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.

Sorry, run all that by me again? The hotel decided to do this? And what's this about animal crackers?
no subject
This hotel is host to very, ah... magical happenings every now and again. Last month, the floor turned into lava and then into ice. This time around we've all been given animal traits. And the crackers turn you into whatever animal it's shaped like. I ate a dog-shaped cracker, for instance.

[ He tries for it to sound sarcastic, but it doesn't quite work. He's suddenly quite interested in how the magical funhouse part operates, and his tail starts going faster in response. ]
You ate a dog-shaped cracker... on purpose?
no subject
I was given murine features. It's... caused a few situations.
[ Please don't make her explain. ]
So, I'm taking a break by being a dog instead.
no subject
Such as an inescapable craving for cheese?
[ But that aside— ]
Do you know how to change back?
no subject
Yes. And to be honest, becoming a dog hasn't made it that much better, but at least I've not been chased around quite as much this way.
And as for changing back - it seems to be a matter of time... And inconsistently so, at that. I could be a dog for another few hours or minutes!

If you don't mind, what do you look like normally?

That's so cool!

[ what is this... "cool..." Wait, she's definitely heard it in the context of, y'know, something that's really impressive, but... ]
...Thank you, I think.
