Things are getting bad, and fast. Yuri had been kicked out of his apartment upon being dubbed a foreigner. He hasn't been here for a year, in fact, he moved here close to the time people from other worlds showed up, Being the poor citizen he is, Yuri can't even prove he was a resident of Ba Sing Se beforehand either. Not that it would really matter if he could. Its not looking good for him, that's for sure. Homeless and unable to buy most things that he needs, even though he has plenty of money, he's got no choice but to spend most of his time at work. Which means Varrick's boat. He's not exactly happy about it, but there could be worse things.
Having heard about the gold appearing at city hall, Yuri's curiosity drove him to take a look. What he saw disgusted him. That evening the gold appeared as people said it did, and he just stands by and watches as people scramble for it. He doesn't need the stuff, and even if he did, what good would it be? Being labeled a foreigner, the gold would just give him more trouble than it was worth. Thus he just leans against the wall of a building and watches, Repede sitting next to him and huffing his disapproval as people scramble for the glittering stuff. And they say dogs are animals. Though the mysterious word that's appeared with the gold hasn't gone unnoticed. Though all he can do is speculate about it.
"Tch." Eventually Yuri gets tired of watching this and turns to go, but then something else catches his eye as it appears nearby. What appears to be a large, glittering gem. It's huge actually, for a jewel anyway. The crystal is several inches long and wide enough to be held with two hands. It's color is a light blue. Yuri stares at it for several moments. He feels like he's seen it before. But that's crazy... right? But the nagging feeling won't leave him alone. He moves towards it, but someone else swoops in and snatches it.
"Hey!" Yuri shouts at the man as he tries to flee with the stone. Repede leaps into action, putting himself in the man's path and growls menacingly. This gets the looter to pause, staring nervously at the dog. Repede barks and snaps his jaws, causing the man to back up into Yuri who looks down at him imposingly. The small man squeaks and drops the stone. "Don't hurt me!" And with that, he runs off. ... Well. That wasn't too hard. Stooping down, Yuri picks up the crystal and looks it over.
Later, Yuri takes the crystal back to Varrick's boat. He's already had several people try to snatch it from him. It would be safer to keep it there.
((OOC: Feel free to approach or run into Yuri at any point here! Or even on his way back to Varrick's boat.))

Repede was resting next to him, and quickly looks up, but doesn't get a chance to warn his partner in time before Varrick trips over him. Fortunately the dog did manage to get out of the way.
Yuri however, is now suddenly awake. His eyes flying open and looking fairly startled.]
Whoa!
no subject
Once he's righted, Varrick squints forward in the darkness.]
...Yuri? What the spirits are you doing in my closet?!
no subject
[Now how to explain this while trying to save some face?]
Taking a nap.
no subject
[...unless...]
Yuri, are you homeless and sleeping secretly in my closets this whole time?
no subject
"Not the whole time. I was kicked out of my apartment a couple days ago."
Might as well come clean too.
AND A MILLION YEARS LATER sorry I got christmas-ed
"You have keys to this whole boat, why didn't you just hide in one of the hundred or so empty crew quarters around here?!"

[Wait what? Yuri will stare at Varrick for a moment.]
2/3
And then I just realized I was switching proses. Oops. Sorry.
