Of Ships and Girls and Shipgirls - a KanColle-RP (OOC)

[Sterkistan]

Lanza Blanca is a Pre-Dreadnought Battleship, played by Yekrenia, that entered the Sector a while back and rested until the night as she was running out of fuel. During the night, she tried to make her way towards our base, but was met by the Abyssal Supply Convoy, all of which we don't know about ICly, which she thought was hunting her down, thus making her spend her last fuel reserves and becoming an iron duck in the water, opening fire.
Originally, the Abyssals had little interest in her, paradoxically, as they didn't have the ressources to spend on hunting down an over-aged battleship and bring the convoy home safely.
With an Abyssal-Prince (Comet, played by the Assorted Saharan Outposts) and the Armoured Cruiser Hime (played by Mestovakia) engaged into it, although the latter broke contact, as well as a small destroyer force led by a Wa-class Transport Flagship (played by me), the Abyssal let their convoy pass safely, while Higashikawa supports LB in the battle, requesting aid - and aid is on the way, in the form of Rhiannon and Prophet, as well as already there in the form of Nevlamas and Whitney, the submarines currently being hunted for. LB is currently burning due to incendiary shells (nitrocellulose) being fired on her. Movie night has been postponed.
Additionally, it rains, making flight operations of any kind impossible.

EDIT: Did I miss anything?

Looks like you got everything.

Wait Prophet, why'd you deploy. You can't launch planes in the thunderstorm.

He was going to help tow the ship until he got leashed by Coriolanus.

As a fleet carrier you're a lot more valuable, so we can't have you be a big slow target especially when your deck is big and flat, and you can't give air cover.

I understand, but it seems like he's gonna get a visit from a Re-class, and without any backup.

Which is why he's supposed to stay close to base.

And I get that, and he is. Wait... Maybe prophet will end up getting a kill after all, since its clear skies in that area.

Sorry for the Spanish, everyone. I thought I might give an idea as to what's going through my character's head (my posts are in a First Person POV).

Side note, is it an honest mistake when your ship thinks of Higashikawa as a battleship?

Huh? Did I? Which post was that?

So sorry! Must've seen something wrongly.

Plus, to save Higashikawa, did I just fire a salvo of 16.7in shells at that Re-Class Abyssal Battleship in one of my posts? Because it seems that I've either missed or the post went ignored. I was trying to save your ship not friendly fire in that situation.

Hey Selkie, are we working upgrades in a similar way to the anime, where they get all glowy and fun and go for upgrade? Or it is applied as soon as it's approved, cause I've got those Miniguns to go on.

I dont know much about that, but Whona's got a mission.

To acquire alcohol and consume it?

nope, Coriolanus needs Whona to help in the rescue mission.

Awww WHAT! I was going to get shitfaced.

And it doesn't say that anywhere.

[The Cross and Davids Star]

And it doesn't say that anywhere.

Quoted from Coriolanus: I will be taking direct command of the response force to consist of Rhiannon, Whona, Searc, Lewis, myself, as well as Higashikawa.

Which would be this post.

Not exactly clear, but around the base (say in a radius of 100 km, not in range for the combat operations of the convoy battle by far) flight operations are possible. More dangerous then normal, but possible.
The main thing is, no planes in the Convoy Battle.

Remodels get glowy and to the docks, upgrades work basically as soon as approved.

All I know is that Prophet's either gonna tussle with a Re-class, or have a talk with Novaya.

Or both, depends on you three, really.

Selkie, I'm going to skip over waiting to get there so I can deal with the situation at base and start engaging right after, if you don't mind.

I don't mind, go right ahead.
Though, please keep in mind everyone, that I'll try to avoid to have any of my characters shoot at Abyssals played by me (Comet, Re and the Armoured Cruiser Hime, for example, are fair game, Wafa and her destroyers are not). I hope, that you all understand the reasons behind that...

[Legatia]

What's the current ORBAT for abbysals, if I might ask?

[Yekrenia]

I’m going to hold back with a post for now until everyone has caught up to speed with my character’s rescue. Any friendly units can go off of my latest IC post (Post 13) for a sense of direction.

[The Selkie]

What's the current ORBAT for abbysals, if I might ask?

Relatively simple, to my knowledge:

Prince Comet Group - ASO (breaking off the engagement, to my understanding?)
Armoured Cruiser Hime (breaking off the engagement, to my understanding?) - Mestovakia

Hime (breaking off)
Re the Re-class Battleship (on course to the Naval Base)
Wafa Group

Wafa - Wa-class Transport Flagship, used as destroyer tender (firing HE at Chrysantheme)
3 Late I-class ASW-Destroyers (engaged against Nevlamas and Whitney, though, spoiler for my next post, they lost contact and went back to firing incendiary shells at everything)
2 Basic Ni-class Destroyers (damaged)

Mestovakia, ASO, please correct me concerning your characters, if something's wrong.
Also, if anyone thinks of attacking the convoy, let's say, that it is a bit heavier then the group currently in combat.

I’m going to hold back with a post for now until everyone has caught up to speed with my character’s rescue. Any friendly units can go off of my latest IC post (Post 13) for a sense of direction.

Thank you, Yekrenia.
