@madd0gmjm “That right? Guess even guys like you need a break.”

A welcome suggestion, and far more his scene.

“Then, let's find the right spot for a sit down. Could drag you to New Serena, but wouldn't mind a change of scenery myself.”

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

“Finally... Friday.”

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

@madd0gmjm “Sounds like you know just the place...”

As a detective, he should probably at least think more before agreeing to go for a night out with such an infamous yakuza. And yet,

“As luck would have it, my schedule is completely free. Guess I get the pleasure of being your rebound.”

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

@madd0gmjm “Disco? Hah. You really are an old dog.”

Yet his jab comes with a smile, warm, almost sentimental.

“Kiryu-san told me about his time at the Maharaja. Shame we weren't close in those days. Never really did get into the disco scene...”

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

“And the sky is blue.”

[𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐎𝐥' 𝐒𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 @OldManKiryu]

You're getting old.

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

@madd0gmjm “What kinda hostess clubs are you going to.”

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

“Peach and raspberry iced tea sounds delicious...”

Stop listening in on other people's conversations, old man.

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

@nishidakensetsu Thanks, Nishikawa. I'll try take a day or two off and rest.

[ ... Still not the right name. ]

“Bent over to pick up a coin and the sound my back made had me worried I'd broken something.”

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

“I'm sure it ain't that serious yet. Just need to cram in more stretches, that's all.”

[𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐈 𝐊𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐈. qrt limit @komakisdeshi]

“ . . . that doesn’t sound normal . maybe a visit to the chiropractor would help ? “

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

@madd0gmjm “Only 'fit' I'd get from that is fitted into a casket.”

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

“How does Kiryu make getting older look so graceful...”

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

@daddykijin “... You're enjoying this too much.”

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

@daddykijin “Not if I find you first.”

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

@daddykijin “They're gonna have to keep us in separate care homes.”

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

“Really? That's... quite the choice of field. Though, beggars can't be choosers. At least it's steady work.

You finding them okay? Not had any trouble?”

[𝕭𝖗𝖆𝖜𝖑𝖊𝖗 𝕭𝖚𝖙𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖋𝖑𝖞 @TheLadyKiryu]

"Yes , a construction designer and a hostess on the week end"

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

“Goofy?”

Ouch. His reputation is taking a serious hit here.

“I'm not the first old guy to get the name of an app wrong. It's hardly that entertaining.”

[亜̶̶門̶̶ 愛理 @AMONSCOURGE]

⠀⠀❝ Yep. Which made the whole blunder ten times more funny.❞

The woman shook her head, chuckling quietly.

⠀⠀❝ For a legendary detective, you're quite goofy.❞

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

“How are you making those sounds.”

[Drei @The3rdPhantom]

"Ay yo, why dis 👮‍♂️🚨 so mad tho?? 🤣"

How would one even pronounce emojis? Did she just violate some law of physics?

[Makoto Date @TMPD_Detective]

Grumble. TikTok, TikTak... both absurd names.

“Whatever. You still knew what I was talking about.”

[亜̶̶門̶̶ 愛理 @AMONSCOURGE]

⠀⠀❝ Tik𝐓𝐎𝐊, old man. TikTak is a type of candy—❞

It was so hard to keep on a straight face when all she wanted was to laugh.
