*readies blade with flourish* Then shall we begin?
Interlude: DESS!
Kongou didn't have complicated goals. Survive the war, woo the admiral, drink as much tea as possible. All of these things came naturally to her, along with her secret shortcuts, but the thing that came naturally to her the most? Caring. It didn't matter who was in need, what they needed, or how to get it, if someone was feeling down Kongou was your gal.
However... these new girls seemed off. Nothing was wrong with them physically or mentally (Although some of their names didn't quite fit with what she remembered; She had gone through the American WW2 ship list and memorized it to ensure that a good first impression could be made), but emotionally... Something was wrong. Especially Arizona. She seemed... burdened. Almost as if she had too much on her metaphorical plate, but didn't want to say anything about it. It reminded her of her first admiral, Admiral Taichi. He was newly promoted after the Surgical strike on Japanese high command, and that was his first assignment. He was full of vigor, and drive to do his job. However, because of his rapid promotion, he wasn't prepared to deal with paperwork, and it crushed him.
After only a year and a half, he was found collapsed in the hallway. It was determined he had had a stress related breakdown, and emotional burnout. Afterwards, he was honorably discharged. Just before he left, Kongou had questioned the former Admiral. Before the incident, he had always been smiling. Kongou had never understood it, why smile so much in such a serious position? When she repeated her question to the Admiral and he replied "Why do I smile? Well, I smile because I am alive. I could be dead, I could have been crippled, or worse. In fact, I am crippled! I also smile because I know my family is alive. They are alive and out of harm's way, close to the middle of the island. But most importantly? I smile, because the only alternative is to cry. And this planet does not need criers, it needs laughers and screamers and Smilers. That, Kongou is why I smile so much".
And afterwards, Kongou decided to start smiling too, no matter the situation. It was also why she tried so hard to cheer everyone else up. She hadn't told anyone why she smiled, merely because no one had asked. And she would continue to smile, no matter what. After all, all you need to do is Smile, and the World will Smile with you.
(AN: Hopefully I didn't keep you waiting too long, I've never been good at writing prose. I originally tried for a comedy piece, but thought a look behind the mask would fit better. Regular turns will start up after this.)
Alright I changed it. Thank you for the heads up.@Captain.Cat Arizona is out at sea, so she can't train stats this turn.
Alright, I fixed it so we are having 2 refineries built.[X] Plan: Weapons, Leaders and Training.
Looks good although you should say how many refineries we're making. I think 2 is the limit since we have one empty spot left.
It never left good sir,it simply...went away for a while...
