After it has been made very clear that all the potential inheritors to the lordship of magic Las Vegas are some kind of absurd supernatural beings, my players in a Dresden Files campaign used their ability to see souls on two (after having already met several demigods, cambiones and so on) and two of them went "What are we supposed to do, they are a demigod and nephilim?"
Third Player (Yog Sothoth cultist): Why are you hiding behind the pillar *His character is still leaving the class he was teaching and not there yet*
Me: You've talked to a demigod, possibly demonic mafia member, eldritch abomination in human form, a nephilim already
Berserker and Wizard: But what are we supposed to do
Me: The two are walking away with the student tour group
B and W: *continuing to panic*
Me: They are walking away
B and W: *hiding behind pilar*
Me: The other teacher is leading the group away, staring back at you with no idea why you guys are being weird
B and W: What do we do?
Me: And they are gone
Cultist: *trying to comprehend why the two are panicking after using the third eye which always results in weird and trippy stuff*
Me: Roll alertness you see a horrific bug monster with a mosquito's face, wings of a locust, body of a praying mantis, and tail of a scorpion
Berserker and Wizard were confused about why they were attacked by a Denarian while being weird and stalking a Nephilim after they'd been told about the denarians last session by a Nephilim, had it confirmed that they had been smacked around by a denarian, and that the Denarians had been making nephilim
Meanwhile
Yog Sothoth Cultist: I bless this fountain in the name of my god *makes the denarian's legs explode since it was in the fountain having a fistfight with the Berserker*
two of the player characters ended up in the hospital (with one contracting the bubonic plague) after half the courtyard was blown up and the third lawyered up when the cops were asking about the multiple stab wounds and claimed terrorist attack
We did however have the berserker punching so hard it cracked the denarian's skull, it healed but still.
I do have the problem of two of my players always asking to be told what to do otherwise they are stunned in inaction and end up with stuff happening around them while they stare.
