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.

[ Wah, cute puppy... She's not sure if he's excited or nervous or maybe a little bit of both, but she's sure some snacks will help. ]

Uhhh... For a little bit! I don't really know him well, but he's fun! And really strong! Are you strong, too, Yuyu? You must be, if you're friends!

[ Ah. Sumina is quick to wave her hand dismissively and shake her head. ]

Only if you wanted to. There's nothing wrong with traveling light, after all.

[ As for him casually saying he can just jump down from several stories above... Well. She'd be more surprised, if her usual guests at home weren't prone to such feats. And also if she hadn't been subjected to Satoru Gojo's antics for the last few months. She's under the impression that all jujutsu sorcerers are just Like That, though admittedly, she hasn't talked to Nanami much about his abilities.

But with that, she turns on her heel, gesturing gently for him to walk with her. ]


Let's take the stairs, then. But yes, the elevators do malfunction from time to time, at times putting you at a different floor than the one you'd chosen, or not moving entirely... I would ask you to be careful, but I suppose that's the way of your jujutsu sorcerers, isn't it?

...That's right. You.

[He lowers his staff, though, having no other intent than to catch this young man's attention with it. Rowan withdraws it with a twirl, hitching it to his back again.]

I hear this place is meant to act as... a "vacation." Away from aught that ails us. Is that not right?

Hey! Whoooa-!

[ And there goes Charlie, tumbling head over tailfeathers, to get launched into one of the upper tiers of the of the fountain, landing with a small splash. ]

[personal profile] animated 2024-02-14 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't have to maintain concentration to keep something moving, for instance. Depending on the spell, it can sort of act like an autopilot.

[ Yeah, this is great and all, but down the hall, someone is definitely swinging open the door to a shop or something, and it's right in their path. ]

[personal profile] animated 2024-02-14 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
That's because I didn't mention it. I'm Charlie. It's nice to meet you, Sumina.

[ His tail wags all the more when he says it, so it clearly must be true! ]

If you don't mind, what do you look like normally?

[oops

Easier not to go flying when you're a big crocodile, and when Torrent comes to a complete stop, Rowan turns and practically flops off, landing on the ground and crawling up the side of the fountain.]


Are you all right?

[Oh gods he's drowned his new acquaintance.]

[personal profile] vecna 2024-02-14 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is very interesting, yes, and it's almost an annoyance that someone is daring to walk in front of them?

Henry uses his powers, of course, to slam that door shut. Maybe a little too hard. If the person trying to exit gets a faceful, well. They'll probably be fine.]


Watch out.

[ There's a bit of splanshing and flailing, so at least Charlie isn't dead. He pops out of the water a moment later, drenched but unharmed. ]

Well. That could have gone better.
animated: (📖 078)

[personal profile] animated 2024-02-14 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Charlie lets out a startled peep, swinging wide away from the door, though no nearly fast enough. Henry saves them both from crashing by slamming the door back in the person's face. ]

Sorry!!

[ As he zips by. At least the elevator is in sight at the end of the hall. ]

Man, being a bird isn't all it's cracked up to be. I'm honestly not sure how Shifters do it.

[personal profile] airdnd 2024-02-14 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! I don't mind. I'm, ah... [ She looks up at him, tilting her little head. ] About the same height as you, I think. With peach-colored hair and slightly pointed ears.
runir: (005)

[personal profile] runir 2024-02-14 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh good, he's not dead. He huffs at that remark, though as a crocodile it sounds like a long hiss.

Torrent shakes his head and trots over to the other side of the courtyard, done with this nonsense.]


You didn't die. That counts as a victory of some kind. [right]
vecna: (pic#15832379)

[personal profile] vecna 2024-02-14 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[He turns his little head to watch that sorry soul get knocked down by the door, a thrum of amusement running through their mental connection. Henry is clearly not sorry. That was hilarious, okay.

But then he readjusts to look forward; the elevator's coming up!]


You just need practice.

Is a "Shifter" someone who changes into animals all the time?


[are druids real too]

[He doesn't care that he's scared off the other guests, and he floats her all the way until she's just a feet or two away from him, tilting his head.]

And eating freely, just like before.

[Except he feels less of an offense at that now; less of the drive to rid the hotel of rodents scurrying back and forth and stealing food where they can.

...Eventually, he lowers her to the ground.]


This is ridiculous. I don't know what came over me.
startraveler: (smile smile)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-14 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[He can't hide his amusement by that reaction.]

How lucky, because there are two of my friends here who happen to be from different nations of Teyvat. I'm sure you'd get along with them.

[That last part is said more seriously, with a small smile proving that his words are genuine.]
startraveler: (happy)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-14 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right. The Adventurers' Guild can be found in every nation in Teyvat. People always need help, so it's good to have a place where they can put up their requests.
startraveler: (you sure you don't need help?)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-14 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. I... I really appreciate that.

[Being a Fatuus has no meaning in this place, so maybe it's natural for Aether to trust the twins some more. Neither Lyney nor Lynette ever caused him any harm anyway.

The bunny closes his eyes, relaxing in Lynette's grasp.]
startraveler: (you have my thanks)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-14 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods, maintaining the distance.]

It's... kind of troublesome, isn't it?

[He lets a small sigh, but tries to smile anyway. This isn't something they can change, so there's no need to eel down about it.]

I arrived not too long ago, so all of this is new to me.
startraveler: (sunshine)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-14 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Something like that. I've been travelling for as long as I can remember.

[He doesn't have a "home" either, but there are places he likes to be and maybe placed he'd like to call his home eventually. One day.

He notices that glimmer of respect and grins the moment Yeyasu talks about games, proud of his skills.]


I've never tried that... but I would definitely want to give it a go someday. [He likes challenges!] Where I'm from, there's this game called Genius Invocation that is super popular. It's a trading card game based on a novel. [His expression brightens.] A lot of my friends play it, but one in particular is a huge fan.

[ Charlie hops onto the lip of the fountain, shaking out his feathers. ]

The bar is on the floor, in that case, but sure. I'll take it. You're not hurt, are you?
animated: (📖 170)

[personal profile] animated 2024-02-14 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Bro... mean. Charlie's not going to say anything about it, because at least it was fairly harmless, and he doesn't want to enact a frog and scorpion situation here, either. ]
Yup. Short for "Shapeshifter". There's all sorts of magical whosits and whatsits where I come from.
animated: (📖 145)

[personal profile] animated 2024-02-14 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Pointed ears? Like an elf?

[ PLEASE TELL HIM THERE ARE ELVES HERE. ]
runir: (025)

[personal profile] runir 2024-02-14 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now that it's clear Charlie isn't hurt, he's half-tempted to slip into the fountain... No, ignore that temptation.]

I'm fine. I've thick skin.

[Ha.......get it...]

How long do you suppose we're trapped as animals? I don't think I like being so squat and short.
vecna: (pic#15844751)

[personal profile] vecna 2024-02-14 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's fine!! Don't worry about it.]

In that case, you should be able to acclimate to this hotel in record time. If your world is so full of oddities.


[How's that elevator? Henry's going to press the call button with his mind, anyway, just in case.]
animated: (📖 046)

[personal profile] animated 2024-02-14 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He does get it, and it's gets a little chirping laugh out of him. ]

I was told it's random. We could be stuck for hours or minutes or who knows how long.

[ He gives another shake, feathers poofing out. ]

Guess I should probably get out of the fountain if that's the case.
