>You employ your magnifying glass on the sigil. Beforehand, you could tell that it was incomplete and that it had some aspect of motion to it. Now, you can take a much closer look at it through the fog of the borders here, and see that is power is designed to affect immaterial aspects to move them from one place to another. As well, you can recognize some of the finer aspects of this power. You are certain that is is a part of your wrench.

Vice Grips is a no-go since I don't think we've found anything pertaining to it.

Wrench is also unnecessary I believe, since it doesn't seem like we *need* it for anything right now.

I'm seriously considering using an Insight Point here, as I'm absolutely stumped.

However, I'll check on two things first.

> Was there anything we couldn't specifically do because of the chaos in the borders?

> List of missing tools.

(Note: I'm pretty sure the only tools left are the Vice Grips, the Wrench and the Astrolabe, I'm writing the Astrolabe out of the question since it would be a "use this to go back to Gensokyo and finish the quest" sort of item. Unless we managed to find it before finding our other tools, at which point the only thing we could actually accomplish going back to Gensokyo would be to rest, eat, drink and get Mary back to safety, then we'd have to come back because we'd still be missing tools. -MAYBE- we could talk to The Dragon about this, but I'm thinking he wouldn't be much help.)

>Practically anything border related, to be honest. If the borders here weren't so chaotic, you wouldn't have have nearly so much difficulty doing many of the things you've been trying to do, even without your tools.

Well, there goes my plan of trying to get the wrench back to use the Music Bubble to try and make some progress.

Alas.

Thinking where what remains might be. I recall the Vice Grips being necessary for that gap in the Crystal Palace, now that it's been mentioned, but I'm not sure where they'd be. The original cave had the Screwdriver, the Hourglass was in the...I already don't remember, the Pliers were in fake Gensokyo, the Tape Measure was in the ruined buildings, and the Magnifying Glass was in the wasteland. This place has the Wrench. This leaves the frond field, the Crystal Palace, the floating islands, and the color world, minus whichever place had the Magnifying Glass. Aside from the ~final boss gap~ that'll require everything, there's the Crystal Palace gap that needs the Vice Grips and the third of three gaps along the fold in the wasteland that also requires the Vice Grips.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #740 on:** February 24, 2014, 11:30:54 PM »

Well, that's the frond field, then. That leaves the Crystal Palace, the floating islands, and the color world as possible item locations, unless we get the Vice Grips soon and one of the two Vice Grips gaps opens to a new place.

I wanna take another look at that music with the Magnifying Glass. What say ye we head back that way?
