two immortals walk into a bar

[eonflamewing]

Come, all ye immortals... You walk into a bar. Maybe you were given a ticket by a fellow passing immortal, or had the prescience to obtain one yourself - whichever it is, the well-polished key will take you to an establishment that operates outside the confinements of spacetime. A bar exclusively for immortals, whether you were born this way or attained it as a mortal being. Gods, demons, vampires - no matter what you are, you are welcome here. It serves a myraid of drinks and snacks catered to the tastes of every world, so it's easy to find something palatable (even including human souls, if that's your preferred food). A corridor leads down the lounge to a variety of other rooms. Opening a door would transform it into a pool room, a singing room, or perhaps a quiet place for meditation. The establishment responds to the will of its patrons - as long as you behave, you will be allowed to stay here for as long as you like. Come in and take a seat. Maybe there's someone looking for you. [ this meme is for nonhuman characters who have lifespans longer than humans. OU, AU, OC, whichever goes! ]

"A bit, " he admits. "But it's hardly ever been my choice - well. Ryan was, strictly speaking. But I didn't pick Mago, my mistress demanded something that would suit her language better, and Rasmus was the idea of my wife at that time. ...Technically, my great-grandson suggested Ryan."

"I think if I tried to suggest to my great-granddaughter that I change my name, she would think I was crazy," Stone says with half a smile, one that shows sharp teeth-- not vampire fangs. Just several sharp teeth, like any predator might have. "Why do you have to keep changing it? Besides the Mago one, that one's obvious."

"Killing," pronounced more like 'Shilling', "decided to rename himself to 'Lamb' from the perfectly normal name that his parents had given him, so he couldn't really talk even if Ryan Butler hadn't been his idea in the first place." There are other reasons why Killing would have no leg to stand on when talking about 'crazy', primarily his Clan's curse. But that's not something for him to bring up.

"I mostly changed to that one because it would stand out less in English-speaking countries, and because people kept mispronouncing my birth name anyway." He shrugs. "Rasmus was for cover."

"So you're going with Ragnar these days, then?" Just to clarify, since he said it was the one he'd been born with, and all the others seem to have come later. "Just so I know what to call you."

"Ragnar always works. I mean, that's just me.

The others are... additional names." Which he neither minds terribly nor is super excited about. It's just a thing. "You've never had another name? Why?" That seems much stranger to him.

"I never had any need to change it," Stone shrugs. "Raksura only really change their names when their life situation changes dramatically-- a warrior changes her name from Swift to Sorrow when her court is destroyed, say. I suppose I could have when my queen died, but I was too used to it, by then, and everybody knew who I was so it would have just looked dramatic, anyway." He may in fact be dramatic, but there's no reason to make it look worse.
