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.

[ Not that he brought many 'things' with him, since he doesn't... Own much... Being an orphan...
Waving his hands, he tries to muster up the best smile he can. ]
I hope you can rely on me too.
no subject
Hm. I'll rely on you to rest and enjoy yourself here, Yuji.
[ He seems like he needs it. But with that, she presses on: ]
What might your room number be? I can guide you there.
no subject
Oh, sure? Thanks?
[ A weird request, and not one that he thinks he can really do, considering, but he can try. It's the best he can do with his current situation the way that it is. ]
It's 0201? So second floor?

[ She gets up to her feet and extends a hand to him. ]
Come along. Where are the rest of your things?
[ She doesn't know... how lightly he's packed... ]
no subject
[ What's a few stories above ground level for someone like Yuji Itadori?
Looking sheepish, though, he rubs at his face. ]
I was meant to bring things?
no subject
Only if you wanted to. There's nothing wrong with traveling light, after all.
[ As for him casually saying he can just jump down from several stories above... Well. She'd be more surprised, if her usual guests at home weren't prone to such feats. And also if she hadn't been subjected to Satoru Gojo's antics for the last few months. She's under the impression that all jujutsu sorcerers are just Like That, though admittedly, she hasn't talked to Nanami much about his abilities.
But with that, she turns on her heel, gesturing gently for him to walk with her. ]
Let's take the stairs, then. But yes, the elevators do malfunction from time to time, at times putting you at a different floor than the one you'd chosen, or not moving entirely... I would ask you to be careful, but I suppose that's the way of your jujutsu sorcerers, isn't it?
no subject
[ Nothing, actually. He's not exactly allowed back into his dorms to grab stuff, and he didn't have a lot to begin with. Some manga, some clothes, things that don't really matter, in the long run. It's nothing that Yuji regrets having to leave behind, material items that are less important than the people.
(They are all kind of Like That, sorry, Sumina-san).
Yuji walks beside her like an attentive puppy, nodding along as she speaks. ]
We end up in trouble even when we're trying not to. Sorry if Gojo-sensei caused you problems.
no subject
Yuji, if I may... You needn't apologize for anything on your teacher's behalf, okay? How a grown man acts towards me or someone else isn't anyone's responsibility but his own.
[ Words Nanami should probably also hear even if neither of them will listen. ]
And don't worry. I'm used to troublemakers at home, too.
no subject
[ He knows exactly what his teacher is like and, unfortunately, he keeps matching his own energy. ]
As long as it's all going okay, I don't mind. I know he's a good guy, though!
no subject
In any case - a good guy, huh...? Sumina sighs against her better judgment, something a bit resigned, yet the smile on her face and the tone of her voice spells... fondness. Don't look at her.. ]
...It turns out that he is, yes. I've learned he's quite fond of you all, his students.
no subject
Scratching the back of his head, he laughs softly. ]
Yeah? That's nice to hear. I'm glad, Sumina-san.
