Dialogue[]

(First interaction): Professor Owl: Hoot hoot... These playful children, they've all gone missing.; Professor Owl: What a headache, hoot.; What happened?; Professor Owl: Hoot hoot... I've never seen you before. Are you a new transfer student?; Professor Owl: My apologies, I'm in a bit of trouble here — I won't be able to help you handle your admission process right now.; Professor Owl: Today was supposed to be Paperfold Woods's final exam day, but once those children heard about the exam, they all fled without a trace while I wasn't looking, hoot hoot!; Final exam?; Professor Owl: Hoot hoot, I advocate in learning through play, so the children study through games and practical tasks. As the birds grow, I will slowly add stringent educational methods like textbook tests.; Professor Owl: But these lil' fellas inherently yearn for freedom, and protest these tests — an evil presence they deem alien in the Dreamville, hoot.; Professor Owl: I just got done searching for a round — they turn tail and fly away the moment they see me. These old wings of mine are no match for them in speed... Not only is my back sore now, I didn't even manage to retrieve a little birdie, hoot.; Professor Owl: But, hoot hoot... New student, I see you're quick on your feet, and you're affable — the new birds will surely trust you. How about helping me out?; This is my specialty.; Just let me know what you need.; Count me in. Exams are a major event in a bird's life.; Professor Owl: Hoot hoot, such a helpful student! Well then, look for those mischievous children in my stead, and pass along a message: When exams are over, this old bird will take them to the town and buy tasty Dreamy Cones! Pinky promise, hoot!; Professor Owl: I will stay here and wait for the returning birds. I'm leaving the search to you! This old bird will surely repay you lavishly, hoot.

Professor Owl: Hoot hoot... Slow does it, and there's no rush. I will wait for all the children to return before starting the exam.

About yourself...

Professor Owl: I am Professor Owl. I helped a group of amazing friends build Dreamville, hoot.

Professor Owl: ...But, that was many, many years ago. I am now the origami birds' teacher. A bird's energy and spirit do whittle eventually — we must entrust the skies of tomorrow to the next generation, hoot.

About Paperfold Woods...

Professor Owl: Hoot hoot! Paperfold Woods is this old bird's proudest creation, hoot!

Professor Owl: It is a teacher's duty to plant the seeds of dreams for the children — from the inaugural building block class to the subsequent music note classes and Gold Coin Classes. I hope that every bird will be able to find their own beautiful dream, hoot.

What about your apprentices...

I need a few hints.

(If a hint is available)

Professor Owl: Hoot hoot... The mind gets hazier with age.

Professor Owl: If I could imbibe a magic coin, I could probably recall more details, hoot.

(Take out an Aideen Coin)

(Submit Aideen Tokens ×1): Professor Owl: Hoot hoot! There are indeed hidden talents among new students.; Professor Owl augustly takes the token from you with his beak, and then... swallows it!; Professor Owl: *cough* Truly a bitter medicine.
