  • After explaining to Grace her impending execution and that she has a week to prove her innocence, Athena cheerfully offers her a cookie.
  • Oracle doesn't really believe that Apollo is the God of Prophecy, and calls him Paul. Apparently she's just a kid who showed up at his door one day and he lets her stay, and she indulges what she believes is delusions of grandeur because he gives her a place to stay.
    • At one point she tells Apollo to get her an ethernet cable. Apollo doesn't know what that is.
  • If you talk to Freddie about what Kaz and Brian are up to, Grace will mention that Kaz must still be sleeping on Brian's couch - only for Freddie to point out that Brian doesn't actually have a couch, therefore Kaz is sleeping... somewhere else in the apartment. Freddie assumes they'll come out with it when they're ready.
  • If Freddie and Hecate are allowed to hit it off due to the former's love of knowledge and books, they discuss their interests over tea. Grace is forced to be there, looking like a third wheel who's very put out by this inopportune newfound friendship. If you later ask Freddie to distract Hecate, they start talking about The Twilight Saga, of all things. Hecate does not understand why you would write about a sparkly vampire, as real vampires aren't anything like that.
    • Prior to this, Hecate is a bit of a Drama Queen upon seeing Freddie, declaring that, due to a Mortal knowing about Idols, that "WE HAVE BEEN REVEALED! WE ARE UNDONE!" - complete with fainting arms pose!
      • Upon learning that Calliope is dead eleven months ahead of schedule, Hecate is rightfully curious about how she could be wrong.
        Hecate: You will both sit, and you will explain. There will be tea.
  • In the blue path of "Cast A Spell", Grace and Freddie encourage Asterion by pointing out that Hecate hasn't left yet. She points out that she's standing right there.
    • In the green path of the song where Asterion and Hecate end up together, her final line is "But do we have enough leather?" While this is probably referencing bookbinding, and earlier lines about writing her own story, the more immediate and obvious implication is...decidedly less safe for work. It doesn't help that she's in her giant form when she says this.
      • The implication is reinforced by Hecate exiting the scene saying she must "find an appropriate outfit.". Later during the epilogue, it is also mentioned that she's been bragging about Asterion's "sexual prowess".
    • If you sarcastically ask if "It was written" that Asterion loved her, she'll reply that yes, it is... but she is also meant to be unaware of Asterion's feelings until he confesses them to her.
      Freddie: But you knew that.
      Hecate: I follow the rules. It is written.
  • When Asterion laments his inability to confess his feelings to Hecate, he adds offhandedly that he accidentally killed Hecate's cat, Baboo. In the epilogue of the game, if you chose either the green or red paths for her, Medusa is mentioned to have had an "accident" with Hecate's new cat, Sherbert.
    • In the run-up to meeting Asterion, Freddie mentions that he was known for eating people - and since she and Grace are there to help him with his love life...
      Freddie: Maybe he needs to stop eating his girlfriends. (Prolonged Beat) Knew that sounded wrong as soon as I said it.
  • Confronting Medusa has a number, depending on if you got Freddie, Pan, or both:
    • If Freddie shows up as backup, she's armed with a mace (not mace spray, an actual medieval mace) and a makeshift flamethrower. Grace can lampshade how silly it makes her look.
    • If choosing to make a distraction, Freddie will pose as a congoer and freak out over missing a photo shoot. Pan will pose as a music producer and indignantly freak out at the security for holding him up.
    • If Pan shows up as as backup and the player chooses to break into the building, Pan complains that he thought they'd use their wits to sneak in.
  • Despite being a very serious moment otherwise, Grace's journey to the Underworld has a few.
    • When Persephone storms into Hades to reclaim her throne, the music stops and she notes it.
    Persephone: (singing) Orpheus! I've been- (stops singing) What happened to the music?
    • Orpheus notes that he hasn't collaborated with anyone as talented as Grace in a long time, making an apologetic aside to one of the shades (whose name is Benny, who seems a bit bummed out by the comment).
    • If asked if he's really that good (instead of more pertinent questions), Orpheus breaks into an upbeat little ditty, cheered along by his chorus. Grace swiftly regrets her (and by extension, the player's) choice of question. It's the only time the game has the player make a different choice to the same prompt.
  • The gods have varying degree of tech savviness, but Apollo especially to Oracle's lament. He dislikes even using the phone.
  • If Grace romanced Apollo, during the Trial he says he wouldn't want to get cut to pieces with just anybody.
  • There are some funny dialogue for a few of the possible defenders during the Trial.
  • On meeting Asterion, Grace can ask if he's really the Minotaur who roamed a labyrinth and ate people. Asterion will confirm that the labyrinth part is true, but he never ate anyone...except Theseus, whom Asterion describes as a bellend.
