[Turo leaned back from the shellphone propped up on a desk within the main medical facility within Cosmo Conservatory-]

Hello and good day, most of you know me as Professor Turo.

I have the pleasure to announce a project that is for the animal sanctuary known as Cosmo Conservatory, after discussing it with Nanaki of course. For those of you who might enjoy plush animals, I will be creating them resembling the various creatures that call this sanctuary home. All proceeds from them will be going straight into the upkeep of the Conservatory, and of course the creatures' care.

[Just over his shoulder popped up the head of an odd bird with a soft cry as feathers ruffled, glancing back to show there was a second -wrapped in bandages around one of the larger wings and chest area- that it was perched close to.

The one up cleared the distance at a glide, latching onto the back of Turo's coat and making it to perc on his shoulder and better showing off is size simple as that. Turo carefully lifted a hand briefly for it to 'nibble' at the side of it-]

Including these two new arrivals, and their eggs.

[The shellphone was picked up then, giving a better view of the makeshift nest the other was rested in briefly before showing off a sample collection of various plush he already made.]

The plushies will be done in the style I have tested out with these, just to allow me to create them in a timely fashion. [Picking up the very fluffy Volcarona in a hand to better show the size and, well, just how squishable it was, the creature on his shoulder preening a little of it's fluff in curiosity.] I can customize them easily as well, if that is something anyone is willing to perhaps give a little extra for.

I am happy to answer any questions about this project, or anything about Cosmo Conservatory for those curious.

[Turo had needed a bit of a break before he re-buried himself into the issues of Bugsnax, apparently-]

I also apologize if anyone has tried to reach me here, given the amount of time I have dedicated to searching for a cure in dealing with Bugsnax and further research being done on Snaxburg Isle. I will still be tending to that, alongside anyone else who wishes to combine efforts.

Have a good day, and thank you for your time.

Even when it comes to designing and creating a pattern for the first time? I would think the tailoring and sewing process involves much trial and error. I've altered garments before, and it was no simple task. Nor quick.

[ Though there might be something said for someone altering an outfit to disguise himself.

Also, he's doing all the sewing by hand. ]

[fractales]

Even then- you are making a creature of dimension and having to work it into a pattern that goes from flat panels to come together into something that can have various angles and shapes; I find it quite the fun exercise, given the numbers needed.

[Calculations that he could do in his head- and there was something so satisfying about seeing it take shape from that. Colors, textures- he enjoyed it from start to finish.]

It is a little different from altering garments, but even then there are enough similarities- more so when doing it all by hand.

[astudyinviolet]

[ ooc: Sorry for lateness. I've been ill. ]

I shall have to take your word for it. I have no intention to take on such an endeavor, though I was curious from a skill based viewpoint.

[ He has enough stuffed toys already. He... doesn't need to add more to the collection. (Spoilers: he already does obtain more.) ]

Which creatures do you need more references for? I could create a few sketches while I'm here.

[fractales]

[ooc: all good! I know how the illnes/health can hit.]

You could call it a hobby of mine then- I take enjoyment out of it, as much as I do most of my personal research. Creating something soft, rather than the potions and other inventions of mine.

[Perhaps it was also a symptom of his own homesickness, even if he didn't realize it was that exactly.]

The golden bee rabbits are a good place to start. Are there any other animals here you spend much time with? Time spent like that tends to have you notice details others miss, and it could give ideas on making each one unique; even if that comes from being handmade in and of itself.

[astudyinviolet]

[ Sherlock makes a note of Turo's suggestion in his casebook. ]

It's mostly been the golden bee rabbits which I've spent my time with, but I shall attempt to spend more time with some of the others to observe their habits.

[ But in the future there will be a 3-headed puppy that will be another subject of study (and play). ]

[fractales]

I suppose it is something I fall into naturally, given I am very used to observing various creatures as it was part of my work in my world.

[A reason he could do most of them from memory, even if with some... a memory was all he had to go by. Transferring them into a more physical medium helped somewhat with that.]

[astudyinviolet]

I see. There is a great deal of overlap in our professions though their focus differs.

[ Sherlock studies crime while Turo studies the natural world. And memory can be faulty in ways beyond forgetfulness. It is why Sherlock transfers things into a more physical medium. ]

I'll go get the black light and coax the golden bee rabbits out of hiding. The new references will be on your desk by tomorrow.

[fractales]

Indeed. Being a Pokémon Professor can mean that I have had to develop various skills, but it is all applied to trying to better the world and find new discoveries- even if mine is usually narrowed to the region I am from, it can lead to connections with other regions.

Here? It helps discovering how much is connected, along with creating things like healing potions or magitech shields.

[Things he knew applied in different ways.]

I appreciate it, and your work will be used well. Would you like me to make a golden bee rabbit plush for you?

[astudyinviolet]

[ He does not need another plush, especially when it is just a plush and contains no sleeping aid. He is an adult. He doesn't need a bunch of toys. He didn't even have as many as he does now when he was a child. ]

It is unnecessary unless you wish to give a prototype that wouldn't be fit to sell. I do not want to take away from the fundraiser nor give you additional work.

[ But he won't fight too hard if Turo decides to give him one anyways because Sherlock does spend a great deal of time studying the creatures. ]

[fractales]

[Prepare for a gift, given Turo was grateful for even this as help towards the project.]

The first one I try seems a reasonable thing to give, if you don't mind. More so if I experiment with a type of yarn that shines a bit while remaining soft.

[At least it would only shine/glitter in the light.]

[astudyinviolet]

[ He is not prepared even if stated. ]

Again, if you so wish. Good day.

[ And with that, Sherlock is going to get those references. They will be neatly placed in a folder on Turo's desk whether or not Turo is there. ]

[fractales]

Good day, and again thank you.

[They would be used well- and of course Sherlock would see for himself given the future gift.]
