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!

no subject
The second best thing, he decides, is an open mind about it.]
Why did you put the cheese in a blender? I didn't ask him about your logic.
no subject
[She gives a huff, she loves Oscar but she really deserves a bit of a credit here.]
Well he told me the cheese needed to be blended. It's a blender-
That seems like a no brainer there right, what else was I supposed to do?
no subject
[Paul isn't really unhappy about that, but it's entertaining to pretend he is. He rolls his eyes and then continues to regard Ruby with growing true sympathy for her plight.]
That does seem like a mistake anyone could make. Cooking instructions are so ambiguous for something that should be readily procedural, don't you think?
no subject
...Except we never heard from Doctor Shuu after me and Ange made him that cake.
But I'm pretty sure that was unrelated.
[Ruby wasn't actually too bothered by it but she would try and stand up for the slander against her cooking. While digging herself a completely separate hole at the same time.]
At least don't use the same word to describe two completely different things! That's just confusing.
no subject
[That is one of those opinions Paul had learned to keep to himself, usually, but he breezes by it now as if that's a very normal thing to have said.]
It is confusing - like straining, in the first place. Why don't any of your languages have usage-modifiers for dry and wet?
no subject
But I'm sure stranger things have happened.
[Ruby was pretty happy to take it in stride. Look she was from a world where just having negative emotions could get you mauled out in the wild. She could take some off colour humor.]
I wish I had an answer for you there. Maybe we should bust into the library and demand they make new words for us.
no subject
[As exciting as library extortion sounds (and as much as Paul would usually say something boring and pedantic about how libraries work), Paul seems a little hung up on the image he's conjured for himself of what 'eye to brain surgery' under those conditions might look like.]
Did you feed a cake to a doctor who was a bird?
[Somewhere, a Disciple who is a bird must have burning ears, and this time, not from the flames of war.]
no subject
[Ruby confirms that before she kind of pauses on the next question. She's not sure exactly how to answer that. Was it a good or a bad choice?
Ange seemed to think it was fine when they did it.
Everyone likes cake, right?]
I mean- Yeah. Of course I did. Everyone else who helped got cake.
I didn't want him to feel left out.
no subject
[Paul realizes that he might be about to say something less than polite, now that it's too late to smooth it over. For all he knows, birds as doctors are typical in her society, and he's about to collectively insult the entire medical profession.]
All the doctors where I come from are human. I admit, it's difficult for me to picture a bird successfully performing any kind of surgery.
I suppose he deserved cake, after that.
no subject
Oh- Right- Yeah. No don't worry about that. It was weird for me too when I first heard about him.
All the doctors where I'm from were either human or Faunus too.
He was apparently really good at it where he came from. Human's weren't the dominate species there but they did have them.
Honestly if it had been anywhere but here I wouldn't have believed it.
no subject
He must have been very good. I apologize if I seemed like I was doubting you.
[To his horror, he realizes that he's rubbing the back of his neck, and drops his hand immediately back to his side with a sheepish look.]
I keep thinking I'm used to the - differences - here by now. Apparently not.
no subject
He was- But I don't think you were. If you had of told me before I got here that a real bird would be poking around my brain- I wouldn't have believed it either.
[She returns that sheepish smile with one of her own.]
If it makes you feel any better I've been here for basically three years now and I still get blown away by the things that show up here. You aren't the only one, so don't feel bad about that.
We're all learning every day.
no subject
That's right. 'Pity the man who knows everything, for he has nothing left to learn', or so it goes.
[He's usually the first to tell people ignorance isn't a shortcoming, so long as you seek to correct it. It's a principle that applies to the matter of birds as surgeons and the straining of rice in equal measure.]
It does make me feel better. You're a gracious guest, my lady Ruby. [He's going to bow again. He's like that.] And I'm a monopolizing host. I should let you get back to the rest of the mingling, while I pretend I'm not looking up 'bird doctor' on my Omni.
