So it's almost Halloween, as I'm sure you all know. On its own, if we have decent, sane ships on this base, it'd be fine.
Of course, we don't have a single decent, sane ship.
Before I go into that however, I do want to mention that U-511 got her Kai Ni, and holy, is she different. My personal opinion is that Iku had some major tampering with her upgrades, but who knows. She's really extroverted and loud now, much like the aforementioned I-19.
She also got one hell of a tan.
But I digress. Halloween is nearly here. I think the Shiratsuyus are going as canines. Real original. I say this because that's what they've gone as for the last two years, and probably before that. Akatsuki have assorted stuff, I saw Ikazuchi with a skeleton jump suit, I'm fairly certain Inazuma literally put a pumpkin on her head, Akatsuki is going as her model person, a Victorian lady, where she got the dress I'll never know, and Hibiki has a very good Stalin costume. I hope that's not tobacco in the pipe, or Gangut's going to lose her shit, as she's always making her not smoke.
I'm not sure how, but Makigumo convinced me to go in the horse costume again. God help me. I'm fairly certain Akigumo's going as Michelangelo or Donatello or some of those people, Yuugumo a witch, Hayashimo and Naganami the twins from the Shining, no matter how much I told them they look different, they merely responded with "Redrum." Rest of them can't make up their minds, at least in my class.
Hiryuu and Souryuu are doing a two person dragon costume, which Unryuu was rather upset to not be a part of, Kaga is going as an onigiri, which I'm fairly certain she won't get through the night without Akagi trying to eat her costume. Speaking of Akagi, she's going as herself, which is confusing.
Kongou sisters are probably going as their obsession again, aka admirals, Tenryuu and Tatsuta have... some sort of weird master/pet thing going on with their costumes, kind of giving me a weird vibe, no doubt Tatsuta is the mastermind.
The germans are constantly spewing they will have the best costumes, as 'Ve have ze zooperior engineering, jaw.' Bismarck has one helluva Darth Vader costume, Graf is Luke Skywalker. I'm not sure whether to write U-511, or RO-500 as she insists on being called now in here, as I'm frankly not sure which group she belongs to. Lebe and Max are doing the Luke Skywalker/Princess Leia dynamic, which apparently has caused much ranting in German in Germany, as everyone calls the 1 story building flying the Kriegsmarine flag.
Then, there's the Americans. Iowa is going as Kongou for some reason I haven't the slightest of. Saratoga is wearing some kind of 'prairie dress' that apparently American women wore in the late 19th century. Nebraska is going as the guy from Tron, which makes absolutely 0 sense. That'd be like me trying to go as Sean Connery or someone. It wouldn't work at all. Then again, that ship is an oddity. 6 inches shorter than me, yet packs 50cm cannons. Yeah, I'm tall for a destroyer, but still. Whatever. Fletchers are going as a horde of zombies, which will be terrifying. There's 42 of them on base, and oh god. They also dominate the illegal candy market. I didn't know a Hershey bar could cost 34k yen.
I won't mention the submarines as I don't know what they're doing, but I'm fairly certain its some mass nude streaking, just like last year. I feel so bad for Taigei.
Zuikaku is going as a knight, Shoukaku as a princess, a cute combination. The Frenchies are dressed in Great War garb, for some reason Béarn and Teste are wearing Adrian helmets, Dunkerque and La Fantasque officer uniforms. I'm fairly certain all the training cruisers are going to wear black again, just like last year and take out all the bottled up rage they have with us destroyers out on unsuspecting ships.
I'm also fairly certain if Admiral Miwa is out of the hospital she'll be going as the Emperor from Star Wars. Good thing she isn't able to be blackmailed by the Germans.
I'm fairly certain Warspite, Prince of Wales, Ark Royal and the other Brits won't lower themselves enough to partake in this clusterfuck. To be honest, I don't blame them. Lake and Geneva are going to be in hell, aka the two UN peace keepers.
I think Inazuma Convinced Miyuki to put a bunch of fake blood on her torso, in a rather mornid representation of Miyuki sinking.
Shimakaze is going as Sonic. I'm frankly disappointed.
