Birthday Party
Who: Paul Atreides and all his CR
What: Throwing everyone’s favorite Duke a surprise birthday party
When: Forwarded dated to April 1st
Where: Bone House in Gaze
Content Warnings: Drinking, underage drinking, drugs (both fictional and not), drawings of space worms, skeletons, will add further warnings if necessary
When you arrive at the house in Gaze, (affectionately known as Bone House), a skeleton will open the door and offer to take your coat if you have one. No need to take your shoes off or anything!
The large house has been decorated with black streamers and confetti. In the entryway and hung on the railing to the second floor that overlooks the entrance to the great room are large banners that say “HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL” (though one looks like it used to say “Jaune” but was just painted over? Whatever).
In the Living Room, there is a large board and various colored markers for people to write messages to the birthday boy. There is also a table full of bottled water and various couches, chairs, and beanbags to collapse into if the party gets to be too much and one needs a quiet place to rest or a place to chill if you’ve imbibed too much… well, whatever you had.
It is also where all the food and drinks are.
There’s an extremely large charcuterie board with the usual meats, cheeses, and olives as well as an extremely eccentric collection of snacks ranging from individual sized Cheez-it bags, to humungous bags of Doritos and salty chips, as well as nearly every kind of Oreo one can imagine.
There are also various cakes, all angel food. Some are misshapen, some have an attempt at being frosted with whipped cream and fruit, one even says “Happy Birthday Ka-” before that was hastily covered with a bunch of strawberries jammed really close together.
At the island, a skeleton is playing bartender. Surprisingly, it can seem to take and understand individual orders, but there’s always a constant flow of tequila shots being made and sent out to the great hall to be served by another skeleton.
And, no, of course it’s not going to check your age to see if you’re legal. It’s a skeleton. Why would it care?
The Great Hall is the center of activity and where everyone is encouraged to mingle and have fun. There is a skeleton on the grand piano in the corner gleefully playing piano covers of the hits from the Shrek Soundtrack with the occasional cover of “DaRude’s Sandstorm” when it has another one to help out.
In another corner, on huge piece of paper that spans nearly 6ft wide and 8ft tall is drawing of an Arrakis sandworm and it’s giant maw. The game is Pin the Tooth on the Sandworm and it’s… very easy… because the worm maw is most of the board. Even if the skeleton spins you as you’re blindfolded, it’s pretty hard to lose. If you manage to do it, which is likely, the skeleton running the game will award you a tequila shot! If you lose, the skeletons will award you a tequila shot (but it’s rail).
(It’s a drinking game, isn’t the point to drink?)
There’s also a table that has many candelabras on it, numbering up to seventeen. They’re still lit and burning even though there is a sign that says “make a wish!” even though it almost looks like a shrine for the dead.
…It’s maybe clear that the concept of “birthday candles” was greatly misunderstood.
There is also a skeleton dealing out small doses of “Spice”, a psychoactive drug straight outta the Duneverse. However, you must check in with this Skeleton to get a dose. There will be no “permanently melting your brain with ancestral memories” at this party!
Teacher’s/God’s/Jod’s/The Emperor Undying’s study, adjacent to the main hall, is closed and locked. Though, the lock is fairly easy to break if someone really wanted to get in. There’s not even skeletons guarding.
That said, many things are warded with eerie runes of blood and bone.
So, fuck around and find out.
The upstairs is generally off limits. Party goers can climb up the stairs, and it’s encouraged if they want to look over the Great Room from above, but all of the bedrooms are carefully guarded by more skeletons who will SCREAM VERY LOUDLY if you try to enter and will become hostile if done by force.
Of course, this won’t happen if you are with someone who lives in the house.
Enjoy the party! Mingle away!

shouto todoroki | my hero academia
WaldoShouto?!a. Napping!
[ Halfway through the party, Todoroki can be found standing near the gaming area just outside the circle of players seemingly watching the game unfold. At least, that's what he was doing at the start. Midway through the game, his eyes start to lid and like a pro, he starts napping upright without a care in the world. Gotta get that shut-eye anyway he can. ]
b. Sitting!
[ After writing his detailed birthday greeting to Paul, Todoroki is shuffled out into the party by their host where he promptly gets lost in the throng of people. Not one big on conversations, games, movies, drinking, sugar, or whatever form of entertainment a healthy teenager his age would like, he finds himself near the collection of cakes or misshapen attempts at one. He doesn't judge. What gets his attention is the very prominent "Ka" where there should be a "Pa". The rest is lost under a collage of strawberries obscuring the name. ]
Isn't it Paul? Not Kaul?
[ He is very confused. Someone, please get him away from this unfolding mystery. Thankfully, he doesn't linger and picks up a water bottle before settling himself on a more conservative choice of seating than the bean bag next to him. Don't mind him just sipping his water.
Shouto Todoroki, everyone! What a party animal! ]
c. Napping!
[ Sometime between his first nap. Sitting in the living room sipping his water, Todoroki finds himself roped into other entertainments, likely by one of his friends. When they finally go off to do their own thing, the tired teen finds himself a nice little corner and leans against the wall where he promptly takes a nap standing up. Again. This time, there's a prominent frozen ball of air emanating from his nose. Someone, please pop it - if you dare! There's also a bit of drool at the corner of his mouth. What a charmer, this one! ]
ii. Wildcard
[ ooc; write up your own prompt or mix and match. Have at it! I'll make it work. ]
Sitting!!
[She and her mom got one of those cake mix boxes (because they're cheap as hell), and baked a cake. Ochako made a mistake with the icing and they all sort of laughed about it before eating together. Ochako's pretty sure her mom still has the picture somewhere, buried in an old photo album back home.
Regardless, Ochako is definitely going in for a piece of said cake. Her sweet tooth cannot be contained.]
no subject
[ Most of the cakes he's seen in his life were all from shops where mistakes were rare. Rarer still for Endeavor to let him have a piece. Too rich. ]
Did you [ a look her way ] make it?
no subject
Did I make the cake for my papa? Yeah!! My mama and I usually make easy ones from box mixes, or when we can afford the ingredients, we'll make one from scratch. Buying from from a bakery is really, really expensive...s-so we only ever got one of those for Christmas.
[Christmas/her birthday, which fall around the same time more or less, considering Ochako's birthday is two days after the holiday.]
no subject
That sounds better than the store-bought ones.
[ A bakery could never compare to the love poured into a simple box mix. ]
no subject
It actually gives her an idea.]
Mmhm!! They're pretty tasty if you get creative. Ne, Todoroki-kun...when's your birthday, again?
[Not at all subtle, but maybe it's close enough to plan ahead to make him a simple cake!]
no subject
My birthday? [ The question throws him off balance and he looks a bit puzzled. It's odd someone didn't know the details of his life. Refreshing. ]
January 11th. [ It passed not too long ago. ] I'm 17 now.
[ And sporting a new set of Paleblood earrings on his left ear courtesy of Madame Generosity and an altered mindset that made him a lot more open and friendly. The two loops at the bottom and the cuff near the top of his ear are made from his blood and the major difference in his appearance. ]
no subject
But oh, that actually has Ochako pouting a little, shoulders sagging.]
Oh...I missed it then. [She sighs, wrinkling her nose because, once again, her peers are older than her. Even when she was in Nippon, she avoided having her own birthday roll over. Bakugou had it happen twice now.] Aah...I'm still a year behind everyone now!! I'm supposed to be older than you normally, at least!!
[Since her birthday is in December. She sighs, but blinks as she notices his earrings, tilting her head to one side and pointing them out curiously.]
Eh, Todoroki-kun...I never noticed before. You pierced your ears?
no subject
It was two months ago.
[ Not even registering the sad expression just stating facts as he does. ]
Huh. [ A tilt of his head; looking at you, Ochako. ] I forgot about that. [ He's the second youngest in the class, not that he ever took note of it. ]
When is your birthday? [ Now, he's curious. Maybe he can get her a cake. Trade for a very nice one. As for the question - ]
Oh. [ He forgot about that. ] I guess I did.
[ Todoroki! Don't just leave it at that! Elborate! Sadly... he does not. ]
no subject
Mm? Oh, it's December 27!! [And what with all the world-hopping and time shenanigans she's gone through from back home, Nippon, and now Trench... Ochako should have been at least two, maybe even three and a half months closer to her birthday. Bakugou is technically having his twice within the span of a few weeks. She might be a little bit salty about that...and being the youngest now.....probably...]
But tell me when you got your ears pierced!! Was that recent? I never thought of you as one to do something like that, Todoroki-kun. It's really pretty...
[It's fine, Ochako is more than capable of asking 3000 questions and moving the conversation along. She missed her friends terribly, so getting a chance to talk to them is just...it's nice.]
no subject
December... near the holidays.
[ He had no idea. They all celebrated together before the holidays but most students went home during the week of Christmas and New Year's. ]
I'll make sure to get you something this time... if you're still here.
[ A better gift than the one he'll ultimately get Bakugou for his. He'll be better at gift-giving by then!
Hopefully!]Ah... [ He touches his ear at the mention of piercing, thoughts winding back to that turbulent month. ] I don't remember much of that time. I was under the influence of my Patron Pthumerian, Madame Generosity.
no subject
The fear is still very real, especially knowing now they can be shot off to other worlds entirely. Ochako forces the smile back on her face, though it's frayed at the edges, and there's a slight quiver in her voice.]
Th-Thank you, Todoroki-kun! You don't have to do that, but...if you do, I'll treasure whatever you get me for sure. [She clears her throat, trying to calm her nerves a bit, or just distract herself.] Oh! That's the one I think I have, too. It's like a big ol' snake, right? Something like that? I heard they give gifts on your birthday and stuff sometimes.
no subject
Is something wrong?
[ He asks, not exactly a detective when it comes to the range of human expression. Fortunately for her, he's gullible and is easily led astray by his friends.
How do you think Deku got away with all his terrible lies?And when it comes to coincidences, it's even easier to distract him. ]You do? [ Color him surprised. He nods at the description, somehow feeling a little closer to her than he did a few seconds ago.
Patron buddies!]That's right. She used my blood to make these. [ A tap on one of the cuffs. ] I've started having visions ever since. [ Just gonna casually drop a bombshell. ] I don't remember much about it. I think I was under her influence the whole month. [ So, he's sadly lacking in details. ]
no subject
It's pathetic, isn't it? And more than anything, Ochako doesn't want to be seen as weak, pathetic, or frail around the three strongest people in her class. So, she moves on swiftly.]
Mm, I'm pretty sure. One of the people that welcome you here told me. I'm not sure how they know, but...they said it was her - Madam Generosity. [And they seemed pretty happy about it? Apparently the snake god...thingy was relatively well liked in Trench.] Eeee, really?! Like about the future and stuff?! That's so cool... Does it work if you take the earring off? Or only when it's on?
[Is it like a second quirk completely, or like...equipping a magical item like in a video game?]
no subject
She's well liked. [ He confirms.
You don't want to know why...]I'm a Paleblood, so it seems to have kickstarted that part of my blood-magic. Shortly after receiving them, I got my first vision when you and Bakugou arrived during our mission to retrieve Midoriya.
[ Have another bombshell casually dropped in like an add-on accessory. ]
I don't think it works if you take them off unless you're a Paleblood. [ As it stands he doesn't need them anymore to generate visions of the future, but he's grown used to it and it's easier to leave them in than to take them out. ]
no subject
Wha--it happened during that?! Are you okay, Todoorki-kun?! That must've been really shocking... [It'd explain why he was a bit quiet, and looked kind of pale. Honestly, Ochako just thought it was due to...everything they went through with the rescue. That entire ordeal was harrowing, tiring, and emotionally draining. Add all that to her blood ailment, and Ochako was just...completely wrung out after it.]
Mm, I think i'm still figuring out the different blood types... I know if you have a certain kind, you can sometimes get a new qui--eh, sorry...a new power, I guess. I haven't found anything different with mine, yet. I still just have Zero Gravity - my quirk - as far as I know. [She pauses, looking first at her hands, then at Todoroki with a bit of concern.] It didn't hurt at all, did it? The vision...um. I-I mean, having a new qui--power. You're okay, right?
[When Izuku's new quirk manifested, it went wild, so...she's just worried.]
no subject
I've seen others have visions before. I know what to expect, but knowing something is different from experiencing it.
[ He kept referring to them as quirks for the first few months. He understands where you're coming from. As for the concern, it's been a while since he's been on the other side of this. His expression changes faintly, kinder. ]
I'm okay. The second one was easier than the first. [ And his third will be easier still. ] You don't have to worry about me.
How are you and Bakugou taking to Trench?
no subject
I can only imagine...
[She still looks a little concerned, worrying her lip between her teeth, and wringing her hands together. Ochako just cares a lot, okay? She hasn't seen her other friends in months, so she's far more protective of them now.]
Mm, it's harder than Nippo--oh! Actually, Todoroki-kun...did Bakugou-kun already tell you this isn't the first world we've been to?
no subject
[ But as usual, he gave no details, so he's completely out of the loop there. ]
How was it?
(no subject)
(no subject)
(no subject)
Sitting
He grabs the cake knife and with a needless flourish for cutting cake (more like if he had to chop the head off a vegetable) cut out a piece that the "KA" is placed on, puts it on a plate, and gives it to Todoroki: AKA the person who noted the crime. If the witness eats the evidence, then there is no crime, right?]
Ah, a mystery. Thanks for dealing with it.
no subject
... I haven't dealt with it. [ A pause. ] Do you... want me to?
napping: c edition
And now this. This fucking idiot. Seriously... Katsuki has taken a nap or two around their class, either in the common area of the dorms or on transport to whatever training they had at a given time, but this? How the fuck can he SLEEP in a crowd of drunk, drugged up people, strangers, so easily? Maybe they aren't all strangers to the other teen, but there's no fuckin' way he knows all of 'em.
Also? That nose bubble is ridiculous and asking for it. So that's how he ends up leaving his secluded corner to plop down in a bean bag directly across from Todoroki, and that's how Todoroki ends up getting nailed in the face--and bet that he didn't fucking miss the bubble, with a hot cheeto.
The antagonizing that Katsuki dishing out to each of them is well deserved, in his mind. That's what they get for making him feel like he needs to babysit.]
no subject
A wrinkle of his nose. A crease of his brow, and seconds later, the bubble bursts. He sneezes sending that hot Cheeto flying straight back at Bakugou as he startles awake, freezing the ground beneath him and a good chunk of the wall. ]
no subject
The blond just cocks an eyebrow at Todoroki, and the icy mess he's reflexively shot out, reaching into his back to pull another one out and pop it into his mouth. Chewing and swallowing before addressing the idiot across from him, Katsuki might be rude as fuck but he does have some manners on occasion.] Wow. You're a fuckin' disaster. [ Says the guy who's got faint bruising over his nose and under his eyes, clearly working his way through healing a broken nose.] How the hell can you sleep through this shit?
no subject
I can sleep through anything.
[ He answers without taking his eyes off his task, yawning at the end. ]
