626 BEDFORD (STUPID) AVENUE @ltuscter

the lights were flickering on the top floor again.

ms. patel had asked ud to check them out three days in a row now, but it looks like they would have to wait another day because said ud tawan was currently staring intently at the vending machine in the lobby. he swears he was on his way to the elevator, but the vending machine just so happened to be re-stocked, and he couldn’t ignore the fact that sol’s favourite brand of canned coffee was glinting back at him (not that she’d ever specifically expressed that she liked this particular brand, he just always saw her shooting them back like wheatgrass shots).

the clock in the lobby was unreliable, but it was dark enough outside for ud to feel a familiar tug of something like worry at the pit of his stomach— not that taeng was out, he knew she was back at the apartment, but the fact that yisol was.

he tells himself, as he stuffs the canned coffee in his hoodie and buries himself in the hood, that he’ll just go for a walk (it’s not nearly as cold to warrant wearing a hoodie, but ud was a sweltering heat kinda guy and ville city was too cold most nights). he had no idea what time she’d be back, or if she was coming back at all, but still, he waits at the bus stop, toes digging into a tiny clump of grass peeking out through the pavement.

the 626 turns the corner in the distance and ud stands up, teetering over expectantly before the bus stops in front of him. he almost misses her, but suddenly they’re standing right in front of each other, and ud lamely raises his hand to offer a small wave.

“hi.”

hi again :^) just posting a quick request for ud’s little sister under the cut in case anyone was looking for a second char~ will request on the main as well when i’m not lazy:

taeng and ud have a 6 year age gap & they literally were attached at the hip as kids— ud has a deep sense of responsibility over her since their parents died when she was only 4 :( 

literally this is ud with his lil sister when they were kids sobs

extremely protective tbh, she’s probably annoyed, but she nags him too (it’s all outta love— ud doesn’t seem to think so when she flushes his cigs down the toilet dkjsnfkjsdnf). she also hated when he was a gangster

i imagine she’s currently in uni or newly graduated, & she moved to ville city with ud less than a year ago

down to flesh out more history with some possible plots revolving the ~reason why they had to leave bangkok (which might include her and his job) 

taeng means melon and i thought it was cute since their mom had a fruit stand but you can def change her name! (or you can use a nickname as per thai custom, like ud’s first name is technically tawan which means sun and usually siblings have similar sounding names and whatnot)

suggested face: tu tontawan or fah yongwaree

hi y’all i’m tay ᅌᴗᅌ (she/her, 21+) and this is ud (pronounced “aht”), a small-town phuket boy, the son of a fruit stand vendor and a struggling artist & an ex-chao pho member. he’s been living in bangkok with his lil’ sister since the age of 10 & now he’s ur friendly center point custodian who moved to ville city just under a year ago. some more info and quick plots(?) under the cut:

grew up a really happy kid up until the age of 10 when his parents passed away in an accident 😔  moved to bangkok with taeng (his little sister, who was 4 at the time) to be with their only living relative, their senile paternal grandmother

needless to say, ud practically raised taeng seeing as grandma couldn’t. she also passed away when ud was 16

high school drop-out, but he did receive his GED at 21 to help taeng with her high school homework— literally will do anything for her 😭 

(speaking of which @someone pls make taeng it’ll be qt, kthanks)

long story short: had to find a way to raise a kid when he himself was a kid. got mixed up with a bad crowd to make a quick buck or two, next thing you know he’s being initiated into the whole ass mob lmao

judo athlete from the ages of 5-16, so that came in handy with his *ahem* profession

has sacrificed a lot in his youth tbh there is nothing he won’t do for taeng (except maybe kill a man but if u ask maybe he did lmao)

basically had to make a quick getaway so he and taeng ended up in ville city (ville city bitch, ville ville city, bitch. ten ten ten twenty on yo titties, bitch), where he was looking for a job a dropout could do. ended up stumbling upon center pointe and bargained with ms. eom and ms. patel for room & board included in his shitty wage

he was a shit gangster (read: did the bare minimum always) and he’s a shit custodian tbh, esp when it comes to mopping. except he’s pretty good at using his hands and fixing things so there is one (1) redeeming quality ig

laid back, charming (read: a natural flirt), & maybe just a tad bit eccentric (hates being bored, was bored a lot at his old job and smiled thru the pain djsnfkjsdn). now that he’s outta the syndicate he’s making use of some of the money he’s saved and delving into things he had to give up: you’ll often see him around the neighbourhood walking to the local dojo in his judo uniform, or with an old film camera taking random ass pics with paint splattered on his pants

also taking selfies with all the neighbourhood cats and dogs ૮ ・ﻌ・ა /ᐠ.ꞈ.ᐟ\ 

plots:

every time you see him he’s probably slacking off, so it’s no surprise to you that he forgot to put up the wet floor sign and now you’ve got your coffee spilled all over you

strange things keep happening but ud just shrugs it off. a bunch of items that are not his keep on ending up in his north-facing apartment— he’s got a little box filled with random things. you notice him throwing out your very special thing and accuse him of theft

he chases down a mugger and gets your bag back for you. very unexpected because you’ve only ever seen him sitting on the job, but suddenly he’s parkouring over fences n shit???? 

sparring partners at the dojo!

you lose your cat/dog and find it with ud, who’s taking selfies with it. you accuse him of pet-napping

dee’s not at the front desk and ud is staring at his paintings like he’s at an art gallery. you decide to join him (to talk shit about dee’s paintings)

you’re at the local karaoke and some tone deaf idiot (ud) is singing his drunk little heart out next door. it’s completely ruining your flow

more drunk shenanigans pls

“ghosts? lmfao” except he will cry if he sees a gecko or spider dskjfnksjdnf 

you clogged your toilet and ud is called in to unclog it. it’s embarrassing

you think maybe the custodian might have a thing for you since he greets you every day and is a lil’ flirtatious. you’re not mad about it— that is, until you see him doing the exact same thing with someone else

you go up to the roof a lot to yell out your frustrations, but ud is annoyed since that’s his secret napping spot to get away from ms. patel

“what’s up with that tacky dragon on your back, did you used to be in a gang or something?” “......”

because i’m a sucker for cliche plots: you’re trying to get a creep off your back and ud is the closest normal looking guy so you ask him to do u a solid and pretend to be ur boyfriend. he’s bored, so he agrees

you come home from work late at night and one particular night there was a scary incident that could’ve been bad, and ud witnessed that. you notice that on those days, ud is conveniently taking out the trash to make sure you get in safe. he never really mentions it

he’s kind of that neighbourhood guy who walks around in track pants and socks & slides on his way from the convenience store. one night, you don’t recognize him and think he’s stalking you. you attack him with your umbrella

he’s a bi disaster. do with that what u will

pls come @ me with any other crack plots u have in mind!!! & also ofc i’m always down to hash things out. i am a connoisseur of crangst (crack angst) mmmm yes that’s that good shit 👌
