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!

Cakes can't have ghosts because ghosts don't eat anything. [ obviously. ] I think.
[ but this is serious business! it seems like Paul is asking Gideon to rate his fit, which she surveys with what she thinks is a very serious expression but is actually an extremely dopey one. ]
Honestly, yeah. You clean up good. The eyeliner's messy enough to be Nine Houses, but not enough to be, like, stupid.
[ that's a fine line! ]
You look like you could be my tiny younger brother.
[ This is something that Gideon would only say after achieving a state of maximum blissed-outness, which, for better or for worse, she has achieved. It doesn't even strike her as a weird thing to say -- she's just calling it like she sees it, after all. ]
no subject
The first compliment makes him grin with the smug glee of someone being indulged; the second connects between his eyes like a good, stiff knuckle blow, but without any of the pain. It just stuns him, leaves him spinning and off-balance, falling into a soft, engulfing warmth like a freshly turned down bed.]
Yeah?
[What's meant to be casual turns into a half-split upward flick of inflection, his voice cracking like it hasn't in months. He swallows hard with flushing cheeks, but he's not truly embarrassed.]
Thanks. [He's markedly informal, slipping into a tonal register and grammatical structure that's reserved for - well.] That's high praise coming from the coolest looking person in the house.
[He can't help himself. He slides closer and loops an arm over her shoulder, squeezing her in a half-hug.]
no subject
[ Gideon agrees, because she is the coolest-looking person in the house, thank you very much!
The grammar might not translate exactly to Gideon's language, but the sentiment does, and the hug doesn't need any translation to begin with. Gideon's chest feels warm in a way that has nothing to do with the spice or tequila, a warmth that will last well into her first-ever hangover. Gideon squeezes back, sliding her arm under Paul's and across his back. ]
We're like... in the comics. When people match. [ Gideon snaps her fingers, as if this will help her remember. ] A squad.
/wrap for the bone squad?
He lets his eyes fall closed. Lets her tell him to be proud of himself, even in something as inconsequential as this, and takes a deep, slow breath like the spring winds, rustling all the new-growing things.]
Yes. [He settles into her side, pleasantly drifting.] You'll have to teach me more bone jokes, though. I can't let down the squad.
/wrap!
[ And there's another bone joke for you, Paul. It's horrible.
Throughout the night, Gideon will tell Paul several bone-related jokes of a similar caliber, and she'll even add a challenge: if he can make Harrow laugh with one of them, she'll give him twenty "Trenchbucks." Good thing this is very hard to do, because Gideon still needs to figure out what counts as a Trenchbuck.
She doesn't really think about anything deeper, because she doesn't have to. Gideon simply relishes in the comfort of this night, this home, this squad, and that's more than enough for her. ]
