[Midnight Hotel] November catch-all
Characters: Anyone, everyone.
Date: Month of November, 2015 (2016 in-game).
Location: The Midnight Hotel.
Situation: Catch-all post! Feel free to use this post for anything that happens within the Midnight Hotel during the month, using the subject header to label specific rooms or for specific people. See also the OOC note at the bottom.
Warnings/Rating: Mark your threads if content warnings become applicable, please!
The Hotel’s processes are chugging along in November. Some absences due to Foreigners leaving means that the Hotel employees are fewer, and while nothing changes in terms of services, things are a little bit hectic. For this reason, some of the kedanese part-timers will be more prominent—particularly at the desk and in the lobby, and keeping the peace.
There’s also that incident with Ravel becoming a bunny rabbit, which puts a little extra strain on the staff, having lost one of their own … temporarily.
The kedan who know Anton well are tiptoeing around him a bit this month. Some of them witnessed him with China at the masquerade and there are some rumours going around the Hotel that the proprietor has a squeeze on the side. Those who actually mention it inside his hearing find out quickly not to do it again, and even on good days he’s tense and almost grumpy. The only times his mood lightens at all this month are when he has the care of the tiny white bunny Erskine’s become.

PLEASE POST TO THE STATUS PAGE IF YOUR CHARACTER WOULD LIKE A ROOM, JOB OR AREA IN THE GARAGE, OR ARE MOVING OUT. Anton will manufacture means of payment until Foreigners are able to properly offer recompense or choose to move out.]

He watched as Anton surveyed the bed, realized that Erskine as he had been was no longer in it. The shaking in the little white body hadn't subsided. This was... this was too much. It was too much. That odd mixture of relief and panic was at war inside the tiny body, the miniature heart beating wildly.
At the sound of his name, the bunny crept forward along Anton's solid--if bony--shoulder and butted his head up against the man's cheek. There was no other way to communicate. Nothing he could think of in his semi-panicked state, at least.
Yes, Anton had figured it out. Anton recognized him. Maybe he wasn't completely lost after all.

"Breathe," he said quietly. How did one stop a rabbit from having a panic attack? This was out of Anton's purview. "You're safe. You're unharmed. This is an unusual occurrence, but you aren't--I assume--hurt. Don't fight it, and we'll figure it out when you're ready."

He was, however, immensely grateful that Anton had elected not to move him again. The hand was a comfort, as was the nuzzle, and for a minute he simply let the familiar voice wash over him. The little eyes closed briefly as he listened, tried to apply Anton's logic and reasoning to himself.
Was he hurt? No. Not unless you counted being tiny and fuzzy as hurt, and Erskine had suffered much, much worse hurts than being small and adorable. Eventually the little body seemed to relax, the shaking subsiding and the fluffy white form unfurling on Anton's shoulder.
He bumped his head against Anton's cheek again. They would figure this out together. Something incredibly strange had happened to him, yes, but at least he wasn't alone.
