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 β€”

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 β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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.

[If a bird's facial expression can level an accusation at someone, Kaveh is doing that now.]

You're seriously considering eating that cookie to find out, aren't you?
animated: (πŸ“– 191)

[personal profile] animated 2024-02-26 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Hopefully traveling by hotel magic means no jet lag, either!

[ He's hilarious. ]
startraveler: (this is not what I expected)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-26 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks around the room. With how small he is right now even getting onto the bed will be a challenge.]

Normally I'm really good at climbing... But I doubt I can do that in this form.

[ Aw, shit.

Yuji shakes his head, waving his hand. He's not an amazing liar, he never has been, but maybe this one could be at least a little bit believable? Then again, Fushiguro has always known him far too well... ]


Sukuna isn't here with me, so maybe that's why.

[ It's not technically a lie! ]
tailcare: (049)

[personal profile] tailcare 2024-02-26 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ honestly? that's kind of fine. he's so fucking annoying!! tingyun opens her mouth to argue, then closes it again, and turns her tails away from him with a swish. ]

Goodbye.

[ the nerve!! ]

[personal profile] eyescar 2024-02-26 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, at least Gojo-sensei isn't judging him or anything.

Not that Yuji expected that he would, but he appreciates the support either way. It's not exactly normal, to tell someone you've eaten what are essentially your siblings in order to gain the power to save someone else, not even in their world, and all he can do is nod his head, lips twitching into a little smile.

He missed this man so much, and he doesn't think he'll ever be able to say it aloud, not in a way that expresses it enough. ]


Don't worry, sensei! That's not the only thing I've learned!

[ Wait until he whips out his understanding of the soul and his new RCT! ]

I'll definitely impress you!
hathasacat: (Used to be so afraid.)

[personal profile] hathasacat 2024-02-27 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ This is the look of a young man who is all too pleased by the answer given, however simple it is. ]

That's great. I hope you'll have a lot of fun here then.
hathasacat: (Making me make a move.)

[personal profile] hathasacat 2024-02-27 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ Don't worry, Lyney won't judge her acts of rudeness. Surely the rules are different when one's a bit smaller and furrier than usual! ]

It would have been rude of me to leave you in distress. Besides, it'd be a waste of a sweet treat to leave it unfinished!
cathasahat: (King of Bai Mudan)

[personal profile] cathasahat 2024-02-27 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I can help you get somewhere higher up with supplies just in case? I would say the bed, but then it might get messy.
seaurchin: (119)

[ While that explanation looks completely believable, Megumi still has a feeling that something is off. Parting from Sukuna to come here should be an event to celebrate. It feels like Itadori woudl have been much more forthcoming with that information, rather than omit it. There's no reason not to believe him, but Megumi's gut feeling is telling him that that's a lie.

There's a sterner look as he pushes on. ]


Are you telling me the truth?
eyescar: (pic#16886654)

[personal profile] eyescar 2024-02-27 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? He’s definitely not here.

[ Yuji lifts his hand and taps his head absently. It’s true- there’s no way that Sukuna could be here, since Yuji lost his control over him thanks to the stupid vow he made. He really should’ve just accepted things and stayed dead, and it would’ve been better for everyone, Fushiguro included.

He taps once, grinning. ]


No stupid voice or anything!
seaurchin: (29)

[personal profile] seaurchin 2024-02-27 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ Megumi definitely doesn't sense that familiar cursed energy of Sukuna from within the other boy, and the scars aren't there, so he is telling the truth. Still, he can't shake that bad feeling from within. He knows something is wrong, and Itadori already confirmed it by telling him he could not tell him. It doesn't feel like the other boy will ever tell him what happened. He never does. ]

Well, you're not lying about that. [ Just omitting ... something else. Seriously, if he's dead, he can probably take the news fairly well. ]

But there's something off about your cursed energy. [ He shouldn't have any now, or at least have the residuals of Sukuna's. Instead, it feels like a strange concoction of a lot of different things. ]
startraveler: (calm)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-27 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[He can see that. Lyney seems really easy to please sometimes.]

I hope we both will have fun.

[His cat tail sways in a way that betrays that he's really looking forward to it.]
startraveler: (wistful)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-27 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that will be the best option though. I'll clean up once I get back to normal...

[His choices are limited.]
netherese: (58)

[personal profile] netherese 2024-02-27 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
No!

[Well—

He clears his throat before correcting himself.]


I can't deny I'm curious, but I suppose there are other methods to be employed first. There are any number of spells that could identify the magic responsible at least in part.

[Still... he's thinking about it.]
netherese: (42)

[personal profile] netherese 2024-02-27 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[She'll appreciate it!

Gale starts ticking the items off on his fingers, one by one.]


Oh, unexpected pools of lava, people's shadows attempting to stage a coup and take their place— not to mention some of the things that can be found on a few particular floors. I had the tremendous pleasure of coming across a mimic that had legs in addition to the usual hunger for flesh— but I do believe those incidents are rather more isolated.

['Pleasure' is used loosely, here.]
animated: (πŸ“– 036)

[personal profile] animated 2024-02-27 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Jesus.

[ Don't ask him who that is. ]

That's a longer list than I was expecting. There are seriously floors with mimics on them?
netherese: (62)

[personal profile] netherese 2024-02-27 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[It sounds like a curse, at least— he can get that much from context.]

Just the one, so far— and I suppose it was mostly skeletons, but the mimic made an impression, as did the free-roaming ogre. If you come across a floor that looks vaguely dungeon-like, perhaps consider turning back— unless you're interested in that sort of adventure, in which case, by all means!

[No judgment. He had a good time, overall.]
animated: (πŸ“– 071)

[personal profile] animated 2024-02-27 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm interested in those sorts of adventures on paper, but I'm not so sure about real life. Guess now at least I know to be prepared.

[ Anyway, he offers a hand, tail wagging. ]

Thanks for the heads up. I'm Charlie.
hathasacat: (Twinkle twinkle disappear.)

[personal profile] hathasacat 2024-02-27 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ As a local expert at reading cat expressions, his smile grows all the wider when he spots that giveaway behind Aether. ]

Heheh, I do too.
netherese: (28)

[personal profile] netherese 2024-02-27 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Gale does the very same, his own tail going into overdrive as he takes hold of Charlie's hand and gives it a firm shake.]

Gale of Waterdeep, at your service! Ah— just Gale; I apologize. Old habits die hard, I'm afraid, despite expecting that very few of our residents are likely to recognize the name.

[c:]
animated: (πŸ“– 191)

[personal profile] animated 2024-02-27 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ !!!!

????

That Waterdeep? Surely not... but maybe?? Holy shit. Play it cool, Charlie. ]


Just Gale, then. It's really nice to meet you.
netherese: (123)

[personal profile] netherese 2024-02-27 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[MAYBE...]

Likewise! An absolute pleasure. Should you have any further questions while settling in, most people here have been quite helpful, though given your attire... I'm willing to hazard a guess that you're more familiar with some of the more modern fixtures of this place than I was upon my arrival.

[He's still working on understanding the full functionality of a tablet, but they are quite useful.]
animated: (πŸ“– 187)

[personal profile] animated 2024-02-27 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Charlie glances down at himself, tugging on the hem of his t-shirt with a chuckle. ]

You're not wrong. They offered me a cell phone when I got here, but I've already got one of my own. How long have you been here, if you don't mind my asking?
cardsharked: (3)

[personal profile] cardsharked 2024-02-27 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Odette laughs, her tail slapping the water hard enough to send up an amused splash.]

Swing and a miss, but you're lucky I ain't so easily insulted. I'm captain for a shipping gig: I kill pirates.

Most of 'em, anyway. [Big-voiced, but not overly boastful. Like most of Odette's determination, this probably doesn't come across as bluster. If she has a reputation, then it's one she doesn't feel any need to defend. In short: Purely earned and up to anyone's opinion.]

[The business itself was always on the up-and-up, but the cargo stored in the hold had far more varied origins. Maybe "smuggler" fit better, but it isn't a word she's mapping onto herself any time soon.]
