Not outside recreation or sport. Guns have replaced bows in offense and hunting.
[There are obviously people who still learn and use bows, though it's taken a more "traditional" approach in the modern world. Archery competitions and archery clubs at school are relatively popular in their niche, shrines often encourage archers over gunmen, and some people simply prefer bows when hunting to avoid the noise alerting other quarry. That said... the idea of archery remains admirable and most people are going to be more impressed with a stoic archer landing a bullseye than someone whipping out a gun and taking a shot.
He conveys all that to Yuru in a more succinct manner, not wanting to quash the guy's skill and interest, but rather placing it in the frame of the modern viewpoint. Some heroes utilize bows over guns, either for comfort or better use with their Quirks, but that's a topic for another day.
Once they're done, Bakugou caps the box with the empty magazines.]
[Well, barring any incidents that the public encounters at least. With him being a target and all given his bring one of the twins. Himself and Asa both. But he is gathering that obviously he has to learn about this world down the mountain. Has to learn and try his best to blend in more, to at least learn the basics as best he can. Yuru is doing his best, even if he might be oblivious about a lot of things about the world outside of his village.
He tries to help as best he can in figuring getting everything together to finish up. But he might leave some of it to Bakugou who is obviously more familiar with this sort of thing.]
[Bakugou just grunts in acknowledgement of that. At least Yuru's going to try? He can't blame the guy entirely, knowing what little he does about his life. And while he's not going to say it, Yuru being stuck in jail for a bit would kind of keep him safe from people coming after him? Most police stations don't just let random people come in and demand to see (or attack) their prisoners. Yuru seems a nice guy enough that he wouldn't be in jail for life or anything.
If he didn't have a place to go, Bakugou would've been tempted to tell him to come over, but sounds like he does have someone to return to that would be worried if the archer didn't show up. Once the gun and headphones are returned, they just have to check out and leave. Bakugou signs for them both, since he doesn't want Yuru leaving his name anywhere. The guy's being tracked! He's not going to be the one to tell the blonde to leave a trail.]
Hm? A compact one? I dunno, I just have my one from the village.
[Of course, there wasn't quite the same technology or options available in the village up the mountain so Yuru isn't necessarily aware of some options here. He is trying to learn more. It's just not going to be an overnight thing. He hasn't necessarily considered that in some ways he might be safer in prison, if he were to mess up and get arrested. He just is trying to do his best to keep as safe as he can considering everything.
He doesn't necessarily read into it, with the other signing for them and all. But he lets the other take care of it since he seems to know what the process is and all.]
A compact one folds up so you can carry it without people knowing.
[Some are even quick deploy, snapping into place as you pull it out and release the catch. Something they could possibly look into in the future. Bakugo realizes Yuru's village wouldn't have had access to that technology, but he's out of the village now and in the name of adapting for survival, it's an option. (Bakugo wold still prefer the guy stay out of prison for multiple reasons, but there are worse places for Yuru to end up...)
Once they're outside again, Bakugou slips his hands into his pockets and heads back to the sidewalk to continue. They'd taken a ride to this area, a fair distance from the city, so it'll be a bit to get back.]
Huh. Yeah that could be useful. I mean. I don't figure that I should be carrying it around with me all the time but. Sometimes. That might help.
[He has to admit that much. In the chance where he might need to go out with one or something. It might be worth asking Dera about. He figures the other might have some idea. Where to get one if he agrees it might be a good idea for Yuru to have one. He's not sure how it works with folding it up but he figures it must be made for it so that should work. He's just more used to his own and his own arrows that he has made himself. But then he could probably adjust and get used to the compact bow. If he had to.
He follows, not minding the walk. He's used to a bit of a trip, given his hikes when hunting around the mountain back home. So he simply sticks alongside Bakugou, shifting in falling in step in keeping up but not getting right in the other blond's space, not falling too far behind.]
[Since that's the guy who Yuru tends to say he's going to ask about things with. Kind of a default retort now. Getting one might be pricey if he wants a quality item, but who knows; Dera might be able to pull some strings or there's someone who knows someone who doesn't need theirs anymore. Bakugou will look around his own contacts and see what he can find, but that sort of item isn't something people usually just hand out. Maybe if Yuru joined an archery chapter... Not a good idea if he's trying to lay low.
There's always the concept of making one, even from wood, but Bakugou would cross that proverbial bridge if it happens. Yuru said he made his own bow, so it's not outside reality.
It won't take them that long to reach the station he first met Yuru at.]
I will ask him, yeah. He might have a better idea on it.
[Where to get one? Yuru hasn't made a bow that could fold up like that. It hadn't obviously been an issue before. That everyone in the village knew him and that he knew what he was doing with the bow once he learned as a child to use one and was hunting with it. He gives a nod to the idea on asking Tadera, before thanking Bakugou.]
[No point in answering the obvious statement. Who knows if Yuru is able to carve a hinge or make one out of wood and/or metal to create his own compact bow? Something he can work out with his companion if there's no way to get one. Bakugou slips his hands into his pockets as he leans to the side on one foot, verging to turn and head back to his own place. He wants to make sure Yuru is going to be okay, but the guy has his number if he needs anything.]
Yeah. Thanks. If I need you, I'll use the phone thing.
[Well. He's learning, in any case. He is trying. To learn more about this, this new technology and everything. He gives a nod, his own hands in his hoodie pocket in front of him as Left and Right stand alongside him. Always at his side unless he orders otherwise. In wanting to keep him safe. Even if they were like him and still figuring this out, being down from the mountain, out of the village.]
Wouldn't want to keep you too late though. So you head back. I have Left and Right with me if anything did happen on the way back.
[A simple agreement to that. Yuru knows he can contact him, which makes Bakugou feel better about letting the guy off without any further aid. He seems able to handle himself, adaptable to a new environment, and picks up new skills quickly. Someone like that doesn't need hand holding.
Being backed up by two spirit animals doesn't hurt things either. Bakugou turns and heads down the sidewalk. It'll be a fair walk home, but he'll probably just blast his way there.]
Tch. Don't give me orders. [Just a growl towards the comment seeing him off.] Catch you around, Mountain Boy.
[He at least knows how to figure checking in with the other if he needs. He has Left and Right if he needs. And is within walking distance to where he is staying with the others. So it is probably fine. Yuru shifts and turns to walk away, giving a wave.]
See ya.
[Left and Right join him, staying close since they are out of the building, out of the protection of the others, the area they were staying. He heads back towards home, or what counts for home now anyway. The closest thing he has, now he can't return to his village.]
[ooc: yo! thanks for the thread! this as a really interesting bout of cr going on. did you have interest in continuing another thread in the same vein, or shall we let things lie for the time being?]
[ooc: Aw thank you! I'm still new with Yuru and obviously the series itself is still ongoing and all but. I'm excited to see where it goes and in trying him out! Just rough when waiting a month in between updates for Yomi no Tsugai for things to progress and figure more of the plot. Their cr does have potential! I'm still working on colouring Yuru's icons and wouldn't be against another meme or something if you were keen sometime. Whenever you were up for it, no major rush.]
[ooc: Oh geeze, a month between releases? Wow, that's painful. Hope the mangaka's not planning on making it a long series if that's the case because... that's some Spy x Family delay right there. Oh you color icons? So jealous! I look forward to seeing how they come out! Sure, if we see a meme that works for them, let's totally tag in and get the ball rolling once more~]
[ooc: well I expected the monthly chapters since that is what Arakawa did with Fullmetal for example. It's how most other series have been that I have read so I am used to it. It's just. A bit more of a wait compared to other series that are weekly haha. But yeah I'm playing around and trying to figure more icons. Nothing too amazing but at least some flat colours to get some colour in there more.
But yeah! Will see how bakerstreet is. I know a lot can be more shippy which isn't always what I'm looking for depending on the character but. Still. Will try keep an eye out. If nothing else there's always texting/picture prompt sort of thing which is always pretty open and easy to roll with.]
