#ooo you wanna write with detective bradley 🕰😵‍💫🪄

[entriprises]

random flew the coop / detective bradley thoughts:

he's a somewhat infamous/disgraced detective. he was really big and well known in his community for a while until he became a suspect in a murder which ruined his business and left him almost client-less

although he always introduces himself as bradley bradshaw, a lot of people who know him or of him call him rooster, including the media. it's a long running nickname that he's neutral/a little hesitant towards just because it either makes people think of the murder case that ruined him or glorify him.

the piano is where he finds most of his revelations and thoughts. he was pretty known at a jazz bar for causing up a lively and fun stir and it also lended itself to more jokes tied to the rooster nickname. "when the rooster crows" is a phrase people used a lot, mostly to tease and sometimes with annoyance from law enforcement

after his investigative services leave him jobless, he plays more frequently at the jazz bar except he's not really starting up sing alongs or anything of that sort. he's just an in house pianist. this also gets him free meals at the bar

he has a house, a nice one, with a bed, but he mostly sleeps at his office on the couch

when he was more active he tended to wear white/offwhite/tan/black pants with some floral shirt or polo. when he starts working more after meeting andie he's mostly in actual suits and nice plain solid button downs. he even starts wearing a tie. (he's trying really hard to be serious and respectable and no longer has the reputation he had before). the longer they work together, the more colorful his wardrobe becomes with him getting back into patterned shirts or colorful ties
