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.

animal crackers
[Kanji, sporting a pair of black, floppy canine ears and a tail to match, practically leaps out of the way as the rabbit in question circles around his feet while he's walking, narrowly missing tripping over her. Never one to resist animal crackers, he has a little box of them in one hand and cracker in the other— the animal itself indiscernible thanks to the way he's holding it— but rerouting himself to avoid stumbling over Navia has distracted him from taking his first bite.
Rather than continuing on, he crouches down to put himself a little closer to the rabbit's height. He's still a hell of a lot taller, even with her on her hind legs, but it's better than looking straight down.]
I wouldn't say you're in my way, but you might wanna watch where you're goin'. If someone ain't paying attention, that could end real bad— you're pretty little.
[Real damn cute, though. This hotel is freaking awesome. Nobody ever gets turned into animals back home!]

Oh, my apologies, monsieur! I only wanted to have a little fun, but I didn't mean to startle you. I hope you're alright?
[ She's not going to run around anymore, at least. Still, there's something she needs to point out, given the animal crackers in his hand... ]
And be careful with those crackers, okay? I have a feeling that those are what turned me into...this.
no subject
[Her warning, however, has him turning his attention towards the cookie in his hand, tail wagging thoughtfully.]
So... you think this is what did it?
no subject
[ As for the cookie in his hand, Navia hums contemplatively. She'd be frowning a lot more obviously if she were a human. ]
It could be. Unless there was something in the vegetables I ate earlier, I can't think of anything that might have done it. The timing was convenient. On the upside, they taste very good, so do what you will with that knowledge.
no subject
[Like, being a rabbit? That sounds like a good time to him.
He frowns a little, his mouth quirking to one side.]
Huh. Never met an animal cracker I didn't like. And even if somethin' happened, it's not like it'd be forever, right? Probably.
