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.

Well, it's only happened twice in my life, but that's still pretty weird, right? Especially since the last time was a few weeks ago.
[ she should have been ready for this sort of thing, knowing full well how things work around here, but there's little enough to be done for it now. time to roll with it as best as she can. tingyun sits, her front paws neat in front of her. ]
Oh well.. I suppose it has to wear off eventually..
no subject
[ And since it's quite impolite to look down at someone while speaking to them, he steps off his chair and squats down neatly in front of her. ]
Would you like some assistance in returning to your snack? Now that you're already a fox, they probably can't do much else to you, can they?
i lost this notif ahhh sorry!!
[ fox squared?? foxception?? anyway, she looks up at the table, a little forlorn, and sighs. she would like to finish her dessert, if possible.. ]
Are you going to lift me up?
no worries!
[ The expression she makes up at the table, sad as it is, still gets him to smile with how cute it is. What heartless soul could leave her like this! Not Lyney, for sure. He flips over his hat, offering the empty vessel for her to hop into. ]
Anything for the lady. Hop in and I'll give you a lift.
no subject
but, oh! the hat! she fusses for a moment, because she'd hate to get fur all over his lovely headpiece, but it's far better than just being.. picked up. so after a moment's consideration, she hops right on into the hat, front paws resting on the rim. ]
Okay, ready!
no subject
Hold on as tightly as you can then.
[ In spite of the warning, the journey is very gentle; no sudden jerks or flips of the hat, just a smooth ride up onto the table. ]
Here you go.
no subject
this will have to do. she trots toward her frozen yogurt, then sits right down beside it, her brush tail flicking. ]
Thank you! You're very kind.
no subject
It would have been rude of me to leave you in distress. Besides, it'd be a waste of a sweet treat to leave it unfinished!
no subject
I'd offer you a spoonful but..
[ you know. one of them needs to have thumbs. ]
no subject
The thought is more than enough, Miss. With how easy it seems to be to have this sort of effect sneak up on someone, I'll probably be sporting my own furrier look soon anyway.
no subject
Ah, well.. I hope you're ready for it, in that case! It's not so terrible now that I'm used to it, but I do very much miss my thumbs. And being larger.
[ either way, she'll get back to snackin on her yummies. ]
no subject
[ He's at least going to attempt to find something to eat here that won't turn him into some sort of animal... and who knows how long that will take. ]
no subject
[ she'll remember his kindness! ]
