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.

[He raises up, as if wanting to reach her.]
We can reply on each other's help... Just like you helped me today.
no subject
...yes, you're right.
[ She's glad that he trusted her to help him today, and that he seems to want to keep working together. ]

In this place, it's almost like we're on a "vacation" from who we were back in Teyvat.
[There is no Fatui, no Harbingers.]
So I think things could be different here. [He has no reason to distrust Lyney or Lynette while they're here... because what would their goal be here?]
no subject
Yes...I think so too.
no subject
That's also what I told Lyney.
[He knows both Lyney and Lynette are kind and mean well. They never meant him any harm either.
So perhaps in here... he could truly trust them.]
Thank you again, Lynette. I really appreciate the help.

[ She shakes herself a little and looks around. With how little he is as a bunny... ]
--actually, do you want me to put you somewhere else? I think it will be hard for you to reach much from the floor.
no subject
Normally I'm really good at climbing... But I doubt I can do that in this form.

[ She carefully scoops him up and places him on the bed. She pulls the pillow over as well. ]
no subject
To tell the truth... I started to feel kind of sleepy.
[Maybe after he takes a nap things will get back to normal.]
Thanks again, Lynette.
no subject
Of course. I'll come check on you later if you haven't turned back already.
no subject
Mhm... I'll see you later then.
