Freetime was upon us, and I found myself in the lounge with Kamada, the Super High School Level Mime...Awkward silence takes on a whole new meaning in the presence of this girl. But I’m used to doing most of the talking anyway. After some one-way chats, she gestured curiously at the phone case on my waist.
Yonamine: You wanna see my phone?
She shrugged in a way I assumed meant ‘Sure.’
Yonamine: Here you go. You’ll have to take off your gloves though- It’s a touch screen.
Kamada gave me a strange look as though I just delivered a bad joke. Then she shook her head side to side and pulled her gloves on tighter. Mimes.
Yonamine: What, can you really not take them off?
Kamada: …
Yonamine: Not even while you sleep, or in the shower, or…?
She graced me with a deadpan stare and nodded slowly, wringing her perpetually gloved hands.
Yonamine: Oh…. well, then, I’ll just show you. This’s a top of the line phone right here. The Cyborg CIX. Heck, it isn’t even technically released yet, but I’ve got friends in high places thanks to my job. I busted my ass for a month to buy this bad boy. HD picture and video, 32 GB of space, sleek and stylish design. Probably one of the best phones that’ll ever--
Kamada: …
It wouldn’t turn on.
Yonamine: Whaaat! Is it dead?
Yonamine: I don't think I have a charger…
Kamada: !
She gasped dramatically before regaining her blank composure in a matter of seconds.
Yonamine: Hmph...
Her expression softened, as if her eyes were trying to tell me ‘sorry.’
Yonamine: Oh, don't worry. Haha. It’s not your fault!
Kamada: …!
Suddenly her expression changed once more to that of a girl on a mission.
She grabbed my arm and started dragging me toward the fireplace in the lobby
Yonamine: ...Any special reason you want me to come here?
She pointed at me, then the cold hearth. She started waving her hands around in a way I can only assume was supposed to represent fire. It was pretty amusing to watch.
Yonamine: Are you cold? Because I can help with that.
Yonamine: I know a special way to warm people up.
Kamada: …?
My attempt to catch her off guard only confused her. I should just let it go. She shook her head no and pointed at the logs again.
Yonamine: What? It's just a bunch of firewood.
Kamada: …
She stomped her foot a little, rolled her eyes, and then started rubbing her arms as though she was cold.
Yonamine: Didn't you just say that you weren't co-...
Yonamine: (sigh) Oh, never mind.
She stood by silently as I attempted to find a lighter. Then she shot me a skeptical look and started rubbing her gloved hands together.
Yonamine: I can't make a fire with my bare hands! I wasn't a boy scout.
She huffed and planted both her hands on her hips indignantly. I only felt it was appropriate to do the same right back…. I was mimicking a mime.
Kamada: !
Looks like I hit a nerve! But she insisted, pointing stubbornly at the fireplace and back to me again.
Yonamine: Hmmm… Ow!
She punched me!
Yonamine: Hey, what was that for?
Kamada: ...
Looks like Kamada really wants a fire...
Yonamine: Okay, geez, I get it! But I can't find a lighter, so I don't know how we're gonna get this thing lit.
Kamada: …
She made the saddest frown I’ve ever seen...I can’t even tell if she’s acting, either.
Yonamine:...Hm, What’s this?
There was a small switch beside the hearth. I flicked it on.
-FWOOOM!-
Kamada: ...
Yonamine: Aha! Well, would you look at that. Are you happy now, Ka--uh...
Yonamine:…
And... she’s gone. I sighed and sat down by the fire. Might as well leave it on, now. … Just as I was settling in for a fireside nap, she appeared out of no where with a sharpened skewer in her hand.
Yonamine: YeeEEE--!!
Kamada: …?
As I was recoiling in terror, I noticed a bag of marshmallows and chocolates in her other hand.
Yonamine: Oh….
Yonamine: Hahaha! Wh, where’d you find those?
My heartbeat returned to its normal pace as Kamada started mimicking a chef frying...eggs? Pancakes? I’m not really good at this… She finished her charade by straightening out the invisible chef hat on her head.
Yonamine: Haha. I get you.
She smiled pleasantly, probably just relieved that I actually understood her that time. She sat down beside me and started roasting her marshmallow in complete silence. I followed suit, sticking mine directly into the fire, the right way.
Yonamine:….…. -cough- So, Ka--
My marshmallow slipped off the skewer and landed with a sad squish.
Yonamine: Oops.
Kamada made that really sad face again, only this time I could tell she was faking it. I think.
Yonamine: Eh, it's fine. I'll just get another one!
She placed her own between two graham crackers and held it out to me.
Yonamine: Hm?
Yonamine:Really? Hey, thanks--!
-CRUNCH-
Yonamine: Huh?!
I swear there was a twinkle in her eye as she downed her s’more.
Yonamine: -fakes tears- That was cruel. You should be ashamed.
She handed me the marshmallows without a hint of emotion. Man, this girl is impossible to read!
Kamada: ...
There it is again, that vacant stare. I wonder how loud it is inside her head. She started to make another s’more, only this one she stuck straight into the flames. Suddenly she pulled it out, revealing a perfectly half-burnt marshmallow.
Yonamine: How did you even-
Kamada looked at me seriously and pointed at her creation.
Yonamine: What about it?
I grew nervous as her vacant eyes bore into mine, waiting for me to understand.
Yonamine: Are you trying to tell me you're some sort of marshmallow goddess?
She huffed with frustration once more.
Yonamine: Because I have never seen anyone burn exactly half of a marshmallow. That's impressive.
Once again, she pointed at the marshmallow before setting it down. Then she stood, and…
Yonamine: Wh-- hahahaha, what are you doing??
I swear, she was waddling around me in circles and flapping her arms as though they were wings. She came to a stop facing me and silently laughed jovially.
Yonamine: Is that...
Yonamine: supposed to be Monoguin?
A true smile spread across her face and she nodded vigorously. I couldn’t keep myself from laughing at her ridiculous display of feathered evil.
Yonamine: I -ow!
She slapped my side; apparently this was a serious matter.
Yonamine:You sure do hit a lot, y'know that?
Ignoring my comment, she pointed at herself, then me, and promptly plucked ‘Monoguin’ off her spear and chucked it into the flames.
Yonamine: ...What, do you want the two of us to overthrow Monoguin?
Kamada: !!!
She frantically put her fingers over my lips before smacking me a little again.
Yonamine: Okay, shhh, I'll be quiet.
Yonamine: -leans in-
Yonamine: But really, if that's what you're getting at, we're dead if he catches us.
Her eyes remained steady as she held out a hand to shake on it. I smiled and took it.
Kamada: ….
She nodded curtly and turned her attention back to the s’mores nonchalantly.
Yonamine: -taps their marshmallow skewers together and whispers- FOR REBELLIOOOON
She smiled at me in a thankful way. I bumped shoulders with her and grabbed another marshmallow.
???: Ding dong dong doooong!!
Monoguin: Alwhite, you abominables!! It’s offish-ally night time. You know the drill! Brreheheheehe!!
...
We both shared a frown at Monoguin’s totally mood-killing announcement.
Yonamine: -sighs-
Yonamine: Guess we should hit the hay then before the dumb bird comes after us, eh?
Kamada shook her head stubbornly and stared into the fire despondently. I stood up and offered her a hand.
Yonamine: C'mon, we can't overthrow a bird if we end up getting locked away for breaking the rules.
My charming words had no effect on her as she refused to comply.
Yonamine: -groans-
Yonamine: Okay, then.
Yonamine: -starts walking away-
Yonamine: -then turns and swings an arm around in the air and gestures towards Kamada, as if throwing something!-
Yonamine: -begins pulling on the invisible rope-
She burst into a silent fit of laughter as she watched my amateur charade. Reluctantly she played along, standing up and moving as though I were dragging her away in a lasso.
Yonamine: I get that I'm no Super High School Level Mime, but I'm not too bad, right?
She pursed her lips and shrugged, despite the fact that her arms were ‘bound’ to her sides. I tried to make a convincing pout, but a laugh came out instead as I removed the invisible rope from her shoulders. She dusted off with a smile.
Yonamine: Alright! Now bed. See ya!
