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.

What?
[That's really the only initial reaction he can have to this.]
Account? Cosplay? What do you even mean by that?
[Flashbacks to the time shrine maidens wanted to dress him up to take photos of him in order to advertise the Grand Narukami Shrine.]
no subject
[He wonders on how to explain this. Yeyasu despite having lived in Hinomoto for his entire life knew from books and heresay that there were some worlds out there that were more behind the times than others. Or they held different kinds of cultures and views that weren't like his own. He doesn't look down on these other worlds, though... In fact, he was very curious about other worldviews.]
Does your world have internet access? Or anything like computers?
[He knew that he would've gone crazy without a phone, game system or computer to mess around on!]
no subject
[His answer is really short, because honestly, while Teyvat has its technology there's nothing like the network used in this hotel. It's convenient, he will give it that, but he doesn't really mind not having it. He fared just fine without it, giving his nature as a traveler who comes and goes.
But who knows, maybe one day Teyvat will develop its own version.]
no subject
[Well, there's plenty of people who can get by just fine. But Yeyasu had such a millennial generation mindset! There were older demons who could barely use technology like the ones from his generation.]
Basically, I'm taking about social media. It's just an easier way to meet and talk with people without interacting in the flesh. You make a username, then create a profile with nice photos of yourself.
no subject
[They obviously have different experience.]
That aside... It does sound very convenient. Do you have an account on "social media", too?
no subject
[His personal adventures have given Yeyasu more perspective ranging from the rich to the poor. Didn't help that he had to lose everything himself to gain everything back. Despite being self-centered and spoiled, he couldn't ignore those who barely gotten by with only the clothes on their backs. His red eyes couldn't help and look at Aether with a glimmer of respect.]
Yup! I'm also a slayer at Demon Shogi Online too! [He speaks this with so much pride as a gamer.] Got any games in your world? They ain't gotta be technological-y... Board games are satisfying to play too.
no subject
[He doesn't have a "home" either, but there are places he likes to be and maybe placed he'd like to call his home eventually. One day.
He notices that glimmer of respect and grins the moment Yeyasu talks about games, proud of his skills.]
I've never tried that... but I would definitely want to give it a go someday. [He likes challenges!] Where I'm from, there's this game called Genius Invocation that is super popular. It's a trading card game based on a novel. [His expression brightens.] A lot of my friends play it, but one in particular is a huge fan.
no subject
[He might be a shogun, but he's also a big nerd. Playing card games was also an easy way to bond with the kids of his Netherworld and his younger brother. Speaking of which...]
My little bro is still learning the ropes, but I think he's got potential to be as good as me. [A beat.] T-Though he becomes more fearsome whenever he uses his foresight ability.
no subject
[Let him try everything. He's always curious about games from other worlds. His brow lifts a little at the last sentence though.]
"Foresight ability"? What exactly does it do? Can he predict stuff?
[That sounds like one overpowered ability.]
no subject
[He folds his arms and puffs his chest with some pride. Whenever it came to his family, Yeyasu held them in very high regard. Maybe even more so than himself.]
But you know what they say... There are some things that data can't fully analyze, so he's trying his best to not fully rely on those results every time. Destiny can be changed as easily as a sheet of paper, y'know.
no subject
[That would've been definitely overpowered, especially in a card game.]
Yeah, of course. Even if the opponent doesn't have anything good in hand, it doesn't mean they can't draw something that will change the entire duel.
no subject
[There's a sheepish grin on his face as he pauses.]
T-Though actual battles are a little more scarier. You gotta put your actual life on the line over duelist pride!
no subject
[He's just checking.]
no subject
[He doesn't act like the type, but whenever the switch was flipped... He has the potential to become quite a competent leader.]
no subject
[He takes a closer look, before laughing.]
But you're definitely not as scary looking as Raiden can be.
no subject
[This blows his mind since he thought that he was literally the only shogun out there!]
Okay! Spill the deets, dude! What's this other shogun like?
[He's got to size up his competition!]
no subject
She's the god of thunder and eternity that rules over the nation of Inazuma. Many people fear her, many admire her. I can only say that she's not that scary once you get to know her better, but you really don't want her as your enemy.
[He's not going to into detail of how Raiden was in the past and how much distress she's caused to her own people.]
no subject
[Yeyasu folds his arms with a confident look on his face. This guy clearly doesn't know what he's getting into.]
Don't worry! I don't mind a strong woman who can carry me in her arms. I'll be the sun to break through that thundery disposition.
[That's his way of saying: "I can fix her." (No. No he can't!)]
no subject
I see.
[He crosses his arms over his chest.]
I guess if you really want to die you can give it a go. [Would Ei even realize what he's trying to do? Would Shogun attack him? Would Sara get mad that someone is disrespecting her god?] ...Yeah, I can see way too many ways this could go wrong.
no subject
[He's acting like he didn't want to put himself up as bait. Don't mind him getting teary-eyed.]
C'mon! You could be a bro and tell me some of her likes and dislikes! That way, I wouldn't screw up royally...!
no subject
[Aether just shrugs. Does he really look like that?]
You're forgetting one thing - she's not even here. [For now, anyway.
He sighs.] But if you really need my advice - you could practice combat. Just in case.
