This looks really cool, even after just one update! I'm definitely a fan of combining suggestions the suggestions, it's an interesting way to use a simple character sheet to get a complex character.

Retrieve arms ukelele, play some radical inspirational tunes to make ourself feel less like garbage, then look out window.

Er, you do know we can't read alt-text on phones, right?

Find source of hugs.  We seem to be in need of one.

((what is this magic?? links within pictures??))
EP beat me to it, but yeah. BBCode does some pretty cool stuff! I'll probably be using the [abbr] tag to do the occasional Image Alt-Text too (scroll over for effect).
I should make a guide for this one day >_> <.<
When I get out from being buried under hopeless anxiety and apologize to NAV and submit stuff >_>

Hug thyself; try to inspire motivation by fixating on your ukelele, and your goal of the aspiring singer.

Re: hug the ukulele. Just do it.
Also position the PoV to see us against the light for contrast and the spotlight when this occurs. Obtain dramatic musical highlight and bond with ukelele.

You stand up from your seat on the floor.
As you rise, your feet wobble under you, and your head swims a bit.
You manage to keep yourself from falling, though.

Seems you're in a well-lit cave. It's surprisingly warm and dry.
From what you know of subterranean places, that's a little unusual.
As you look around, you see an equally strange Stray Ukulele. Maybe it's yours?

You certainly played one before, but you're not sure this was it.

Something about it feels...



As you try to remember the Uke you used to play, your head starts to feel really strange.
The thoughts start to shift and blur, until the ideas don't make proper sense anymore.
It's like the memory becomes sounds and smells, or reasons and feelings, or something else.
The whole Train of Thought just melts into mushy nonsense, until you can't hold it anymore.

Then there goes the Caboose of Thought, evaporating into nothing.
Like the details of a dream, after you wake up.
Or a train that's real shitty at existing.

No, scratch that last one. First one was better.



Anyway, whether or not the Stray Ukulele is yours, it's all alone here.
It's a little scuffed and travel-worn, but it's in good condition.
And there's no one else to take care of it, right?

You decide to take it with you. It might need a name, though.




Uke secure, you head over to a large, bright opening in the cave wall.
At first, you thought it might be a window, but it's big enough to walk through.
The bright sunlight makes it hard to see the details without stepping outside.
However, there's a trail of some sort, winding between two rocky hills.

You're thinking it's more of a doorway. Perhaps the Cave Entrance?





What, this big thing? Obviously, that's a Duffel Bag.

Though, like the Ukulele, you don't recognize it either.
You head starts to feel all fuzzy again when you try.

It's probably pretty heavy, judging by the size.
You'd rather not carry it around until you're ready to move on.

Still, you're kinda curious about what's inside.
Unless there's anything else you really wanted to do here, maybe...

Retrieve arms ukelele, play some radical inspirational tunes to make ourself feel less like garbage

I guess you do still feel pretty messed up, huh?
Especially what with all the brain static.
Writing a tune can help you process Complex Feels, so maybe...


Find source of hugs.  We seem to be in need of one.

Well, okay. You can drop the song idea.
Maybe this situation calls for a hug, instead?
I mean, there's no one here, but there's...

That Big Stalagmite, I guess?

You could probably sorta just... drape yourself around one?
Pretend it was...


Spontaneously start thinking about kittens for a moment.

Okay sure whatever. Forget your troubles.
Replace them with kittens. That works.

Right?

And hey! Unlike normal kittens, Brain Kittens don't have to eat or poop!
That's great! So you're just gonna put this next idea on hold.
Then you can summon some Brain Kittens right up, and...






≫ Name the Ukulele?

≫ What's in the Duffel Bag?

≫ Wat do??

Turn inner song into Hardchoral

Break off stalagmite for use as club. Check out dark doorway.

This is exactly what you've been hinting me on the IRC and I love it. And you added meowies! :P :))
This is awesome. The Ukelele has the soul of a cat \o/ (In my mind anyway)

Goodness am I getting names that are more for 'call upon this item' rather than 'good character name' :I Guess I'll desist from suggesting a name at the moment.

Also I do think Soli is poking us to name stuff in the Duffel Bag. Basically 'DO that starting inventory that can probably fit in it! \o/'

I'm betting on an instrument care kit that's extremely durable and reusable.
