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.

[ Oh, wait, no, he's fallen onto his back. ]
Woopsie, just kidding. Need a hand— ehehe, or a paw?
[ She reaches out with one of her little bunny paws! ]
no subject
Thanks. You really saved me.
no subject
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..) ]
no subject
[Honestly, he's going to be wary of the food from now on!]
This is the first time I become an animal though.
no subject
Well, it's all free food, so I can't complain, hehe! And turning into an animal isn't so bad, is it? We're not even in the middle of battle right now! That's when it gets really annoying, honestly! I can't hold my axe as a little bunny.
no subject
Wait... Does that mean that you can normally turn into animals?
no subject
[ Why does she sound proud of this, ]
I can't control my magic, sooooo sometimes I turn into a bunny if I let loose. But other times my hair changes colors! Oh, and there was another time I couldn't stop blinking around... it's all random, really!
no subject
[But she seemed proud of it. He is confused.]
no subject
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!
no subject
[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?
no subject
[ She puffs up proudly! ]
I'm a junior adventurer with the Alchemighty! Er. Wait. Kind of. I'm more of an independent junior adventurer right now, I guess! Non-inflated!
[ She means non-affiliated. ]
no subject
I happen to be an adventurer, too. I usually take jobs from the Teyvat's Adventurers' Guild.

Or do it the old-fashioned way - go into a tavern and ask everyone inside!
no subject
[He is pretty well known by now.]
no subject
[ Awesome. She'd love to just get recognized and get quests flung her way like that. ]
...Does it get tiring, though?
no subject
I'm used to it.
[He doesn't like admitting that it does get tiring.]
