Okay, Fightest, I'm going to assume you are at least caught up to
here on your own.
* Hakugyokurou was confirmed affected, so the transformation superceded realm boundaries. With Higan it's impossible to tell, but Komachi's coins were unaffected due to being more soul currency than capitalism currency, which means the focus really was monetary value. It seems the origin of this power is somewhere in Gensokyo; the way we've heard what we've heard heavily suggests, at least, that Bhava-Agra is not responsible.
* Kanako and Suwako believed the act to be one of faith. Patchouli has since said this is incorrect and that it's an act of something similar to faith but not actually faith. Whatever that could be. Apparently it's "some other aspect of the mind and soul".
* We've learned about Yorihime and that she more or less functions as a shrine maiden of the moon. There's an outside shot we'll get her investigative help but it's rather unlikely. We've also learned that Tewi has been missing from Eientei since this morning. From the most recent posts, it sounds like she was last seen heading south from the SDM. Also worth noting that Eirin was unable to make the meeting tonight due to unmentioned circumstances.
* Shinki has been mentioned as a possible culprit but deemed very unlikely by Marisa.
* The sword blade matches a broken hilt that's been in Kourindou since (I believe) Patchy Quest. We bought it for four bottles of 20-currency wine which we still need to deliver. A hole's been blown in the overall sword at the hilt that the human village blacksmith immediately said she couldn't fix since she couldn't even tell how the sword was made in the first place. Patchouli has found the writing on it is Celtic (the GFC had a cute little argument about the language that ended in both of them being wrong) and that there's some sort of odd power that it has inherited somehow, one which likely contributed to the blacksmith being unable to fix it. Meiling said she's seen a sword "like it" somewhere inside the SDM. I'm personally not convinced this is important but others have leaned that way a bit.
* (Two of) The PrismReznors have agreed to put on a concert for the Myouren Temple and give us Merlin's broken blade in exchange for the Myouren Temple fixing their roof and Shou apologizing to Merlin for Patchy Quest sitar trauma. Byakuren's already cashed in that concert, having them play for the human village to lift spirits.
* Renko was initially afraid of attending the Magic Club meeting due her history with Alice. Nothing seems to have gone awry just yet, though maybe the poison in their cake is slow-working.
* The Clay Sculpting Set that's been in Kourindou for the past couple of games is actually a lockpick set disguised as a scuplting set.
* Nitori's busy with something (I know what it probably is as a player, Nue has no clue) and Utsuho was theoretically with her. There's a "Go Away >:(" sign on her door. Pounding on it and shouting incendiary things did nothing.
* We have some food in our possession for when we get hungry.
* Isaiah Mustafa punched a hole in a wall.
* Flandre is the greatest gate guard of all time.
* The jeweler in the human village is a bro.
