Miya: "I'm sorry, President Cordelia, but there is a small error by name for not including Lucia, and I am only a co-emissary serving the Admiral as a stay at home princess. Her Majesty Lucia will accept your message, but I don't have the same administrative privileges as her."
OOC: Mock battles are closed for now, but I am still accepting any new fleets until Jan 31.
OOC 2: Event will start in one week from now, sorties will close this Wednesday 8AM EST.
I no longer accept any more new fleets as of this time, and we now wait for the event to begin the following Monday. We will begin around the Solomons region.
Victory conditions: Attain three battles or the closest team reaching the required amount when the event ends wins. If sufficient time permits after three battles and the boss-sinking round in quick succession, a bonus event map will await you as a surprise, and if you succeed, you will receive a half-dozen super rare drops and a surplus of resources (fuel and ammo).
It is almost time, 8 hours remaining and then we shall set sail for the Solomons to do battle with the Abyssals.
Edit: And... We are ready to start the second Abyssal Fleet Event. First to 3 wins! Good luck, calm skies and fair seas, everyone. <3
Here's the map for the second event:
And a song to fit the theme when your fleet is on autopilot, too.
OOC: It has been a little over 24 hours since the event has started, so I'll just going to have to start the first pre-battle phase.

First Pre-Battle Scene:
Lucia thought to herself as she sits on her throne: The last time we fought this damn pointless war has to do with their intent to liberate the world of all evildoers, yet we are not evil, we are the people of the light shedding upon the darkness. What fools have dragged us into their ploy only contribute to their agenda, and they are the ones trying to consolidate their power over me.
Well that does it, we know their game all too well, we have sent spies without even knowing them of what we sent to their borders, we took their vital code breaking devices and incinerated it or flicked it into the sea. Now that we learn of our rivals' ridiculed laughs and gleeful remarks, it is high time this very Empire will strike back! They will soon know the very price for ruining the old ways from the Tokugawa Era, and they will all deserve to float slowly into nothingness.
And then Lucia Konohana decided to step out of the throne room and give a booming voice to the KanMusume at the Tokyo dry-dock.
Lucia Konohana: "ATTENTION! All right, listen up! We are still in a dire situation regarding the anti-Imperialist enemies we once thought as friends from the previous world war, but they do not accept our ways anymore. They want to rule their world with a fair hand and they are puppets of the soulless, corporate masterminds wanting to ensure a twisted vision of peace in the devil's eyes makes it to the masses.
You may not know it, but I better knew it, the Abyssals wanted to stage their all-out revenge where we are standing, but not on this very moment. What I know by now is that there is a secret route where we will transport our supplies in a hurry, and that requires being sneaky for some of you. What we want to do is to have these drums behind me carried over the barges so that our troops will conquer the islands east of New Guinea."
Tenryuu Kai immediately salutes and speaks with Lucia with such enthusiasm whilst remaining serious.
Tenryuu Kai: "Give us the sit-rep, your Majesty; our faces are just as prideful as yours."
Lucia Konohana: "Our troops have fallen short of needed ammo and fuel, and that is why we needed you to escort three of our role model destroyers to show them your capabilities in handling night runs."
Tenryuu Kai: "Then we will muster every bit of our muscle to give relief to your forces."
Lucia Konohana: "That's exactly what I am hoping for, thank you for informing. As of now, the waters east of New Guinea had been under a recent bleaching incident, it spread excessively fast for civilian vessels to turn around and were rusted before making back home. If you can't keep your wits about you, then the crimson waters will surely wither you down and turn you into these demonic beings."
Haruna Kai walks up to Lucia's left side.
Haruna Kai: "Your Majesty, we have the resolve to withstand the red algae blooms, our compartments were already sparkled thoroughly with disinfectants."
Lucia Konohana: "Once you're in their red waters, make haste to find and destroy the source before it spreads into Port Moresby. I don't want that anchorage there to turn into a dead zone for the next wave of canned rations to arrive by spring."
Haruna Kai: "No need to worry about that, we will take care of it."
Haruna Kai gives her a shoulder pat and walks back with the other ships facing the Empress.
Lucia Konohana: "All right then, get ready to set sail to Port Moresby and make it quick once you're there. We only have one chance to destroy the source and come back here alive. You are dismissed!"
End of first Pre-Battle scene.
< OOC: It felt good writing this. Replies might be slow - sometimes even once every two days - but I'd forgotten just how much I missed this. ^^ >
Rear Admiral Ivy Taylor had always considered herself a simple woman. She'd arrived in this world in the rather simple town of Winnfield, Louisiana, and though she'd had little choice in the matter, it'd pained her considerably to migrate so far from her roots. Throughout her childhood she'd displayed a rather simple manner of speaking, and those that knew her well would attest that this was preserved in her private dealings. She kept a rather simple aesthetic about her, wearing her flowing silver hair in a gigantic ponytail down to her knees, and didn't seem to mind the flecks of dirt, sand, and dust that clung to her navy blue uniform. Only in her eyes - those wide pools of glimmering gold - could one discern her true character. Throughout her time, they had been wide with joy upon her graduation from the naval academy on Lake Michigan, cast in a bow-shape amongst her friends and lovers, and sharpened to razor's edge during the Conquest of Canada.
Today, taking the podium before an audience of thousands, Ivy's visage took on an entirely new demeanor, one of cool confidence masking great excitement. The tropical sun rested heavily upon her head, bringing forth rivulets of sweat even as she fanned her face with her officer's cap. Officers and Fleet Girls from nearly a dozen countries awaited her eagerly.
"... Alrighty then! Let's get this show on the road." Ivy spoke, cracking a wide, toothy grin. "Welcome, one and all, to this year's Western Pacific War Games; hosted by the United Socialist States of North America, and the Greater Japanese Empire. I am Rear Admiral Ivy Taylor, commander of the North American naval detachment for the duration of this exercise, and joining me today is my second, Commodore Natsu Nakamura."
Natsu gave a polite little bow towards their audience. "Thank you, admiral."
"Without further ado, I'll review the rules of engagement for the exercise."
< ... >
"Lastly, and this is delivered on the orders of President Thompson herself, it has come to my attention that some place little faith in the lasting alliance between our two countries. As long-time miltary liaison and active commander of the International Task Force based in Kure, I say this skepticism is unfounded. While it may be true that the world is not as we once knew it prior to the Crisis, by my mark we have emerged from it stronger and wiser. I may hope, that the concept of war - between any of our countries - seems absolutely preposterous."
Reactions varied upon national lines. The French and Brazilians found themselves quite ambivalent for one, but the Germans all shot collective daggers at the Fleet Girls from the new socialist state in Great Britain. And though Ivy chose to ignore it, she couldn't help but notice a burning anger brewing in the eyes of her second-in-command.
~***~
Several days later, about a hundred miles southwest of Guadalcanal, the North American carrier Lexington straddled the tranquil seas as the centerpiece of her formation. It was a damn fine day for their carrier operations - hot, near-cloudless, with a slight breeze from the northwest.
Lexington: "Ey Wisky, Any sign of the enemy fleet?"
Wisconsin, an Iowa-class sailing as escort at the head of the formation, closed her eyes and furrowed her brows.
Wisconsin: "Kingfishers ain't got squat. We'll keep looking."
Here California piped up. She was a tall, rather trim battleship clad in a black cape and a long white dress nearly down to her ankles.
California: "Whassa matter, Lexie? Eager to slap a Jap?"
Lexington: "Naah, not really. I just can't wait be home again is all."
Wisconsin: "Yeah, no maternity leave for Fleet Girls, eh? Them's the breaks I guess."
Lexington wouldn't even think of deserting, but from the outset of the sortie it'd been obvious there was somewhere else she'd rather be. Her chest was still swolen with milk, and she seldom went a day without looking at the photos tucked away in her wallet.
At last, the moment had come. Wisconsin radioed a set of coordinates to the fairies in Lexington's outfit, and the carrier aimed her Thompson high into the wind. The torpedoes slung underneath her Avengers were stark white with a magenta tip, indicating they carried paint rather than explosives. She waved them off as if they were her children too, and protected them with a wing of Wildcats lurking high above their formation.
< The opening North American attack wisely targeted the carrier Hiryuu, crippling her (in reality, coating her entire bottom half in magenta paint) with nearly half a dozen torpedoes. The destroyer Mutsuki was also hit by a stray torpedo, but remained afloat. Light damage was scored on Kongou and Haruna. However, Lexington underestimated the efficiency of Japanese combat air patrols, and as such could not prevent the "destruction" (again, coating with magenta paint) of a third of the three-dozen torpedo bombers launched at the Japanese task force. >
North American for this operation
NAS Lexington (CV-2) - Lexington-class Fleet Carrier - 90/90
NAS California (BB-44) - Tennessee-class Battleship - 75/75

OOC: I will go easy on your fleet this battle, no sinking this time, only heavy damage. Any heavily damaged ship of mine (25% health or less) will just limp back to the drydock for disinfecting and repairs. Here's the song for this battle, at least light-hearted to ease our mood, but still upbeat.
>Our fleet has arrived at the anchorage as ordered by the Empress, and we only got so little time now that the algae might soon spread if not taken action. We picked up a small trail of the red algae, not dangerous yet, but Kongou ushered in with speed to follow it southeast and then north where we will meet up with our first hostile contact.
>We are still in blue waters now, so we do not take morale damage. Kongou and the rest of the small fleet switches to white and red coating, white for small and medium shells, torpedoes, and aircraft fire, and red reserved for the big shells. Unfortunately, the amount of paint we have is very limited and we have to do it precisely.
>Once we get into the red waters, then we know things get very dangerous. For now, Kongou will take the lead in the diamond formation and see what she can do in this kind of battle.
Kongou Kai: "Engaging... FIRE!" (Battle start line, she will not fire until the second shelling phase starts, same with Haruna Kai)
>Hiryuu is too damaged for planes straight away; she won't do anything but just sit tight this round. Any more than this, and she will limp back to dock.
Hiryuu: "Not even worth the first 30 seconds of being victimized here, I'm waiting on the rest to take care of them for me, ugghhh."
Tenryuu Kai: "Too scared to speak, huh? Take this!" (She replies to the carrier)
>Tenryuu begins the attack with her opening torpedoes, launching five into Lexington that just crippled Hiryuu and it hit her enough that she's limping. Her turn is then finished.
>Mutsuki is next, her sister is a bit worried about her, but since paint is not lethal, it would not matter much.
Kisaragi: "Come on, sister, we just been under a minute in the match!"
Mutsuki: "I have your back, nyaaan? Ehehehe." <3
>A split second decision from firing the torpedoes too or take another hit is all on her, she now performs the first dance of the fight. She twirls around like a spinning top that other destroyers would like to compete and launched five on the Iowa-class Wisconsin. Kisaragi at the same time does the same, but on the Tennessee-class Calfornia.
Mutsuki: "I have torpedoes in my pockets, fufufuu, take it, nyaaaa!" (Launching the tubes)
Kisaragi: "Fall in love for the admiral, fufufufu!" chuckles (Launching the tubes milliseconds after Mutsuki)
>Out of all of the torpedoes fired, Mutsuki missed two on her intended target but instead of exploding, it floated downward. California took 30 and Wisconsin took 45 from the white-coated torpedoes.
>The opening torpedo phase is now done, and the first shelling phase may now begin.
Kongou Kai: 288/320
Haruna Kai: 305/320
Tenryuu Kai: 75/75

Hiryuu: 24/50
OOC: Inactivity in this second shipgirl event is forcing me to do a time skip until a later time.
Recalling all shipgirls from every nation to return to their bases.
OOC: Some time has passed, unfortunately, but it may seem only like barely a couple months RP-wise, and I sadly have to confirm that my side lost the chance to put a tight grip on Midway Island. Initially, the outcome was inconclusive, until after the timeskip did I confirm the key loss, as expected. Now, thanks to recent drastic changes in map generation and RNG mechanics all done by none other than Azgaar, the man behind the best fantasy map generator in the world, I manage to recreate the Pacific Theatre map in an almost 100% accurate depiction. Although still WIP because I haven't put the nations, military regiment placements, and locations yet, the map is nonetheless partly done. I'm still working on it as best I can. Religion and culture will not play a role in any way, Pravda and Australia will play a minor role unless otherwise noted.
Because this time around, instead of relying on individual fleets to roleplay around with, we now have to control more than just fleets, we control the use of units on the map. All of the RNG mechanics and the usage of military units is already detailed upon visiting the generator map by clicking on its associated Reddit threads, one for the simulator itself and the other on how the military works. It may sound like a long lecture to us, but understanding these new mechanics puts us much closer to the actual game itself, and we will be taking turns in area control strategy. The population of the map is quite sketchy at the time, so I used the 1939 census, so the numbers aren't going to be 100% accurate.
This is the current state of the map right now, note that it is still W.I.P. but the whole heightmap is at least finished. Sydney is not included due to it cut off, making Brisbane its closest city becoming a capital for Australia instead. San Francisco in the U.S.A. will be its capital unfortunately too because the map is focused around the Pacific. 
Don't worry too much on the rivers, the river system is a big pain on my end and I'm not good at making rivers.
OOC: Ok, the map is all done with everything setup correctly, only major drawback that is prohibiting us from using it is the unusual file format and I'm the only one that can change it since it is indeed my creation. Since battles are automated, we may have to narrate something of where we think our own units need to go, and then I let the generator on my end do the rest, which means the RNG factors will randomly pick a battle type and the outcome. The vast distances between the islands and mainland continents mean that units will use up turns moving some miles/kilometers. Just don't expect anything 100% canonically accurate to match, and thanks to its rescuing feature in case something goes wrong, I can just reload the map to where we are and try to look for a suitable outcome based on our own narrations. All we're doing now is narrate our units' lives and let the generator handle all the battling mechanics. It is simple as that, unless I find a better solution of sharing the map, until then, this is the way we're resorting to.
Beware of the possibility of night battles, if a night battle is likely, that means it is telling me to darken the water color to midnight blue to resemble Kantai Collection's night map mode, if not, then the water color stays as is in light blue.
Here's the finalized map, beginning on August 6, 2042:
