**Lillian McQuill** is a bear the player meets after arriving on Cozy Grove island. She is one of the four bears introduced in New Neighbears DLC. Lillian is a Forest Spirit that occupies Clyde Wallace's area after Clyde ascends.

## Appearance

Lillian is a mouse who appears to be made of origami paper with dotted lines and delicately painted flowers.

The following landmarks are located in Lillian's area: a crafting desk with a large crank, a treehouse, stacks of books and paper, origami cranes, notebooks, and other office supplies.

## List of quests

Every day, Lillian McQuill has a chance to give the player a quest, provided she has no quest active. The quest can be started by speaking to Lillian McQuill.

If Lillian McQuill is ghostly blue and her area is not colored, she will give the player a story quest. If Lillian McQuill is colored but her area is not, she will give the player a daily quest. If both Lillian McQuill and her area are colored, she will not give any quests, but the player can still converse with her to listen to some gossip or occasionally advance her story.

Story quests are untimed and advance Lillian McQuill's story, allowing the player to learn more about her, fill her heart meter, and restore her memories. Some story quests require the player to collect a lot of resources or help other bears to get quest items. The story quests often give spirit logs as rewards.

Non-story quests have a time limit, do not provide any story development, and give random rewards. There are no penalties for letting a timed quest expire.

Some quests require the player to find items hidden on the island. The hidden objects spawn after the player accepts the quest, with hints on their location provided in the quest menu. If the player has trouble locating the item, they can get a hint from Charlotte Pine for 100.

### Daily quests

Every daily quest has a chance to give the player a crafting recipe for a random decoration in addition to regular reward.

## Chat

Every day, when Lillian McQuill has no quest active, the player can chat with her for some random gossip. Lillian McQuill can give the player advice or tell a little about herself or other bears.

Chatting with Lillian McQuill does not advance her story.

After the player chats with Lillian McQuill once, they can ask her for a hug.

**Lillian:** Are we supposed to say something interesting every day?
Oh wow... that's a lot of pressure...
## Daily quest lines

Start:

**Captain:** ...oh! Hi.
(Tell them.)
Oh, no, it's nothing. Just... if you see some imps running around with my lunch...
... maybe ask them if I could have it back when they're done?
End:

**Captain:** You found it!
I don't think I deserve such a delicious lunch... or such a helpful friend...

## Story quests expanded

At first Lillian is too shy to talk to the Scout.

**Lillian:** ...!
...uh...
...heheh...? hrm...
...ummm h...hi...?
(Oh god oh god what a huge mistake why did I come here I am a total idiot to think this would help...)
**Scout:** What's a mistake? / Don't talk to yourself that way!
**Lillian:** ...?
... um... UHHHH I mean.... did you...?
(Oh no oh no is it possible? Can you actually hear my thoughts?)
**Scout:** Yep. / Those are thoughts?
**Lillian:** Oh! Ha... ok! F... fun? That's ummm very fun.
(This is literally the most terrifying thing I can imagine, NO ONE must know the labyrinth of self-torment that is my inner world)
(I need to get away from this mind-reading demonscout as quickly as possible)
(And... you can hear all this, can't you?)
**Scout:** Yes. / Oh, definitely not.
**Lillian:** (Great.)
This conversation unlocks Lillian's first memory.

### A bagel

Lillian is hungry but is too shy to ask for the Scout's help.

**Lillian:** (Ack it's that scout again!)
(Remember, they have a direct line to your busted brain. Try not to think of anything horrible or embarrassing.)
(Try not to think about butts.)
...yes um hello.
**Scout:** Are you doing ok? / Do you want me to leave? I can go.
**Scout:** Don't worry, everyone thinks about butts sometimes.
**Lillian:** OH HAHA yeah...
**Lillian:** Ummmmm don't worry about me, doing supercoolio over here.
('Supercoolio' is not a thing, Lillian.)
(They *know* you're not doing fine, Lillian.)
(They probably even know how hungry you are. Not like they care.)
The player needs to bring Lillian one bagel to complete the quest. They are rewarded with one random decoration.

**Lillian:** ...! Is that... for... me?
**Scout:** You mentioned you were hungry! / Of course! / Why wouldn't it be?
**Lillian:** ...oh, wow. Th...thank you.
### Still hungry

Lillian is still hungry.

**Lillian:** (There's that scout again. Maybe they want me to thank them for the bagel?)
(But I thanked them yesterday. Would a second 'thank you' be annoying?)
(What would happen if I mentioned that I was still hungry?)
(I'd give up this whole ill-conceived expedition to Cozy Grove for one more serving of delicious carbs...)
**Scout:** Is there something you need? / Hey, I'm going out for some bread. Want anything?
**Lillian:** Nope! No. I don't want to be a bother. Just ignore me!
The player needs to bring Lillian one savory bread to complete the quest. They are rewarded with six magic hairballs.

**Lillian:** Did you...? Ahhhh, I didn't want you to go out of your way for me!
You have so much important stuff to do around the island, and I'm wasting your time with bread runs.
(Eat the bread eat the bread eat the bread...)
Um I guess if it would go to waste otherwise... would it be ok if I... um...
**Scout:** Enjoy! / Yes, eat! Eat!
**Scout:** You're killing me, Lillian.
**Lillian:** Oh.... sorry...
**Lillian:** What I meant to say is... thanks?
### Pen and paper

Lillian has trouble talking to the Scout in person.

**Lillian:** Hey! I mean hey, hi. No, just hey.
(Congrats, Lillian, on the most pathetic hello in the known universe.)
I.... um....
(Spit it out, Lillian! Do you think this scout has all day?)
AUGH I want to say something to you, but every time I try to talk, that voice in my head just... it just...
**Scout:** Drowns you out?
**Lillian:** Yeah. It would be easier if I could just write things down.
The player needs to craft two sheets of blank paper at Jeremy's and find a pen hidden somewhere on the island. Once the player brings the items to Lillian, she gives them a crafting recipe for a random decoration and asks to give her time to gather her thoughts.

**Lillian:** Oh! This... this will help!
But I haven't written in so long... it might take me a little time to gather my thoughts.
**Scout:** Take your time.
**Scout:** I've had plenty of practice waiting for bears to gather their thoughts!
**Lillian:** Heheh... I bet!
**Lillian:** (Ok, conversation's winding down, Lillian. Say something normal to end it. Nothing awkward.)
Um... catch you on the laters, okeydoke?
(Well done, Lillian.)
The next day the player receives a letter from Lillian in the mail with an origami mouse attached.

Dear Scout.
I know it may seem odd that I'm sending you a letter, but it's much easier to drop my words in a mailbox than say them out loud.
I wanted to thank you for noticing that I was hungry, and for bringing me food.
No one's done anything like that for me in a long time.
Really. Thank you.
I folded something for you. It's small. It's less than you gave me. I hope you like it anyways.
Regards,

Lillian

Lillian will also tell the player about the letter if they talk to her.

**Lillian:** ...um.
Hey, if um... if you happen to receive anything embarrassing in the mail...
Just please ignore it, ok?
### Origami mouse

Lillian is still not convinced the Scout cares about her.

**Lillian:** Um, hey, I wanted to ask you about something?
(Why are you wasting their time, Lillian? They have animals to feed, critters to catch... IMPORTANT bears to help...)
(They are not interested in you, or your little issues...)
You know what... nevermind.
You... you don't need to keep pretending to be interested in me.
The player needs to give Lillian the origami mouse she has sent them earlier to proceed.

**Lillian:** Wow. You... actually kept that little mouse I sent you?
**Scout:** Of course I did!
**Scout:** I really like papercraft. Present company included!
**Lillian:** Oh hahaha... BLUSH!
(You shouted the word 'blush' while physically blushing?? Awesome, and not weird at all...)
**Lillian:** So... that must mean you actually read my letter too...
You *do* have time for me after all.
You know what? There's something I want to ask you...
I'm just working up the courage...
Could you come back tomorrow?
Lillian rewards the player with a random decoration. This conversation also unlocks her second memory.

### Research papers

Lillian asks the Scout's help in silencing her inner voice:

**Lillian:** Ok, here goes nothing...
So um if you had the time to read my letter, maybe you have the time to give me a little advice?
**Scout:** Happily! / I can squeeze it into my schedule.
**Lillian:** It's about that voice in my head.
You know, the one I hear constantly? The one you hear too?
(Gahhh, obviously they know, Lillian! Get to the point!)
Ok yeah I will get to the point!
I want to make that voice go away!!
Do you know of any Scout magic I can use to silence the voice in my head?
**Scout:** Unfortunately, no. / I don't think that's in the Scout Handbook. / We focus more on listening, less on shutting you up...
**Lillian:** Oh ok that's too bad... but I understand.
If you find anything, please let me know.
I've tried to do some research myself... but I've just been so scattered recently...
Eight pages of research notes can be found scattered across the island. Once the player collects them and gives them to Lillian, she realises those are her own notes and rewards the player with a crafting recipe for a random decoration.

**Lillian:** Oh! You did some research on spells to silence the voice for me?
This is brilliant! So thorough and well-reasoned!
I had no idea you had such a keen analytical mind, Scout.
... oh. Wait. These... these are MY research pages, aren't they?
**Scout:** The handwriting does match the letter you sent. / You tell me! I just found them.
**Lillian:** Well... *whoever* did this research... it seems like it could be useful...
### Hungry again

Lillian is not making much progress with her research because her hunger keeps distracting her.

**Lillian:** I've been over and over the magical literature on silencing voices...
There's voice alteration magic that could make my inner monologue squeak like a helium balloon.
There's a spell that mutes me entirely in a perpetual cone of silence. (Tempting...)
I must be missing something. But it's so hard to think on an empty stomach.
(Ask the scout to get you some fries. And something to drink. They won't mind.)
Um... I hope you didn't hear that.
**Scout:** Lillian, you're a smart bear. You know I heard that. / Well I'm off get some fries and something to drink. Want any?
**Lillian:** Hahahahh... er.... Yes.
Pomme frites can be cooked at Allison's, and coffee is an item hidden on the island. Once the player brings the items to Lillian, she thanks them and rewards them with some magic hairballs.

**Lillian:** I still can't believe it.
You heard that I wanted some fries and you just... *brought them* to me.
Nobody has ever seemed to care about what I want.
And... it's hungry work, sometimes, being a ghost.
I almost believe you actually like me.
### Exciting news

Liliian has some news to share:

**Lillian:** Scout... if you have a moment I...
Well, I have some exciting news to share!
I found something stuck between the pages of an old book in the research vaults...
...an order form for a rare book called *Infernal Voices and Their Antidotes*!
(Sounds awfully convenient. I don't trust convenience.)
All I need is a few more stamps and my problems might be over!
Four postage stamps Lillian needs to mail in the order form are hidden on the island. When the player brings the stamps to Lillian, she rewards them with a recipe for a random decoration and asks to use their mailbox address.

**Lillian:** Oh you have stamps! It's so hard to find stamps when you need them...
I can place my order now! Mind if I um... maybe... use your PO Box?
**Scout:** No problem.
**Lillian:** Oh I really really do appreciate that.
**Scout:** Why?
**Lillian:** It's just, you know... Patrice is at the post office. And he always tries to say hello...
### Lillian's book

Lillian is waiting for her book to arrive:

**Lillian:** I'm... excited? Yes! I'm excited for my book to arrive!
It should be in your mailbox any day now...
The player can find the following letter in their mailbox with the book attached:

To Lillian MqQuill
Dearest Arcane Customer,

Thank you for your payment of 100,000 Coins.
In exchange, please find enclosed one of the strangest and most ludicrously obscure items in our vast collection...
Infernal Voices and Their Antidotes.
May these time-worn pages give you peace.

Mercifully,

C. W. Lambkin
Purveyor of Rarities, Nefarities, and Cryptosophistries

After bringing the book to Lillian, the player is rewarded with one random decoration.

**Lillian:** It's here! It's real and it's 4,500 pages long and it's here!!
The spell I need is in these pages... I just know it!
And you know what the best part of all is?
When I'm reading, my stupid inner voice shuts up.
You just bought me 4,500 pages of *peace and quiet.*
### A Six Step Process

Lillian has been reading the book and may have found the solution to her problem:

**Lillian:** Oh hi Scout! Sorry I didn't see you there... I've been reading.
(And reading and reading and reading)
A lot of this old book is just... nonsense. Random newspaper clippings mixed in with long, wildly optimistic rants about something called Wolfcoin?
And it reeks of coffee, for some reason??
But right here near the end is a recipe: *A Six Step Process to Silence Unwanted Voices*.
It's worth a try, right?
**Scout:** Yes it is.
**Scout:** Where did you find this book again?
**Lillian:** I used an order form that I found hidden in an old book, tucked away in a vault...
**Lillian:** ... and anything hidden away that deep must be valuable, right?
The first step is... *write down something about yourself.*
Wait, how am I supposed to do that? We don't have office supply stores in the spirit world!
**Scout:** I'll find you a pen!
**Lillian:** Th... thanks.
The pen is hidden on the island. Once the player brings it to Lillian, the reluctantly tells them a little about herself.

**Lillian:** Oh... you found a pen. And it... works. That's a... um... thanks!
(There goes your last excuse, Lillian.)
Ok, time to write something... about tiny, pointless little me...
...hmmm...
When I was little, most of the other girl bear cubs wanted to be princesses.
But not me. I wanted to be a chemist. Chemistry seemed like magic.
Ugh. I don't want to write this. Why waste words on my insignificant life?
Thinking about myself doesn't make me want to write. It makes me want to fold...
The player is rewarded with two hairballs of the great goddess and unlocks Lillian's third memory and the attached comic.

### Step two

The next step of the Six-Step Process involves some cooking.

**Lillian:** Hey...
OK.... the second step of the process is... drink a cup of beetle broth?
(Sounds way easier than writing about myself!)
Do you think Allison could brew me some beetle broth?
The beetle broth can be cooked by Allison using three rare critters and one medicinal tonic. Once the player brings the broth to Lillian, she immediately drinks it and then rewards them with ten quartz gemstones.

**Lillian:** Oh thank you! It looks... delicious?
*Ssssssipppppppp*
Oh... I think I feel something... magical... happening?
(No, Lillian. That's just indigestion.)
### Step three

Step three involves purchasing an Arcane Gastrochemistry Set.

**Lillian:** Step three of the silencing spell is... well, it's a little odd?
It says I need an 'Arcane Chemistry Set'.
There's a coupon attached.
Mail coupon with arcane chemistry set order form, and wait 3-3000 business days...
Where can I find an old, out-of-print order form?
(Use your head, Lillian... who sells things around here?)
The order form can be purchased at Kit's Canteen for 10,000. Once the player brings the form to Lillian, she is excited and rewards th player with a recipe for crafting a random decoration.

**Lillian:** You found one?!? Thank you! Wow, what are the odds??
(Given that this whole spell is probably a scam? The odds are high.)
Um... don't listen to me, Scout.
It's an ancient spell for silencing INSUFFERABLE voices. It *has* to be.
(No. It's totally a scam. I know it is.)
### The wait

Lillian decides to make some origami while she is waiting for her chemistry set to arrive and asks the Scout to help.

**Lillian:** It might be a long wait for that chemistry set, Scout.
I think I'll take up folding again in the meantime.
Do you have any more paper that I could use?
Eight sheets of blank paper can be crafted at Jeremy Gruffle's. When the player brings the paper to Lillian, she rewards them with a random rare decoration (or ten uncommon fences) and promises to make them something.

**Lillian:** Thank you! I'll make you something nice with this.
The next day Lillian tells the player about her job interview.

**Lillian:** I folded you something. For all your help so far.
I know it isn't much... but...
Well, remember how I told you about my childhood dream?
**Scout:** I remember.
**Scout:** You wanted to be a chemist, right?
**Lillian:** I can't believe you actually remembered!
**Lillian:** I studied and studied in school. I learned chemical formulas inside and out.
And after school, I worked up the nerve to apply for a job.
I had answers for all the interview questions about ionic compounds and protein synthesis....
But there were so many questions about *me*. And I'm not good at talking about myself.
I needed to do something with my nervous energy, so I folded some paper while I was speaking.
When the interview was over, I left that folded paper behind on my chair.
In the offer letter, they mentioned that they were impressed by my knowledge... and my origami.
That was the first time that I remember feeling proud of myself.
This conversation unlocks Lillian's fourth memory and its attached comic.

### Gastrochemistry set

Lillian is still waiting for her Gastrochemistry Set.

**Lillian:** Oh, don't mind me...
I'm just waiting for the gastrochemistry set to arrive, so I can continue the Silencing Spell.
(Scam. It's a scam. There is no set.)
The set can be found in the player's mailbox attached to the following letter:

To Lillian McQuill
Dearest Customer,

You are in luck! We have decided to honor your centuries-old coupon. You are now the proud owner of the last Arcane Gastrochemistry Set in our stock.

By reading this letter and taking its contents, you relinquish your right to all refunds, exchanges or legal remedies. Good day!

The player needs to deliver the set to Lillian to complete the quest and get some hairballs as a reward. Lillian is very excited.

**Lillian:** Oh, it finally arrived!
It has that new-equipment smell. Cardboard dust and rubbing alcohol.
That was always my favorite smell.
(Your favorite? What about fresh baked coffee cake?)
OK, pastries were a close second. But this was my first love... the smell of potential.
### Spirit essences

With the gastrochemistry set, Lillian wants to continue her work on the spell.

**Lillian:** Oh hey there, Scout!
We have our gastrochemistry set... so this is where the fun starts!
According to this book, we're ready to start making a *Crystalline Foam of the Void*.
(That sounds WAY beyond my skill level.)
No... I can do this! I know it!
*Step four: Mix together your supernatural flavors. Form a paste of imp, bird, and rodent essence.*
Umm... sounds fun?
Lillian needs ten of rodent, bird, and imp spirit essences. Once the player delivers the essences to Lillian, she thanks them and gives them a crafting recipe for a random decoration.

**Lillian:** Oh, you're so good at finding things, Scout! Thank you for these essences.
Now it's my turn.
It looks like it'll take at least a day of mixing, whipping and folding before we can continue the spell.
### Lecithin noir

Lillian needs some ingredients for the next step.

**Lillian:** We're nearing the end of the recipe... I mean spell... I mean...?
**Scout:** It's really more of a recipe. / Don't undersell it. It's a spell! / Cooking, witchcraft, what's the difference?
**Lillian:** Right!
So, next I need to make something called 'Lecithin Noir.'
Can I leave the ingredient list with you?
One kimchi and one fancy flan can be cooked at Allison's, and five relic ashes can be obtained by burning relics. Once all items are brought to Lillian, she rewards the player with 1,000.

**Lillian:** That's everything we need for lecithin noir!
This will be our psychic stabilizing agent.
We've worked so hard at this, Scout...
Soon enough, we're going to get a taste of real magic!
### Tragic memory

Lillian has reached the final step of her spell.

**Lillian:** Oh... uh... hi...
**Scout:** What's wrong?
**Scout:** Oh no, you're mumbling again!
**Lillian:** Umm ha... hahah... yeah...
**Lillian:** I've read this final step of the *Six Step Process* about fifty times.
*Emulsify with a tragic memory.*
Tragedy requires contrast. Highs to offset the lows. But my life was boring...
(You're lying. You have the perfect emulsifier.)
I... um... bluuuugh... no I don't...
(What about the Special Teams?)
Oh haha... that story's barely worth telling...
**Scout:** Don't undersell yourself, Lillian. / Everyone matters, including you.
**Lillian:** OK... I guess I could write it down...
I just need some more paper and a pen...
Four pieces of blank paper can be crafted by Jeremy Gruffle, and the pen is hidden on the island. Once the items are brought to Lillian, she gives them a decoration and promises to write her memory and mail it to the Scout.

**Lillian:** Thanks. I'll write down my memory, seal it up, and send it to you when it's ready.
Maybe that will complete the spell.
(Don't get your hopes up.)
### Folded note

Lillian tells the player she has sent them something in the mail.

**Lillian:** I put my boring letter in the mail.
So... I guess we're done?
(No, we're not done.)
The item Lillian asks for is attached to her letter in the player's mailbox. (If the player does not receive Lillian's letter on the day they get this quest, the letter should arrive the next day). The folded note is attached to the letter.

Dear Scout
I was working at a biochemistry lab, where proteins were analyzed and synthesized.
And this little voice inside me kept saying *there must be a better way to model the protein-folding problems*.
(Ugh, I know you're not interested in this. I'll skip the boring details.)
Anyways I wrote up a proposal for a new folding model.
I worked really hard, and I was really nervous about it.
But I did it. And so I got assigned to a Special Team.
...Here. I wrote all about it.

Once the player brings Lillian the folded note, she is surprised.

**Lillian:** What?? Where did you get that note?
**Scout:** It was tucked away in the envelope with your letter.
**Lillian:** I'm... I'm not sure what it says. It's hard to read.
(*It's not hard. It says 'finish the story.'* )
The way this note is folded... it's so familiar...
The player receives some hairballs as a reward.

### Special teams note

Lillian asks the Scout to check their mailbox for another letter.

**Lillian:** I wrote you another letter, Scout.
But I cut it short. The end is a little...
(...repressed?)
...hazy.
The special teams note can be found attached to Lillian's letter in the mailbox.

Dear Scout
Hi Scout,

I wasn't entirely honest about how my last story ended.
That protein-folding proposal... I put everything I had into it.
The more I thought about it, the more I knew that it could change the course of our research.
Somehow I worked up the courage to slip it under my supervisor's door.
A week passed. I was dying of curiosity.
So one day I knocked on my supervisor's door and asked him, in my smallest voice, if he'd read my paper.
He smiled. He said he had read it, and he was so impressed he was putting me on a 'Special Team.'
He scribbled something down, folded it in half, and handed it to me.

Lillian recognizes the note immediately.

**Lillian:** This... this is the note my supervisor passed me! I'd know it anywhere.
I was so proud when he told me that he was putting me on a Special Team.
Finally, my hard work and ideas were getting me somewhere!
I couldn't wait. I opened up his note right in front of him.
It... was his *coffee order.*
'You're on the special caffeination team. The whole office depends on you! Think you can handle that?'
He said it loudly. I heard chuckles from around the office.
Maybe I said 'yes.' Maybe I didn't say anything. I can't remember.
(I remember. Like it was yesterday. I folded the paper in half again and said 'thank you.')
(And in that moment, I became smaller.)
The player receives a random crafting recipe as a reward and unlocks Lillian's fifth memory.

### Coffee order

Lillian is finally ready to tackle that coffee order.

**Lillian:** The sixth step isn't finished yet.
The essence and lecithin I collected are beginning to bubble.
But to fully *emulsify the mixture with tragedy*... I need to complete the process.
So... it's time to tackle that coffee order.
Six cups of coffee can be found hidden on the island. Once the player collects them and gives them to Lillian, she tells the player the rest of her tragic memory and rewards them with a crafting recipe for a random decoration.

**Lillian:** Ah... coffee. The smell brings back memories.
After my supervisor put me on the 'special caffeination team,' I walked out of the office.
I thought about leaving and never coming back.
I pictured the rest of the team, laughing at my proposal behind my back.
How presumptuous I was, to propose an entirely new lab process in just my first year on the job!
(Maybe the 'Special Team' was where I belonged?)
In the end, I got my supervisor and his teammates their coffee.
I passed away decades later. I had a long life.
But that was the moment the little voice in my head started questioning my every move.
In a way, that was the day I really died.
The next day Lillian tells the player the potion is ready.

**Lillian:** That tragic memory did the trick, Scout.
Last night, the mixture bubbled and churned and formed the *Crystalline Foam of the Void*.
So... should I drink it?
**Scout:** You've come this far. Do it.
**Scout:** Are you sure this is what you want, Lillian?
**Lillian:** (NOT sure! Never sure of anything!!)
(You're useless, Lillian!)
No. That's it. I've had enough.
**Lillian:** Down the hatch.
*Sluuurrrpppppppppp*
(...)
(...)
Oh. Oh my! It worked! The voice is gone!
(...)
Thank you, Scout!!
### Thank you letters

Lilian is working on thank you letters for and asks the player to bring her more paper.

**Lillian:** Hi Scout. Hey. Hi. Hello.
Oh, it's really very nice, not being scolded by my inner voice for my awkward greetings!
**Scout:** It's always lovely to see you, Lillian. / Congratulations, you are free to be awkward!
**Lillian:** Today I'm working on thank you letters. For all the wonderful people and spirits who solved my problems for me.
**Scout:** Whoa whoa whoa. No one solved your problems for you. / Don't you think you deserve a little bit of the credit?
**Lillian:** Oh, dear, what a delightful but improbable notion!
You did most of the work! Gathering all the ingredients.
And who can forget the author of the *Infernal Voices* book, of course!
Then there's Mr. Kit, and the bookseller...
Oh, I have so many people to thank! I need quite a lot of paper...
The player can craft blank paper at Jeremy Gruffle's shop with ten softwood and three relic ash per sheet (80 softwood and 24 relic ashes for all eight sheets). Lillian rewards the player with some hairballs for the paper and tells them more about her thank you letters.

**Lillian:** Thank you, Scout! Eight sheets is hardly enough to thank everyone responsible for my transformation.
Good thing I have all of eternity to write these notes.
**Scout:** Lillian... you don't need to do that. / I don't know how many more paper-fetching quests I can take.
**Lillian:** Oh, it's easy! I'm accustomed to menial tasks.
I may have started as a scientist, but eventually I realized I have what my manager called a *secretarial disposition*.
I stocked the copier, cleaned the kitchen, and planned birthday parties for people I loathed.
The part of me that felt wronged? Like I deserved better? I pushed it down. Way down.
For the hour between noon and 1:00pm I would sit at my desk alone, nibbling on a pastry, and I would fold paper into shapes.
That was the most peaceful hour of my day, every day.
The next day the player receives a thank you letter from Lillian.

Dear Scout
Hi Scout,

In case it's not obvious, I'm eternally grateful for all your help.
I wish I had your brilliance. I wish I had your initiative. I wish I could repay you for silencing that terrible inner voice... but honestly, what could I do that you couldn't do yourself?
Here's how I'll honor you: every day, I'll fold a piece of paper, and fold, and fold, and fold.
And when the paper is folded as small as it can possibly be, I'll say to myself:
*That's all you are, Lillian.*
*If you have any shape at all, it's because of the greatness and generosity of the Scout.*

Thank you thank you thank you,
Lillian

The player will also receive a letter from Clyde for the next quest.

### Confession

Lillian wants to theank the author of the book that helped her so much.

**Lillian:** If only I could go back to ancient times and thank the sorcerer who dreamed up that spell and silenced my inner voice!
I'd happily become their magical intern. I'd fetch them as much coffee as they want!
**Scout:** Lillian... you hate fetching coffee!
**Lillian:** Well, yes, I do... but it's the one thing I'm good at.
**Scout:** You're the one who worked the magic, Lillian.
**Lillian:** Oh, no... I was just following instructions. I didn't contribute anything important.
**Lillian:** Still, there's a question that keeps nibbling at the corner of my mind...
*Where did that spellbook come from?*
The answer to Lillian's question can be found in the player's mailbox, attached to a letter from Clyde Wallace.

Wolf Inc Proprietary Message
Hey there kid, it's Clyde

Long time no chit-chat. I'm gonna cut to the chase. You know that book Lillian's been carrying around?
Well, that's not exactly an ancient tome.
It's more like a bunch of my old journals, bound in couch leather, aged with coffee and re-targeted to a new demographic.
I know, you're not really supposed to meddle in bearside affairs when you've reached executive-level enlightenment.
But I have a soft spot for misunderstood geniuses, and that mousey little ghost needs an assist. So I bent the rules.
Did my scheme go off the rails a bit? Well, every good scheme goes a little off the rails.
So it's time for some course-correction. I've attached a full confession to this letter. Give it to Lillian when the time is right, would ya?

Buy low sell high,
C.W.

The player needs to bring Clyde's note to Lillian to proceed.

**Lillian:** What's this?
**Scout:** It's a note from Clyde Wallace. / You should see for yourself.
**Lillian:** Oh... so I... oh. Oh no. Oh my.
There was no spell. I conjured up the mother of all placebo effects.
What a nightmare. (Lillian.)
I was completely taken in. I really am just as empty-headed as everyone said. *(Lillian!)*
For a second, I really believed I could fix myself... excuse me while I curl up and die of embarrassment. **(LILLIAN!!!)**
WHAT?!?!
(There's another way to look at this.)
(You DID change yourself. You just needed a little nudge from someone who cared.)
Oh...
(Your whole life, people cut you down.)
(Look what you accomplished with just the slightest bit of support.)
Oh.
The player receives ten quartz gemstones as a reward and unlocks Lillian's sixth memory.

### Thanking Clyde

Lillian needs the player's help with the idea she has to thank Clyde.

**Lillian:** You know what? I really need to thank Clyde Wallace.
**Scout:** For conning you with the Hoaxinomicon? / PLEASE do not encourage any more Wolfish shenanigans.
**Lillian:** Even if it was all lies, his book did help me.
So, I've decided to put that book to use one more time.First, I'm ripping the pages out.
Next, I'm permanently folding them up.
I know what I want the end result to be.
All I need is a bit of glue to finish this project.
A bottle of glue can be found hidden on the island. Once the player brings it to Lillian, she rewards them with a random decoration and asks to visit her tomorrow to see what she makes.

**Lillian:** Ah, good old polyvinyl acetate.
Folding is wonderful, but sometimes you need a little adhesive to bring things together.
The two final ingredients in this special spell of my own? Effort and time.
Come back tomorrow and I'll show you what I've conjured up.
### Finished project

The next day Lillian asks the player to place the sculpture she has made.

**Lillian:** I've finished my project.... and it's beautiful.
**Scout:** Gasp! Did you just... give yourself a compliment???
**Lillian:** I did... and to answer your inevitable follow-up, yes, it did feel weird.
**Scout:** What did you make?
**Lillian:** It's... well, it's a little hard to explain.
**Lillian:** I'm giving this to you.
Would you mind finding a place for it?
The player needs to place the sculpture anywhere on the island and return to Lillian to proceed. Lillian gives the player some hairballs as a rewards and tells them about the sculpture.

**Lillian:** So? What do you think?
**Scout:** It's definitely not what I expected.
**Lillian:** I know... but I needed to face my feelings head-on.
**Scout:** It kinda looks like a monument to your insecurities...
**Lillian:** You know, I thought the same thing at first.
But a little voice inside me spoke up, and it made an interesting point.
It said: *You've been carrying these fears around for so long.*
*Better to put them out there than keep them in here.*
**Lillian:** So there they are. The bears who laughed at and belittled me.
Their opinions all seemed so important... so *substantial*.
I was so afraid of their judgments that I pre-judged myself.
But now I know. *They were like paper.* Thin. Fragile.
They puffed themselves up, knowing deep down that a stiff wind could blow them away.
I spent my life submissive to and afraid of bears like them.
But maybe... maybe they should have been afraid of me instead.
This conversation unlocks Lillan's final memory.

### A little more paper

Lilian asks the player to fetch her more plank paper one last time.

**Lillian:** Hi Scout. I'm in the mood for some *folding* today.
Could you find me a little paper?
I promise, I'll make it worth your while.
The player can craft blank paper at Jeremy Gruffle's shop with ten softwood and three relic ash. Once the player brings the paper to Lillian, she folds them something.

**Lillian:** Is there anything as beautiful as a blank piece of paper?
A crease here, a twist there, and that little sheet of carbon comes alive.
There are so many potential shapes in a blank page.
So many possibilities.
I wonder what I can turn this one into, if I just give myself the chance?
Maybe something that can help you remember me. The *real* me.
Here. It's yours.
Whether you like it or not, I'm proud of it.
With these words, Lillian gives the player an origami sculpture and then ascends and turns golden. Her area will stay permanently lit and colored. She will no longer give the player story quests; however, she will still occasionally give the player daily quests.
