Iwa Jima. Easiest way to find them is to find the most hotly contested land battle going on right now.
 
Weasleys' Warship Workshop 4

As Ron, Duke and Jean-Bart headed towards the repair baths, Ron suddenly remembered something and turned to look at his guest.

"I'm not sure if you've heard about her but Summer is a friendly Abyssal Princess we have as a guest. She's currently in the bathhouse or she was last time I checked so please try not to frighten her."

Jean-Bart looked over and down to him, meeting his eyes for a moment before nodding. "I will do so. I've heard of her but had no chance yet to meet a friendly abyssal so I'm sure it will be… enlightening."

"Oh and we also have an Abyssal Battleship Princess in there as well. She's not friendly but Summer demilitarized her and her back is broken so you don't need to worry about her either."

Jean-Bart's eyebrow raised at that as they reached the door, surprise clear on her face.

"A prisoner?"

Duke nodded.

"Yes. We found her in the north with her broken keel and sinking. There have been some disturbing rumors from around there and we needed intel. So we brought her back and Summer assisted in making sure that we didn't need to kill her out of hand."

Jean-Bart nodded again to that, though her face was contemplative.

As they were about to reach the door to the bathhouse, it opened. Out stepped Summer, Acasta pushing a wheelchair and the Battleship Princess in said wheelchair who seemed just a bit out of it.

Summer immediately let out an "eep" in surprise and sidled towards Ron, though she did not cower away like she used to. Acasta seemed unaffected like she normally was, though she stopped the wheelchair immediately and jerked the other abyssal slightly more awake, her eyes tracking over the group.

Ron immediately reached out a hand to Summer, placing it on her arm and she calmed down, though her eyes were locked on Jean-Bart.

"Jean-Bart, this is Summer. Summer, this is Jean-Bart. She's from France and she's asking us for some help with an engineering issue."

Summer's eyes immediately widened and the fear disappeared from them as she looked the French battleship over properly. Jean-Bart did much the same to Summer in turn, having to crane her neck up slightly.

"Hello Summer." Jean-Bart kept her voice as pleasant as she'd had it before, offering her hand to Summer. "I've heard about you."

"H-hello..." Summer took Jean-Bart's hand cautiously for a moment, more of a squeeze than a shake. "Uhm… can… d-do y-you mind…?" Summer glanced to Ron and then back to Jean-Bart.

Ron turned to Jean-Bart, who looked somewhat confused at Summer's reaction.

"Summer is… shy." He said in way of explanation. "Especially around new people. What I think she's asking is if you mind if she joins us." He looked up at Summer, who nodded in thanks. "She likes engineering problems."

Jean-Bart looked back up to Summer and then to Ron again.

"You would be discussing things with her anyway, would you not?"

"More than likely." Ron nodded. "Unless of course for some reason you felt it shouldn't be."

Jean-Bart looked back up to Summer, who at that point looked somewhat like an eager puppy and then sighed and nodded.

"There is no point in hiding it from those who might help you so she may come, yes."

Summer's eyes lit up and her hands clapped together in front of her waist.

Duke looked down to Acasta, who was waiting patiently for all of them.

"Will you be ok without Summer?" She asked the little dark haired destroyer.

"Yes. She's sleepy and the watch says all is good."

A little fairy emerged from the top of the Princess' head and waved for a moment before disappearing back inside with a poof.

"Still, be careful but please continue." Duke smiled to Acasta

Acasta nodded, the dark haired abyssal being carted away with her eyes having only been slightly focused on the group.

Ron gestured his hand forward and Jean-Bart nodded. After allowing her to go first Ron followed, Summer and Duke ducking in behind. A short walk through a currently unused changing room later and they were at the main pool, which was more of a swimming pool sized than the smaller one Summer had been using before. Walking up to the side Ron stopped and turned to Jean-Bart, who was visibly preparing herself for the moment.

"Do you need a minute?" He asked politely. "We don't have to do this now."

"No, we do." Jean-Bart's words were clearly somewhat of a struggle. "I just hate how it feels when I do this."

"Take your time then." Ron started to raise his hand but then stopped, keeping it down by his waist instead of raising it in a friendly pat. He didn't know her that well yet.

Jean-Bart nodded, took a deep breath and then stepped forward.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Jean-Bart really hated summoning her rig. It was the moment when she was reminded of how incomplete she really was. Complete she was a terror of the seas to all but the biggest and best armored ships. Now she was only a step above a lame duck.

She saw out of the corner of her eye as Ronald… Ron's hand started to raise but he set it back down. The thought was appreciated but the discretion more so. Richelieu she could stand but… not anyone else.

She took a deep breath and stepped forward, focusing on herself as she did so. Her rig summoned in its normal sparkle, forming around her before her foot touched the water. She reached out for power and felt it come, then stop suddenly like it always did. She grimaced and then turned, the pool an acceptable substitute for the moment but nothing like where she was supposed to be.

As she turned, she felt Ron's eyes on her like she had at the door. Examining, probing, trying to see what was wrong with her. It didn't take long, as there was a glaring example of just how incomplete she was immediately visible to the most ignorant moron.

"You're missing a turret." Ron sounded surprised, his eyes going to the point on her rig that held the base of the turret and nothing else.

"Oui, an entire half of my firepower simply does not exist." She waited, wanting to see what else he would notice.

"Not very many secondaries or AA guns… I see a few spots for more."

"I have none of my three triple 152mm turrets. Only five dual 90mm AA guns and two double 37mm mountings." A pause as she fought down the shame and continued. "I only have one large rangefinder, one secondary and a single one for navigation. My fire control directors are not my own and my guns are only indifferently connected at best." She snorted. "You can find destroyers with more effective firepower than I have."

Ron nodded, looking her over and then up to her eyes.

"You have propulsion issues too."

That wasn't a question but a statement.

"Yes. I have only half my boilers in working order. Half of my turbines as well and only two of my propellers are mounted." She paused again, another one of her shames coming to the fore. "I can on a good day keep up with Warspite or her sisters. Perhaps."

"Anything else?" Ron took one more look at her rig.

"Nothing major. I occasionally have issues with my one radar but I think it's more that its an old fashioned set and my crew is not used to… ahem. Well there is one thing. I don't have a full crew." Jean-Bart shook her head. "There's not much point in having one when they wouldn't have anything to do."

"Well we'll need to get that fixed too." Ron muttered to himself and then looked back up at Jean-Bart's eyes. "So just a run down, you need me to install and get working properly a full half of your propulsion systems, half your main armament, all your secondary armament and most of your AA guns. Then it all needs to be given a test, fixed into your fire control network, which we also need to rebuild properly and then get you all of your sensors that you should have in the meanwhile. Finally, we need to get you more crew so everything can run properly once it's installed. Does that sound about right?"

Jean-Bart winced at the full listing of her issues but she nodded.

"That is correct, yes. She paused. "Can you do it?"

"Not sure yet." Ron said. "Probably."

"You aren't sure?" Jean-Bart felt herself deflate promptly at his words, an edge coming to her voice.

"I am not actually a naval architect yet Jean-Bart." Ron's voice took on a more serious tone. "I am a gifted amateur with plenty of time and help." He pointed at Summer. "I think we can do it provided we have the resources."

"Those will not be a problem." Jean-Bart said, slightly mollified. "My government will pay the price for my repairs. Of that I am certain."

"If that's the case I still want to..." Ron froze and then shook his head, looking like he wanted to swear. "Victoria!"

Jean-Bart's eyes popped as the maid suddenly appeared behind Ron.

"Yes Young Master?" Her voice was perfectly level, as if she'd been expecting this.

"Can you get Angie for me please? Tell her Jean-Bart needs some dry-dock time."

Jean-Bart cocked her eyebrow as Ron turned back to her.

"I need dry-dock time?" Her tone was somewhat flat.

"Yes." Ron didn't seem to be bothered by that. "You told me a lot but I'm going to need more detail than what you told me. Dimensions, current wear and tear, if something doesn't match the blueprints…" He stopped and grinned. "I've also recently been reminded that battleships like to skip out on repair time if they can." He cocked his head at her. "And I can see a few spots that need a paint job on your rig. When's the last time you soaked in a bath or were even in a repair dock?"

Jean-Bart suddenly felt a chill go down her spine for some reason and she looked around the room for a moment.

"I spend the required time in the baths after every sortie and since I've not had combat damage in quite a while there's no need…" she started, just as the door to the changing room was suddenly thrust open and banged on the wall. An amazonian woman with sun bleached hair and tanned skin stood there, an entirely too eager looking smile.

"There is no need for what?" Said the woman in an English accent mixed with German.

"Jean-Bart, this is Angie. Also known as Admiralty Floating Dock Number 8. Angie, this is Jean-Bart, second ship of the Richelieu class. She's come to us for help in repairs and well she can't remember the last time she had dry-dock time."

Angie's grin widened in a manner Jean-Bart did not like very much at all.

"I see. Good thing you called me Ron." The woman's green eyes focused on Jean-Bart. "So should I do a normal job or is this a special occasion?"

Jean-Bart turned the corner of her eye to Ron, hoping that by whatever gods there were that he didn't say it was a special occasion.

"I think this qualifies as a special occasion." Ron said, turning to look at Jean-Bart. "Be easy on her though. I still need drawings and specs of what is and isn't done so there needs to be a full survey."

"Ja." Angie's eyes were agleam. "It will be done."

Jean-Bart felt her chances of escape slipping away quickly.

"I don't have to stay here." She said, sounding unfortunately defensive even to her own ears.

Ron nodded.

"You don't. I can't do my job though if I don't know what I need to look at." His reasonable tone made Jean-Bart all the more nervous. "It's for your own good, I promise."

Jean-Bart looked between Ron who was so utterly reasonable looking, Summer who seemed to be nodding, Duke of York who was only grinning at her and the unmerciful eyes of the giant Anglo-Germanic repair dock.

"...Fine." She sighed.

"Great!" Ron smiled. "I'll leave you girls to it and go do some of my own research."

Jean-Bart watched as Ron was followed by Duke of York and Summer out of the pool, leaving her only with Angie.

"It will be fine!" Said the giant woman as a wrench appeared in her hand. "I will take good care of you."

Jean-Bart gulped.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Hours later, enough that it was long since dark, Jean-Bart blew bubbles in the water as Angie finished up her check.

"See, I told you it would not be so bad ja?" Angie was quite pleased as her hands did up the last of Jean-Bart's hair.

"You did." Jean-Bart admitted grudgingly. She did feel quite good after her time but it was still somewhat humiliating to be so easily maneuvered into such a position.

"Ronald is a good lad. He will be one of the best some day so you are in good hands. Even with all of this still needing doing."

Jean-Bart turned and looked to see several of Angie's fairies struggling under a mountain of little notes.

"I just hope it works out." Jean-Bart said.

"It will." Angie finished with Jean-Bart's hair and nodded. "Now you can get out. I'm sure they have a room for you."

Jean-Bart nodded and got out of the water, drying herself on the offered towel and redressing herself.

As they were leaving, Jean-Bart turned to see Summer carrying Ron against her shoulder with one hand, an enormous pile of paper in the other and Ron fast asleep looking exhausted.

The abyssal princess stopped as she saw them and put a finger to her lips.

"The Yardmaster is sleeping." Her voice was barely above a whisper as she carried Ron towards the door.

"Is that normal?" Jean-Bart turned to Angie.

"From what I understand, yes." Angie nodded. "I've not been around long but according to Duke and Warspite he is often scolded by his mother because he fell asleep on their blueprints. It looks like he's doing the same thing for you."

Jean-Bart felt her boilers flutter at the thought, her eyes tracking Summer and Ron until they made it to the door where the maid was waiting.

Victoria waited until Jean-Bart and Angie got close before speaking.

"I have prepared a guest room for you at the Young Master's request. He says it's to be kept open for your use." Her voice was neutral, showing little inflection but she didn't seem quite as cold as before.

"Thank you." Jean-Bart said. There was no point in being rude.

There was a pause as Victoria narrowed her eyes briefly and then stepped aside, gesturing towards the door.

"Please enjoy your stay."

Jean-Bart nodded, stepping back into the house and wondering why she felt her boilers flutter nervously at those words.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
AN: Well, this is the end of Ron's first return to Passell house but there's sure to be more coming. My next snip is one I've been looking forward to for a while and I hope to get it out soon. Until then, questions, comments and concerns welcome as always.
 
When Harry learns that Ron is a Yardmaster after this, I imagine they'll have a Shepard/Wrex exchange, while HMS Done with this Shit looks on in annoyance.
 
i don't know why but i have the strangest feeling that some expansions are going to be needed for ron workshop.. and why does Victoria kinda remind me of Sheffield from azur lane
 
Translated excerpt from 'Nederlandse Slagen tijdens Bloedweek' (Dutch Battles during Blood Week)
First Battle of Den Haag
(Alias, First Battle of The Hague, First Battle of 's Gravenhage)

When the Abyssal tide swept down from the north in a coordinated strike on all targets of interest, the Dutch center of government fared rather poorly. Unlike the centers of government for many other nations, Den Haag is situated right at the coast, with parliament only 4 kilometers from the coast. As a result, the city is particularly vulnerable to a seaborne assault, as the Abyssals would so bloodily demonstrate in the opening hours of Blood Week.

Although all governments had stepped up sea patrols in the lead up to the Abyssal War, Abyssal forces had made a point of stifling any report that could've made it back to higher authorities by hunting down and silencing anyone and everyone who spotted them. This lack of reports in the early morning hours worried the Dutch military and they stepped up readiness as they could while readying the next rotation of patrols to go in early, but halfway through the morning Abyssal forces arrived at the harbour of Scheveningen and launched an immediate amphibious invasion of ground forces, backed by the guns of the battleship squadron and their escorts. Resistance in the early stages was sporadic.

While a company of the 11th Air Mobile Brigade had been deployed to The Hague on guard duty, they had concentrated their deployment on key government and public transportation infrastructure in accordance with the expectation of a terrorist threat. This, combined with the limited weaponry and restricted rules of engagement for the police meant that defenders were scattered and unable to offer effective resistance against an enemy that outnumbered them, was better equipped, and had achieved total surprise.

As standard for Abyssal forces performing an assault, considerable damage was done along the assault corridor, with many buildings leveled and people gunned down in the streets. The Abyssal assault appears to have been mostly focused on causing damage to a large number of targets, many small groups of Abyssal forces detached from the main assault group making their way to Lower Chamber of the States-General, attacking the many embassies along the way along with the Peace Palace, doing great damage to all targets they could reach.

Moving swiftly but still needing to cover some 4 kilometers on foot in hostile territory, Abyssal forces were finally met with stiffer resistance in the Sea Heroes' Quarter just before Palace Noordeinde. At this time the battle had been going on for nearly an hour, and command paralysis was finally starting to lapse as Dutch military leadership deployed its forces to repel simultaneous strikes on Rotterdam, Den Helder and Den Haag. The Air Mobile Brigade, having already deployed parts of its forces into the city would come and reinforce it over the course of the day, deploying by Chinook. Ground travel into the Randstad was impossible due to the severe chaos on the roads as civilians fled the violence.

By the afternoon, the battle lines had largely drawn themselves closed. Dutch forces had already suffered 10% casualties at this stage of the battle, but liberal use of anti tank weaponry as well as Apache and F-16 based air support allowed the defenders to mostly confine the Abyssal forces until the night.

The Abyssals, realizing their attacks were stalled and most likely no longer capable of completing their suspected goal of a decapitation strike on the Dutch government dug in and waited for reinforcements.

The second day of the battle would see a slow advance of Abyssal forces against a stubborn but flagging resistance as the Dutch logistical situation grew more dire. While there was a sizable stockpile of munitions available, the stockpiles themselves were dozens of kilometers from the front and Abyssal air power was complicating delivery. The deployment of Abyssal air forces also forced F-16s away from their desperately needed air support role towards maintaining air superiority. The advance made little progress however, moving only 2 streets until it reached the gates of Palace Noordeinde.

Now close to what must've seemed a critical component in local resistance, the Abyssals maintained their assault in the night, eventually gaining access to and setting fire to the Palace's main building. This may have been an ill advised decision. The Marine Corps arrived halfway through the night to reinforce the defense.

The third day of the battle saw the column of smoke rising from Palace Noordeinde loom over the battlefield in condemnation. Abyssal forces had at this time received extra ground forces drawn from reserves elsewhere and they pressed their attack. They were met with a fierce and unyielding resistance from the 11th Air Mobile Brigade and the marines, aided by the self propelled artillery stationed further east, outside the city. Unfortunately, Abyssal numbers and battleship grade artillery support forced the defenders back again repeatedly as casualties mounted further, and by noon the Abyssals had finally managed to take the buildings of the Lower Chamber of the States General.

It was promptly burned.

Outraged, furious assaults on Abyssal positions followed, forcing them back despite a notable enemy advantage in the air and artillery. However, as the day turned to night the exhausted defenders let up on the attacks as the lines set themselves for dawn the next day.

Day four of the battle was largely inconclusive, with heavy fighting in the ruins depleting stocks of munitions in the face of mounting casualties. However, it seems that the Abyssals either had determined there would be no more benefit to fighting here, and they left their ground forces behind while the fleet retreated.

By day five the Dutch had run significantly low on munitions. While they could and did keep the Abyssal ground forces in the city pinned down and unable to retreat, they did not have the munitions to push into the defenses. As such, the lines did not change, but the composition of the defenders did. Germany had agreed early in Bloodweek to render any and all assistance they could to their allies, but with much of Europe's coasts under attack they had to consider where to deploy their troops with some care. This was not helped by the fact that many German forces were stationed far from the coasts, and would need to move men and material hundreds of kilometers into Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark. While the German Air Force started supporting allied efforts by day 2 of Blood Week at the latest, it was only by day 5 that their ground forces and logistical support could move in in force.

Taking on most of the frontline duties to keep the Abyssals bottled up while the Dutch forces took the remainder of the day off to rest and reconstitute their forces, the day swiftly passed into night.

Early on day 6 of Blood Week Dutch and German command staff had managed to finalize a coordinated attack plan on the Sea Heroes' Quarter and all other occupied areas of the city. Heavy fighting would happen over the following days as the Dutch-German forces took back the city one house at a time and rooted out the Abyssal forces remaining.

Pack Dynamics VI

Yokosuka Naval Base, Main Gate

Suzume Ibuki stifled a groan as her minutes-older big sister sprinted toward the effeminate form of her boyfriend. Not that she did not expect this kind of behavior, considering how bridge - no, head! - over heels Moriko-chan was for this boy. That said, it was still terribly embarrassing to see Moriko-chan act like a giddy schoolgirl in public.

People were staring at her and not just the children! That secretary over there was, as was the businesswoman that she remembered from the Karaoke club!

Sachiko murmured from where she sat in the wheelchair, "That poor little boy. Someone needs to comfort him."

With that Suzume nodded and hurried over to the side of the cute boy who was looking at his big brother with an absolutely adorable puzzled look. Since it was obvious that unless someone took a cutting torch to Hachiko and Moriko's relationship soon, she should be at least friendly to her new in-laws.



She knelt down in front of the boy and extended her hand. "Hello, I'm Moriko-chan's sister Suzume."

He blinked and looked at her with his brown eyes wide and whispered. "Oh! You must be Tou-san's friend's sister! He said that she was really nice and wonderful and stuff."

Unbidden her lips curled in a gentle smile that lit up her face. "Yes, yes she is. Um, you are Aki, right?"

He nodded, still awestruck. "Yes, yes I am. Um, you are really nice and wonderful too. Are you an angel like Tou-san says Miss Moriko is?"

She smiled. "That's very sweet of you, Aki-kun." She cast about for a subject to talk to this precocious elementary school student about, and seized on the hachimaki headband from his kyudo lesson that he was wearing. "That's an interesting headband, Aki-kun, where did you get it?"

She was curious, since unlike the normal slogans to pass an examination or be number one, the characters on the headband were hand-inked 体得 'Knowledge'.

He scuffed one sneaker against the pavement with a bashful look, "I wrote it myself my first day in Tokunotakai-sensei's class. She told me that kyudo was a path for people to grow, and for me to write what I wanted to grow toward, what I wanted to get out of the class. I want to learn and understand stuff like Tou-san does."

Suzume gave Aki a respectful nod and approving smile and then blinked in surprise. "Oh! You train under Tokunotakai-kyōshi? I wish that I could have. My senseis have spoken of her with respect but I have been unable to learn from her."

"Yeah, she's really amazing and funny, but not as amazing as you are," Aki said earnestly, with clear hero-worship toward this young lady treating him as an equal.

She laughed slightly and gave him a conspiritorial grin. "We are all amazing in our own way. I bet if you keep growing and learning, you will compete in kyudo tournaments like I did to get money to help my sister Sachiko; she gets sick a lot so she is in the wheelchair here. Want to meet her too?"

"Mm-hmm!" Aki nodded eagerly and reached out his hand for Suzume's. Calluses from kyudo practice touched each other as they walked past the embracing Moriko and Hachiko.

The two passed the secretary talking on her phone and then the nightclub manager, who had a smug self-satisfied smile as they walked to Sachiko. Upon arriving at Sachiko's wheelchair, Suzume gave Aki's hand a squeeze and released it. "Aki, this is my amazing and wonderful younger sister Sachiko. Sachiko-chan, this is Hachiko's little brother Aki-kun."

The youngest Ibuki sister smiled and patted her lap. "Want to ride to see the flowers with me?"

Aki glanced at Sachiko, then up to Suzume. Suzume smiled encouragingly and nodded and he happily hopped into Sachiko's lap.

"I see Big Sister Moriko finally is letting Hachiko-san breathe." Sachiko observed quietly as Hachiko's red face with a trickle of blood from his nose emerged from Moriko's cleavage.

Aki looked up at Suzume, "Why does Tou-san look so funny?"

Suzume smiled at him and winked. "Because Moriko-chan ruffled his hair like I'll ruffle yours."

Aki melodramatically put both hands up to protect his head. "Nooo! I don't want to look funny like Tou-san!" The roguish twinkle in his eyes and perked up ears put paid to any form of distress in his statement, though.

Sachiko and Suzume burst into laughter, followed by Aki as they wheeled to join Moriko and Hachiko.

---------------------------------------



Kiho Mitsue smiled despite herself as she watched Suzume assist the wheelchair-bound form of Sachiko next to the picnic blanket that Aki, Hachiko and Moriko had set up under the cherry blossoms.

It was a beautiful day, not too hot yet, and with an invigorating sea breeze to make the blossom-laden branches gently sway. Considering the circumstances of some of her investigations, this was near-ideal.

Her smile widened as Moriko plopped herself down on the blanket and then grabbed Hachiko, pulling the smaller boy into her lap to use her bosom as a pillow while Aki ate his bento and the other two sisters talked quietly over lunch away from the lovebirds.

She rubbed the ofuda in her purse, sharpening her hearing while apparently looking at her smartphone with her visible hand.

".... Suzume-chan?"

"What is it, Sachiko-chan?"

"You smelled inu on Aki-kun too?"

"Hai. I don't think Moriko-chan has yet. I'm not surprised, since her nose never totally worked right after that oni broke it in her championship match. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"I am. Let's keep Aki-kun downwind of her and see how long it takes her to figure out that the 'Inugami bitch who keeps sniffing around her Hachiko-chan' is his cute little brother."

Kiho's eyes widened behind her omnioculars and she bit her lip to focus herself and force her anger and betrayal back down. This definitely needed to be followed up, and explained why that spider Shigeru hung her out to dry rather than stepping in like he could have.

She murmured into her phone words for her self-writing notebook to transcribe for analysis later. "Definite yokai connection, investigate. Knows about oni, Reference Auror reports on female MMA fighters, possibly championship caliber. Also check Miyatas for inugami members."

Sensing eyes turned toward her from the direction of her quarry, she gave a visible exasperated sigh at the imaginary ingrate who had called her during hanami. She turned to 'visibly admire the blossoms' and lull suspicion as another scrap of conversation caused her magically enhanced ears to perk up

"Chief Longstreet-san?"

"Hello there Kisaragi-san. Is there something I can do for you?"

"Oh no. We just wanted to thank you for all the help the other night with that 'Boogeyman' problem. The children are sleeping much easier now."

"I was happy to help. It was just something that my grandfather told me about back when I was a kid. That when I became a dad, I would have to be the one to get rid of the Boogeyman and the Monster Under the Bed for my kids. He also said something about only adult men can see them and make them go away."

"And you certainly did make it go away! Although it was kind of messy."

"Yeah, another weird little detail my grandfather mentioned that I always thought was bullspit. Did the baking soda and water mix get the blood stains out of the closet?"

"Yes it did and thank you again! I'm sure your children will never have to worry about a boogeyman! OH! I've got to go Longstreet-san, arigato!"

"It's true in a way, being as I'm not likely to ever have kids, they certainly won't have to worry."

The weary, beaten-down tone of the man's voice sparked something under her professionalism. Embers of a flame that she had thought extinguished forever by the cynicism and cruelty of the way that she had been treated for doing the right thing.

She looked over and saw a middle aged and battered man sitting alone with a bottle of some brown soda and a sandwich next to him. As the destroyer girl he had been talking to headed back to the gaggle of young children that she was escorting, she noticed that he was certainly close enough to her targets to listen in on their conversation and she would have a decent line of sight to their picnic.

Perfect.

She murmured to her self-writing quill, "Begin automatic recording mode, full transcript."

With that set up, she walked over and bowed to him, pulling her own bento and a bottle of water out of her purse. "Excuse me, would you mind terribly if I sat beside you to enjoy the blossoms?"

Part of her told herself the reason that she would be doing this was to cultivate a contact to see what the base gossip network thought of the Ibuki sisters. But deep down, she knew that she did it because she knew what it was like to spend hanami abandoned by everyone around her as she suffered in stoic silence.

Cross-posting from SB where I put this originally. This snippet helps make some sense of Mitsue's sitting down next to Longstreet.

Time for another little walk down.... Lonely Street

Lonely Street ... Part 2

Master Chief Longstreet was facing another day of finding something to do. With hanami proving to be a veritable blizzard of pink sakura blossoms, Yonehara had once again shuttered the office and given everyone the day off. Sure, things were running well and it wasn't like anything was pressing. But for Dalton, mindless shuffling of paper, files, reports and correspondence made the day pass. Nothing to do means I'm needed for nothing. Superfluous to requirements. He walked back home. He took the half full liter bottle of Coca-cola out of the fridge. He reached into a cabinet, took out a bottle of Capt Morgan Black Rum and poured enough rum into the Coke bottle to fill it. He secured the cap on the Coke bottle and gave it a shake to mix it together.

He chuckled grimly. "Time to go sailing with Captain Morgan / and not even leave dry land." Adding a sandwich to the Coke bottle in a bag, he headed out to the park.

Once again the park was full of families and groups enjoying the sakura. He made his way through the throngs, trying to locate a nice quiet solitary place. That meant avoiding the open grassy areas where most of the families had set up, so he kept walking, hoping to find somewhere unobtrusive. Several different groups of ship-girls were in the park. One of which was the natural born Ibuki sisters. A sharp pang of envy spiked through him at the sight of Moriko Ibuki bury a yeah that's a guy in marshmallow hell. The peals of laughter caused a familiar refrain to bubble up to his conscious thought.

Happiness happens to other people. Not you Dalt. Joy will not come to the unwanted, lest it be wasted.

"Chief Longstreet-san?"

Dalt was broken out of his reverie by the question. Looking back, he saw one of the destroyer girls that lived with Fubuki and all those kids. "Hello there Kisaragi-san. Is there something I can do for you?"

"Oh no. We just wanted to thank you for all the help the other night with that 'Boogeyman' problem. The children are sleeping much easier now."

He rubbed his chin in thought. "I was happy to help. It was just something that my grandfather told me about back when I was a kid. That when I became a dad, I would have to be the one to get rid of the Boogeyman and the Monster Under the Bed for my kids. He also said something about only adult men can see them and make them go away."

"And you certainly did make it go away! Although it was kind of messy."

"Yeah, another weird little detail my grandfather mentioned that I always thought was bullspit. Did the baking soda and water mix get the blood stains out of the closet?"

"Yes it did and thank you again! I'm sure your children will never have to worry about a boogeyman! OH! I've got to go Longstreet-san, arigato!" With that Kisaragi waved and moved off to catch up to Fubuki and the children.

Dalton just stared glumly off into space before he spoke to the air, "It's true in a way, being as I'm not likely to ever have kids, they certainly won't have to worry." He turned and found an unclaimed sakura tree to sit down and lean his back against. He sat down, took out the bottle of Coke and took a long pull. He didn't notice the woman in sunglasses surreptitiously watching the Ibuki group, nor that she had been within hearing distance of his brief conversation with Kisaragi. The only thing Dalt wanted was to feel something other than numb or lonely. For now, he was leaving that in the hands of Captain Morgan.
 
Wow, Uzume, if you smug any harder, you may have to start paying either Juuchi or the rest of her dumpsterfire royalties or suffer copyright infringement.
 
Okay, since people have been asking, begging, and on occasional, demanding it (dafuq?) ...

EDIT1: YES, I KNOW THE FORMATING IS FUCKED UP. I'M WORKING ON IT!!!! It really, REALLY, doesn't help that this update got rid of the indent bbc code (that I know of).
EDIT1a: Okay, indent still works......except I have to manually type it in, every. single. line. At the front and the end. Kill me....
EDIT 2: Heaven help me, the Mods are gonna go apeshit on me for the sheer amount of alterations I'm going to be doing. Please, nobody give the mods grief in the thread.

The Chart.

Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here...

HIJMS/JDS Shinano (Armored Support Carrier. Flagship-to-be. Innocently naive to an angelic degree. Painfully shy. Would secretly like Harry to give her a Kabe-don)
TSAS Regina (Submersible Battlecarrier. Extremely close on Shinano's heels for being in the top three. Is extremely close to Shinano too. Painfully shy. Also wants, badly, to get Kabe-don'd. Minor paraphilia towards 'being commanded')

Submarine Group:

Umi & Sakura (twin Hitobashira guardian spirits (Purified Abyssal Twin Princesses??). Very much part of the 'Fleet' part of the fleet. Much like the Duckies, they must be pampered and snuggled)

'Non-Fleet' Support:
AFLP Hoppou (Princess Installation. Harry's adopted little sister. Not technically part of the 'Fleet' part of the fleet, but still very much a mild bro-con. Where he goes, she will follow. Wielder of both Reppu and spray bottle. Northern Ocean Elder Princess. Matriarch of the Fleet of Laughter, creator of Barghest and Scruffles McClawsy)
Shiromizu (Mizuchi. Dragon. Kami. Not technically part of the 'Fleet' part of the fleet, but sticks around due to the amusement, and that Harry is her closest/dearest friend.

Recently revealed that she is a Mizuchi, to her own surprise as she didn't know either until that moment, to Harry)
Haru Ono (Kitsune, recently gained her fifth tail. Yokosuka Base Miko/Master. Aunt of Natsumi. Widow. Not part of the 'Fleet' at all, but sticks around due to the amusement, to help guide/train her niece, and due to a debt owed)
HIJMS/JDS Nagato (Battleship. Mom. Cuddler of all things cute, resident base Mama Bear, and slightly over-protective)
Myrtle Warren (Ghost. Not part of the 'Fleet', but views Harry as an extremely close friend, if probably somewhat like a younger sibling/nephew, considering she was romantically involved with his great-grand-uncle on the Evans side of his family prior to her murder)
HIJMS/JDS Hamakaze (Destroyer. Shinano escort. Not technically part of the 'Fleet' part of the fleet, but there as one of Shinano's escorts. She's well aware of where Shinano is naively heading)

HIJMS/JDS Urakaze (Destroyer. Shinano escort. Not technically part of the 'Fleet' part of the fleet, but there as one of Shinano's escorts. Unlike her sisters, due to being summoned late/recently, she's rather naive about Harry, Shinano, and the rest)
Barghast (Abyssal Hellcat Fighter created by Hoppou. Personal bodyguard to Harry Potter. Hates Peeves. Has a weird thing with Flitch's cat. Friend of Hedwig's)
Scruffles McClawsy (Abyssal Mobile AA Battery created by Hoppou. Unique. Personal bodyguard to Harry Potter. Looks like a skinned six-legged wolverine, and probably just as pissed at the world as a skinned wolverine would be. Loves squeaky chew toys)

In truth a mass produced blade, but the Potter family has made her one of the finest enchanted/charmed blades in history, making her nearly as strong as a Muramasa or a Masamune. Which is good, as Juuchi Yosamu & Honjo Masamune are both her senpai. Destined to fall in love with/marry one of Harry's sons)
Honjo Masamune (SEE MASAMUNE BLADES SECTION BELOW FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. Sword Spirit. Ultimate masterwork of Masamune. The finest sword ever produced in all of Japan's history. Effectively the sword spirit equivalent of Ooyodo, in seeking to get maximum results with a minimal of effort/resources used.

Initially, had no intentions of honoring her surrender, and plans to escape/destroy everything after fake-seducing Ron to learn his secrets.

Wouldn't mind a roll or two in the hay, but Seiche called first & only dibs (with the aforementioned 'rare exception' with Morag), so is a friend only. Is content at being a friend only)

Kenta Kaku (Tanuki. A grandson of Shokaku)
Asuka Miku (Daitengu/Kotengu. Blood Week orphan. Adopted by Kiba. Effectively was JUST made heir to the Saburo clan, via Ai no Suburo's actions. Is feeling way over her head due to being in the company of 5 major yokai clan heirs/secondary heirs)

J.N.H.R.O. Members, Past and Present:
Lt Kobayashi Aina / Ai no Saburo (Kotengu. Last Hatamoto of the near-extinct Saburo clan. Pilot of the JGSDF and one of their Ace of Aces against Abyssals. One of the 'Hell Divers'. Adopted Asuka Miku as the heir to her clan. Former girlfriend/lover of Kiba. Is more or less the person who's speech founded the Japanese Non-Human Rights Organization, or JNHRO.)
Nakano Kiba III / Kiba of Tamaki (Okuri-Inu. A highly successful investment banker and avid car collector. Used to be a self-made millionaire before using his collection and wealth to help those in the Reserves under the table as it were. Noble bleeding heart. Recently formally adopted Asuka Miku, a Blood Week orphaned Daitengu. Former boyfriend/lover of Ai no Saburo)
Himura Tsukino / Himura Maya (Originally a human, but was turned into a Kijo due to cruel events. Exceptionally strong willed as she never allows herself to fail prey to her new revenge/vengeance inclined instincts. Highly trained/skilled lawyer, partially trained by Ai no Saburo herself, and just as good if not better than Ai due to Ai having to change jobs in order to 'become' Kobayashi Aina. Is not related to the Inaba based Tsukino family/clan)
Mizukashii Suigetsu (Kappa. 'Snake Oil' Salesman with a heart of gold. While Suigetsu is his real name, many he's met know him by a host of different aliases. Used his connections with the muggle/magical 'gray' market to help those yokai still trapped in the Preserves/Reservations. Currently under house arrest by the Magical Diet)
Oshiro Tokutomi (Human onmyouji. Wizard. Has a personal grudge against the Magical Diet after learning what they did during questioning of his Kitsune-blooded hannyou grand-uncle, which lead to an early stress related death. Comes from a long line of onmyouji who have a fairly decent amount of political clout. And if that failed, lots of money to spend as well)
Jin no Hisakawa / Molly Belinda-Tanith Maleficus (Born a Witch, but was cursed before birth into becoming the reincarnation, as of her seventeenth birthday, of a mizuchi that Jin's/Molly's mother killed just after WW2. Incredibly powerful, something of a recluse, and very very jaded. Recently has become Shiromizu's 'senpai', and is struggling as to how to respond to the younger Mizuchi's actions. Currently unbeknownst to her, the original stream/spring her past life was born from, is starting to trickle back to life under a building. One of the heroines of the Battle of the Mist Castle, and the only dragon to have ever survived fighting a Gashadokuro)
Kogamaru (Okuri-Inu. Koshaku of the Hokubu Okami. Grandson of a disgraced politician from the 1940s, and son of a controversial figure who tried to fix what the grandfather did. Feudal lord over a moderate sized town/village in Hokkaido, and currently the single most-eligible bachelor among the various Okui-Inu. Has turned down every single offer of marriage, which by now count into the dozens if not hundreds. Very very recently accidentally spilled coffee onto Sachiko, a sickly Inu who just also happens to be a slowly awakening shipgirl, at a convention. Dokidoki ensues. Massively)
Tsumemaru (Okuri-Inu. Former Koshaku of the Hokubu Okami. Deceased. Son of a disgraced official from the 1940s who willfully helped Unit 731 & the magical equivalent of that unit. Hated what his father did and used every means he could to try to reverse or fix what rights were torn away from the wolf yokai and yokai in general, following the war. Was on the cusp of fulfilling his lifetime wish of the Diet granting more rights to yokai, but perished during the opening attack of the Abyssal War when Abyssals achieved complete surprise in attacking Tokyo and decapitating the Magical Diet, where he was located at the time)
Naito Osamu (Human onmyouji. Due to an incident in his youth where a drunken ICW official murdered a yokai friend of his as both he and his friend were attempting to help the official, and the ICW allowed the man to get off scot-free, Osamu has had a long standing issue with both them and the Magical Diet for decades. Especially as his ancestral family home is only minutes away from one of the 'Reserves' the yokai are trapped within. Barely survived the same attack which killed Tsumemaru)
Long-Wen Shi II / Long-Wen Shi (Chinese Dragon. Daughter of one of Longmu's dragons and quite possibly several thousand years old. Made a poorly timed decision to move to Japan in the 1920s that resulted in her on the run from Aurors seeing a dragon outside the reserves, and her hiding in the open as an 'ordinary muggle'. Extremely good with numbers, she turned to running investment firms and is one of the more well-off members of JNHRO. Helped Kiba learn how to be an investor)
Nakamura Yu / Usagi no Yuno (Rabbit yokai. Former medic from WW2 that became despondent after his family vanished after the atomic bombing of Nagasaki even though they were well clear of the blast zone. After finally giving up looking a decade later, he re-married to another rabbit yokai and started a new family with her (and his now step-children). Resolved never to get involved with medicine again due to the horrors seen in the war, he became a banker and is one of the two who helped teach Kiba. While he wasn't in the Diet when the Blood Week attack came, he was on the Yokohama Expressway and nearly died when it was shelled)
Omoi Gosetsu (Itachi. Former architect, now a housing buyer/seller, and a self-made millionaire like Kiba used to be. Extremely family oriented as his siblings and parents discovered when he literally 'bought the farm' out from under his parents and then completely modernized it for them. Also heads a group that is a defense contractor for the non-magical part of Japan, in building up numerous bunkers and housing/basing facilities across all four Home Islands and even Okinawa)
Tomokako (Inari Kitsune. Maybe. So much about her is distorted, that no one knows if she's lying or not. If she's telling the truth, she's one of Inari's own messengers from the divine/celestial court, except she 'quit'. Issue is, is that recently there have several events in and around Tokyo that all scream 'divine intervention' of some kind, and Tomokako knows about all of them before anyone else has, outracing both rumors and official reports. In any case she's a mistress of disguise and guile, able to sneak in and out of the Reserves better than anyone else in the JNHRO, or just about anyone else at all for that matter)
Larry Mercurio Johnson (Human. Wizard. Originally a political campaign operator/manager from MACUSA until his outspoken views that ran contrary to the political views pre-Blood Week got him into trouble and he had to leave the country. First he tried the UK, and then the Death Eaters attacked. So he moved to Japan. Which more or less has worked for him, even after the Abyssals attacked. Still occasionally monitored by MACUSA as a possible threat to Statute secrecy)
Dr Kawa Goro (Human. Immortal due to a sacrifice made by his mermaid wife that cost her two fingers. Almost a thousand years old by this point, if not slightly older, and has regeneration abilities that would put Logan/Wolverine to shame. While originally a fisherman, he has since gravitated towards medicine and is quite possibly one of the most well-rounded, trained, and knowledgable doctors alive who isn't a divinity in hiding. Is, at heart, a pacifist, and managed to go through the magical side of WW2 without killing a single soul. Close friend of Usagi no Yuno as they served in the same unit, however unwillingly, during WW2)
Dr Kawa Mizuki (Mermaid. An immortal who shared her gift with her husband after saving his life from an oni curse, but only after sacrificing two fingers to feed him, thus granting him immortality. Cannot hide her legs, so uses the excuse that an 'accident' resulted in her loss of fingers and being wheelchair bound. Is naturally gifted with potions and healing magic that she has since shared with her husband over the centuries. Both of them are exceedingly untrusting of the ICW due to unethical medicine monitoring done to them that was equal or worse then Dr. Mengle's 'studies')
Chisuheri (SEE MURAMASA SISTERS SECTION BELOW)
Yamazaki Sarutobi (Sarugami. Former prize fighter/pit-fighter. If Muhammad Ali was the most well known boxer in the non-magical world, then Sarutobi was his equivalent in the magical world, and for almost all the same reasons. Unabashedly family man who still thinks of his wife the same as the day he married her, which is a complete change from before that point as he was a vicious fighter in the pits. Walked out/quit to be with his new family rather then concede to blackmail that would have kept him in longer. Todachi Oda, while as a youth greatly respected that even though his own uncle, father, and grandfather were the men blackmailing Sarutobi. Oda put Sarutobi in contact with Long-When Shi as she was starting up one of her longest running companies, and he's been there ever since, as one of its most well-respected workers)
Todachi Oda (heir to a family that was yakuza in all but name, as the family business revolved around semi-legal, if not outright illegal, yokai pit-fighting and controlling the betting books. After seeing the locker room aftermath of a bad fight one too many times, and a blatantly fixed-called match, Oda confronted his uncle who at the time controlled things and pulled him from the position. He immediately went on to re-make the sport into the magical equal of MMA with extensive health monitoring and a means for the fighters to get out on their own terms, with their health intact. Many of the old fighters from the more brutal days love him for this. Quietly has used the income to further legitimize the sport, while also funneling funds into the JNHRO who he is sympathetic to)
Iwate-Ken no Shika (Daitengu. A pit fighter like Sarutobi, and the one who's match set off the 'restructuring' of the Todachi controlled bloodsport. Ironic in that the match was called in his favor, even though it was obvious he was losing. His threatening to leave like Sarutobi, but not say silent is what set everything in motion. While retired, he helped coach newer fighters and, after being offered co-chair to the new version of the sport, uses his connections to put together muggle identities for fighters and their families, including even setting up retirement packages as well. All of which is at least partially handled through the JNHRO)
Professor Kotobuki Hosei (Kotobuki. Not much is yet known about him, other than a bit of an 'in your face' attitude towards secrecy as he outright uses his species name as his family surname. Outside of that, he is usually found teaching Medicinal Science at a Tokyo university)
Sugiyama Tenshin (Otoroshi. Owner of The Tanuki's Balls, a hole-in-the-wall bar where the JNHRO officially got its start. Jin is still a regular there. While not officially a member of the JNHRO until after Blood Week, most of the older members view him as the unofficial 17th founding member)

The Muramasa Blades (All are sword spirits):
Juuchi Yosamu (Sword which Cuts All Without Distinction. Physical Form: 1550s Katana. Muramasa's ultimate masterwork and possibly the only true peer equal of Honjo Masamune. Flesh, Armor, Spells, anything - all are equal to her: As if as air. Retrieved by one of Harry's ancestors and has more or less by default become the Potter family heirloom blade, with only Tsukiakari being held with nearly the same regard within the family. Incredibly smug due to her position as being one of the most well used and most feared swords in all of Japan's martial history to the point she actually has an active aura of it she can emit into the surroundings. Like her sisters, she has to draw at least a tiny amount of blood before she can fully be sheathed. The Potter family is the only known bloodline able to withstand her bloodlust/thirst to kill, as anyone else attempting to use her becomes a blindly homicidal maniac just as likely to kill their allies as their enemies. Magical Britain is terrified of the sword, for good reason)
Akutoku (Sword of Corruption. Physical Form: 1550s Katana. Her mark actually indicates she was made by a student of Muramasa, and successor as head of his school. Mangaka of both official and doujin work meant to 'corrupt the youth of Japan'. Very successful mangaka too)
Kagotsuruhe (Blade of Hopelessness. Physical Form: Early 1510s Katana. Functional sociopath, in that she has no emotions. Any that she portrays are merely an act. Surprisingly good morals due to being influenced by several virtuous owners over the centuries, and only rarely gives into her instinctive impulses anymore)
Kyoshu (Sword of Faded Memories. Physical Form: Mid-1530's Katana. Previously one of the evilest blades ever created in Japan or even the entirety of the world, but was irrevocably damaged physically and mentally during WW2. Currently has the mind of an innocent child, and effectively severe ADD/Alzheimer's at the same time. While damage inflicted on her sword's true self can be healed, her past memories CANNOT be recovered. Ever. Juuchi is terrified of her, absolutely hates her very existence, and likely will require decades before being comfortable near her even after finding out what happened in WW2. Paired with the Nameless Masamune)
Chisuheri (Bloodlust Blade. Physical Form: Early 1500s Katana and Wakazashi daisho sword set. Use of her twin blades turns the user into a self-regenerating blood knight so long as the blades do more damage than the wielder takes. Ironically, due to being put into a buddhist temple for centuries, has found a sense of peace and enlightenment. Actually has welded her katana half shut in a permanent peace bond, but was forced to break the bond on her wakazashi during Blood Week to help save civilians. One of the more balanced of the sisters. Has been a member of the JNHRO for decades)
Umitsubame (Waterwitch Blade. Physical Form: 1570s Su Yari style spear. Potions Mistress. One of the few Muramasa blades without a downside. Surpisingly compassionate, and is all but an unlicensed street doctor considering her skill with potions & salves. While not the oldest, nor the best of the sisters, is effectively 'the big sister' who runs the whole group and keeps them under control)
Suisei (Fading Comet. Physical Form: 1560's Tanto. Something of a dual mindset. On one hand, the mild sister who is the peacemaker. On the other hand, the steel hidden under the silk as she is one of the deadliest when it comes to being a bodyguard and has a near Masamune attitude towards ending things via maximum damage with minimal effort. Due to the family that she has become an heirloom of, she absolutely loves working in a bakery. Best chef of the sisters bar none)
Norimune (Unrepentant. Physical Form: 1510s Nodachi with a Nagamaki style hilt. Disciple/adherent of Hachiman. Previously a sellsword/mercenary who is by far the most well traveled of the sisters, barring Juuchi. We won't say she's a tsundere due to previous Magical encounters souring her view of the world, but we won't say she isn't one either. Just found out she's a mother three times over. MISTRESS OF DUMPSTER FIRES)
Tonbo (Title not yet revealed. Form not yet revealed other than either a katana or a uchigatana. Ancestral family heirloom blade of Tatsuya's family. 'Former' serial killer-killer. Powers/Abilities not yet completely revealed)
Kansha (No Title. Male spirit. A set of cutlery made by Muramasa just prior to his death, gifted to the one young cook who stayed with him through his madness. 5-star quality chef who can cook nearly anything, using anything. Is actually far deadlier than many might believe as unlike his sisters, he is the spirit of the entire set of cooking implements/tools, and can jump between any of his true bodies at will, making him frightfully good at knifefighting)

The Masamune Blades (All are sword spirits):
Honjo Masamune (Sword Spirit. Ultimate masterwork of Masamune. The finest sword ever produced in all of Japan's history. If Yamato is the Yamato Nadeshiko of Japanese Warships, than Honjo is her equivalent for swords. Professionally speaking though, Honjo is effectively the sword spirit equivalent of Ooyodo, in seeking to get maximum results with a minimal of effort/resources used. Can can anything she wishes cut, and anything she does not wish cut, will not be cut. Thus she can 'phase' through objects & armor has no meaning against her edge. Has virtually no bloodlust of her own and is extremely professional at all times unless Juuchi is teasing her again. Vitrolic best-buds with Juuchi. Destined to fall in love with/marry one of Harry's sons. Loves Fuji Apples)
Fudo Masamune (PLACEHOLDER)
Musashi Masamune (PLACEHOLDER)
Toku Masamune (PLACEHOLDER. Yes I know Toku is her cute/shortened name)
Hōchō Masamune (PLACEHOLDER)
Kotegiri Masamune (PLACEHOLDER)
Shimazu Masamune (PLACEHOLDER. Most recently discovered Masamune, having previously been missing for 150 years)
Unnamed Masamune (PLACEHOLDER. Unnamed Masamune stored in the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library)
'Nameless' Masamune (Katana. Masamune stolen by a dark wizard and severely mentally damaged, if not quite to the degree of Kyoshu. Unlike Kyoshu, who remembers her name, Nameless had her name retroactively removed from history itself to the point even in the afterlife her creator cannot remember her name. As this is a slight against Japan itself, every effort - including a few less than legal ones - is being used to find the wizard. Especially as he is hinted to be the very same individual who came up with the spells that nearly destroyed Kyoshu, and was a member of the magical side of Unit 731)

Tsar Bomba caused fires 500 miles away, and the heat was felt 1,000 miles away. The fireball alone was well over five spherical miles across. If you buried that a mile, straight down, beneath Manhattan Island, and initiated the bomb, there wouldn't BE an island of Manhattan anymore. And it'd still wipe out everything on the surface for probably 150 miles in all directions. And Azkaban is sure as hell less than 150 miles off UK's western shore, and probably just as close to Ireland, if not possibly closer. Anything over a megaton would be....bad.

The bomb we're referring to, the one HMS Plym has, is 'only' 25 kilotons. A sub-surface detonation from it, even only 200-300 meters down, would create one hell of a wave shock, and ejecta from the remains of the island probably would be a threat to airliners descending/ascending from cruise altitude, but otherwise would have an extremely remote chance of ever seeing damage done to either England or Ireland. But outside of that, not really much would occur beyond a whole lot of stunned birds & fish and some dead crabs.

How it would work is that the fireball would be mostly contained under the rocks above (briefly....very, very, briefly) while liquefying/evaporating any tunnel support structures immediately within the fireball, while the seismic shock demolishes the means to support any tunnels beyond that distance. In short, gutting the supports needed to keep all that rock above the fireball's liquefying radius (plus the above ground portions of the prison), from crashing down into the huge hole left behind. IIRC, the movie portrayed Azkaban as taking up one portion of the island almost right up to the shoreline, with outer buttress walls actually forming sea-walls. In that case, if the whole prison collapses into the hole left, it very likely will collapse far enough 'down' that the ocean will pour in over the top, which is even more metric tons per square inch compressing the rubble downwards. Very very few things will survive a nuke, 200m-300m below surface cave-in, followed by billions of gallons of seawater....which is near boiling hot from touching the liquefied parts of the rubble mass.....all happening both around them and then on top of them.

Anything much beyond the Plym bomb (Operation Hurricane) is well into 'bad' levels of overkill (see below). In fact, likely even a 30Kt bomb would have minor detrimental effects felt by Ireland & the UK.

-=-

Tsar Bomba, while technically more efficient, as it really WOULD evaporate the island (and how) along with anything below it all the way down to the continental shelf itself (and then dig a little), the side effects are waaaaaaaay out of scale of what's needed.

There's a wonderful youtube video that many people like to use about Mariana Trench vs a Nuke, and how it wouldn't do jack on the surface. Most people forget that the video is only referring to a 1Mt blast at best. You could detonate the Tsar Bomba at Challenger Deep, and while the top of the fireball would still be about 1.7 miles below the surface....that's still 5 MILES of ocean that just evaporated. If you were directly above? You're still dead from the rising pressure wave. Or if say, you detonated it at the very foot of Mauna Loa/The 'big island' of Hawaii, on the sea floor of the Pacfic, the fireball would extend ABOVE sea by 1.9 miles (and very likely incinerate airliners overhead).

That's in the Pacific, at Hawaii at 3.1 miles deep. Or Challenger Deep at 6.7 miles deep.

Off the west coast of England/Ireland? Still on the continental shelf?

The average is ninety-five METERS deep. Which is shallow enough to cause a mega-tsunami.

You'd very likely kill every living thing in Northern Ireland, and take out a good chunk of western Scotland.

It's not, the North Sea is between Scottyland and England to the West and Norway to the East. The Irish Sea is between Ireland to the west and England/Scottyland to the East. The Irish Sea directly connects to the English Channel to the south and the North Atlantic in the north. If Arsekabob is in the North Sea then it is no where near Ireland.

I've heard both.

And even if it's in the North Sea, rather than northwest of UK/Ireland, it's still on the continental shelf. Azkaban is still supposed to be close enough to England that a Tsar Bomba level sub-surface event would still wipe out the coast of the UK facing it (combination of the thermal effects, pressure wave, AND the mega-tsunami), and actually would be even worse overall as those same effects would impact anyone on the northern shores of Europe or southwestern Scandinavia. That and you can write-off every single oil platform (that the Abyssals haven't smashed yet) in the North Sea.

If it's to the northwest or just west of the UK/Ireland, expect a casualty count of perhaps a couple hundred thousand deaths from a Tsar Bomba going off below Azkaban.

If it's to the northEAST or just east of UK/Ireland, expect a casualty count of a couple MILLION deaths from a Tsar Bomba going off below Azkaban.

Hence why Plym's bomb is much MUCH more likely to be used by anyone sane. At worse, if it was set to go off at low tide that day, you might see waves coming in that might reach high tide levels, out of the blue. Bad, but 'meh' in comparison.

Still doesn't matter because using that runs the non-trivial risk of starting a tsunami. In some ways the North Sea is much worse because if you do generate a tsunami and the Netherlands are hit....

Good news for Northern Ireland then, bad news for everyone else.

Needless to say, before any kind of nuke is used, they will do a lot of extensive modeling to figure out what the probable consequences are. Not least of which is 'what is the size of the steam explosion when seawater heads back in and hits the well above boiling point crater?' That kind of steam explosion was what did in Krakatoa after all (water intrusion hitting the magma chamber).

That really depends on a number of factors. For one, much of the coast is actually protected by fairly tall sand dunes, rather than much shorter dikes and levees.

It'd still do major damage though, and kill thousands.

Locational Accuracy IS Important, especially in stories like this that do their best to accurate with both cause and effect. Getting locations wrong can be kinda immersion breaking.

And where you drop an 80 megaton bomb matters.

The thing is that all we're given is... "Middle of the North Sea" for where Azkaban is located. That said? We're talking a twenty five kiloton warhead. The only aspect that might get to megaton range for it is the purification energy. And because the North Sea is so shallow, any possible tsunami from the collapse of Azkaban would actually run out of energy fairly rapidly. The Storegga Slide, which involved 3,500 cubic kilometers of material looked like this:
It literally went from nearly twenty meters, to about between six and three within only a couple hundred miles at best. And there is no way that Azkaban is equal to that.

This all depends though on how the Netherlands faired during blood week.

Let's not forget though the other options they have. You have a small island with little anti aircraft defenses. Bombing it with heavy bombers for a day or two wouldn't cause to many problems. Also I don't think any of the super heavies (Iowa class, Yamato/mushi, anything with BIG guns) would mind some gunnery practice. Speaking of big guns is Dora or Schwere Gustav still around somewhere? I think I remember them being summoned.

And as usual, Summer is adorable. And it is good to see more of this.
RCNAnon said:
Summer immediately let out an "eep" in surprise and sidled towards Ron, though she did not cower away like she used to. Acasta seemed unaffected like she normally was, though she stopped the wheelchair immediately and jerked the other abyssal slightly more awake, her eyes tracking over the group.

Ron immediately reached out a hand to Summer, placing it on her arm and she calmed down, though her eyes were locked on Jean-Bart.

"Jean-Bart, this is Summer. Summer, this is Jean-Bart. She's from France and she's asking us for some help with an engineering issue."

Summer's eyes immediately widened and the fear disappeared from them as she looked the French battleship over properly. Jean-Bart did much the same to Summer in turn, having to crane her neck up slightly.

"Hello Summer." Jean-Bart kept her voice as pleasant as she'd had it before, offering her hand to Summer. "I've heard about you."

"H-hello..." Summer took Jean-Bart's hand cautiously for a moment, more of a squeeze than a shake. "Uhm… can… d-do y-you mind…?" Summer glanced to Ron and then back to Jean-Bart.

Ron turned to Jean-Bart, who looked somewhat confused at Summer's reaction.

"Summer is… shy." He said in way of explanation. "Especially around new people. What I think she's asking is if you mind if she joins us." He looked up at Summer, who nodded in thanks. "She likes engineering problems."

@Sakuya's Butler, thanks for the crosspost for The Chart. I was looking over it again, and it struck me that there is a vital point that we've been skipping for a while. After all both Arizona and Smolzona deserve the acknowledgement of their shared love of the beloved doughnut, considering the great lengths both go to in ensuring an adequate hoard of the circular treats.

Yeah, when cobbling together character traits to build into Aki, we seemed to have settled on a mix of Phantom Menace Era Anakin Skywalker, and Young Izuku Midoriya. So he is a prescious sweetheart of a little boy, with a love of tinkering - sadly we've not had an opportunity to revel in that aspect outside of Hachiko mentioning LEGO sets being his favorite.

But yes: He's a good boy, best doggo-boy. He shall be a source of much D'awws.

Aki: Suzume-nee? What's wrong?

Suzume: *watching Moriko and Hachiko snuggle like doggos at a fire* Oh nothing you need to worry about little Aki-chan. Just a bit of jealousy that Moriko-chan's happiness.

Aki: What do you mean? *doggo headtilt*

Suzume: *sighs* Oh nothing. Moriko is able to find a very good man in your brother. I just wish I could find the time to look myself.

Aki: *very serious little boy thinking* Well, don't worry Suzume-chan! When I grow up, and you haven't found a husband, I can do it!

Surrounding girls watching:


"Kaaawaaaiiiii!!!!"

Suzume: *a little surprised, but smiles, laughs a little, and pats his little head* That is very sweet of you to offer Aki. But you don't need to worry about me. I don't need a husband to be happy, just knowing that my sisters have their happiness is enough for me. I'll be just fine.

Uzume: ...


*pulls out a calendar and an abacus*
 
Slowly waking up from his deep sleep, Harry blinked his eyes and glanced around his bed. From the light coming in the windows, he was able to tell that it had to have been at least eight in the morning. Which meant that he had likely slept more than twelve hours straight. Something that... did not really surprise him all too much.

Even now, he felt mental exhaustion from what had happened.

With a slight grimace from his stiff muscles, Harry continued to observe the room with half lidded eyes. Ones that he opened fully as they met red ones looking up at him from where their owner laid beside him, "Hoppou?"

Hoppou's eyes watered some before she practically leapt into his embrace and hugged him tightly, "Hoppou was so scared, Big Brother. Hoppou thought that you were..."

Returning the hug just as tightly, Harry nodded, "You were not the only one, Hoppou. I was worried as well for a bit before, well..." He just continued to hug her, "Well, I'm okay now in any case." Feeling Hoppou nod against his neck, he nuzzled her a little, "I'm fine, Hoppou. And I am still here despite their best attempt."

Just pulling back some, the Abyssal smiled softly, "Yes, Hoppou knows this and is glad."

And with that stated, Hoppou went back to hugging him as Harry rubbed her back through her dress. Feeling the bed shift, he looked up to where Nagato was looking down at him before she hugged him, "She's right, Harry. At this rate, you are going to turn my hair white."

Lips twitching, and wanting to lighten the mood a little, Harry chuckled as he returned the hug, "Well, then I suppose that you and Hoppou will match. Especially as I can't turn her hair white."

Huffing, Hoppou reached up and bopped him on the head with one hand, "Big Brother being silly. And Big Brother is going to turn Hoppou's hair grey from worry for him."

Lightly laughing, Harry gave her a kiss on the top of her head, "I try not to, Hoppou. You know that."

Yet again, all he got was a huff from her as she snuggled into him. Meanwhile, Nagato shook her head and ran a hand through her hair, "Perhaps, and in some ways that makes it worse, I suppose."

Right then, the door opened and Aeroprin walked in pushing a cart with Juuchi munching an orange with Kagotsuruhe behind her. Upon seeing him, the Abyssal Destroyer rushed over and joined in the hug, "Uncle Harry! You're awake! Awake!"

Smiling, Harry patted her back, "I am." When he turned towards her, the first sign for Juuchi that something was about to happen was the twinkle in his eyes. The second was that he was smirking at her smugly to a level equal to her own at times, "Good morning, June."

Absentmindly, Juuchi nodded, "Good morning, Master..." Suddenly realizing what he called her, she gave him a look that was equal bits of confusion and surprise at what she just heard, "Wait, what did you just call me?"

If anything, his smirk grew some more smug, "June, right?" Expression changing to mock confusion, he continued, "I mean, that is the name that you chose for yourself, right? Though I don't know why as Juuchi works fine."

For several moments, Juuchi boggled at him as she opened her mouth only to close it without saying anything. At last, she managed to do so though, "How long...?"

Practically dripping smug, Harry chuckled, "Since before Christmas actually." He jerked his thumb at Kagotsuruhe, "I remember her at the Quidditch match transforming and 'Kagome' was the older sister of a 'June'. One that was in Second Year, yet I have never seen before this year. Add in that when she came to help me learn to cast a Patronus, she had your blade at her side and admitted to being your sister? Well... her Kagome persona just looked slightly different. So it was not that hard to put it all together, which I did before Christmas."

Utter silence was all that was heard besides Juuchi's sputters. That was, until Kagotsuruhe gave him a thumbs up and a wide, though fake looking, grin, "Good job!"

Head whipping around, her younger sister glared at her, "Stop that!" Turning back to Harry, Juuchi threw her hands up into the air, "If you knew for so long, why didn't you say anything!? Not once did you hint and..." She paused briefly and she went over the few encounters with "June" that Harry had, and her eyes widened as she realized he often smirked smugly to her confusion, "I..."

Only shrugging, Harry's smuggness was now equal to some of Juuchi's more smug moments, "Why? Because I wanted to see how far you would carry it before actually giving it up." He then snapped a finger and winked, "And also because then I could not tease you when you were in sword form by eating blood oranges in front of you and treats that use them, such as chocolate blood oranges. All the time knowing that you could take on a human form and chose not to because you didn't think that I knew what you looked like."

Bringing up her hands, the Muramasa growled, "You..." Giggles made her sigh and slump as she looked to the side where Tsukiakari and Catherine had fallen backwards on a bed, "Et tu, Tsu-Chan..."

Eyes twinkling madly in mirth, Tsukiakari shook her head, "Sorry, Senpai. But it is hilarious."

From where she was beside her, Catherine smiled, "It truly is, Juuchi. And oh so fitting as well that something like that would be turned back on you."

Crossing her arms, Juuchi huffed a bit, "You would, Frenchie."

All the French sword did though was shrug with a beatific smile on her face before turning back towards Harry. She then bowed her head slightly, "Good morning, Master, it is good to see you in good health this morning after the..." For a few brief seconds, she seemed to search for something to say before shrugging, "The unfortunate incident yesterday. As for who I am, my name is Catherine, or the Sword of St. Catherine, if you wish to be exact. I was in the French Branch of the family in Normandy before the last of them fled to Britain with me."

Furrowing his eyebrows, Harry frowned some, 'Sword of St. Catherine... where did I hear...' Suddenly, it clicked as he remembered one of the livestreams that he had done with Naka. In particular, it was one that talked about how a number of video games had a character based off- "Jeanne d'Arc." Eyes wide, the wizard turned to the young woman with awe on his face, "You're the Sword of Jeanne d'Arc."

Rather pleased, Catherine smiled softly and part of Harry swore there was a glow around her hair, "That is correct, Jeanne d'Arc was my most famous wielder."

Confused, Nagato had a frown on her face, "Jeanne d'Arc? But... the Potters are British. How did they...?" It took her a moment before she blinked as she remembered something that she had said, "That's right, you stated that the Potters had a French Branch from your introduction, correct?"

A sigh escaped from the French blade as she nodded, "They did. One of Hardwin Potter's sons journeyed to Normandy when it was under Norman control and established a branch of the family there. When it was taken from the English, they continued to live there and became French. And they stayed there until what is known as the Hundred Years War when they were driven out by the English forces." Leaning forward, Catherine rested her chin on her hands, "Which was where I met Jacques Potter, who became the Page for Jeanne, my Mistress."

From there, she explained how Jacques had served Jeanne faithfully as her Page for the years that she was fighting for France. No matter what happened, he stayed by her side, believing in her. And how, after Jeanne had a vision of being captured by the English, she handed him her sword for safe keeping.

Swallowing, Catherine shook her head, "The poor lad was in tears at what was going to happen, at being told that Jeanne was to die at the hands of the English. For she had become more than a leader he would follow, she had become an older sister to him. I can remember my Mistress reaching down and gently brushing the tears from his face before telling him that she had no fear, for she awaited the Lord. And that one day, they would meet in Heaven for she knew he would grow to be a good man in the Lord's eyes as well as how she would always watch over him. But until then, he needed to watch over me and make sure to take me to safety for I still had a destiny ahead of me. Placing me at his side, she gave him a final kiss on the brow before placing him upon a horse that was to be his. And with a final few words as to where he would travel for safety, and where he would find a wife to continue his line, she had him leave."

Hoppou considered things before nodding, "She was a good big sister."

Lips twitching, Catherine nodded, "Jeanne... truly was. I suspect that it was for as much Jacques safety as mine, giving him such an important mission. That she had somehow foreseen that if he had stayed, he would have died defending her. And I believe that the two of them are in Heaven under His Light. Because as he drew his last breath, I remember Jacques smiling in pure awe and joy, Jeanne's name passing his lips as he passed his last breath. I could feel her in the room then, come to bring him to his just reward." With a small shrug, she shook her head, "Afterwards, Jacques built a family chapel where they resettled. And laid me above the alter there in a place of honour, while Jeanne's Standard was placed elsewhere and only brought out for special occasions."

Eyebrow raised, Harry frowned some, "Wait, how did you get to Britain then? And what about the story of how you were broken?"

A light blush crossed the sword's cheeks at that, "As to the second, that was not me. That was another sword that she had been given. It... had not been well taken care of before being gifted to her. In regards to the first..." Her expression darkened, "The French Revolution happened. As I am sure that you know, it was as bad on the magical side as on the non-magical. A rather large number of Muggleborn decided that since some Pureblooded nobles were problematic, all of them had to go and in a permanent manner. Hélène Potter was but all of eight years old when they attacked the Potter Chateau. She hid within the chapel and prayed before the alter for deliverance."

Smugly smirking, Juuchi snorted, "Which, from what I remember from when she arrived in Britain, she received in the form of you manifesting." Ignoring the blush on the other spirit's cheeks, she jerked her thumb at her fellow Potter Blade, "She demanded to know what the mob wanted, and was not happy with their response of killing Hélène for the crime of being a noble and nothing else, right there in the Church."

Glaring at Juuchi, Catherine frowned, "Yes, I was not happy. But I will state that I did not kill any of them."

If anything, the smug increased from the Muramasa, "No, I never said that you did. Now, making sure that they were unable to follow due to not being able to move under their own power? By beating them nearly to death? Well... that is something else."

Now deeply blushing, Catherine mumbled a bit, "It worked for Mistress Jeanne, and it worked for me." With a sniff towards the now chuckling Juuchi, she turned back to Harry, "As she was injured, I carried her all the way to the Channel. And then, well..." She blushed a bit again, "I can only hope that the Lord accepts my apology for stealing a boat to get her across to Britain and gives me forgiveness. For I had no other choice with magical mobs after us. She eventually married into the English Branch, making her you many great-grandmother."

Thoughtful, Harry looked out the window, "What happened to the French property anyways?"

For a few moments, Catherine was also thoughtful, "From what I recall, it was later bought by the French Malfoys. Until, that was, after WWII. Miss Lyra had Henry buy the property and was working on restoration until her death. I... am afraid that I am unsure what happened to it after."

Reaching over, the wizard patted her knee with a smile, "Still, we at least know that it is there and that is the important thing."

To that, Catherine smiled and placed her hand over his as she nodded, "Yes, that is true and also a wise way of seeing things. Perhaps one day, we shall travel there and see for ourselves." After a few moments, she pulled back and gestured at the cart that Aeroprin had brought in, "But before we go any further, perhaps it would be for the best that you have a good meal. Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day after all."

With a chuckle, Harry nodded as he shifted a bit and took off the lid from one of the dishes only to drool a little at the sight of the chocolate chip pancakes. Another one was lifted to reveal double chocolate muffins as well, and there was hot chocolate for drinks. Which he took without complaint. Somewhat to his surprise though, none of it was grabbed by Hoppou. Instead, the Abyssal kept cuddled into his side throughout the whole thing.

Once he was done though, he had Pomfrey appear from seemingly nowhere and scan him. After a few moments, the School Medi-Witch was pleased by what she was seeing and nodded, "Good, it does not seem like there has been much issue with what has happened, Mister Potter. But still, take it easy for the next few days."

With a final and pointed look, she left. Looking around, Harry frowned some, "Where's Sirius?"

A cough made him look over to where Nagato had an amused look on her face, "Sirius is in another room. Isley finally received word as to what had happened and arrived earlier. Not that she was too pleased, and she took Sirius into a room with privacy spells to have a talk-" The door opening made her smirk, "And I think that he's just returned."

Right then, Sirius stumbled in with a slight groan as he rubbed at one red ear. Seeing Harry was up though, the former convict perked up and made his way over, "Your awake, Prongslet?"

Bemused, the teen grinned, "I am, and it seems that you have been for a time as well."

Simply sighing, Sirius gave a weak laugh before running his hand through his hair, "Yeah, I am." Flopping onto a bed, the older wizard gave a sigh, "Harry? I'm... sorry. For what happened." Seeing the confusion, Sirius shook his head, "The Dementors were after me and it was because of that you got caught up in the whole thing."

Just as he said that, a fan whapped him on the head. Blinking in confusion, Sirius looked at Harry as he pulled back his hand with the folded fan in it, "You got nothing to apologize about. Literally, it could have happened anywhere."

Eyebrows furrowing, Sirius frowned some, 'Where did he get that fan from...?'

Meanwhile, the thirteen year old continued, "Anyways, at the least we're all safe in the end." He gave a small nod to Isley who stood in the doorway before frowning, "Uh, everyone is okay, right?"

Despite wondering where the fan came from... and where he had put it, Sirius nodded, "Yeah, everyone is okay though a bit shaken... well, except for the Dementors. A lot of those are ash." Eyebrow raised, he gave Harry a look of interest, "Where did you even learn that?"

Harry just shrugged some, "Learned it from my Senseis for Onmyoudo. I wasn't even thinking much for the last one besides... calling out the biggest guns possible."

Intrigued, Nagato now turned her attention to that, "Who did you call upon anyways?"

Shifting a bit, the black haired teen frowned, "Well... one of the things about higher levels of Onmyoudo is that you need to call upon spirits or higher beings. So I decided to call upon the one Kami that I figured would be the biggest guns possible." At their looks, he continued, "Amaterasu-ōmikami."

After a moment of thought, Nagato nodded, "Yes, I suppose that makes sense. And she would despise Dementors to no end for what they represent."

His arm going around the waist of Isley who had entered and sat beside him, Sirius took a deep breath and let it out, "So... what are your plans?"

Glancing at Harry, the Battleship frowned, "To be quite honest, it is something that Albus and myself have been discussing. It is not impossible that Harry will get off from Hogwarts a week early for Easter Break." She reached over and ruffled his hair some, "Which, of course, means that he won't miss Hanami thankfully."

That caused Harry to smile a bit.

Now I'm thinking of making a similar chart for a fic I'm writing. Yay.
 
From the stuff I looked over briefly, Azkaban apparently is in the middle of the North Sea, which is...well, a bit of a problem. It means that the Dementors have free access to Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and Germany since they can fly to the United Kingdom in numbers.

I wish you all the best Boss Kaiju as you figure all this out, because while Azkaban has a...deal with the British Ministry of Magic, it does not mean the same deal has been struck with the other Ministries or that they even wanted anything to do with the fortress in the first place, making the MoM's position on the matter even worse.
