HA! This is great! Awesome chapter!
You always manage character interactions so well! I always enjoy seeing Joe interact with someone that isnt part of the forge or Aisha.
You can tell Joe is happy too by the end.
Wonder how the boosted blood would affect Tetra...

Considering the shenanigans they did, social skills are beyond them as well. It probably took the entire pantheon's worth of blessing to give Joe a normal human level of it

I think this went as well as impossible could, considering how any relationships or even long-term exposure to people would be a bit risky for the main character considering how often and fast he changes.

Yeah, actually, they do - especially if they've had to endure massive social trauma.
Nah, I get it. It's not exams for me either. It's the freaking application process that causes my anxiety. I can handle the SAT, Two final exams on the same day, the MCAT (SAT for doctors). But for the life of me I cannot fill out an application form in one go without having a slight panic attack and turning off the computer. The interview, fine. The test to join, fine. The essay, I'm just bad at writing but no anxiety. The application, just kill me.

I'll be honest, while I really enjoyed the chapter, what I'm enjoying more is how it seems like the slate is finally cleaning. Before Joe had just as many (if not more) new issues to deal with popping up as he had ones getting resolved and the grind felt (unfortunately) realistically wearing.

Yeah, exams have never really been a…problem so to say, at least not in their entirety. Like, I've been stressed for exams before, but I've gone into them with a care free attitude of "If I do well, I do well, if I don't, I don't. All I care about is passing."
That, however, then leads to the stress of waiting for the results to come back. Which is infinitely more stressful than doing the actual exam, at least for me.
Other than the discussion of stress from exams, Chapter was exceptionally good, IMO. Glad Joe and Crystal are both having good things happen for them. Glad that Joe's come out of his bubble, at least in regards to romance. And him just straight up asking if Crystal wanted to meet up again in the future, really goes to show just how far his character has come, from the dude who was so romance averse that the thought of people making jokes on the Internet about his potential romance with his professors daughter caused him to nearly panic, to what he is now.
Like everyone's said in the past, this story does amazing things for characterization and development and I fucking love it.

What does the Bloodborne capstone do again?
Survey would be very offended by this statement, before demanding a report on which factors were overlooked so she could initiate a new model that took those factors into account...

They have mantic cores. Brockton Bay is reduced to a smoldering crater full of corpses in the middle of the date and restored back like nothing ever happened by the end of it

It enhances any of the 600 CP Bloodborne perks you pick up. The only one in the Celestial Forge is Blood Artisan Plus. This combination lets you express crystalized blood in any shape you imagine (though more complicated shapes take more time/concentration), as well as the ability to reshape any held blood-crystal structures, or to change the properties of the blood-crystal. Make it harder or softer, flexible, or even esoteric abilities like "channels magic into a spell" or "resonates with psychic energy" or something like that.
Soo..did he just sneak in some mystical healing effect when he was pointing out the pressure point?

Crystal certainly had opinions about how she wanted to close out her conversation with Joe.
Kim & Dwight: "Oh right, that one thing that we totally had planned, for which we have to leave right now before Crystal keeps staring at us."
This is the Spiral Power mindset, he finally did it, we reached endgame!
I mean that was the joke. It took the divine blessings of an entire pantheon of gods (plus extra forge buffs) but Joe was able to pull off a "normal" social interaction with enough social buffs that a person who wasn't starting in the negatives for their social stats to have accomplished world domination. Joe actually mentioned in an earlier chapter he figured out how to manipulate the entire worlds media system to convey information effectly, he just can't do it in one on one conversations.Considering the shenanigans they did, social skills are beyond them as well. It probably took the entire pantheon's worth of blessing to give Joe a normal human level of it
I think the Journey to the West quote implies he "mildly" unlocked her chi, but we will have to see if the WoG for this chapter answers anything for certain.
