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!

Johnny.

[she says it like a curse, but she's way too tired and it's way too early for her to put a ton of vitriol into it. until he calls her babe and throws a piss pillow at her, and she just punches it out of the air and lets it bounce off the floor away from both of them.]

Don't care how much space coke we all did last night, the 80s are over and I'm not your goddamned cleaning lady. Get up and clean your own piss.

[Things Anna doesn't need to put up with in the morning is that.

He's used to that tone and he immediately flops back on the ground and groans, turning away like the giant fifty year old man child he was.]


Ugh- The eighties might be gone but the spirit never dies.

...I will, fine.

Once the room stops spinning.

[He sort of fumbles around looking for a bottle of beer that isn't completely empty.]

Put the fucking—[god. is she gonna have to babysit a guy twenty years her senior? she comes closer and picks up a half-empty bottle that's definitely gone stale overnight, then clutches it by the neck close to her body.]

Stop pissing all over yourself and I'll get you some water and an aspirin. Sound like a deal, Esposito?

[She is probably stuck babysitting a giant man child. He vaguely reaches for the bottle as she scoops it up but it drops when it gets beyond where his fingers can touch.]

It's not fresh piss- That was hours ago.

Ugh... I don't need pills, I'm not a pussy.

I'm one hundred percent all man-

This is nothing.

[He starts to sit up until light from the window catches his eye and he grunts and flops back down on the ground.]

Okay Okay. Fine. It's a deal.
hauntedsavior: (all sense of past and future)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2022-03-28 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you're goddamn right it's a deal. I know you're all about nothing ever keeping you down, but this ain't something you can wait out on your own.

[she glowers down at him and tries not to think "serves you right" when the light catches him, then takes her leave to pour the beer down the sink and get him a glass of water and some pills. she comes back and leaves them on the table for him.]

You're right about not being a pussy, at least. I wouldn't eat you if you paid me.

[At least in that time he has managed to pull himself up to his feet. He's looking pretty rough but he's at least more cognizant than he was when she left. He takes the glass of water but not the pills and chugs it.

He looks her way and gives a shrug.]


Good, I'm not into butt stuff anyways.
hauntedsavior: (caught a glimpse of the ending)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2022-04-02 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[she stares at the pills and doesn't get why he'd refuse to take them, but, like. man. whatever. it's his funeral. and he just said something super fucked up anyway, so while she gets back to cleaning, she looks over to him with confusion.]

Did you just call eating pussy butt stuff? Dude. Where do you think the pussy is?
strikefirster: (before it's too late)

[personal profile] strikefirster 2022-04-02 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Anna isn't paid enough to deal with this.]

I know where a fucking pussy is. I'm not a wangless nerd who's never banged a chick.

I'm saying that since I'm not a pussy the only other thing you can eat out is my ass and I'm not into that shit.
hauntedsavior: (spare me your obsolete empathy)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2022-04-02 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[yeah, hard agree on that one.]

And I'm saying I'm a lesbian and I'm not gonna come anywhere near your bussy in the first place! [this is stupid. this is so incredibly stupid. she's kind of turning around on johnny, actually.]

Whatever, dude. If you're not gonna take those pills then don't come crying to me when you finally stand up and your head feels like it's gonna explode. And you damn well better keep your puke inside you.
