Doodlebird.

This is Doodlebird.

Doodlebird, for the moment, is a blank slate. They are your representative in the Doodle World. Once you assign Doodlebird basic traits, Yours Truly shall grant them autonomy. Although they're free to do as they please, Doodlebird will look to you for guidance, and follow your advice more often than not.

The veil between the Doodle World and yours is exceptionally thin in places. When Doodlebird enters such area, you may engage in direct dialogue with Doodlebird—but bear in mind, they can't survive in these places long. Conversations between yourselves and Doodlebird shall be short indeed.

They have an important task to complete. Please assist them on their journey and keep them in good health. Although influencing Doodlebird's perception of yourselves runs contrary to Yours Truly's principles, Yours Truly will imbue them with a predisposition to trust you—try not to abuse their good faith.

**Doodlebird thinks they'd enjoy breaking blocks. However, the blocks are beyond Doodlebird's pecking range, which frustrates them. Doodlebird inspects the book for now. It emanates a strange energy at Doodlebird's approach.**

> Consume Stool

**Doodlebird can't right now. They need to be in the right mood.**

Jump on stool.

Jump on stool.

**Doodlebird sees where you're going with this. Ignoring its strange aura, Doodlebird knocks the book off the stool. They push the stool into place under the blocks and get on.**

**With their height bolstered, Doodlebird attacks the closest block. It shatters, and a scrap of paper falls to the ground.**

**Doodlebird is delighted! They break the remaining blocks hoping for more prizes—and prizes they receive.**

**Now there are THREE paper scraps on the floor, each bearing a different symbol. Doodlebird spies a HEART, a KEY, and an UP ARROW. Doodlebird isn't sure what they mean, but they all have Doodlebird curious—**

**What's this? They're starting to fade away. Doodlebird can only hold one item at a time. They don't know which one they want to save!**

**Doodlebird is paralyzed with indecision!**

With their height-based difficulties, it's safe to say Doodlebird probably wants up. So nab that up arrow before it's gone!

>The key

>The key

it's unlocking time

>Grab the arrow, and try to peck that heart.

>Prioritize key. Try to roll to the other scraps if need get them on time.
