----------
After giving Akatsuki the information she needed, John just kept doing paper work. After awhile of this and reading the material she got, Akatsuki volunteered to act as secretary for the rest of the day.
Most of the forms John had to deal with were relatively normal. Requisition forms for equipment, some forms for resupply to make sure there were enough resources to keep things running, and so on. Though the marriage forms were odd, those were passed off unsigned. Akatsuki got a bit red at seeing them, there was a bit of raised words between her and Kongou for a bit. But otherwise not much was happening.
It took about an hour or two to get the forms done. While that was happening all of the other ship girls were practicing, doing all sorts of firing practice and going through different formations so they'd be ready for future fights. Wisconsin was leading the gun practice, while Yamato was helping out Enterprise with practice for her planes. It was mostly uneventful and would continue for a couple more hours.
With the lions share of his work done, John decided to pop over to one of the nearby islands to get some lunch. Almost all thanks to some special coupons and discounts he would be getting.
"Okay, I'm gonna go out for a bit. Along the way I'm gonna grab some food. Just write down what you guys want if you want anything."
"Alright, what type of food do they-*John raises a sheet of paper with the menu on it*-ah, that will do."Akastuki says, before looking through the paper and writing down what she wanted. Kongou and WOsp follow soon after.
"So, off I go." And John was off after grabbing the papers and a jacket. A little later John asked the other ship girls the same question, which was followed by a short frenzy of them writing down what they wanted. With that done John joined one of the boats heading for one of the larger islands.
A few hours later, mostly filled with doing paperwork type things and getting an absurdly large order of food. John was on his way back, with a boat full of forms and food being driven by one of the bases crewmen snacking on some fries. When they got back,it took some doing but most of the ship girls got their food. It was mostly some cheap McDonald's burgers, and what not though. But Enterprise's reaction to the happy meal she got was quite nice, even if John questioned why Yamato had one of the crewmen record it with a camera.
John meanwhile went back to his office with a few bags of food, when he got there he put the bags on his desk and turned on the television in there. Kongou had some chicken, WOsp and Akatsuki however had burgers.
After the tv was turned on John tried flipping through the channels for something to watch, he settled on one of the local syndicates.
"Huh, I forgot they got a Bismarck for one of these. I still miss the special Expendables part of this add campaign."
"Hmm, what do you mean commander?" Akatsuki asked, wondering why the blonde ship girl was no longer riding a horse but wearing a jet pack.
"Oh, yeah that. Well add campaigns can be a bit different in some ways these days, some like to lean more towards the absurd or ridiculous."
"Ah...but what are they even selling?"
"Deodorant."
"...What is the point of such ridiculousness for simple deodorant?"
"Well, it works. And that's what will matter in the end."
"...The future is strange."
"It's certainly different to say the least." John said as the conversation reached a lull and the news came on. There was a thing on a retired Tenryuu opening a ship girl daycare, there even seemed to be a great deal of support. Though John wasn't sure how useful it might be, then again he also was never to involved with ship girls outside of the usual before now. At the least the segment implied that a large number of the younger ship girls would be watched over a little better.
After a few more smaller segments of the news, there was thing on one of those animal rights groups advocating abyssals to be treated as a protected species.
"Commander, what is wrong with some of these people?"
"They are in a number of cases out of touch with reality. And also in far too many cases think human lives are the least valuable types of lives."
"...That's sad."
"Yes, it is."
-------
While that was happening.
"Alright, so I Yamato shal deal with the accomodations for us all with the various new arrivals."
"You sure about that?" Wisconsin asked in the middle of eating burgers.
"Of course, it wont be difficult. Now give me a moment."
-----------------
I'm not too happy with what's here, I might come back and fix things later depending on what you all think.
