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.

Foxes are okay apparently, though. After patting Tingyun between the ears, he picks up one of the animal crackers and turns it over between his fingers. ]
Thank god. A fox with thumbs would be freaky shit. [ ... ] If there's something you need, I could help you out, though...for a price.
[ He ain't doing shit for free! ]
no subject
[ she can't apply her makeup or cute clothes in this state!! ugh!!! at his price, however, she hmphs. ]
All right, I can appreciate a businessman, but I don't exactly have much to offer right now.
no subject
Sooo, what do you have to offer, then?
[ He's just curious what she'll say, more than anything. ]
no subject
Hmm..
[ her paws do a little tippy tap. ]
I'll let you pet my tails. All of them!
[ :D ]
no subject
Huhhh…you sure that’s not an offer that benefits you instead of me?
[ He’s just asking to be a brat, because let’s be honest, he would love to pet all her tails. He might be part cat, but he’s also only human. ]
no subject
Of course not! I'll have you know that I take excellent care of my fur, surely you'll never pet a softer tail.
[ with her snout thrust proudly into the air, tingyun skitters forward and smacks her tails against his leg. ]
no subject
Okay, but this better be like touching a cloud, or else...
[ Or else what?? Don't worry about it. He leans over to pet over the length of her luxurious fluffy tails, and...oh...
They are very nice and soft, aren't they...somewhat strained: ]
I've...petted softer...
no subject
[ do you even KNOW how much work she puts into her fur, sir!! even more than tighnari, and that's saying something to be honest. she prods at his shin with one paw. ]
I comb it three times a day, apply softening and moisturizing oils, and wrap it in cloudsilk every night to sleep. You'll never touch a softer tail again!
no subject
Pretty sure you just made cloudsilk up.
[ He hasn't heard of it before, so she must be making it up... ]
no subject
Just because you don't know what it is, doesn't mean I'm making it up. It's made by Xianzhou artisans, so if your world hasn't opened up to interplanetary trade, of course you wouldn't know what it is.
[ wait, why is she even arguing!! ]
Either way, you know as well as I do that you've never petted anything softer.
no subject
[ Why is she arguing when he's still petting her tail?? She's already won this battle, even if he won't admit it...and doesn't seem keen on holding up his end of the deal. ]
...How about this. I'll tell you your tails are the softest, and I don't have to eat an animal cracker. Sound good?
[ In true cat fashion, he is now feeling aloof and wary, the whole idea giving him cold feet. ]
no subject
You should tell me my tails are the softest because they are the softest.
[ which they are. she knows this. ]
Besides, I'm not going to force you to eat anything.
no subject
[ Like, damn, if he were her position, he would absolutely tell her to eat the cookie.
…He better not wind up talking himself into this! ]
Fine, then. [ ahem, clearing his throat ] Your tails are sooooo the softest, kitsune-chan!
no subject
[ she's not very strong, after all!! especially like a tiny fox.. also, she narrows her eyes. he sounds pretty disengenuous, but whatever, she doesn't want to argue. he admitted it, at least!! ]
But yes. All right. You're correct.
no subject
...And he's just gonna turn to go like he didn't offer her anything in return— ]
Well, see ya! Thanks for letting me pet you or whatever!
[ BYE FOREVER ]
no subject
Goodbye.
[ the nerve!! ]
