[That's... a response, certainly. Not one Atsushi expected - he'd have predicted 'the mysteries were no match for me' first, or maybe something about the author thing being weird still, but...]
In my world, at least, this is fiction. Ranpo is one of the most celebrated writers of detective fiction, and Kogoro Akechi is his most famous character.
I didn't know this would remind you of any real person.
Kogoro was my father's name. He was a police officer prided as being one of their greatest detectives. He still took consultations for cases even after he retired.
I may not know everything there is to know about him, but I know a few of these cases are similar to or identical to the ones that made him famous when he was still a rookie.
I take it there's some complicated system for getting things from our own world like that here, then?
[Typical regain mechanics]
[But that also means Atsushi went out of his way to get this for Ranpo, and honestly, he's a little touched. Would be more touched without the creepiness factor of the whole invented-his-own-dad thing, but what can ya do.]
Ware Wolf Shop sells these dimensional orbs you can use to bring small objects from home. Limit two per month, I guess because they cost a lot of Chroma?
No, because that sort of thing is supposed to be secret and I wasn't someone with special powers when alive. But it's par for the course now, happens all over the world.

It was nice getting to hear all those stories again.
I already knew how most of them went. But it's been a long time since I've seen them written as anything other than a police report.

Even though it wasn't exactly my intent, I'm glad.

It's weird, but also kind of fun to think there's entire collections of stories about my father somewhere.
[And then his brain can explode when the similarities just keep stacking up.]

[They can do nothing. Unfortunate.]

A shame they can't make it work in the opposite direction, huh? Then they might be able to just poof us back home.

Like seeing if they can bring a car over here.
And then maybe make sure living things can survive the trip.

I'm the spirit of a dead author summoned to fight monsters that are inside books. Lived 1909-1942.

And you called this situation weird as hell?
Even for our world, that would be pretty high on the weird-scale.

Are you saying people regularly summoned ghosts to fight monsters back when you were alive?
