CH Introduction (1/2)

Introduction

Let’s make the naval base!

At last, the preparations are complete, and it’s nearing the start of the session.

In the introduction phase, we will have to choose and determine many things, so please don’t forget about those choices and continue.

First, is the naval base name.

TTK: Since we already finished the preparing stage, I’d like to start the introduction phase.

Zuihou: What’s an introduction phase?

TTK: As it says, it’s about setting up an introduction to the story. We’ll explain the situation and the stage of the story, and there are many things we need to decide. It’s that kind of preparation.

Zuihou: Ah, I understand.

Kongou: As for the stage, of course according to KanColle, it would be the naval base, right?

TTK: Yeah. So, I’d like everyone to imagine what kind of naval base would you like to be in…

Zuihou: Like Yokosuka naval base, or Kure naval base?

TTK: Well, if it’s according to the original game, yeah. But in this game, there can be any other type of naval base…… like a hot spring.

Zuihou: Hot Spring?! (laughs)

k.u.mano: Ah, you’re talking about the navy base where Yuubari is, right?

TTK: Yeah, like in one of a replay in [Chakunin no sho], the s.h.i.+pgirls live in a navy base called [Fujimi dream hot springs].

Kongou: It’s Mr.K’s game… maybe he rolled the dice to pick the name.

Zuihou: Pick a name by rolling dice?

TTK: There’s something called [Naval Base Name Pick Chart]. By matching what number we roll with the words on the chart, we make a random name.

Zuihou: Eeeh… Interesting…

TTK: Now everyone, please think what kind of name would you like to give as the naval base.

Kiso: Well since we can choose by rolling the dice or talk about it, I don’t really have any problem with both method.

Zuihou: Ah, So it’s not like we have to use the dice?

TTK: It’s all up to you… so which method would you like to use?

Zuihou: Since it looks pretty interesting, I’ll go with the dice!

k.u.mano: I’m okay with it.

Kongou: Let’s roll it!

So, we choose the name by rolling dice.

TTK: Without further ado, lets roll the dice.

Zuihou: I’d like to try it! Can I be the first?

k.u.mano: Sure sure.

TTK: Okay, Please roll the dice to 2D6, Zuihou.

Zuihou: Okaay! (roll roll)….. 1 and 5… so 6?

TTK: Yep. Well, 6 are… [pillow talk list], [place name list], [organization name list].

Kiso: So from these 3 list, we’ll roll the number and match it with the word in the list, then connect them to become the naval base name.

Zuiho: Hehe…

Kongou: Okay then, I’m next…

TTK: Then Kongou, please roll it to D66 in the pillow talk list.

Kongou: (roll roll)…. 3 and 4… 34…

TTK: The 34 in pillow talk is….. s.h.i.+nsei .

k.u.mano: s.h.i.+nsei? As in Holy?

TTK: Yeah. The Holy s.h.i.+nsei.

Kiso: Then, it’s Kiso’s turn now… (roll roll)……. 34.

TTK: 34 in [place name list] is… Rabaoru.

Zuihou: “Holy Rabaoru!” Cool!

Kongou: It has a good sound to it…

k.u.mano: Now me.. (roll roll)… it’s 34 again…

Kongou: Oh? Everyone got the same number!

k.u.mano: Unbelievable! (laughs)

TTK: Hmm.. the 34th in the [Organization name list] is…. Hatoba (wharf).

Zuihou: Hatoba?! (Wharf)

Kiso: Connect ‘em all, and we get “Holy Rabaouru Wharf”.

As if waiting for the last word, laughs break loose and filled the room.

Zuihou: It was so cool just now! Wharf ruined it! (laughs)

TTK: It suddenly became a world of Enka [1]!

k.u.mano: That addition is really working!

Kongou: I can feel the j.a.pan’s stormy sea.

TTK: Wharf, j.a.panese sea, and Kanmusu. Isn’t it good? It would be a really great picture.

Zuihou: …… It just feels so chaotic.

k.u.mano: Where is it?

TTK: (making confused face)

Kiso: Where? You mean Rabaoru?

Kongou: I think it’s an island down south… maybe…

k.u.mano: An island down….. south?

The 2 voice actors expression suddenly turns a bit cloudy.

TTK: Umm… well, we’re done with the name. Anyway, If you’re not pleased with it, you can roll again to find a more suitable one…

Zuihou: Eh? You can?

TTK: Each person who hasn’t rolled the dice in the category list, can change one part of the name.

Kiso: Well, in this case, it’s Zuihou.

Zuihou: If I can do that, then please, let me do it!

TTK: Well then, from those 3 words, which word would you like to change?

Kiso: You can pick whichever you like.

k.u.mano: Which one do you choose? (With eyes of expectation) [2]

Zuihou:Well, I think I’d like to use the chance to change the [Wharf]!

k.u.mano: Yeah! Thank you very much!

TTK: (is [wharf] that bad?) Then, please roll the dice!

Zuihou: Please give me your strength, everyone! (rolls)

Because of the re-roll, the naval base name changed into [Holy Rabaoru Security Office]

Zuihou: Ugh, it didn’t pick a foreign word..

k.u.mano: but but, at least it turned into a cooler name!

Zuihou: Really?

k.u.mano: Yeah. Look, [Holy Rabaoru Security office], doesn’t it have a European feel?

kiso: It doesn’t! It’s written there, [Rabaoru]! (laugh)

k.u.mano: Eh? (laugh)

Kongou: Maybe the one that made it a bit European-ish is the [Holy]…

k.u.mano: Yeah yeah! Kind of like,the Holy Roman Empire!

Kiso: Well… yeah.. (laugh)

TTK: Anyway guys, where is this Rabaoru [3] actually?

Kongou: It’s somewhere in South East Asia I believe. It was part of another country’s territory, but in world war 2, j.a.pan conquered it and build a base there.

Zuihou: Is that the rabaoru berth?

Kongou: Yeah

TTK: Wow. Kongou knows a lot about warfare too…

Kongou: No I don’t, My grandfather was sent to the south east front, so I knew a little bit about it..

Zuihou: ee, is that so..

Kiso: In our times, there are many cases of our grandfathers having to go and experience war. My grandfather went too, so I heard a lot of war stories from him..

The talk about “grandfather war stories” Continues for a while after that.

TTK: Okay, it’s about time we continue the game.

k.u.mano: Okaay

TTK: (while pulling out a piece of paper) Next, I’d like you to see this..

Zuihou: A Naval base sheet?

TTK: Let’s just think of thisas the naval base version of your kanmusu [4] spec card..

Kongou: :so we manage the data about our naval base in this card, right?

TTK: Yes. Just like the original game, it manages materials like fuel, and steel. Who can I entrust this management to?

Kiso: I’ll take the role of management

TTK: If you please.

Kongou: Are the materials available from the start?

TTK: At the start, there is 5 units of Fuel, Steel, Ammo, and Bauxite.

Zuihou: Since it’s kancolle, we will use it for equipment development and things like that, right?

TTK: Yes. You can use it to resupply and repair too.

Kongou: it really is [kancolle]..

[(roll roll) Is the mark of players rolling their dice.

Where’s rabaoru? Because the game and the real world is different, The rabaoru they know might be different from what it will be on the game.

Naval base sheet: A sheet with info about the naval base. You can meet NPC here, manage equipment abilities, and many others.]

Let’s gather a fleet!

TTK: Since we already named the naval base we’re a.s.signed to, the next step is introducing our kanmusu

Zuihou: Is it different than the first introduction?

TTK: This time, we’re going to introduce our character. My Kanmusu is like this, so her behavior is like this. It’s that kind of introduction
