Stewart's Guide for Junior Sprouts
Hey there! It's me, Stewart. Just checking in to show you around. I know it can be a bit scary, being new here at the agency and all. Heck, it can still be scary even after you've been here for years and years. Sometimes, you need a person to turn to. A place to go to figure things out so you don't have to do it all on your own. That's what this guide is. Something I wish I had when I started here. Something that would be good for me to have now. But I do have it now, and you have it, too. This webpage is a sort of guide. A compilation of all the helpful little tips and tricks and knowledge bits I’ve gathered over time for you to reference whenever you’d like.
Now, this guide doesn’t have everything. That’s because I don’t know everything! But, whatever I don't know, we can figure out together! Or, if there's something you already know, be sure to leave it in the comments! Maybe I forgot to include it, or maybe I don't know it at all! It's great to lend a helping hand. Your comments can assist others who may be looking for things, so keep helping out and keep being kind! And if you need anything yourself, you can reach out without hesitation. See ya round! Princely out.
Is that a thing? Heheh. I mean, gOoDbYe! Ahem bye. Sorry....!

People
There are so many cool people you will meet around Jack Pine Tower and other locations once you've officially joined the W.I.L.L.O.W.I.S.P. agency. A lot of these people are cool to talk to. Some are good to avoid. But usually, every encounter can become a learning experience. And, hey! You might make a new friend along the way.
Below are a few people you should look out for...
Below are a few people you should look out for...
This guy is the best of the best. If you see him anywhere, absolutely STOP whatever you’re doing and give him your full, undivided attention. You can try to talk to him if you want, but don’t think it’s a lost opportunity if words fail you and you just end up staring at him. Savor those moments of, like, being in the same room, breathing the same air, witnessing his awesomeness, and just being in his majestic presence. You might think I’m exaggerating, but I’m totally not. In fact, all of this I’m saying right here? Complete understatement. One simply CANNOT put into words the complexity of his essence. It’s something you’ll have to experience for yourself.
Constance Harbor
Constance is, like, super cool, and she's one of my best friends. She's Someone's current Obligatory Associate. I wasn't exactly a big fan of her when I first found out about her, but the more I researched, the more I thought she seemed like an awesome person. And it was an honor to actually meet her and find out she was even cooler than the research I had done proved her to be. She has incredible fashion sense and is really smart. She's also super kind. Even if you're busy, she'll try to find time to help you. So, if you need anything, and Constance is around, she'll probably help you on your way no matter what. Or, if she can't do it herself, she'll definitely find another person who can.
Commander McCox
Commander may seem intimidating at first, but you’ll find out soon enough that he’s super friendly and kind! But I will say, maybe you should avoid him if you’ve got someplace to be, because that guy will totally talk your ear off. He goes on a lot of tangents, but I don’t mind it. Especially if I’m feeling lonely and I’m looking for a person to talk to. Like I said though, it is CRUCIAL. Absolutely CRITICAL. to avoid him LIKE THE PLAGUE if you’re in a hurry, because he WILL slow you down, like, nine thousand percent. If you see him walking the halls, make sure he’s already distracted with another conversation. Oh, and don’t walk too close, or he’ll definitely find a way to loop you in. And the other person will probably use that as their cue to escape. And then you’ll be stuck. TRUST ME. I learned this the hard way.
Rodney Carlwick
He’s just a janitor now, but he used to be an epic spy! And all sorts of other things here at the agency. His files in the database are kinda wonky and hidden and stuff, but I think that’s just because of how confidential his projects were. If you wanna know cool stuff, just ask him directly. He shares all sorts of epic stories!
Bruce Machete
He's okay, I guess. I mean, he can be cool sometimes. He's part of the tactical military team and stuff. so that's pretty epic. But, he doesn't really like Someone. He used to be Someone's Obligatory Associate before Constance, but it didn't work out. So if he tries to talk bad about Someone, just ignore whatever he says. Otherwise, he's pretty cool. Except when he's trying to get Someone fired from the company. Then, he's being a complete loser.
Kathy Grace
She doesn't talk much, but she's usually at the front desk. Sometimes, she goes down to the Lacewing department, but sometimes, she just sits there as a receptionist up here on the main floors. She might seem like she's annoyed by you, but that's just how she is. She just nods her head and says 'mmhmm', so it's good to see her when you want a person to listen.
Places
There are too many places around here. I'll link some below, but you can check the other categories for specifics.
Things
There are a lot of cool gadgets and stuff you have access to. I tried to link something but I got flagged. I will find a workaround fix later. Sorry!
Shopping
There are a lot of cool places to go shopping. Trinkets, snacks, food, and everything. You don't even really have to buy grocery groceries, but if you want to, there are some stores nearby in the city. If you want clothes, though, I recommend you visit the Dressers. You can get a COMPLETE MAKEOVER. Oh, and you can also order stuff from the internal online shop. They have some neat stuff on there, and they take credits from your keycard.
Headquarters
The main place you're going to be running errands and stuff around is Jack Pine
Getting Around
Here in Bethesda, Maryland, we're kinda close to the capital. There are a lot of rentable bikes and scooters and stuff you can zip around on in the city. The company also has some personal ones you can rent with your keycards. There are even segues! I would advise you to be careful if you don't know how to ride one, because damaging one will give you a suspension. Don't ask how I know that...
Anyways, there are also shuttles and stuff to zip around to different classes and missions if you need them. These run on a schedule and are free of charge, so long as you show your badge.

Lodging
As a Junior Sprout, you're probably going to be staying in the Greenhouse.
Must-See
There are some great halls lined with pictures of agents from times past. There are also monuments with the names of greats who supposedly helped found the organization. We still don't know who exactly is at the top right now, but maybe if we stare at these monuments long enough, something will click. I had planned on drawing a map of where you can find these clues--I mean monuments--throughout the grounds, but I didn't get time yet. Too busy studying for my upcoming test! I'll try to get to it later. Promise.
Food & Drink
There's no shortage of food and drink around here! In headquarters and in the dorms, there are vending machines on every floor. Your keycards come with a monthly snack allotment, so you don't even have to use your own money! And there are also lunchrooms. Most of these have little baskets of snacks sitting on the counter, some treats in the fridge and cabinets and stuff, too. Just be sure whatever you grab doesn't have another agent's name on it. Then, you might be in trouble for stealing their lunch.
Oh. Here's a good tip though. If you look for those Junior Sprout logos, you can find the cool Sprout lunchrooms that are better, in my opinion, than the boring corporate ones. These are cool and usually have beanbags and TVs and games and snacks and stuff for everyone. Kinda like the hangout rooms in the Greenhouse. But they're in Jack Pine. Pretty neat, huh?

Fun & Stuff
There are so many places where you can have fun. Look out for signs with the Junior Sprout logo. There are libraries, arcades, and more. There's also a map. I drew one, but it got messed up, so I will have to reupload it later. Sorry!
Info
If you need any other information that isn't found here, be sure to search the database. Just don't go into any files that are marked confidential. Rule of thumb is, if you need to hack something to find out something, you probably shouldn't be trying to find that out. Now, I'll say that I sometimes get some inside deets, and I sometimes share them with you. If you heard it from me, it's good. But I don't think you should risk getting it yourself. If you want to know something, reach out to me! I might be able to help.
IMPORTANT
Okay, so the main IMPORTANT thing for you to know about this company as a whole is that it is a spy agency. Please, by all means, don't go poking your nose where it doesn't belong. Bad things can happen. If a Higher-Up tells you to leave something alone, LEAVE. IT. ALONE. There are lots of rumors about people getting Erased and going missing. I don't want you to become one of those legends. That's, like, totally not a cool kind of legend to be. So be careful, okay? Other than that, you're fine! Have fun!

Stewart Princely
Hiii! My name is Stewart Princely. You may know me, but if you don't, allow me to introduce myself. I am a Junior Sprout and Introductory Intern here at WILLOWISP. I always know a lot about everything, and if I don't know something, I like to figure it out. And I love to share what I learn with others. So when I thought about all this stuff, I figured I shouldn't keep it to myself. I decided to put it into a site where you can see everything in one place.
This site is in no way done. It never will be. I'll always be updating it, and you can, too! Just be sure to leave comments about stuff I should add, and we'll all help to make this a great resource for others who need a little help and direction navigating this mysteriously wonderful world we've all found ourselves in.
Thanks for checking it out! I appreciate all your contributions. If you see me anywhere, don't be scared to come say hi. Some people try to avoid me. If you wanna avoid me, that's okay too. But I love to meet new friends. So don't be a stranger! Unless you want to be...but...yeah...
