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.

[If the guy says he's good, then he's good— Kanji knows how he feels when people start needling him with questions, and he gives a shrug. Hey, buddy, if you say so.]
I can definitely get feelin' confused. I'm pretty new here. You just wanderin' in?
[He'd probably have to, to look that rough. Nothing here would have made him look like that, right?]
no subject
Yeah, I've been here a few hours?
[ So it's still kind of strange and new to him? ]
How new is 'new' for you?
no subject
[Hours? Damn.]
Enough to know where some things are, but still figurin' a lot of it out as I go. Pretty weird place, right?
[He's trying to play things off casually, but his gaze definitely lingers on this guy a bit suspiciously— out of concern, more than anything else, but he knows enough to keep his mouth shut on that one.]

[ A few weeks for Yuji changes his entire world, so maybe that's a fair comment to make.
Glancing back up, he tries to muster a smile. He tries. ]
It's totally different from anywhere I've been at home. I don't think I've ever been into a place this fancy.

[He's never really been too far outside of Inaba, and even trips to the other side... well. They never lasted this long, and they sure as hell weren't this comfortable.]
First for me, too. We've got an inn back home that's kinda famous, but it's nothin' like this. Never even seen a building with this many floors, and that's not even countin' all of the crazy shit this place has.
[Hey, that's attempt at a smile is pretty good. Not convincing, but Kanji tries to give a little one back. You know, encouragement.]
It ain't bad, though.
