EVENT LOG
number 005




Happy February, folks! The hotel is chugging along as it always does and nothing really seems that out of the ordinary, actually. Mr Bennet is at the front desk as per usual, greeting new guests, checking out old ones, generally being mediocre at his job but there's something a little... off about him this morning. A little more Springtime focused. Is it the suit? No, no, that's the same as it always is. Is it the face? No, Mr Bennet's face is unable to be perceived by eyes as per usual. No, it's the —

The bunny ears?

HOP TO IT

It seems Mr Bennet has developed a pair of bunny ears and a tail overnight, but he's not the only one. Every staff member and guest of the hotel will find that they have grown a pair of animal ears and a matching tail when they wake up that morning. It's nekomimi time, y'all! But not just neko, characters will find themselves with all categories of ears and tails. Cats, dogs, rabbit, deer, fish. Whatever animal best suits the characters are what they'll find themselves sporting.

For all intents and purposes, these will be part of your characters bodies and real additional limbs. It will hurt if someone hurts them and they will bleed if someone cuts them. There will be some added bonuses as well as characters will also take on the traits of the animals they become. However players want to interpret this is up to them — it can be light like a cat person just being more aloof or heavy like a spider person having multiple eyes and limbs. Whatever is most fun for the player and most hectic for the character, of course.

This effect will last till the end of the month.

Of course, an additional note: For characters who already have animal ears and/or tails — they will either keep those ears and tails and develop more traits of that animal. Or they can become something entirely different for the month. Player preference!

ANIMAL CRACKERS

Mr Bennet has found this to be hysterical though so he has set up a stall in the main lounge that's advertising animal crackers. They're a little less cracker and more cookie though, and larger than the traditional animal cracker. They also come in all shapes and sizes. If you can think of the animal, you can have an animal cracker with it. There is a dog cracker. There is a whale cracker. There is a spider cracker. All kinds of things. Even fictional animals, like gryphons and dragons!

The only catch is — once your character eats the cracker they will become that animal entirely. This is probably tipped off by the bunny rabbit hopping around the lounge in a little hotel jacket, huh. Thanks Mr Bennet. The effect of these crackers will last as long as the player prefers and characters are free to eat another cracker and become another animal afterwards.

One thing though, as the animal, characters will still be able to speak in animal form. So there's that!

The animal crackers will also be available till the end of the month.

[ Sorry, she can't help but laugh... ]

How funny. How do they keep managing to do that? It must be the work of magic. It certainly is not borne of science...

[ Her gaze slides silently over to those three tails swaying back and forth as she comes to a seated position, her snake half coiling around itself and providing a sort of seat. ]

Better to stay away from dessert from now on, perhaps. Or maybe wait until someone else has tried it, like a poison tester.

[ She does not linger there, indeed, even though Clara is curious to see if the woman will slip into the water and swim off. When she doesn't, she leans back and settles into her current sitting position more fully, using her arms to support herself. ]

I am told I am sometimes unsettlingly calm. The circus outside is delightful to watch, but even I need a moment of reprieve from it.

[ Another beat. ]

Are you not going to swim?

[personal profile] shardshot 2024-02-09 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Just know that if you see a stand by Mr. Bennet, it's best to avoid it.

[ Which should be common sense by now, but where's the fun in that! ]

Anyway... I have a request, Lynette. I may need some help returning to my room. I can't quite, er...reach the elevator keys.
shardshot: (2023-08-25-238)

[personal profile] shardshot 2024-02-09 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Certainly! Why don't we grab something to eat?

[ The urge to pat his head grows....... ]

We've got a bit of a walk until we hit either the kitchen or the restaurant, so what do you say?
shardshot: (2023-08-25-546)

[personal profile] shardshot 2024-02-09 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ I stan Kokomi. ]

Isn't it just? And this hotel has done some pretty strange things in the time I've been here.

[ Chewing on her veggie again, then – ]

I keep having this urge to gnaw on things...which I can only assume is normal behavior for my assigned animal. You seem to be in quite the predicament yourself, however...?
airdnd: (178)

[personal profile] airdnd 2024-02-09 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
At least... Ah, I would stay away from any cookies that Mr Bennet offers you, miss. That's how I ended up like this.
airdnd: (174)

[personal profile] airdnd 2024-02-09 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ]

Ah... Thank you.

[ Though as she watches him, with his sauce-covered snoot and all nudging a meatball her way, she really has to existentially think for a moment about the fact that she's about to eat pasgetti off of the floor as a dog with her situationship. What even is happening. ]

I can't believe we ruined someone's date just to eat pasta off the floor...

[ But she's gonna do it anyway, lowering her head to tentatively to sniff at the meatball for just a brief moment before annihilating it. ]

[ She gives a little nod of her head, taking care not to accidentally bonk bunny Aether on the head with her strange unicorn horn! ]

Yeah, it gets really confusing! And I'm usually the one keeping enemies off of my friends' backs, so it's really annoying if I suddenly turn into something that isn't scary at all.

[ Anyway... ]

What's your name? I'm Juniper!
staffcocked: (I'm the sheriff around these parts.)

[personal profile] staffcocked 2024-02-09 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Don't mind him as he pulls out a fan from his pocket and lightly taps Aether on the forehead.]

Orrrr you could always embrace your new style for a little bit! You make for a cute Nekomata! ♥

[Hmmm... Yeyasu gives him a once over as if he's sizing him up.]

Have you ever considered making yourself an account and doing some cosplay? I'm sure you'd be crazy popular.
staffcocked: (A ladies' man with a nice smile.)

[personal profile] staffcocked 2024-02-09 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I-I see! [A beat as he grins a bit. That was more reassuring!] Well, since we're in the same boat... I'd be happy to assist you!

[His tail wags rather eagerly as he's always happy to help someone! Bonus points if he gets some praise out of it... He was planning on retreating to his room, but the people always came first! Even if this wasn't his Netherworld, Yeyasu couldn't ignore someone in trouble.

He'll approach the elevator buttons as he hops on one leg while using his other foot to start scratching at his head. When did he become this flexible? It kinda felt nice...]


Honestly, I'm not familiar with all the floors here. But guess we can find out... Fifth floor, right?
startraveler: (why am I even with you)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-09 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[The tap on the forehead catches him off guard and Aether rubs the spot for a moment, eyes big as he stares at the other. His cheeks slowly start to heat up as well, even though he attempts to make the most deadpan look possible.]

What?

[That's really the only initial reaction he can have to this.]

Account? Cosplay? What do you even mean by that?

[Flashbacks to the time shrine maidens wanted to dress him up to take photos of him in order to advertise the Grand Narukami Shrine.]
startraveler: (smile)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-09 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
It must be tough... Is there any way for you to gain control of your magic?

[Maybe it's something he can help with!]

And I'm Aether. It's good to meet you. [A pause.] From what you're saying, it sounds like you're some sort of adventurer?
staffcocked: (Your shogun has returned!)

[personal profile] staffcocked 2024-02-09 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's not even wearing his sandals right now! Oddly enough, he was finding it quite freeing to walk bare footed. Good thing that this floor in particular wasn't covered in spikes or anything hazardous.

Once she pulls him back up, Yeyasu's monkey tail wags rather eagerly!]


Oh yeah! There's a giant sardine that floats around in my universe and it contains a Netherworld! We call it "Sardemon World"! A perfect place for catching all kinds of fish for market.

[And he was happy that it was in a better state compared to whenever the Shogunate was still corrupt.]

[personal profile] airdnd 2024-02-09 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It all happens so fast; she falls, but in just the blink of an eye, Satoru is suddenly on top of her, pinning her to the sofa with her wrists firmly grasped in his hands. She cannot even spare a thought for what else is going on between that and the fact that his face is so, so very close to hers now, too.

Swallowing thickly with her heart beating thunderously in her chest, she turns her head so that they aren't face to face... ]


T-This is...

[ So... ]

Fine. You'll be my only Valentine...

[ That's all that this is about, right? ]
warmaid: kokofish (146)

[personal profile] warmaid 2024-02-10 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
That's the issue, yes. I'm more or less trapped here unless someone is willing to push the tub around or carry me in a smaller vessel.

[She's such a cute fish, but man this is inconvenient.]
warmaid: kokofish (146)

[personal profile] warmaid 2024-02-10 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
I have. Outside of a marine environment, I've been rendered rather helpless.

[WITH ENEMIES ON ALL SIDES, apparently. Why is everyone a cat all of a sudden???]
warmaid: kokofish (146)

[personal profile] warmaid 2024-02-10 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[At least this time it's a cat person and not a cat-cat that's watching her. Her top general is a dog, so this is much more familiar and much less nerve wracking. Although the way Lynette looks at her is concerning...]

No. I'm usually a person, but I had one of the animal crackers. Apparently, they turn you into an animal.

[She got very unlucky :( ]
warmaid: kokofish (146)

[personal profile] warmaid 2024-02-10 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Yeah, she doesn't trust you one bit with a response like that.]

On second thought, perhaps I ought to wait out the animal cracker effects right here.

Do you have any idea how long they last?
warmaid: (050)

[personal profile] warmaid 2024-02-10 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[He reminds her so much of Gorou right now, wagging tail and all. The only difference is how openly he expresses his joy. The general does his best to hide it, although Kokomi can see right through his rather poor attempts at stoicism.]

To be honest, I had expected them to carry me to one of the beach floors and leave me to my own devices there. That they went above and beyond to provide a means for me to move myself is quite appreciated.

The animal you turned into is much more convenient, I would say.
cathasahat: (Chamomile tea can help with sleep)

[personal profile] cathasahat 2024-02-10 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Lynette would never mess with the tea or food she makes, that's blasphemy!! ]

We can celebrate your arrival--though we'll have to wait until you're back to your usual self, unless you want it to be a party with only vegetables.
cathasahat: (Turmeric tea can help arthritis pain)

[personal profile] cathasahat 2024-02-10 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ She's mostly focused now that Kokomi is talking, though her ears are still perked up a little more than usual. ]

I see. Is it luck that you were already in a body of water, or did someone put you here and then leave you unsupervised?
cathasahat: (Da Yu Lin is grown at high elevation)

[personal profile] cathasahat 2024-02-10 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'll have to make a note of that. It seems unfair to put tricks in the food, though.

Also of course--did you want to head back now?
unliminal: (232)

[personal profile] unliminal 2024-02-10 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Can't you?

[ Well. Maybe she can't believe she's doing the latter, but it shouldn't be all that surprising that Satoru would perpetrate the former. Being a dog has only really made him willing to eat off the floor.

Anyway, this pasgetti is pretty delicious! There's a slice of garlic bread nearby too, and he gobbles that up as well. ]


Ehh...it was going south already anyway. If anything, we did them a favor!
tailcare: (004)

[personal profile] tailcare 2024-02-10 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
It might be freaky, but right now I'm more interested in being able to, you know, open doors for myself..

[ she can't apply her makeup or cute clothes in this state!! ugh!!! at his price, however, she hmphs. ]

All right, I can appreciate a businessman, but I don't exactly have much to offer right now.
unliminal: (406)

[personal profile] unliminal 2024-02-10 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's only once she turns her flushed face away from him and relents that Satoru seems to gain some clarity of mind, even if he is soon overtaken by a different sort of yearning. Something in the way she exposes her throat to him like that stokes a fire that he didn't expect, and while this may be part of his inherited prey drive...that's certainly not all there is to it. ]

...You mean it?

[ He mutters, but there's not much intent behind the words. His attention is elsewhere now, in the sweep of her neck, the curve of her murine ears, the scent of her hair and skin so close to him. Should he...kiss her right now? Kinda seems a little...

Yet he's dipping down all the same, nuzzling into the corner of her jaw, inhaling the scent of her skin, and purring yet again. ]


You don't really have to...

[ Of course, murmuring where he is now, his lips brush her throat with every word. ]
