I am sure you are joking, but the actual text is:Clearly that was an autocorrect error: Better Questionably Practical Weapons can actually be bought from the Merchants
Questionably Practical Weapon - Jägerstock (Tales of Symphonia) Free:
You're fighting with that? Really? And merchants will sell you more and more deadly upgrades? If you want this can be a well crafted mundane weapon instead.
Plus it did work that way for Joe and his dueling cape.

I didn't know about it or rather I read it and then forgot about it.
It's still bad form to do a fiat backed taunt. Not against any rules or so but it could go against the spirit. It might even be dangerous to do it if there's unknown thinkers can could somehow detect it. Like if a thinker could detect that Apeiron is trying to do something and he managed to do to something when something else simultaneously happend. I mean that a thinker could detect Apeiron's reaction to fiat not fiat itself.
Ofcourse capes still flexes with powers in canon there so who knows.

Exactly, the M was supposed to be capitalised, silly autocorrect

Take already powerful mass of tentacles that feed on life energy. Add an unlimited emotion based energy source.
So this is how Eldritch Gods are formed.

Apeiron has enough other tricks and boosters to make up for whatever Tybalt has over him. Tybalt is not even a servent, lacks aura, and can't shoot divine weapons at supersonic speeds.

Personally, I find the number of free perks with the Devil May Cry perk to be a good call, even with the short chapter for this story. Yes, it came right on the heels of Felyne, but it was also the last crafting perk and I feel that should be special and celebrated.
I know some people didn't like the number of perks squeezed into this chapter, but these were important milestones that people have been clamoring over, the companion and the last perk in a constellation. It would have been easier to have dealt with in a larger chapter, but the situation just didn't allow it and LordR goes above and beyond on a regular basis anyway.
Thank you @LordRoustabout.

Incorrect, this is how the heroes that face eldritch gods are born. Despite appearances to the contrary, Zion is the eldritch monster and Tetra Is the super hero outfit/magical girl here.
I was going to say that Joe should fight leviathan, what with his fire abilities, but then I remembered that Cousin Tybalt (who is Juliet's cousin in the play, btw) also has fire abilities, so now I wanna

Well, with the Capstone Constellation debuting, I suppose LordR will have to decide on whether or not those "possible" perks become actual ones. The one I'm most wanting from the possible list is Eyes of the World, because Jozef just can't get enough beauty enhancing powers....
To summarize 17k words:
- Aisha starts learning Alchemy.
- Joe gets a cat demigod as a companion (Tybalt). We learn Aisha thinks cats are adorable.
- Confirmation that bodies are being built for Fleet and Survey.
- Everyone is going to the Rock meeting who wants to go.
- Tetra is starting to question her place in the world, especially with Tybalt being Joe's new companion.
This was hands down one of the best chapters yet!!
Tybalt is already fantastic and adds a well appreciated character type to the dynamic of this story, while I'm also glad that Tetra is getting some much needed and anticipated development on their end. Not even mentioning the other milestones and moments that made this a lovely read.
It's astounding how even a million words in (give or take with perk descriptions) you're still steadily moving this story forward and having impactful, interesting things happen.
Thanks for your continued work and looking forward to the future!!

Of course they won't assume that. That would be prejudice, and the PRT couldn't possibly be prejudiced against Tybalt for his species!

Sterile, institutional walls.
Soul-crushing monotony.
Truly this is where fashion is born!
I did know a pharmacist who mentioned that there's no point to memorizing references.
Even if you think you know it by heart, it would be irresponsible not to double check anyway.
Point of order, he can be judged based on his behavior like nobody else.
Good or bad, everyone is judged on some superficial things.
This is the overpowered ability that you had to upend everything for, isn't it?
I can already see how this will completely change the way Somer's Rock plays out!

So... Everyone at Somer's is hoping that Aperion will be more laid back and less completely insane and will let them go about their business without interference now that March is gone (except for at least one guy who wants healing), and Aperion strolls in with an actual fucking Team that includes a demigod berserker cat, an angry cloth mink, some snazzy Gloves (more than can feasibly be worn at one time with two hands), a distributed AI intelligence, a nanobot swarm, a centralized AI, and a girl in an invincible hard suit that can sneak up on you no matter what.
Plus the Undersiders, who knew about none of this despite being the closest people working with him, and literally being related to at least one of these people.
Yeah, Aperion definitely thought this out correctly and will definitely not be causing the city to erupt in another ridiculous round of panic.

Speaking of Tetra becoming a Kamui, what design do you all think she will take if/when she becomes one? I am thinking some sort of skin tight bodysuit that is worn under Apeiron's costume with some belts and straps attached to weave into his Iconic Outfit and armor plates/weapons.
Then again, I have never watch Kill-La-Kill and just looked at the wiki page for Kamui and noted the more coverage the more powerful but also the greater potential drain, which Joe should be able to handle even if he crafts Tetra into some divine, perfect Kamui.

For some reason this chapter made me wonder if saint Seiya cloths counts as tech but good chapter and I can't wait to see how man more chapter you can fit in before the meeting, it honestly amusing.
While I agree that a lot of cosmetic perks are silly, even the ones that have potential to be interesting (such as the posing and innuendo) would require Joe to actually interact with people outside his immediate circle more. Edit: In addition, outside of the initial explanation of innuendo, we've only see one potential case of it during the Bakuda/March pre-fight chat. It hasn't come up in any of Joe's conversations since then, which given how the perk/power was written, I thought we'd see more signs of Joe restraining himself when he speaks/thinks.
Saint is likely screwed for reasons completely unrelated to Joe. If it comes out that they're in the bay because of being hired by the ABB (something that Lisa is likely to fire off, because she's Lisa), there's a really good chance that the Truce won't protect them. The Dragonslayers aren't parahumans, after all, and the ABB is radioactive right now. Some of that might even drift to Uber and Leet if they show up.
I don't read the thread comments that often, but I've seen multiple people comment about Aisha. It's probably been brought up before, but Aisha in canon is suspected to have some form of ADD, and basically lived in a crapsack family environment. What's interesting is that since being healed by Joe (prior to the 2nd Uber and Leet fight), she's seemingly calmed down quite a bit, and seems more reliable. Part of that is due to the trust Joe has extended, which she doesn't want to let down, but another part is, like what his conversation with Regent went over, he likely fixed any issues on a biological level that she had. In addition, her relationship to her father seems drastically improved from how it was in canon due to her 'stepping up' when he got hurt, something no one in the family expected, which is likely due to her interactions with Joe (someone who extends her actual trust rather than expecting her to fuck up.)
I personally find it amusing to find Aisha acting like a kid again.
Gods, please no.
There's going to be some. A month or so ago when the chapter with the meeting with Brian and Lisa took place, he even made a comment about it, and from the read it sounded like he was even considering letting Lisa tell him how to make the maximum impact. Whether it goes over the top or is relatively small is another thing altogether.
I'd be curious how many words it'd be if we stripped the TInker-babble out. Not trying to start an argument, but I'm genuinely curious. I know Trailblazer hit 1 million words not that long ago (and not many fics reach that level while still being enjoyable to read.)
Technically, he had ways of doing that before this chapter's perk/power dump.

It's important to note that he can also choose to make the superficial judgement stronger when it would be useful to him.

"The sign clearly says 'no shirt, no shoes, no service' but it says nothing about pants!"
he wouldn't do that for the same reasons he isn't fixing the city. If he does, the PRT and protectorate will collapse and cause massive damage to the city due to politics
that said, he might open up with
"As the second most powerful cape here, I would like for us to start the meeting now"
like say, getting judged as a few feet tall, 4 pound soaking wet fluffball with an adorable outfit?

I think his power would even let that be the judgment while he is gnawing on your face in a berserker rage. Which is absolutely terrifying. On like, a number of levels.
