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.

startraveler: (there for you)

worse surprises

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-07 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Kaveh?

[Aether's steps are quiet, perhaps influenced by his sudden cat traits. He has a pair of cat ears on top of his head and a matching tail swishing behind him.

He can see that his companion seems to be struggling and he lowers his voice when he's asked to.]


Are you okay? [There's concern in his eyes.]
startraveler: (you sure you don't need help?)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-07 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true... I'm not used to them either.

[He flinches just a little bit when she reaches out. Surely, it's his animal instincts kicking in, but he fights it and relaxes. The cape and scarf no longer trap him and Aether looks up, before hopping a little closer to Lynette.]

Thanks! It's good to be able to move freely.
cathasahat: (Dong Fang Meiren is an insect-bitten tea)

[personal profile] cathasahat 2024-02-07 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She folds the cape and scarf, but hangs onto them since Aether obviously can't hold them right now. ]

You're welcome. Were you trying to go anywhere before this happened?
startraveler: (about the unexpected)

1!

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-07 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[The moment someone suddenly enters his space, Aether flinches, his new set of cat ears standing up and his tail straightening as well in surprise. Even when he clams down, his tail continues to swish, as if betraying his uneasiness.

Normally he isn't like this, but he finds it a bit tricky to control his newly acquired cat instincts.]


Huh? Oh... I'm Aether. It's nice to meet you.
startraveler: (day like every day)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-07 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[He is very grateful for that, too. Especially since he doesn't know how long it'll take him to turn back.]

Not really... I was just hoping to find a quiet place for a nap.

[He frowns a little bit.]

I can't believe I was a cat before and now I'm a bunny...

[ Even when she's fully herself, Sumina is already such a cookie-enjoyer. As a canine, this appreciation and interest only seems to have heightened, her fluffy little tail wagging fast the moment Lynette reaches for a cookie with seeming intent to share, tongue peeking out of her mouth in anticipation. ]

Oh! Delectabale!

[ She lowers herself fully onto the floor to sniff and lick at the dropped cookie. Oooh, eating off of the floor should be disgusting, really, but she's a dog at the moment and doesn't care! ]

Mm, shortbread... The aroma of butter is so...

[ Then she starts munching. ]
astarion: (190)

[personal profile] astarion 2024-02-07 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[And he pounces successfully, which is a shame, because Astarion had been only a few precious feet away from the water.

But as it stands, he goes crashing into the ground when the heavy weight of a displacer beast bears down upon him. A very inelegant HONK noise is let loose from this goose's beak, and he tries his best to flap his wings and twist his body around, corkscrewing his neck at just the right angle to squawk in Winter's ear-]


Get off of me, you bloody feline-!!

[And makes a valiant attempt to nip at that same ear in defiance.]
astarion: (288)

[personal profile] astarion 2024-02-07 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Gods. Is he really going to make him do this? Once more, his tail twitches from behind him, but Astarion carefully reaches down and picks up the bone... with two fingers. Like it's radioactive or something.

Makes a face.]


I will throw it once for you. After that, you had better not bring this back.
airdnd: (177)

[personal profile] airdnd 2024-02-07 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...Damn, she can't believe that actually worked. ]

H-Haha. Good kitty...

[ Thank gods that it did, though, as it now affords Sumina a moment to catch her breath, to reel herself back from the tension of the last few moments while trying to... stealthily (?) make her way over to her door... To get away from someone who can just teleport to her at will anyway, help. ]
hathasacat: (Time I'll toss far into the distance.)

beary hungry

[personal profile] hathasacat 2024-02-07 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Okay. Bears in the kitchen? That's fine. That's okay. Lyney was getting used to encountering slightly-strange things and honestly speaking an entire bear wasn't too startling. Especially one that seems to be avoidant and preoccupied with eating. Just leave the bear to do its thing while he gets himself a snack. ]

[ Which is why he nearly jumps out of his skin when he hears a voice in the bear's direction, staring wide-eyed over. ]


O-Oh- Yes, of course?
airdnd: (179)

[personal profile] airdnd 2024-02-07 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Don't blame them, blame capitalism!!

Sumina nods along knowingly, picking up everything that Giselle is putting down. She's lucky to have her level head in this situation. Together, they are little mousechievous mousekeepers...

She takes a turn for herself to peek out, too, and it's then that Sumina spots an opportunity, so she hurriedly draws back and turns to Giselle. ]


A server is coming with a serving cart...! If we're lucky, they'll stop at this table and we can hop on or duck beneath to stay hidden!

[ Listening to all of her guests' crazy hijinks and shenanigans is really paying off here! ]
indigrow: (082)

[personal profile] indigrow 2024-02-07 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh..? What an interesting answer. Clara lowers herself to take a seat on the edge of the pier as well, letting her legs dangle over the water. ]

Of course this is not where you belong. This is not a real ocean.

[ But she disgresses, gazing out at the horizon, wondering the same. ]

Here for some quiet away from the zoo that the rest of the hotel has become.
feyfound: (003)

[personal profile] feyfound 2024-02-07 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ With Aetherbun successfully rescued, Junibun gives a little bunny salute! ]

You're welcome! Ehe, it can be scary to be so small all of a sudden, can't it!?

[ She says it like this has happened to her before. (It has..) ]
unliminal: teen (83)

[personal profile] unliminal 2024-02-07 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She thinks she can just activate his praise kink and sneak away like that?!

With a trill, his gaze swivels towards her as she creeps towards the door, ears perking up as he but forgets about the ribbon. It's more fun to play with prey that can run away, and--

And she has a ribbon in her hair, too.

He springs towards her, arms outstretched to attempt to ensnare her again. ]


Nice try, Mina-chan, but you're not getting away that easily!

[ He's going to try to snatch the bow in her hair! ]
cardsharked: (3)

[personal profile] cardsharked 2024-02-07 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Gonna try headbutting me to get through? You've got it all backwards, missy.

[It has nothing to do with keeping away from the others - her instinct is to ensure just the opposite. At the very least, Giselle should be with the people who haven't found themselves undergo unexpected changes just from eating a cookie and away from guests who found themselves wolves.

A real dog at work never sits, but Odette isn't fully beyond controlling her actions. She sits back on her haunches, though she keeps her hefty figure parked right in the middle of the hallway.
]

Just directing the flow of traffic. You know, herding the flock. Guess it's not so different from running a tight crew.
staffcocked: (YOU'RE complimenting ME?!)

[personal profile] staffcocked 2024-02-07 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh?! Wait... I know that soothing customer service voice! You're Miss Heartleaf?!

[It's a little different, but Yeyasu knows the voices of the ladies. Awkwardly, he's going to reach out to take her hand even if his has become more hairy. The good news was that his hair was still pretty and pink!]

Now I've seen a giant space sardine, but a big ol' hamster is a new one. Did you, uh, happen to eat one of those crackers?
staffcocked: (Yaaaaaa-wwwwwnnnn!)

[personal profile] staffcocked 2024-02-08 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, they do? [A beat.] Oh yeah! They do! They usually don't wear much, so I end up looking at their--

[There's a pause as Yeyasu realizes that he was about to go on a horny tangent, but stops himself. The Nekomata in his world really don't wear much of anything asides the fur on their backs. It leaves very little to the imagination!

Blushing, he awkwardly clears his throat.]


A-Anyway! I'm guessing you ate one of those animal crackers, yeah? I had some monkey parts not too long ago.
startraveler: (here we go again)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-08 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
[The look on his face is absolutely judgmental, sorry. But at the very least the other stopped himself from saying too much. Aether will not comment, but his deadpan gaze seems to be saying way more than words ever could.

He is going to move on from this subject after a moment of silence.]


Animal crackers?

[He crosses his arms and shakes his head.]

What is with this place and food that transforms you somehow?

[When he arrived here he got treated with a yogurt that made him shrink.]
startraveler: (pic#16232108)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-02-08 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
That's true... but when I first got here I also ended up shrinking because of the food here.

[Honestly, he's going to be wary of the food from now on!]

This is the first time I become an animal though.
unliminal: (GS (707))

[personal profile] unliminal 2024-02-08 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Okie-dokie, I woooon't!

[ He can't help but sort of howl the long syllable of that last word. It's also a blatant lie; Gojo's doggo-infused nature can't override his inclination to lie to get what he wants.

As soon as Astarion lifts the bone, he readies himself to launch into a sprint as soon as its thrown, nose to the air and tail wagging madly behind him. ]


Okay, throw it, throw it!!!

[ BARK. ]
unliminal: (010)

2 doggy date time

[personal profile] unliminal 2024-02-08 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ What if they were both doggos, and they met under the table where someone is eating something that smells really good, and they held paws?

...Wait, is that Sumina? It must be — he would recognize her scent anywhere. ]


You look cute like this, Momo-chan! Hehe...

[ Too bad he can't pet her. Dog on dog petting action would probably look kinda... ]

Want me to knock this table over? Just say the word!
unliminal: (07)

hop to it

[personal profile] unliminal 2024-02-08 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ It will depend how on bold Bruno is feeling whether or not he finds Gojo, sporting cat ears and a fluffy, white tail, as a highly-chaseable creature, but the sorcerer hardly seems intimidated by the hard look in his eyes. Rather, he leans back against the wall opposite of the elevator, tail flicking lazily behind him, hands tucked behind his head like he hasn't a care in the world. ]

Why are you asking me? I'm not the boss of him.

[ He knows why Bruno is asking. He's just compelled to be a little shit even more than usual right now...which is saying something. ]
airdnd: (170)

[personal profile] airdnd 2024-02-08 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ If only she'd had something to drink, she could have properly decked him, but alas her latent monk skills are exactly that - latent - and Satoru is able to snatch her up again easily. She needs to start carrying a flask around like Popeye with a can of spinach.

Giving a squeaky yelp as a result, and immediately squirming in his arms: ]


S—Satoruuu! Unhand me, you menace!
cathasahat: (Tencha leaves can be ground into matcha)

[personal profile] cathasahat 2024-02-08 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
You're a cute bunny, I'm sure you were also a very cute cat.
airdnd: (127)

[personal profile] airdnd 2024-02-08 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Taking extra care so as not to pull too hard with her hefty weight, Sumina gently tries to get Yeyasu back onto his... feet? Paws? While she nods. ]

Yes, it's me, Sumina. I found a larger-than-the-rest cookie, but I sincerely didn't think it would turn me into this.

[ She really likes cookies, okay. But also— ]

Giant space sardine?
