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.

2, mausumina!!
The afternoon finds him sitting in a windowseat at one of the hotel's many eateries, cross-legged with some manga open in his lap and working his way through the first half of a sandwich while the other remains on a plate beside him, tail wagging excitedly as he steadily flips through the pages, but even as engrossed as he is, he still catches a bit of movement near his plate out of the corner of his eye. He looks up curiously, brow furrowed before he spots the culprit— a mouse creeping towards his sandwich.]
Hey!
[The response is maybe a little louder than it needs to be, practically a bark.]
That ain't yours! [He reaches out to snatch his plate away, but pauses before he can grab hold of it.] ... you're pretty cute, though. You, uh— you're hungry, huh, little guy?
no subject
But you see, Mausumina did not realize there would be a big scary dog man sitting at this table when she decided to perform inexplicable mouse acrobatics to get onto this table. So singularly focused as she is on following the savory scent of a sandwich - and the cheese between those soft, airy slices of braid - that it comes as a veritable shock when she then hears a loud voice booming from above her. ]
Eek!
[ Immediately, she tries to duck behind the napkin dispenser on the table to hide... But then he actually asks... if she's hungry!? Oh, what a kind guest... She has gotten up to some mousechief, sure, but she's also been given grief by some of the other doggone guests here!
So she peers around the dispenser and looks up at him, clearing her throat to respond, even if her voice comes out a lot quieter and a lot squeakier than it might normally, when she is a grown-ass half-elven-shaped woman: ]
W-Well met! I made a mistake and turned into a mouse before I could properly have a meal today, I'm afraid. I, ah, didn't realize this sandwich was spoken for, though... Ahaha. I'll be on my way! I didn't mean to interrupt your meal and your—
[ Huh. She tilts her head. That looks like manga, but the characters look so different from that Bikini series Gojo reads. ]
Reading.

This vacation is awesome.]
W-w-wait, hold on just a second! You don't gotta run off so fast!
[He furrows his brow, breaking off a little piece of cheese from the half of the sandwich he's holding and offering it to her between his index finger and thumb.]
Here— you want this?
[Is he blushing...? (Yes.)]
no subject
Oh, I...
[ She couldn't... she shouldn't... but now it's been offered to her and in such an easily accessible little bite-sized piece that even as she turns to get out of his space, her little mousey nose is twitching and sniffing so very much. So much so that her head turns, and then so does the rest of her body, and before she can really reel her mousechief back in, she is making her way over in cute little mouse hops until she can get her tiny grubby hands on that proffered piece of cheese... ]
Are you sure...?
[ Looking up at him with pleading eyes... ]
no subject
Y-yeah, of course!
[Look at her nose! She can have all the cheese she wants, in his opinion.]
I can always get more. Here! All yours.
[He holds it out a little bit further for her to take. Come on, little mouse friend...]
