Event Log #005

[caelumstaff]

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.

Comments

[startraveler]

That's true... I'm not used to them either.

[He flinches just a little bit when she reaches out. Surely, it's his animal instincts kicking in, but he fights it and relaxes. The cape and scarf no longer trap him and Aether looks up, before hopping a little closer to Lynette.]

Thanks! It's good to be able to move freely.

[cathasahat]

[ She folds the cape and scarf, but hangs onto them since Aether obviously can't hold them right now. ]

You're welcome. Were you trying to go anywhere before this happened?

[startraveler]

[He is very grateful for that, too. Especially since he doesn't know how long it'll take him to turn back.]

Not really... I was just hoping to find a quiet place for a nap.

[He frowns a little bit.]

I can't believe I was a cat before and now I'm a bunny...

[cathasahat]

You're a cute bunny, I'm sure you were also a very cute cat.

[startraveler]

[If bunnies could blush, he would be very red by now. Maybe he's embarrassment will go unnoticed in this case?]

Ah, well... I wasn't a regular cat. Just... a person with cat ears and tail.

[Just like Lynette.]

[cathasahat]

[ She'll be nice enough not to comment on it, at least. ]

That also sounds like it suits you. Were the ears white or the same color as your hair?

[ ...mostly so she can keep complimenting (and gently teasing) him. ]

[startraveler]

Does... it?

[He knows there's more coming...]

The same as my hair actually.

[cathasahat]

What about your tail?

[startraveler]

Also the same.

[cathasahat]

And fluffy as well, I imagine. I wonder if you'll still look like that once this new effect wears off. Maybe you'll keep the bunny features instead.

[startraveler]

I... didn't consider that.

[He's not really sure which one he would prefer.]

Either way, I'm not eating any crackers anymore. That's what made me transform into an actual bunny.

[cathasahat]

Both would be cute, but we'll have to see.

Also I hope the crackers were tasty, at least.

[startraveler]

...You know, if you didn't tell me that Lyney didn't mention I was here, I'd think the two of you have some kind of contest going.

["Who will make the traveler blush more" the contest, to be exact.]

Anyway, the crackers were pretty okay, but not really worth turning into a small animal for.

[cathasahat]

[ This is the most innocent, deadpan face. ]

I have no idea what you're referring to.

Also that's a pity about the crackers. I'll have to set up another tea party later to make up for it.

[startraveler]

[He can see it, but he will not comment. It looks like he needs to be on his guard more!

However-]

A tea party sounds really nice.

[Finally food he can trust.

...Or can he?!]

[cathasahat]

[ Lynette would never mess with the tea or food she makes, that's blasphemy!! ]

We can celebrate your arrival--though we'll have to wait until you're back to your usual self, unless you want it to be a party with only vegetables.

[startraveler]

[Good, thank you Lynette.]

I have a better idea... We could celebrate your and Lyney's birthday.

[Don't think he forgot!!]

[cathasahat]

[ Her tail twitches a little in surprise. ]

Oh--that's kind of you. We could make it a joint party?

[startraveler]

Sure. Let's do it.

[His tiny bunny face seems to be smiling now. As much as a bunny can smile.]

[cathasahat]

Good.

Anyway, were you trying to go anywhere before all this happened?

[startraveler]

Not really. I was really hanging around and feeling like taking a nap before... well, I ate a cracker and turned into a bunny.

[cathasahat]

I see. Is there anywhere you want go now? Back to your room?

[startraveler]

It may be safer if I get back to my room...

[cathasahat]

We can at least drop off your clothes. Would you like any assistance?

[startraveler]

Yes... I don't think I can climb stairs or use the elevator like this on my own.

[Look at how small he is.]
