Makoto Date

⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ 「 伊達 真 ┆︎ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Date Makoto. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Police Detective. 」 ⠀

Face painted ghastly pale, stitches sewn across his features, yet still donning his usual gumshoe attire. Perhaps Makoto is a little too old for parties... But where there's a free drink, there's a Date. 「 The detective has made an appearance at #Yokohama99Halloween ! 」

“Quiet out tonight, ain't it. Can actually hear myself think.”

“... 'Bloody Daydream'? You mean that guy who dresses up as a vampire? Last I heard of 'em, he was litter picking on the streets. Not on a stage.”

“Well, don't push yourself too hard, yeah? At least you're taking a break. Your brother could learn a thing or two from that.”

“Hey, Etsuko-chan. How's things? You sound tired. Not working yourself too hard, are you?”

“I'm tired of mondays.”

“Maybe I'm just a mean old man, but I never understood the big craze for Halloween.”

“A good friend of mine fought two tigers. Might be closer of an encounter than you'd like, but I can at least guarantee your safety if you take him along with you to any safari.”

“Ah, well... s'pose it's a bit different for a young lady such as yourself. More variety compared to a button up shirt and suit pants.”

“Sure, but there ain't no harm in wanting to change things up, don't you think? Especially for any special occasions.”

“Might have to experiment with some color in my wardrobe... When it's all white and beige, the Mama says I look like I'm going to pitch a sale over dinner.”

“Not much to talk about.”

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Snorts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀'Diku Kuze'.

The pained grimace of a disappointed father. “Time and place, lady...” Date shakes his head. “You need a jacket.”

☕︎ 「 hoping to get back into writing here more again, missed my old man. also still planning on kashiwagi... just want to finish playing through 0 and 1 again to refresh the old memory on him. 」

“Never a dull moment...”

“Hello to you too, Detective.”
