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!

I mean, I guess I get it. Asimov and Dick and everyone talking about the horrors of artificial intelligence or whatever. [she has not read much of either.] The whole... not wanting to play god thing. But you know what I think's interesting? [she leans in a little like she's about to make a point that's not quite as big as how it feels in her head.] Nobody ever thinks to ask the AIs about it. No one ever asks us [which she says like she is one] about how it feels to get born and then immediately thrown right into the middle of a debate about whether we should even exist. You know?
[she tilts her drink towards him.] Imagine if people did that to you. Would fuck you up pretty fast.

The look on his face must be something to see, a slip of control over a bloom of empathy that he should stop short, only does a little too late.]
I've never thought about it that way.
[He says, quietly, his gaze flickering back to her and then away in uncustomary skittishness. The back of his neck feels tight and uncomfortable.
He's never thought about it that was because there is no debate, where he comes from. The question of whether or not AI should exist has been settled, and the answer is 'no'. But that's exactly the kind of debate Anna is telling him she wants no part of being in, and this time, sensitivity beats out orthodoxy.]
I suppose that's the human way, isn't it? Being afraid of anything that's greater than ourselves. We want to control it, shape it, and if we can't...
[A slight, lopsided shrug, paired with a joyless quirk on one side of his mouth. She knows what follows that ellipses.]
This isn't good conversation. I apologize. I may have had one too many of - a few things, now that I think about it.
no subject
Don't worry about it. I'm the one who brought it up. Could talk about something a little lower impact, like makeouts again. I'm definitely planning on being gross in public a little later tonight. [no shame in admitting that, huh, anna? there's the urge to look behind her to see where kainé ended up, but paul's just got too much of her attention right now.] Sorry, can't hold back once my girlfriend gets involved.
no subject
But for now, he pulls a face at grossness, with a distinctly teenaged suggestion of an eye roll even as his smile returns to its former brightness.]
I should let you get to all of that [he says, in blissful ignorance of his near future] after all, who am I to stand in the way of romance?
