The word you're looking for is fun. "Fun". The massacre not the party. Do you have a favourite flavour for your cake? Insurrection wasn't a flavour so I'm at a loss.
[It's his party, he can cry how he wants to. There is no party, at least not yet, but he's going to have a go at making a poke at the idea.]
It will be, but anything like this isn't easy. If you want to get fat on the couch, just make sure shit here doesn't go sideways with our starter area characters. I'll be back every third day barring that time doesn't line up, which I think it does.
[He has his reasons. Some of which are because they can have a level of normalcy, most of the reasons are to see how long and how much it'll take Twice and Toga whining for Dabi to come back to his own party.]
Since you won't tell me you're lying and we both know you are, I'll just have to go with it.
[As for the rest...]
I don't think that's ever been a problem for me. I'll make it work. Just keep an eye for loose ends, or leave me a note on the fridge. I'll take care of it when I get back if it's too hard for you, birthday boy.
[ oh boy does he wish there's a camera for him to look into like the office when he receives that second message. however, he is TOO NICE to list all of Shigaraki's fuckups for the sake of rubbing them in, though he seriously considers it. ]
Who knew you'd be so obnoxious about birthdays.
Gonna tell me what your plans are so I know where to look?
[That is nice. What a good, kind, heart filled gesture from a Samaritan and a philanthropist.]
You spelled "right" incorrectly. I'm only obnoxious when I know I'm right.
If I "fucked up" you'd know. But, since I'm a villain and also semi-self aware, I'll tell you. So far it's casing for opportunity. Maurita Falls isn't like it is now, so something has to start it. I'm going to start there and work my way back to De Chima, concentrate on those two if I can. Other than that, look for opportunities that'll make sure we have backing of more than normie jobs. Toga's settled down, but we don't have the leverage we'd need if she doesn't stay settled down. Other than the financial part, like I said, if I fucked up you'd know it.
That alright or do you want me to clean my room, walk the dog and water the plants first?
Let me make it easier since you've let yourself think this is hardcore mode. If it makes our life harder, I don't care who's fuck-up it is. Take care of it. You're not as stupid as you look. Pretend I said something encouraging about my faith in you to handle it. Make up whatever you want.
Steal a car. Get on transit. Flying. Unless air travel doesn't seem like a good idea depending on how America works it back then. There's other doors, too if I have to go to that extreme.
What does it matter what it means? I'm not taking a driving test, I'm taking a car. It's either barring something or a warning and I don't care which. If there's a building or a vehicle in front of me, I guess I better figure out which one is the break and how to turn the wheel of the car.
Sitting really pretty on your search engines, Dabi. If I was dumb enough to let a train OHK me, I'd deserve it. How do you not see a train coming right for you?
["Actually it was Large Heist 5 and racing simulators. What does it matter? You'll be here anyway." Is what he had originally in that little text box back at the insult, but. He seemed so adamant.]
I can't tell if you don't want me to die, or if you're really trying to throw my lack of driving experience in my face. Which one is it so I can reply properly? I crafted responses for both.
[That's not a fair response. How dare Dabi stop him in his textual tracks. Shigaraki should have thought that might happen, but he didn't.
Admittedly he thought there'd be a read and not a reply. He's got no carefully crafted anythings to either of the options. There's people who don't want him dead for their own means and then there's Dabi who they'd both tried to kill each other moment one. Then again, it's the same Dabi who Shigaraki would kill for now and the same Dabi who stuck with him even after there wasn't a huge reason. Even now, here, where there definitely isn't a reason.
A lot of typing, stopping, deleting and typing again and finally he comes up with:]
Twice is going to drive. I have better things to do anyway. Since you'd feel so much safer with anyone but me driving, if you feel the need to, instead of staying here, then you can come with us. If you kick my seat, I won't be held responsible.

[ 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.

I don't care.
It's not my birthday anyway.
[ that's his story and he's sticking to it. ]
Whether or not things seem 'fine' here probably depends on what happens in the past. Don't fuck up.

How do you plan on getting between Mauritia Falls and De Chima?

[Or you know. Have Twice help once he finds out.]

well.
excuse you mophead. ]
Depending on the scale of it you better hope there's more than one person doing damage control.
Didn't know you could drive.
no subject
Mophead. He gets this one.]I don't need more than one. You're fine. I wouldn't ask if I didn't think you couldn't do it. I'd do it myself if I wasn't in the actual past.
Why wouldn't I be able to drive? I've logged hundreds of hours in simulation. Gas, break, wheel.
[You know. Against AI, or Twice most recently.]

Good for him.
I'll think about it. Let me know when you've explored enough to jump cities.

I'll contact you. Just don't get in over your head on your own if it gets bad. You might want to see your next birthday.
