he’s got a cup in one hand, iced tea topped off with a fair ( invigorating ) amount of vodka & he’s sucking on it thoughtfully as he stares at the street, nodding, his voice soft and melodic. “i mean, i... disagree. i think if, gun to my head, i had to incorporate a mcdonald’s sauce to my sex life, it would definitely be sweet and sour. like yeah, it’s a little sticky, but it’s versatile. as long as you don’t stick it IN anything, it would probably be the tastiest.”
Life as Jeremy Burns’ assistant was never boring. Tech billionaire who was as brilliant as he was wacky? Celeste hadn’t known what to expect, but she had learned it was easier to simply Google ‘alarm clock/remote control’ patents than to tell him he was insane. Some of his products were genius, like adding a coffee pot to an alarm clock to brew coffee instantly, or a remote control that turned on a shower to the perfect temperature from bed.
“Yes, Mr. Burns, I’ll get right on that,” she said before hitting end on her phone screen and sliding it into her jacket pocket. New flavor of Ramen noodles that was only sold online or on Oahu? Her boss was insane. Dark eyes rested on the person ahead of her and she strode over. “Excuse me, do you know where an international grocery store is?”
adrian turns, his eyes falling to the floor in some mockery of demure, chewing his lipring and offering a hesitant nod to show he’s listening. he pauses, furrowing blonde brows, and hooks his hands in the exposed pockets of his paint-covered jeans, and then he nods again. “um -- well, what are you looking for ? there’s a russian bakery called gastronome three blocks away that way,” he points left, “obvious place, can’t miss it. lots of slavic characters. there’s also a quirky imports store down third ave,” he had done a lot of talking & his voice faltered after so much disuse. he pauses, thinking, and shuffling his feet. “i guess if you want just foodstuffs there’s a mart near the imports store that has an international section.” it was cheap, too. had good candy.
Day ninety of her job at the run-down little diner right off the beach and Rae was certain that this was the day she was going to bash someone over the head with her tray. She was tired of having her tips tucked into her apron pocket or the waistband of her shorts.
“Hi, I’m Rae, I’m your waitress. Yes, I’m single, you can’t have my number, and just a head’s up, if you ask me if I’m on the menu or tuck money into my apron strings, I’m going to bash you over the head with the tray. Got it?” she said, pulling a notepad out of her pocket.
adrian blinks, stunned. “i just — i... really don’t give a shit if you’re single or what your number is,” he finally says, confused, staring at the menu. not only is he also a waiter having an intimate knowledge of just what kind of bullshit clients come from this town, but he also has no patience for girls who are full of themselves. his voice is soft, and he’s running a hand through coiffed bleach-blonde, dye-streaked hair, thinking.
“you’re not my type. can i get a different server ? like -- or sit in another server’s section? i’m on my lunch, i work for the sushi place across the street, and i just... i don’t have the energy.” after a second he clears his throat, offering a belated: “no offense.” and honestly, he means it, even if he doesn’t mind defending himself when necessary.
Brando slid his portfolio to the individual in front of him in his shop, taking the liberty to open the first page. “Do you have something in mind? Or do you wanna see our flash art book? We can also talk about something you just want to represent.” His arms folded over the front desk of Ink Inc. and he leaned in, amiable. “I know a tattoo is a big deal. If you want, I can just draw it on. You can live with it a while before making a decision.”
adrian studies the artist, his eyes bright, quiet & watching. he had tattoos littering his arms + even on one hip, a collection of fleeting memories gathered from parties & high amateurs with ebay-bought sets. not safe, but it’s worked out so far. this is his first time shelling out for a PROPER artist and he’s not.... nervous, but he’s not sure where he stands, so he shifts a little. it feels oddly exciting, like something is going right in his life. “i guess i could look at the book?” he’s shy, obviously, worrying at his lip ring. he’s subconsciously scratching at his favorite tattoo— the one spanning his wrist and thumb —and continued, hesitant. “i don’t... i don’t think it needs to mean anything. i just thought they were pretty.” his tattoos are nature-themed and black and white, save the printer-color inspired dots on his ankle & the matchstick on his hip, but he doesn’t volunteer much more information.
“i figured i’d just ask you to doodle, to be honest.” he cracks a smile, still glancing around the room. “only have one tattoo that means something,” that’s the matchstick, “and-- honestly, it’s my least favorite. is that pretentious ? i never know anymore.”
— ( LUKE HEMMINGS ) - Is that TWENTY ONE year old ADRIAN WYATT ? HE has been on Kismet Island for TEN MONTHS and works as a SERVER. I heard that they are a BISEXUAL MALE and are known around here as the WALKING CONSTELLATION. Rumor has it that their true love is PRESLEY CAULEN. - THEYE, 20, PST, SHE/HER
ok anyway. hi i’m theye !! i’m 20, pst, she/her as it says on the tin; i work part time as a barista + i’m a college student so i’m always tired
my discord is doughnutqueens#2056 and that’s my fav way to chat so don’t be afraid to hmu, i love making friends + i love chatting n sending ppl random pics of my puppy . he’s a lil loopy rn cos he has to take medicine for an injury but still cute !!!!
if u like this u will get a message and i will do my best to give u all the love u deserve
this , my son , is adrian daniel wyatt ! he prefers to go by adri or addy & he’ll correct you or ignore u if u call him adrian
he’s the son of a nurse & a “businessman” ; he’s been poor most of his life, bc his dad has been using family money to fund projects that ultimately fail bc of his terrible temper and work ethic .
speaking of daddy, lmao, guess who’s dad is a Gigantic Asshole ? yea ! adrian’s ! he lost his shit just after adrian turned 5 when the three of them got into a car accident bc of his drunk driving ! adrian came out of it banged up but fine, but dad + mom not so much ?? and since then dad’s been abusive ?? but for the sake of not triggering anyone we’ll leave it at that !
let’s just say he never stopped to appreciate the cutie son he has ok !
he got a job at 16 that was some gross under-the-table, lowlowlow level drug shit to help out w rent so his mom didn’t have to work so hard - and tbh he dropped out in senior year to continue doing so.
eventually it got to be a little too much and he was trying to distance himself by getting Real Jobs (a waiter at a sushi restaurant, since he loooves spicy sushi & a host at a sleezy diner) to support himself
he had a difficult time pulling away from the small-time drug distributor he had gotten himself involved in, and eventually @ about 19 realized he’d have to leave l.a completely
he begged his mom to come with him, but tbh… eventually he realized his mom would never pick him over his dad even w a chance 2 find a true love ? so he just packed his shit, got his cat and left. broke my bab’s heart .......
he’s not rlly sure how he feels about never being able 2 leave since a rlly large part of his dreams for the future were travelling and seeing the world ? also he does plan on going back 2 see his mom ?
tbh in all honesty i think he’s kinda ignoring it and figures he’ll find some way to get what he wants eventually b c he’s never one to give up ( whether that’s true or not )
ok soulmates - honestly, adrian would have participated in the experiment for three reasons: one : he’s lonely + rlly wants to belong . two : he fuckin loves the ocean and nothing makes him happier than an island paradise where he gets to splash around in his free time on the beach, ( yes, this is enough of a priority for him 2 willingly give up his freedom + spend his life being Studied apparently ) and three : he has poor fuckin impulse control
ok so !! personality stuff
he’s basically cold af. his eyes are cold. his hands are always cold and sometimes shaking. his hair is bleached (w faded manic-panic rainbows dyed in bc he wants to stand out even tho he doesn’t wanna be Seen) his skin is pale, his voice is v quiet and soft but v devoid of emotion
he doesn’t make eye contact !! at all !! it freaks him out !! he might be 6′4 but don’t ask him to look a bitch in the eyes or he might die
he’s v v v v v skinny. like he’s been chronically underfed his whole life & chills with drugs like they’re his homies – this means he’s always bundled up bc he might be a cold person on the outside but that doesn’t mean he needs to feel cold !! so catch him in sweaters all the time smh
he’s an artist, but this is a HUGE secret for him tbh ?? he’s good and loves color studies, he draws + paints almost exclusively realistic people + slice of life type shit
he doesn’t open up to anyone easily ?? like idc y’all could be his friend for 4 years and you won’t even know he has a cat until year 3
oh yeah . his cat is a tiny cat named teacup who is Evil and basically tries to kill everyone except for him (and him sometimes)
and he LOVES her so much she is his Princess and he will feed his cat before himself, he couldn’t let her go back onto the streets after he found her so he’s been earning her trust & treating her as gently as he knows she deserves to be
while he’s cold and closed-off, he’s also v loving / soft / generous.
catch him spending his last 10$ to buy mcdonalds and share it with a homeless man & having a genuine conversation w the dude about his life and who he is. catch him nursing baby birds back to health after they’ve fallen out of trees around his apartment complex. catch him spending 3 hours tryna get the spider in his room onto a piece of paper to put it outside so he doesn’t have to kill it
he’s lowkey craving human warmth ?? so he lets people get close to him , like he’ll listen and be a good friend even if he doesn’t open up. he craves acceptance, love, validation, like all he wants in this whole world is to be told he’s enough; this is why he buys into the soulmate thing: he’s desperate to belong & have someone care about him
ok but when you get to know him tho !!!! he’s so playful and fun to be around ??? he loves to do crazy shit & enjoy life & go to vintage hipster movies and giggle over the weird shit they videotape & spend time in art galleries but then go raid a dollar store for shitty candy knockoffs & sit on a roof somewhere throwing gummy bears off the roof and trying to hit ppl below
he keeps his art to himself, so even though he’s always covered in flecks of paint and drags a sketchbook out in his spare time, he’s not going to show anyone or let anyone see it bc self conscious and has major trust issues its almost funny lol
he’s like… really loyal. and really hard working. like he grew up having to work his ass off to get anything, and it shows ??
he’s pretty easy to get along with, like he’s not needlessly a dick to everyone in the name of preserving his emotional privacy
but he is super private. he likes to lowkey lie when people ask about him so no one really has the same story, and certainly no one has the truth
he kinda, like, likes to tease ppl ? like not meanhearted making fun of someone, just when he’s comfortable he’ll kinda be more obvious and joke around with you, he has a unique sense of humor; he’s a bit of a slut for attention. tbh
if u have been accepted into the inner sanctum he will draw u . and on you . a lot . u will become a model and a sketchbook. be aware
some plots i want !
hookups , fwb , anything of the sort w/ anyone fam
one ride or die friend he makes ???
ppl who are in his apartment building as well, maybe they develop a relationship thru post it notes on each others’ doors, maybe they sometimes get annoyed w adri or he’s annoyed by them, maybe they’ve carpooled places or he’s shared pizza… anything, yo
someone who takes him out to do crazy things bc that’s what he loves n he needs it ok
..... bonus points if they make out while high sometimes like ... platonically. it just seems like some bullshit adrian would do idk man he’s an artist he’s weird
someone who adri has been writing letters to back-and-forth by leaving them in a book somewhere, or maybe online penpals !! likely anonymous, but we could write the letters or they could txt or something how cute????
hoffman’s notturno is beautiful. her eyes are so stunningly deep, there’s a personality there. it makes you think she could still be out there somewhere, watching, waiting. and i like greuze’s lament of the watch. it’s... i don’t know why. maybe the way she’s staring, the slump of her body. king ludwig i’s entire collection is breathtaking. he was a lucky man, collecting the best art from all around the world. i like 1800s impressionists and realists, too. rohden’s forest interior, and estude de paysage by marin... slice of life is amazing. like, um... quaglia’s residenzstrasse. it’s just, it’s breathtaking. i’ve never seen any of these in real life, but i think i’d sell my arm to go. like, to the pinakothek, um, to moma and to the louvre. maybe someday, right? maybe someday.
