OMG, Purvis you magnificent bastard. From the perspective of a resident, this is an incident, and we are the boss. First we gapxiled the shrine maiden. Then we disrupted the humans in the village. Then we KOed the mind reader.

I don't know what we could really learn from messing around in this plane. Kaguya or Mokou could enter the door out of here, and then respawn or not respawn (assuming they don't pass through, which would give us something new), which would teach us nothing. We could go to Bhava Agra and talk to THE DRAGON, but not sure what we could learn from HIM. Same with Eiki. Still think we would do well to talk to a good philosopher, but Yuyuko has only been sort of helpful.

Of course, it's a good bet that we need to go through the backstage portals we haven't gone through yet.

Wait, could we go talk with Okazaki, or Merlin? They just might have some insights.

I do believe we'd need our astrolabe for that, do we have it? //completely forgot

> Inventory
> List of Unused gaps

@Ninja'd, yes, we do need our astrolabe.

I'm... just as stumped as anybody else. I think our best bet is to go investigate Abyss Side again because I can't think of anything else.

>Your inventory contains:
>Bedsheet
>Your silken bedsheet.
>Socks and Undergarments.
>Some of your lost clothing.
>Yukari's Screwdriver.
>Seemingly a basic screwdriver. With this, you may prise open gaps with much more precision and delicately than you can alone.
>Piece of Materia Prima (Small)
>A hand-sized glob of the one element from which all flows.This could be shaped into a boggling array of things.
>Yukari's Hourglass
>This basic timekeeping device assists in maintaining gaps. With it, you can leave gaps open for longer, and without having to physically concentrate on them.
>Yukari's Pliers.
>A basic pair of pliers. These assist you in narrowing and closing gaps with far greater ease and speed than you can alone.
>Stout Stick
>Suitable for aiding in walking.
>Red Shoes
>You never thought you?d miss these.
>Piece of Material Prima (miniscule)
>A fingernail-sized glob of the one element from which all flows.This could be shaped into a boggling array of things.
>34☼
>This is 34☼
>Thus far, you have not explored the gap in the statue room in the caverns, or really even examined it. You haven't used the one in the unstable room in the caverns, but you know that it connects to one in the field of fronds. You haven't really seen where the gap near where you awoke leads; your last attempt did not work so well. The last one you haven't explored is an unfixed one near where you found the piece of Materia Prima, you would need to find your vice grips to use it safely.

>Could we make an astrolabe, or an orrery, without the tools we don't have?

>The idea of making a temporary astrolabe is an interesting one. To do it, you would need to get your hands on the correct materials, and then tools to shape them into a proper astrolabe. After that, you would need a place with normal borders to calibrate it, which on its own would be the work of hours or days without some sort of outside point to work from.  After that, you wouldn't expect it to withstand more than a few uses.
