EVENT LOG
number 005




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.

[ His eyebrows arch, and he leans forward to get a better look at her, hands on his hips and fluffy tail swaying. ]

Did you not even realize you were stealing it?

I, ah...

[ She whirls on her heel, trying to find where the heck this thing came from. Sure enough, there's a spot on the wall with a hanger where a painting should be... ]

...This has been happening a lot. I get a bit lost in my thoughts, and then it's as if instinct kicks in, and before I know it I have... things in my hands.

[ As she slowly wobbles over to where the painting was hanging... ]

[ This is so funny to him. He would have never taken Sumina for a kleptomaniac, let alone one who acts without thinking. He watches her wobble back over to replace the painting with no shortage of amusement. ]

I didn’t know you had it in you. Don’t tell me you’re the one who made off with the Margaritaville.

O-Of course not! This only started happening when I gained these murine features, mind you! Honestly...

[ Now facing the empty wall, Sumina tries - and fails - to secure the painting back onto its rightful place.

Glancing over her shoulder at him: ]


A little assistance, please?

[ He's just teasing her. He figured it was because of this transformation, and lucky for both of them, he's too big a cat to find a mouse appetizing. So, he steps up to lift the painting from her hands (if she'll let him). ]

I've got it. Just tell me where the nail is.

[ Lucky for both of them indeed, though to a mouse, he is still a rather large cat, and that's enough for instinct to kick in and have her stepping away reflexively when he steps up to her. ]

Wh— [ Weird. She didn't do that. Did she? ] Sorry, Winter, I didn't mean to do that? Strange... H-Here.

[ She will just hold out the painting at arms' length and indeed let him take it, but she seems rather nervous in doing so. ]
