Act One
Scene 2
A shady bar, Kamino Ward of Yokohama City. Noon.
DEKU confidently sits on the couch, his stature strong. TOGA sits next to him, smiling at him. TWICE stares at him from across the room, with something akin to acceptance. DABI is in the corner of the room, with two glasses—filled with water. SPINNER stands near the door of the bar, as usual. SHIGARAKI smiles next to KUROGIRI.
DEKU
(with intention) So! Have we decided? Shigaraki, draw up any plans lately?
SHIGARAKI
Yes. I have a plan. We’ll get a strong foothold this time.
TWICE raises hand halfway.
TWICE
(with excitement) R-Right. Uh—
DEKU
(acknowledging) Shigaraki! Your plan, explain it.
There is a pause.
SHIGARAKI
…yes.
There is a pause.
DEKU
Shigaraki, we’re all listening! All here! Let’s plan!
There is a pause.
SHIGARAKI
Yes.
There is a pause.
DEKU
Shigaraki! Shigaraki.
There is no pause.
DEKU
Guys! The reason we all met up right now was to discuss our days, right? Have we forgotten? Haha! Toga, how was your day today?
TOGA
Wonderful, like Jin-kun’s. We both went out and played a fun little game.
DEKU
What did that game happen to be? Tell us, we’re all interested!
There is no pause.
TOGA
Oh, nothing much. The usual. Found this lovely man with such cute hair! I borrowed just a tiny bit of blood, and until he could stand up, Jin over here became him so that he wouldn’t look suspicious when he—
TWICE
Toga, you always do describe with so much detail! That’s what makes you so… great! I think Spinner here is getting a little bored though. Aren’t you?
There is no pause.
TOGA
I get it.
There is absolutely no pause.
DEKU
(with appreciation) No. Actually, no! I’d love to hear about it!
TOGA
Of course!
There is a pause.
DEKU
(smiling) Toga.
There is NO pause!
DEKU
Guys! You guys, how are you all today, we haven’t even gotten to asking Spinner! Hey, Twice, you might’ve been right on that one! Spinner, you sure do look bored. What’s up?
SPINNER
It’s great, Deku! I’m so glad you asked!
TWICE
Wh-... S-Spinner, you…
DEKU
Twice, what’s wrong? Spinner seems fine… but you don’t. Are you okay?
TWICE
No. No, I’m fine, actually. Chilled with…
There is no pause!
TWICE
No, I’m great! I chilled with Toga today! It was so cool! Except, ah, it wasn’t! No, it was! No, it wasn’t! Sorry guys. NOT SORRY!
DEKU
(smiling) There’s the Twice we know.
DABI
…click.
PAUSE NO THERE IS!
DEKU
Dabi, of course! Don’t worry, we have’t forgot about you! How was your day?
There is a pause.
DEKU
(laughing) Classic Dabi! Gotta love you for that. Hey, guys, this has been great! Everyone’s gotta do their own thing now, as usual, so go ahead! See you later!
