Happy WBW! What's the humor like in your world? Are most people dark in their humor or like the light and fluffy of it all? Does sarcasm rule or are set-up punchline formulas the way to go? How do your characters' individual humors factor in?
Humor isn't something I've thought about much, but I suppose it depends on the time period. The time period in which Vantage is had very light humor. As they're currently in the middle of a war, dark humor is considered distasteful and is frowned upon. The only place where it's considered acceptable is in the slums, because the poorest of the poor could care less about the war as their conditions are already awful. Sarcasm is a more widely used than set-up punchlines. Set-up punchlines are commonly used by nobles and aristocrats, while soldiers, knights and common people are more likely to use sarcasm. Cleo sucks at telling jokes, and they always end up feeling awkward. Lorraine's humor is childish and lighthearted. Renth's humor is sarcastic but tactful.
That's all! Have a great WBW everyone! :D
