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 ahlyo! )

I'm offended you think I'd skimp on you. I always pay my debts in full.

[ He just doesn't carry all his money with him anymore because, well, that didn't exactly end well last time. ]

I've enough on me to afford a decent meal. Are you coming?

good to wrap up soon maybe?

[apathie]

Very well. [one last sweep of the black market behind them, trying to catch a glimpse of the little white rabbits that caught his eye outside... before sighing. yes, this is a lost cause. he'll come back when he has more time.]

Am I allowed to choose the place? If so, I know a good place for meals, and cheap ones too.

[he tucks his coat around himself so it doesn't flutter as he takes big strides towards the exit-- rather, the entrance he used. he's certainly ready for a meal.]

Unless you're weak to spice.
