There flows no soft blood here."You are the KMS Whittman a Roon Class heavy cruiser who serves the Crimson Axis Alliance with mind, body, and soul, without question. But what would happen if you had come out of coma after sustaining heavy damages af...
(Your eyes begin to flicker open, its warm like in your bed but something feels off about it. as your eyes begin to focus you see that you are in a traditional Japanese style quarters, you check to make sure that all of your clothing is still on. Relieved that you didn't do anything indecent, you gather yourself and stand up)
Whittman: Strange, I don't remember sleeping here, nor do I have any recollection of ever coming here. Strange times these are, I might as well look around for a bit.
(You begin walking towards the door when you hear footsteps coming closer and decide to wait. Akagi and Kaga both enter the room, looking quite surprised that you are awake.)
Whittman: I should have known, but as a quick question before anything else happens. What is this and why am I here instead of at Ironblood?
Kaga: I believe all of the answers you want are between you and Akagi.
Whittman: should have guessed, now then Akagi what do you want?
Akagi: It's not about what I desire, it's really about how your leader is not addressing the situation at hand. (staring you in the eyes)
Whittman: Wait, what situation are you talking about? (trying to play dumb, and get more information.)
Kaga: From what Prinz Eugen told the both of us, you suffer from plagued nightmares about your most recent defeat.
(you let out a sigh of defeat, they know about it now, so there's no use hiding it)
Whittman: (annoyed) So Prinz Eugen apparently informed you of something I spoke to her in confidence, I may need to have a meeting with her later to discuss the topic. Bismarck had nothing to do with this, if you would please excuse her from the topic.
Akagi: I will have to excuse my earlier assumption, I was not told that your leader was not informed of your mental state.
(you give Akagi and Kaga an disappointed stare)
Whittman: I thought the Sakura Empire would be a lot more well informed about their allies, but it seems that I was mistaken on that fact. I may need to revisit some notes from my homeland, but it would also seem that you were not informed about my every existence, am I correct?
Kaga: You are right, we did not know that Ironblood had acquired a ship as rare as you. The Sakura Empire never had any records about a male ship in Ironblood hands, but that is besides the point.
Whittman: Well you know now, but why am I at the Sakura Empire anyways? I don't remember asking to be brought here, nor do I remember getting here on my own.
Akagi: Well you were brought here to see if you could find an inner peace to put your demons to rest. (gives an innocent look)
(You shake your head with a face palm out of frustration, but you know that it would be rude to go off on a tangent. looking Akagi in the eyes again you agree to their mental "treatment")
Whittman: alright, you win. I'll do your "treatment", but I swear if any of you try something weird I wont hesitate to leave am I understood?
Akagi: Your demand has been made, and Akagi will honor it. (Akagi bows in full acknowledgement of the demand)
Kaga: Now if you would follow us please (her hand beckons you to follow close behind)
(While following Akagi and Kaga throughout the Sakura base you notice small destroyers relaxing while candy, you scoff at the idea until you feel something tiny hit the side of your leg. you notice the small destroyer sitting on the ground holding her head in pain, she looks up at you with tears of fear in her eyes as if she was about to cry her eyes out)
Whittman: [thoughts] [WHAT DO I DO I HAVE NEVER DEALT WITH THIS BEFORE!?!?!]
(Before you could even try to help a girl dressed in white naval attire with a katana on her waist belt and maybe dog ears arrives and helps the destroyer get back to her group. You look at this spectacle confused and unsure of what to do next, but the moment you turn to go back to following Akagi and Kaga ,who as of this time have disappeared, the girl is standing in front of you staring intently as if she was studying you with a smile on her face.)

Whittman: (surprised) Heilige Scheiße! Uhhhh.....you are standing a bit close for my taste.....could you please step back a few paces....
(before you could even react she hugs you out of nowhere, completely catching you off-guard)
Whittman: Was tust du? Bitte hören Sie sofort damit auf!
(attempting to to release her bear hug only made her hug tighter than before, as if she didn't want to let go of you for an unexplained reason)
?????: Do you not like big sisters hugs (playing the big sister role)
Whittman: I don't have any sisters, now please release me before you snap my spine in two!
(she reluctantly releases you, but she still stands there staring as if she wants something)
Whittman: what is it, you already almost took me out of commission, what more could you possibly want?
?????: Aren't you the new Ironblood heavy cruiser, the KMS Whittman was it?
Whittman: Yes I am Whittman, now then who are you? (trying to get information)
Atago: Oh where are my manners, I am Atago of the Sakura Empire. (she extends her arms as if to hug you again, but this time your rig responded and hissed at her, which made her jump back.)
Whittman: Nachtwächter! Behave, we are guests here. We do not threaten our hosts, even if they may almost snap my spinal cord.
you will have to excuse them, they don't normally act this way around people.
(Nachtwächter recoils to your side again but doesn't take it's eyes off of Atago)
Atago: well, they didn't bite so assume that you have good control over the both of them. While I'm here, I have never seen a ship like you before, are you a new ship girl?
Whittman: I'm actually the first male ship constructed to my knowledge, but please do not hug me again.
Atago: A male ship, I have never heard of such a thing. What is it like? (Her ears are perked up to listen to the details..)
Whittman: I'll tell you one thing......it's stressful being the only male ship, you really don't have a lot of friends to go drinking with so I keep to myself.
Atago: why don't you just drink with the other ships, it can't be that hard to make friends.
Whittman: when your potential friends are cold hearted killers, then making friends is not on my agenda.
Atago: I see, so you're just lonely.
Whittman: Oi, I said nothing about being lonely. I only wish to keep to myself, I do not like social situations.
