Vend Me A Dream


[ It had seemed like an easy request until one ask led to another and in a ridiculous turn of events, Yuri finds himself at an arcade trying to fish out a specific toy from among a dozen in a crane machine. After several unsuccessful attempts and a growing urge to just pick the lock on the damn machine, he exchanges a look with his fetch quest partner, or perhaps a passerby. ]

This has gotta be rigged.


Haniwhat?


Creepy things, aren't they? I'll take it off your hands.

[ Anyone finding themselves burdened with haniwa might find Yuri extending them a hand and an offer to relieve them of the unwanted visitors. The reason he's been collecting haniwa becomes apparent later in the day, when the same figurines pop up on youkai eBay.

Despite the 'do not fuck with' energy the figurines give off, it seems a number of souls do, in fact, want to fuck around and find out. That Enma has been confiscating the haniwa only generated demand for the cursed things. So, Yuri figures, why not try to turn a profit? ]



It's Raining, It's Pouring


—I never said it was a scenic shortcut, only a dry one.

[ As the storm beats down over Jigokucho, Yuri is calmly lifting the nearby manhole cover and climbing into the dingy underground tunnel below. It's damper than it usually is with all the rainwater sloshing down the drains, and when he reaches the bottom of the rungs he has to maneuver deftly away from a patch of water overflowing onto the walkway. The tunnels are quiet, at least, the turf wars hopefully wrapped for the day.]


Daily Life


[ Throughout the month, Yuri will continue to spend time helping the Kappa tribe settle into their temporary shelter. He can be found chatting up Sutoku businesses to drum up support, and when he has a free evening, hitting up bars and schmoozing with locals. You might also run into him in bookstores, flipping through cooking recipes or studying Hell's most popular 12-step skincare routine in a beauty magazine. Or perhaps you'll spot him in one of the parks, getting schooled in a game of shogi by an elderly youkai. ]

( If you have other ideas, feel free to PM or hit me up on [plurk.com profile] ahlyo! )

That was the most stupid thing to say. [and it seems as if nehan is getting tired of being surrounded by idiots who speak or act first and think later.

even if he doesn't want to, this display of stupidity is right in his face, and he steps forward.]


Move along to another store. [and in a softer voice:] And learn to haggle and bargain.

[personal profile] apathie 2022-04-28 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not here to collect. [nehan pauses to bare his fangs at the grumpy youkai vendor, before moving away from the stall.]

I'm here for myself, and apparently it's fortunate or fated that I am here, otherwise you would have gotten into even more trouble.
apathie: (067)

[personal profile] apathie 2022-05-01 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
[unfortunately a nearby merchant hears the question, and starts to call the pair towards them-- to which nehan shoots the poor person a glare before turning back to the human, expression smoothing over to dull again.]

Not something I want to say around merchants around here, given I'm about to burn bridges just barking at them. [then he beckons with one hand.]

Come, let's just walk before they get more annoyed.

Rigged?

[ jack can't help but smile with just a little hint of amusement as they see this stranger so frustrated at the crane machine. they don't have much knowledge of these things, but it feels like a little bit of an exaggeration to think of them as rigged.

right?

jack approaches, arms crossed. ]


What are you even trying to do with this?
hellborne: ((flat) 5)

[personal profile] hellborne 2022-05-20 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
No...no, I have not.

[ what a strange machine. jack approaches it, looking through the glass with an increasingly curious expression. the mechanisms seem simple yet intricate...but they can't really understand it either. ]

Do you mind if I attempt at it?
hellborne: ((flat) 5)

[personal profile] hellborne 2022-05-23 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
I would heed your warning, but unfortunately now I am quite curious to see myself.

[ will they end up getting their ass kicked by a machine? god, jack sure hopes that's not the case, but there's only one way to find out, unfortunately. surely, the sane thing to do is to leave the wretched thing behind, but there is a sizable part of him that's curious to see what would happen.

and so they takes some coins out to insert and bring the game back to a start. with their target in sight, they try to guide the crane closer to it... ]


Dang, this mechanism is a lot more finnicky than I first imagined. Eh...

[ okay. okay it's centered, right? now they just have to lower it and... ]

What do you mean, it didn't grab anything!? The crane was right above it!

Haniwhat Ebay Crimes

[personal profile] dehallow 2022-05-17 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A day or two after Yuri has set up his little store, he will find a message in his inbox that is decidedly not a declaration of interest. ]

Dear proprietor of this unlawful storefront,

it has come to our attention that you are making unauthorized sales of goods that are under official confiscation order from the Department of the Enma. Therefore the Department has the right, including but not limited to, restrict, prevent or limit the use of cursed Haniwa figures in order to protect the public against spiritual unrest.

You are to close your store effective immediately and surrender all contraband to the Department posthaste.

If you fail to comply with the aforementioned demand within 5 business days, we will have no choice but to pursue all legal causes of action, including filing a lawsuit and confiscating the items by force.

Further inquiries about how to surrender the Haniwa are to be directed to me personally.

Sincerely,
Barok van Zieks
Attorney at Law
Department of the Enma, Justice Division

[ Given that van Zieks is himself from a pre-digital age, it takes a little longer than one might expect for him to find the second account. It takes considerably less time to verify that this must be the same individual. Comparing pictures has been a ridiculously large part of his professional career in the last year, he's got that down.

And from then on, it's just a matter of bureaucracy.

And then it's a matter of grabbing an oni coworker and showing up at Yuri's place of residence uninvited.

Your door-bell is ringing, sir. ]
dehallow: (⚔ cold eyes)

[personal profile] dehallow 2022-05-29 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, that was at least an easy find. Half of van Zieks had worried the man wouldn't be at home to begin with. He has no smile to offer in return. ]

Yuri Leclerc, I presume? I have contacted you before. The name is Barok van Zieks.

[ He does not move to introduce his oni companion, who looks... mildly offended by that, actually. ]

You must know why I am here and the Department would appreciate your cooperation.

haniwhat;

[personal profile] littleshield 2022-05-21 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Here he is, not exactly pleased to be hanging around one of those figurines when Yuri makes the comment that he does. ]

...You actually want these wretched things?
littleshield: (13)

[personal profile] littleshield 2022-05-22 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, Felix will not exactly oppose Yuri taking the thing from him, but... ]

You're not planning on dumping these things in front of people's doors or something, are you?
littleshield: (14)

[personal profile] littleshield 2022-05-22 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It's been going well enough.

[ By which he means he doesn't quite care except whenever he gets in a fight and has to beat the shit out of some idiot who gets in his way.

Anyway, why shouldn't worry about it!! ]


So, what are you going to do with those things? Hand them over to that piece of work leader of yours?
