Misplaced Retribution | |
| My Dinner with Ares / int_2e8875f0 | comment |
Misplaced Retribution: Ogbunabali regales Ares about a time Fury Central sent him to reap Divine Punishment on a mortal for getting in a car accident with a demigod. When he does some digging, he finds out that not only was the demigod at fault for driving under the influence, but while the demigod made a full recovery thanks to his divine heritage, the mark had to walk with a limp because the accident broke his leg in three place. The only reason why Ogbunabali was sent after him was because the demigod's godly parent commissioned the hit. Ogbunabali was so ashamed of this, he falsified a report claiming that justice was served, knowing Fury Central is too bogged down to even bother looking into it. | |

Hate Plague | |
| My Dinner with Ares / int_57cf76a1 | comment |
Hate Plague: Being a War God, Ares's presence tends to cause humans to become irritable and prone to fighting, a problem only compounded by Ogbunabali's aura of death making everyone on edge. | |

The Grim Reaper | |
| My Dinner with Ares / int_7142b38a | comment |
The Grim Reaper: Ogbunabali is a God of Death and Divine Punishment of the Igbo faith that takes on a variety of forms that inspire dread, though he prefers the Tall, Dark, and Handsome look when off the clock. | |

NiceToTheWaiter | |
| My Dinner with Ares / int_a39d6056 | comment |
Nice to the Waiter: Ares insists on calling his waiter a "wench" because he "does a wench's work", which clearly irritates the waiter. | |

Modernized God | |
| My Dinner with Ares / int_a54f2b08 | comment |
Modernized God: The form Ares takes in this story is a gruff man in modern camo-fatigues along with the old Spartan helmet. He also carries a Glock pistol along with the old shield and sword. | |

Divine Punishment | |
| My Dinner with Ares / int_a90e72a7 | comment |
Divine Punishment: Fury Central is a Celestial Bureaucracy ran and operated by gods who's job is to reap divine justice on souls guilty of some great sin or violating some sacred law. Because of sheer workload, they will often commission gods who's domain falls under their business model in order to keep their quota. | |

Money Is Not Power | |
| My Dinner with Ares / int_bfb5f597 | comment |
Money Is Not Power: Ogbunabali regales to Ares about a follower who he kept alive for centuries in exchange for offerings, but eventually Ogbunabali had to reap his soul since no mortal can avoid death forever. In response, the man begged to be spared, offering everything from burning his entire fortune in his honor to having Steven Spielberg make a movie glorifying him. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
| My Dinner with Ares / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Being the personification of "the grim reality of oblivion", mortals tend to act like Ogbunabali isn't even there no matter what form he takes. | |

Humans Are Special | |
| My Dinner with Ares / int_e0207930 | comment |
Humans Are Special: While Ares thinks of mortals as quant but not worth getting worked up over, Ogbunabali sees them as more capable than most gods give them credit for, even pondering what it would be like to be mortal. | |

| My Dinner with Ares / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: When Ogbunabali's presence aggravates a man's preexisting heart condition, he causally wills it so that the condition won't kill him for another few years. | |
