So, I made myself chuckle for a silly reason a little while ago.
I'm just going with the flow (As I tend to do) letting my characters be themselves.
Poseidon the goddess of water is usually one of those 'mortals are beneath me' types but she finds the main party interesting enough to be around.
After she makes a request to the Party to solve a dispute, that may result in war. The party says they first have to get through a fog barrier surrounding her continent.
She takes out a small (Well for her, she's the giantest giant to ever giant) paper fan. And offers to bless the groups vessel with a mighty gale.
My 'sassy' member of the group comments 'you're going to generate a gale with THAT tiny thing'
Poseidon folds her arms in a huff and goes: "I mean what else am I supposed to use? Alternatively I could bend over and...some guys are into that, apparently?"
The entire group is horrified at the suggestion. And quickly deny the option. Poseidon Calls them 'boring' for doing so.
I may or may not remove the joke during the edit, but for now it stays. It made me smile and fits the tone of the adventure quite nicely lol (The story is a comedy anyway so I might keep it, but it might not make it past a proper editor depending on a few things)
If any scene in this story establishes the tone of the adventure at all, it's 100% this one. It still takes itself seriously when the plot requires it, but we also have stuff like this.
