She is a zanpakutou, and looks largely like a katana. It would be nice to have her back- my current sword isn't quite the same, you understand, and it would be nice to have a blade I'm more comfortable with when hunting monsters.
[ This girl is very pretty, and Yachiru is particularly interested in the eyepatch over her eye. It reminds her of Ken-chan's eyepatch and makes her wonder if maybe, just maybe, when she talks about powers, it might be something like that. Some kind of great, wonderful, tingling power that blasts away everything clear from the ground and sends weaker ones flying with the full strength of it, though Yachiru has been accustomed to Ken-chan's power for a long time, living and breathing so close to it, sleeping near it, wrapping it around her, like a comforting warm blanket. ]
Hi Patchychan!
[ She decides this is a good name, Patchychan, because the girl has an eyepatch, and it's her most distinguishing feature, after all. ]
Well . . . Chrome does not really associate that word with herself. Hers has never been a world-shattering power -- nothing of that scope. She lacks Hibari's aggression and drive and Mukuro-sama's fearless acceptance of endlessness. Power would seem to connote restless destruction. Someone to be feared
( ... )
[ Art, to Yachiru, is destructive, it is beautiful and bright and filled with the restlessness of two lives bursting against each other. Two lives, pressing, pushing, struggling, one attempting to gain dominance over the other
( ... )
[ It is not that Chrome has never engaged in battle. This would be the opposite of the truth. There have been days when she has asked herself if life amounted to anything besides fighting (sometimes in ways less tangible than piercing the jugular of a foe with prongs of her trident) -- but she is not Hibari, nor will she ever be. Battles do not exhilarate her. Safeguarding the Tenth is her role. Assisting Mukuro is her role. These are her paths. And she lives them in the manner that one pulls one's self out of bed in the morning: because it is rote. Because it is what you do
( ... )
[Winry eyes the flustered girl carefully, considering. Well, if a person can be brought here, then why not an object? That should be easier, really. But if she can "summon" something here, then why wouldn't it be possible to send something back?]
Excuse me, does that summoning thing work both ways?
[She can't believe that this girl wouldn't have thought to send people back if she was capable of it, but... well, if the ability is there, what's to keep her from expanding on it?]
[Gods? Hm... no, she's not buying that. Winry doesn't particularly believe or disbelieve in God or gods, but she does know that if an almighty being existed, it wouldn't just randomly pluck her out of her house and put her here. People say "gods" because people don't have any other explanation, she's seen plenty of people think that alchemy was God's work because they didn't understand the science behind it. Not that she really does either, but Ed's certainly no prophet.]
Can you bring people here too then, or is it only objects?
[ She would not press the "gods" issue; she is not certain that she believes the world is ruled by "gods," as such -- having experienced the powers she has experienced in her own world. But she does believe it is ruled by something, and that this world operates with its own set of rules. ]
Objects.
I think . . . it would be dangerous to try to bring people.
[ Too dangerous. Even if it were possible, which she does not believe that it is. We are talking about essentially dragging someone through a different reality, which seems as though it could potentially tear you apart. ]
[Heine's ears perked up immediately at the possibility of summoning things from his world. Wasting no more time he decided to respond with a video to this person even if she was a woman]
Did you say you can summon things from our worlds? How much would it cost to summon some bullet clips?
[ She can't help feeling a little curious about this man's gun and whether it's a variety she has either used -- or, well, been in a shoot out with (or had a friend in a shoot out with) at some recent point. Professional curiosity, strictly, but Chrome does take weapons rather seriously. ]
Semi-automatic will cost more. [ And she's really curious if you're walking around here with one of those. ]
50 Ryo is baseline for weaponry parts more advanced than those here.
I've got a Luger P08 pistol and a Mauser C96 pistol.
Only empty ones if those are any good.
[an annoyed scowl at that. he had just reloaded them too. Still 50 Ryo baseline price is not bad at all. He could scrounge up that much easily. And once he'd get some bullets gathering money would be that much faster.]
Would it cost a lot to summon say... little everyday things?
I would really love some toothpaste and a toothbrush from my world...
[The boy is sitting outside, dressed in nothing but hakama, with a sword across his knees. He looks sweaty, mostly, a little rumpled. A sword scar that starts at his collarbone and runs downward is being scratched at idly, as if he doesn't know he's doing it.]
Someone asking about modern convenience? Chrome can relate most to such a request. She's been having similar thoughts. It's why she sought out the summoning shop in the first place. ]
Those won't cost much.
A few shu per item . . . you can get that from fishing, the boss says.
[ Oh, Gau. She knows. She knows, man. Chrome didn't really get this elaborately coiffured fringe and pineapple tuft hairstyle to let it be killed by Yomisato's humidity.
. . . Did he say sweater vests?
She doesn't replay. Doesn't ask. ]
Yes!
Ah, but. There's a limit on how much can be summoned each day.
[ It isn't something she fully understands, as she only facilitates the process, but it probably does cause a great strain and a great expenditure, bringing things across the nexus of worlds. ]

How much do you estimate it would cost to summon a sword?
Reply
I think it would depend on the type of sword.

Is this something better discussed in person?

[ She sends the shop coordinates. ]
I'll try to help.

We're held here by powers of some kind. "Gods," people say.

For a semi-automatic rifle or for a revolver?

You mean I could get hair products and my favorite body wash and everything too!?
[Have a very, very excited Gau.]
That'd be perfect! I wonder how much it would cost to summon my wardrobe from home too... I'm almost out of sweater vests that look decent!

Ah . . . mm.
Clothing does cost more.
