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.

challenge to make it cute accepted
Ehhh, but you're not stopping me, are you? Nyeheh. C'mon, play your part better! Where's the growling and barking?
[ Listen, this is how he shows affection, I swear. His jabbing only continues. ]
Y'know, I think all that cats vs. dogs business is just propaganda, anyway. How else would you have such a great friend like me?
get ready for hard mode
That's why I'm not stopping you. Because I know it'd be fruitless.
[ He just resists the urge to sigh again as there's more nuzzling. There's more poking. He's just going to let it happen. ]
I'm not a dog though, I'm a wolf. See? [ Opening his mouth for Gojo to spot some uh. Very sharp fangs. Like could actually maul a person with them type of fangs. ] It's more likely I'd eat you than just growl and bark.
[ Just... doesn't address the bit about Gojo being a good friend. Mixed!! Reviews!!! ]
no subject
As Nanami reveals his fangs — not a euphemism — Gojo whistles as though he's impressed, though actually...he's kind of jealous!! He didn't get fangs or claws or anything like that...what gives? ]
Do wolves eat cats? Besides, you know I'd give you one hell of a stomach ache if you did that. Not worth it.
[ ...Even still. His feline instincts tell him to take a few steps back, even with Limitless, and so he does, just to be sure. Behind him, his tail is alert. ]
If you do feel like hunting me, I bet we could have a lot of fun with it! Hehe...
[ As in, Gojo could have a lot of fun with it. ]
no subject
I won't actually eat you. You would give me a terrible stomachache and I'm not interested in it. But I am tempted to bite you.
[ Is Nanami... amused?! Yes, he absolutely is amused and in fact his. Tail wags. Just a little bit. He doesn't notice.
The idea of hunting Gojo seems like a fun one and he's almost tempted to take him up on it. The other man can teleport, which would be cheating, but Nanami's pretty confident in his tracking skills. Oooh, his dog brain really likes the idea of this. His human brain on the other hand, is mortified. ]
... We could. [ NOOO NANAMI, DON'T GIVE IN. ] What would be the prize?
no subject
Case in point: Gojo is a curious cat, and he wants to see Nanami's hunting skills in action. Just how sharp have his canine instincts made him? As sharp as Megumi's Divine Dogs? Even sharper? He's gotta know. ]
Bragging rights that you bested Gojo Satoru. Isn't that enough?
[ That's a great prize, in his opinion! But to sweeten the pot... ]
...And I won't tell anyone about your cutely wagging tail! Hehe...
[ The prize is no blackmail??? ]
no subject
Nanami looks alarmed, looking behind him to try and catch his tail in the act and giving a little circle as he follows his tail around, mindlessly chasing it for a moment before catching himself and pausing. ]
My tail is not wagging.
[ Yes it is. ]
But fine. Give me something of yours so I can track your scent.
[ Holding out a hand for it. Please don't give him something gross. ]
no subject
Eh? I guess I could take off one of my socks. Dogs are into that, aren't they? Uhhh...
[ But maybe he has something on him to use instead of a sock, as funny (and gross) as that would be. Gojo digs a hand into his pocket, and a moment later withdraws a handful of...
A pen, a tissue, chewed up piece of gum in a wrapper. ]
Pick your poison, or else I'm giving you the gum.
[ That's worse than the sock... ]
no subject
There's definitely a flat look at the idea of sniffing one of Gojo's socks, but then Gojo pulls out the other options and Nanami's starting to wonder if the sock would be better. This is his fault. He shouldn't have agreed to this. ]
That tissue isn't used, right?
[ Just... warily... before he picks it up. It's not used thankfully and he just gives it a consideration for a moment before reaching out and rubbing it over Gojo's face like an asshole. Then he pulls it back and sniffs it, it's got Gojo's scent on it alright. ]
Okay, we're good.
[ This is a stupid, stupid, stupid game. ]
no subject
[ As Nanami rubs the tissue in his face, Gojo’s ears and tail stand up random straight, and the impulse is there to bare his teeth and hiss, although his teeth aren’t all that impressive, next to Nanami’s. ]
I would’ve just spit in it for you! [ THAT WOULDN’T BE BETTER ] Sheeh. Okay, whatever.
…Bye-bye!!
[ Without further notice, he is breaking into an absolute sprint, dashing like a bat out of hell. Catch him if you can, Nanapup. ]
no subject
Which is why his instincts are triggered immediately when Gojo bolts off without warning and Nanami's ears and tail go alert before he's dashing forward to chase him with a growl. This is definitely the most animalistic he's felt since he got these ears and tail at the start of the month and it's kind of invigorating. With a huff he bites out: ]
Gojo-san.
[ God, he's going to be so embarrassed about this later. ]
no subject
...But Nanami can climb just as well as he can, so that's not gonna work. Instead, Gojo hastens his pace, hooking a sharp right down the next hallway, his fancy footwork an attempt to momentarily mislead Nanami about what direction he's going. ]
Heheh, you're getting a little too close for comfort there! Nanamiiiii!
[ To punctuate this, he offers a flick of his tail as he barrels forward. He promised he wouldn't teleport, but not that he wouldn't use his technique at all...so he has Blue up his sleeve if he needs it. ]
no subject
The fancy footwork does throw Nanami off for a bit, making him pause a little before taking that right and continuing forward to chase after Gojo. He dodges some of the guests they pass by, almost getting tripped up on an alien's tentacle on the way, but he has Gojo's scent in his nose and it's hard to lose it now. ]
This is what happens when you float everywhere, Gojo-san. You lose your knack for running.
[ Meanwhile Nanami is much more used to this because it's not like his technique is anything fancy. He still has to put in a lot of physical effort for it. ]
no subject
So, time to work smarter. ]
Ehehe, what will you do if you catch me, huh? Pick me up by the scruff of my neck?
[ As the pass through a hallway lined with ornate and very expensive vases, Gojo uses just a smidge of his technique to pull them down into Nanami's path as they run past them. Sorry for the mess, Mr. Bennet... ]
