A nasty brew!

Faeries have very keen hearing when they want to, and dark faeries perhaps the keenest of all. It was just too bad for BobIsForever that one particular shadow that night turned out to be Jhudora.

"Well, well," she cackled softly to herself. "So the little lupe wants to change his name? What a convenient experiment for that name-change potion I've had kicking around for eons. We can't let this one go, can we?" A small puff of smoke and one last sinister chuckle marked where she had been.

Just as he had expected, BobIsForever had a less than happy time at the party. In fact, he wound up hanging out at the punch bowl, miserably wondering if simply tipping the thing over and running for it would be better than having to tell everyone that, no, the name wasn't a typo, yes it stank, yeah he went by Bob, or Forever...

His ears shot up straight when he heard a low hiss. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a dark purple figure beckoning him through the open french windows. He abandoned the party without a second thought and slipped out into the night.

"Anything you want, of course. What else?"

"Yeah, but... how does it know?"

Jhudora's evil chuckle failed to warn BobIsForever of the possible danger he was running. "It doesn't. Your name changes to the first word- or phrase- that you say after you drink it."

"Ohhhh...." BobIsForever fell silent for a minute, thinking hard about what he could change his name to. He failed to notice the intent look he was getting from Jhudora, or the faint smile that pulled at the corners of her mouth. "Ohhkay, bottoms up!" He popped the cork off the potion and gulped it all down rapidly.
