037: Sound
There it was again: the annoying clicking noise that had been going on for the better part of a half hour. Dimentio gritted his teeth. 'That noise is going to drive me insane,' he thought.
A few more minutes passed, and Dimentio began to notice a pattern in the clicking. Wondering what it could be, he cast his mind back through his life to see if he had ever heard anything like it before. It came to him in a flash. What he was hearing was Morse Code. The question now was: Who was sending a Morse Code message? Dimentio thought for a little bit, and concluded that, however unlikely it seemed, Mimi was the one sending the message, and she was sending it to him, Dimentio. How Mimi had learned Morse, Dimentio wasn't sure, but he decided to give her message a chance. He began writing down the letters as they came over the clicking, and through sheer luck started at the beginning of the message. Here is what Mimi sent him: ARE YOU AWAKE DIMENTIO
Dimentio grabbed a metal spoon (why he had a spoon in his room, we can only guess at) and tapped out a message: YES STOP
After a short pause, WHY ARE YOU SAYING STOP came through. Dimentio responded with STOP TAKES THE PLACE OF A PERIOD STOP
AH was Mimi's response. A few minutes passed in silence, then Dimentio's ears picked up a new message: ARE YOU STILL MY FRIEND DIMENTIO
Dimentio sat back in his chair. Thoughts ran around in his head. 'Am I still Mimi's friend? Is she still thinking of me as her friend?'
Dimentio straightened up with resolve. He realized he hadn't been a very good friend. So, Dimentio decided to be better. He tapped out YES MIMI YOU ARE MY FRIEND STOP
THANKS
A/N: A bit of Out-Of-Characterness for Dimentio, but it was necessary for the plot. It was fun writing out Morse Code messages, and writing for Dimentio and Mimi is equally, if not more fun. As for the placement of this story on the SPM timeline, it takes place before Dimentio decides to betray Count Bleck.
