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!

Later in the night- with preemptive apologies for his behavior

[Katsuki originally had planned to dip out early, but considering well. The state of Midoriya, both prior to this party, his state currently and weighing those things to who he knows have also arrived in Trench around the same time that he did? He's decided to stay, despite absolutely hating the atmosphere and the reasons why. Socializing in general and admitting to himself that he gives a fuck about Izuku's well being on a deep enough level to babysit (just distantly keeping an eye on him is more the reality of it) his drunk ass are two things that definitely aggravate the fuck outta Katsuki... and thus, he is not in a good mood when he gets bumped into.]

Oi--!!

[Fucking grabbed. Held onto for a second. By, unbeknownst to the blond, the host of the party. All he can do is look affronted--in a supremely bitchy way, and think of this person as yet another drunk dumbass. If this were a year ago, Katsuki would've fucking creamed this asshole instantly for daring to touch him and hang out in his personal space at all. But he's learning to be better, so all that happens is a shake off and a step back.]

Hahh? [He goes from irritated surprise to a hard knit scowl real fast when the person actually speaks to him.] Worm? [Do the fucking worm????? Now it's disgust that takes over the blond's face, just briefly.

Like the embarrassing as HELL dance move?! No?? He follows the gaze to the worm wall, and then looks at the dude like he's maybe sprouted two more heads.]
I have no fuckin' clue what the hell that's even about, so fuck no! [He's just a guy, conned into coming by another stupid guy, who literally knows no one or anything except for the fact that Birthday Boy apparently died in a battle a while back.

Someone fucking kill him. Why did he agree to this, again????]

[Of course this fucker has to lean in even closer. It's got Katsuki leaning away, his expression of disdain only tightening into an even worse scowl.]

I ain't fucking anxious! [Not true, but he just feels mad about it as a whole and therefore doesn't acknowledge that this shrimp is probably right. He doesn't do well in crowds, and especially not party crowds, apparently. Not knowing anyone definitely doesn't help, so yeah... he nailed it right on the head, even if Katsuki is going to deny it until he is blue in the face. His fingers twitch at his side with the desire to either shove dude away, or blast him right into hell. Something he doesn't act on, thankfully.

No, he just sneers down his nose at the suggestion of using shots to loosen up.]


I'm not an idiot, unlike the rest of you. Seems like a really bad move to get drunk in a place like Trench. What're you all gonna do when something batshit goes down, hah??
