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.

staffcocked: (I've failed my country and people.)

[personal profile] staffcocked 2024-02-19 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm... I-It's not just about tails! It's about first impressions and looks!

[IT'S THE SAME THING, YEYASU.]

Babe hunts can get complex like a battle of shogi! If you wanna achieve victory, then you must think three steps ahead of your opponent!

Yeah?

[If the guy says he's good, then he's good— Kanji knows how he feels when people start needling him with questions, and he gives a shrug. Hey, buddy, if you say so.]

I can definitely get feelin' confused. I'm pretty new here. You just wanderin' in?

[He'd probably have to, to look that rough. Nothing here would have made him look like that, right?]
netherese: (140)

1, it's real wizard dog hours

[That 'someone nearby' happens to also be sporting a pair of canine ears— a touch more alert than Charlies— and a curled tail to match, both of which perk up noticeably upon being addressed.]

Well— I suppose 'normal' is rather relative, isn't it?

[Gale offers him a wry smile.]

This is the first time any of us have found ourselves sporting animal ears, but unusual happenings? Those are quite common around here, I'm afraid. Largely harmless, of course!

[ He appreciates not being poked and pushed, since he felt kind of awkward about it before. It's easier just to try and shrug some of his emotions away and worry about them later, when he's alone. ]

Yeah, I've been here a few hours?

[ So it's still kind of strange and new to him? ]

How new is 'new' for you?

[ Yuji nods his head, as if this is the most serious thing in the world. ]

Yeah, that's right! She was helping me look for you, before. I don't think I know Akechi-kun, though, but I'll make sure to pay attention to new people just in case!

[ If Gojo-sensei knows them... Well, he's not sure if he could say they'd be 'good' to know, but at least it would be interesting? Though, Gojo had introduced him to Nanami, who he adores more than a lot of people he's met over the last few months.

The idea of 'no curses' and 'relaxing' obviously doesn't sit well with Yuji, who just... Nods. ]


He did. If that wasn't true, then things would be different.

[ Nanami would be... He's not sure. He'd go home right now. ]
tailcare: (012)

[personal profile] tailcare 2024-02-19 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ tingyun nods. ]

Yeah, all these markings.. and more tails?

[ the tails are.. weird, but it's the marks she's more upset about. stripes all over her skin is not her style. she'll get over it in time, but the initial shock was quite jarring. she doesn't have enough makeup for this!! ]

And more power? I don't know what I'd use that for, really, I'm not much of a fighter. So you really weren't.. shocked when you woke up like this?
hathasacat: (When I'm sinking alone.)

[personal profile] hathasacat 2024-02-19 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
What if it's not flattery and just my sincere compliments?

[ Aether has no idea how sincere those words really are, especially with the way Lyney tries to keep it hidden. ]
staffcocked: (CRITICAL HIT?!)

[personal profile] staffcocked 2024-02-19 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[He was going pat himself on the back for doing such a cool catch! But the weight of Sumina's large body collides into the table and Yeyasu makes a rather monkey-like--]

OOOK-EEEEEEEK!!?

[As him and the table along with the vase go falling over and just as he hits the floor... The innocent little vase shatters into pieces. Looking over to the broken vase, Yeyasu couldn't help and turn a shade of blue. He's approaching this with the same attitude as a kid who broke something important while his parents were away!]

--Oh crap! Ohhhh crap! W-What are we gonna do!? We just murdered some innocent hotel property...!
startraveler: (wistful)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-19 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[For a moment he looks at Lyney as if trying to guess the other's thoughts. The rose in his hands is very real and again, he always got the impression that Lyney means well, even if he did hide things from him initially.

Aether twirls the flower in his fingers.]


If those words are true... then it would make me very happy.

[He knows how loyal Lyney is and he sincerely hopes there will never be a day when he'll have to choose which side to stay loyal to and which one to betray.

...Not like either of them have to worry about it here.]
unliminal: (367)

[personal profile] unliminal 2024-02-20 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Things would be different, even though Gojo can't say for certain whether he would be here still or not. For all he knows, even if time were passing, he could still be in the Prison Realm for another millennia. God, he hopes not...and again, he itches to ask, when Yuji could tell him if they've made any progress on that front.

But the last thing he wants to do is pry any further, or pull the unstable footing that Yuji has found out from under him. Besides, Yuji said he missed him, right? So...probably still sealed. Sheesh...what a pain. Patience has never been his virtue, and finding himself in there completely powerless had been driving him stir crazy. ]


Yeah, I bet a lot fewer people would take extended stays here...but that means you don't have to feel bad for staying, okay? We can even work on some training — but not too much that you forget this is meant to be a break.

[ It'd be good for him, too, though. Even though he trains with some others here, it's different when it's a sorcerer, someone who lives and breathes the same kind of power he knows best. ]

I find something of interest to eat.

[Or loses himself in magic, or sword practice, but. Food is good, too, and probably more of a pick-me-up for this downtrodden young man right now.]

What say you? My stomach's complaining and we've a whole new building to explore to find us lunch.

Good to know, on both points. I wasn’t sure if this was the usual dress-code or what, but you make it sound like a fairly recent development.

[ Which does give him some measure of hope that it won’t be permanent. ]

[personal profile] animated 2024-02-20 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you both, even with all the trouble. I’m not used to being a bird or anything, but I am used to a pretty high degree of weird things so.

[ He shrugs, though he seems to be in good spirits over the whole ordeal. ]

Do you need to go back for your staff?

[personal profile] animated 2024-02-20 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ If Charlie had eyebrows, they’d be raised right now. In just this short jaunt, he’s learning an awful lot about Henry as a person – namely that he’s the type to brute force first, ask questions later. ]

I guess we will. Hold on.

[ He gives a little hopping-running start, then flaps his way airborne, bearing himself and Henry to the first room. Thankfully, no windows or doors swing open to block their way. ]

[personal profile] animated 2024-02-20 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Charlie wasn’t sure what to expect from the staff, but it’s quite clear that they’re used to shenanigans of this sort. That’s good to know. It makes him feel a bit better about slinging his magic around – you know, when he has hands to do the casting with. ]

Oh, you know. Dashing. Handsome. [ A beat. ] Blonde.

[He is glad to see he's not offended him. Rowan huffs a laugh.]

That must be the case, for taking all this in stride.

[He shrugs, too, though.]

Might as well go fetch it before someone else picks it up. I've not another with me...

[Sometimes violence is the answer.

He holds on tight until they reach his room, and as soon as Charlie lands, Henry hops off. He skitters towards the door, and the crack beneath seems big enough for him to go through if he really squeezed.]


Could be doable.

If I get stuck, push me.
animated: (📖 023)

[personal profile] animated 2024-02-20 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, sure. But try not to need it.

[ He's not sure he trusts this beak to do much more than hurt. ]
animated: (📖 001)

[personal profile] animated 2024-02-20 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
It seems like a bad idea to just leave a magical item lying around for anyone to find. Is Torrent gonna be okay here if we step out?
eyescar: (Default)

[personal profile] eyescar 2024-02-20 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He says to the guy who has eaten fifteen fingers... Yuji sees the humour in it. ]

... Yeah. There's gotta be something nearby, right?
runir: (021)

[personal profile] runir 2024-02-20 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm? Oh, yes.

[He gestures with a hand, and Torrent--over there in the corner--simply disappears in a whorl of magic, as though swept away by the wind.]

He's easy enough to dismiss. I'll call him once more when I have need of him.
vecna: (pic#16608160)

[personal profile] vecna 2024-02-20 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Henry doesn't reply just yet. He skitters forward and lowers himself under the door...

And though he mostly fits, even his tiny, round abdomen is just slightly too big to go through. He bonks it against the door, wiggles to squeeze under, but can't quite pull himself forward.

Wonderful.]


...

...I'm stuck, push me.

[ for a moment all akechi can think is.

dog. dog?? dog!!

GET AWAY—

but then he realizes that’s stupid and continues looking through the trash. ]


It’s surprising how much food people waste in this place. [ is what he’ll comment JUDGMENTALLY. ]

I suppose if you don’t have to worry about where it’s coming from…

[ a dramatic, superior sigh!!

(even as he eyes the ball with some trepidation.) ]
laevateinns: (pic#16387478)

[personal profile] laevateinns 2024-02-20 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ oh NOOO, the pathetically cawing crow hates this, actually.

he’s filled with a stress response that is not entirely his own at the dog barreling towards him, jumping up into the air with an undignified squawk that sounds a lot like— ]


What the fuck!

[ he is clearly trying to fly to land somewhere safe— but is just as clearly failing at doing it with much success.

so much for being a normal crow. ]
laevateinns: (》16)

[personal profile] laevateinns 2024-02-20 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ at first akechi simply hums in greeting at juni, too busy digging through the trash to really register—

but then she says that and he suddenly blinks as if waking up, jerking his head over to her as he drops the garbage in his hand. ]


Right. I knew that.

[ a pause. ]

…It’s really in treasure chests for you too, huh? [ some things must be constant… ]
