I guess.
[ technically? ]
So you left the package on the doorstep, huh?
What are you going around dropping stuff off for?

Yeah, of course the powdered chocolate and sugar tastes good; he could ask a five-year-old and get the same answer. No doubt he would also most likely find a five-year-old eating cocoa powder out of the packet like a fucking cave troll, rather than a self-described 'final boss' who calls himself an adult.
But Dabi has little interest in actually policing what his 'roommate' eats, even though he fully suspects Shigaraki's diet consists of a dozen bags of chips a day—he comments just because he can, and because it gives him a small jolt of rare satisfaction to point out someone else performing an utter fuck-up of a human being. He's otherwise fully prepared to leave the man to his own euphoria, shoving fingerfuls of sugar into his mouth, but to Dabi's mild surprise, Shigaraki is actually prompted to move. Raising an eyebrow, Dabi watches as Shigaraki—with apparent displeasure—shuffles past him to the kitchen, and follows with some amusement.
"Don't blame me," he drawls to Shigaraki's back. "I ain't twisting your arm to make you drink it."
Dinner is a good incentive to leave Shigaraki alone. The takeout containers have haphazardly been left out on the counter, some with flaps open for Dabi to visually sort through their contents while the other man does whatever he has in mind. Make his hot cocoa like a normal person, perhaps?

It's your birthday today. I'm going off visual queues to try to figure out how old you are. It's got to be somewhere in the 50's nearing 60 right?
[ it's his fucking birthday???? ]
Wrong day.
[ yes, it's worth lying about it. ]
Wrong day.
[ yes, it's worth lying about it. ]
Sometimes your lies are interesting so I'll humour you. What day is your "actual" birthday?
You don't need to know.
[ like you don't need to know his real name and shit. ]
[ like you don't need to know his real name and shit. ]
No, I don't need to know. I already do. But let's say I didn't, does that mean I could just make one up?
[ saying "how did you find out" is definitely too much of a giveaway, as much as Dabi wants to know. ]
No.
But that definitely wouldn't stop you, would it?
No.
But that definitely wouldn't stop you, would it?
Not really. Nothing does once I put my mind to it. Even if it is your birthday, we have opportunities out there. Even more, so take a rain check. You can blow out candles another day.
[ ok, so there's only one place this is going. ]
What do you want?
What do you want?
lmk if you'd like me to find something else for him to say <3

Considering you're not allowed in my room, I'm assuming you haven't opened my closet door. I found an exploit, a bug in the code. Stupid question, because I'm sure all of us would say yes, but: How would you like to be able to change the present by changing the past?
[ ... ]
Yeah, you mean "time travel" right?
Cut the enigmatic shit. It's all the latest buzz on the network.
[ he knows you stalk it, Shigaraki. ]

[Rude, he does nothing of the sort. Cough.]
You really must be up there. You're already in the bitchy years.
You know what I want. Go back and figure out how to make the present a little easier on the rest of us. I'll be going myself, but I want all hands on deck for it. Things here don't seem to happen in more than spurts and I don't want to waste the opportunity. That includes anything to do with the technology of the porter that we might find in infancy.

Then that's bad news for you.
Messing with time travel sounds like a pain.

If you wanted to make money that'd be easy enough, since you could just put some investments in the right place and watch them grow.
It's different if you wanna try and influence people and have it last for 30 years.
[ looking into the Porter might be doable, but he doesn't want to promise anything right off the bat. ]

So 'yes'. Yes is the answer. Yes as in minimal effort not yes as in you're going. You're getting lazy in your old age, but you're right on the money.
[Pun and entendre intended.]
Go or don't, it's always been up to each of you. All of this effort doesn't need to last 30 years if it's something that's come back after 30 years as long as it's big enough. Retro is in, didn't you know?

Shit you got a whole manual on how to game time travel?
Sarcasm dully noted.
[And a second text shortly after.]
I'm at least going to try. That or you've got to anticipate any room you walk in to housing a thousand people invited to your surprise party and I was the decoy. 998 of those people being Twice.
One of those two.

Sounds like a massacre waiting to happen.
[ does he mean clone-on-clone violence or that he would be taking out clones? who knows. both. ]
Fine, I get it. You want to do this thing.
It's not a bad opportunity, but I expect it'll be more complicated than bargained for.
