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!

Never have I ever driven a car?

[ He looks at the multiverse and the multiverse stares back. ]

...or any other kind of vehicle.
necrosaint: (022)

[personal profile] necrosaint 2022-03-28 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Harrow legitimately does not know the answer to this one— ]

Define 'vehicle.'
wannasmash: "We got this." (worried together)

[personal profile] wannasmash 2022-03-29 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Let him just... Omni that... ]

'A conveyance; a device for carrying or transporting substances, objects or individuals.' So, like... a machine? that moves stuff around?
necrosaint: (019)

[personal profile] necrosaint 2022-03-29 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Damn.

I suppose, then, that a giant skeleton carrying me in its hand counts as a vehicle.

[ If they agree on that, then Harrow actually has to drink a single sip of alcohol, and that will just ruin her night for approximately thirty seconds. ]
wannasmash: "Gotta invent a new move..." (frown hmm thumb)

[personal profile] wannasmash 2022-03-29 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Impressive. ]

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Has someone constructed your skeleton, like a machine, or was it just found like that?

wannasmash: Turn around, bright eyes (huh thanks)

[personal profile] wannasmash 2022-03-29 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, definitely.

[ He's so sorry, Kaworu. ]
wannasmash: "My personal life is FUBAR." (worried tired explain)

A tank kills people, but it's still a vehicle because it moves them too.

necrolord: /=- (like cymbals crashing)

[personal profile] necrolord 2022-03-29 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ To this, God sighs and rubs at the crease between his eyes. ]

You should have seen the shuttles in the early days... An absolute nightmare. Cobbled together from scrap and living bone. Like something out of The Martian, but about fifty percent more skeleton.

[ This pronouncement made, he finishes his wine. ]
wannasmash: Turn around, bright eyes (huh thanks)

[personal profile] wannasmash 2022-03-29 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Where I come from, we would have been exploring space if not for the advent of Quirks--superpowers. Things got a little chaotic.

[ Having had firsthand experience aboard The Lonely Island, Midoriya asks in sympathy, ]

So... I guess a sailing ship is a step down?
necrolord: <user name="thebutt"> (drawing lines in the sand)

[personal profile] necrolord 2022-03-29 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ At a little chaotic, he cracks a smile. ]

The longer I'm here, the more glad I become that we only have necromancy.

It's a step down in speed and maneuverability, maybe. Definite step down in ability to keep out hard vacuum. Step up in style, if you ask me.
wannasmash: "Thanks, but sleep is for the weak." (smile tired relief thanks)

[personal profile] wannasmash 2022-03-30 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ Very chaotic. He's glad God understands what Midoriya means--what he learned in his history books and at his mother's knee. He doesn't smile about the collapse of society, but he does exhale and slowly blink his eyes in assent.

He does, however, smirk when he says, ]

Captain Anna would think so too. She wore a hat, even did an accent.

Does a bicycle count?

I tried to get my drivers licsense but they said I was too old.
wannasmash: "My personal life is FUBAR." (worried tired explain)

[personal profile] wannasmash 2022-03-29 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ He looks at them for a long time. Finally he says thoughtfully, ]

I guess by that definition, yes. However, many laws don't classify them as vehicles for practicality, since they're so different from cars. So I guess it's like knowing a tomato is a fruit, but not putting it in a fruit salad. Your choice.
the_obedient_servant: (* To be redeemed)

[personal profile] the_obedient_servant 2022-03-29 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
I choose no. I came to this game to win, not to lose on a technicality.

[anna shakes her head and takes a drink.]

Shitty little thing. Expired tags, expired license. Drove it up to the mountains to find a magic flower with my ex. But we had the best time up there.
wannasmash: "Thanks for everything." (smile scuffed)

[personal profile] wannasmash 2022-03-29 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ He smiles warmly. Midoriya has no such stories. He thinks instead of Karkat stuck on the meteor with his boyfriend, having a good time watching movies. ]

What were they like? Everything--the mountains, the flowers, your ex?
hauntedsavior: (shores of tranquility)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2022-03-30 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, man. I mean, it was a really nice drive. Good music, good company. I still remember Rose asking if I was enough of a robot to power her electric kettle. [she takes another sip, idly, forgetting the rules of the game, then raps her knuckles on her chest over her t-shirt.] This hadn't come in yet. It was just from the waist down then. We found it and we brought it back to town so we could work on turning people back from the monsters they were transforming into.

Honestly, it wasn't too far off from what it's like here. Right down to the sick tunes and hot girlfriend.

[personal profile] foulhussy 2022-04-01 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Nah. Just a big fucking boar. Somebody I knew found a magic horn that summoned one.

Helicopter.
