Babette's Item Drive
Ahoy, mateys! Some o' ye may 'ave noticed lately that I 'ave been packin' a little extra treasure in me booty. Well, I’m here t' tell ye that as much as I love me grub AND me rotund body, me 'n Angrybeard are actually expectin' a wee pirate cub.
Ye can hold back th' congratulations, I don't wants ye all natterin' at me at once. It weren’t exactly th' biggest challenge I’ve faced in life - I used t' sail th' seas meself once upon a time, 'n got into plenty o' fights! How do ye reckon Angrybeard 'n I met?
Anyway, wha' I’m here fer today be t' ask fer yer help in a wee project I been thinkin' about - a site wide treasur....I mean item drive! It must be me hormones, 'cause I’m feelin' a mite charitable. I’m lucky enough t' 'ave me inn 'n me mateys around me…and sometimes Angrybeard, but plenty o' families in Subeta don’t be so lucky. So I’m thinkin' we go collectin' together as many items as we can, 'n I can be setting up a donation fer Charity t' sort out as she will. I reckon t' make it a wee more fun - we'll only accept th' items that 'ave a color in thar name - 'n th' color that gets donated th' most will be th' color I’ll potion me cub!
Come visit me t' donate yer items - or check if yer items are acceptable. We be acceptin' R1-199 so thar be a lot o' things that we’ll take! I expect we'll end this once I'm done…expectin'. It's gonna happen soon, I predict about a week from now! I'll end th' drive when it’s time, nae like I needs t' rest or anythin'. 'n no, thar are no item prizes fer takin' part. It’s fer charity! I suppose I can throw in a forum title fer participatin'.
Now wha' are ye stiill doin' here?
Translation: Hello, friends! Some of you MIGHT have noticed lately that I may have put on a little weight. Which I’m fine with! I’m here to confirm that I actually am pregnant! Angrybeard and I are very happy about it.
It’s ok, I don’t need your congratulations! It’s really not a big thing. I’ve done things like sail the seas and fought in great battles - this is easy by comparison!
Anyway - what I’m here for today is to ask you fine people in a little project I’ve been contemplating - a site wide item drive! I think my hormones are making me feel a little charitable. I’m lucky enough to have a business of my own and my family and friends around me, but there are many families in Subeta that aren’t so lucky. So I was thinking that we could collect together as many items as we can to put together as a donation for Charity to pass on! To put a little fun spin on it, we’ll just collect items with colors in their names, and the color that gets donated the most will be the color I’ll potion my cub!
Come visit me to donate your items - or check if your items are acceptable. I'm accepting R1-199 items so there’s a lot of things that I’ll take! I plan to run this Item Drive up until my cub arrives, which I feel will be about a week from now! There are no item prizes for giving items as it’s for charity, but I will be able to throw in a forum title for participators.
Now, off to donate items!

@Amber But all the items I listed have a pet color in the name...why wouldn't they be accepted? Is it basic colors only (ROY G BIV + brown/white/black/gold/silver?) The news post and the donation page don't mention anything about Glacier/Spectrum/Galactic type pet colors not being accepted. I'm just a little confused :
This is so cute!! I'm sure they'll be adorable no matter what color they turn out to be. (Although a total items donated bar to let us know which color is winning would be cool too) :)
I'm just happy to have a good reason to clean some items out of my Vault (: Can't wait to see the little one!
Aww, I thought this was cute even with little/no prizes (though no way I'm dumping massive amounts over that, but still) until I saw BEST COLOR not accepted :c Burgundy for the win. Burgundy potion y/y? Seriously though, the rarities are already stacked against it, if it did win that's totes reasonable :p
Also, I presume this is colorfill only? So no Angelic or GY item either (they're subeta/potion 'colors' but I still figure not included). Just double checking, because Reborn Triplets on a wooden ship might just be worth pushing for for the comedic value alone c:<

@kbbob That doesn’t really fit in with Babette, though. A simply poll? Ha! Tbh you’d think she’d keep some of this loot people are donating. :x
(also this is a bit like spring cleaning / getting rid of unwanted items you might have, RECYCLE YOUR ITEMS TO BARBETTE SO HER AND CHARITY CAN GIVE THEM OUT etcetc)

cubS? So there will be more than one? Will they all be the same color? Or will it be firstborn is the winning color, second born is second place, etc...

No. Everything in the known subetaverse should be a competition. Errthang. I demand tiers that proclaim my victory as top donator in the baby war, and also all the things as a reward. Yay. c:
Lol it's all good. This is adorable! Maybe there will be more than one cub. Hmm. Possibilities. And yeah, fragmentizer-style donating options would be great. (Even if there's a 10 item at a time limit or something to cut down on server drag.)

There's less stingy people complaining about lack of rewards in the comments than I expected, and more of the ones who actually enjoy the chance to contribute with the lore in a simple manner, I'm both surprised and pleased :b
Great little event, by the way, I'm cheering for a dawn or cherry baby, because that'd be adorable!

@Sunfire103
which holiday items? they need to have a color in their name for you to be able to donate them =)

Seems to have only taken half of "Holiday Items" (175) Even though they were from the same Holiday/Event
Only donating 1 item at a time. That's a little frustrating, we got spoiled with fragment all... etc

This is so adorable!
I would give Babette (and Angrybeard) a hug but I guess she would pet me in the head and then shoo me away.

I don't understand the point of this. I understand staff wants items off site... but no achievements? A title that is for all participants so you only have to donate a single item to get it? I understand not adding more items to the site as that would defeat the purpose, but there should definitely at least be tiers.
haha I find it funny we can donate 'non' subeta potion colors(ie blue, red, etc) instead of just things with glade, bloodred, dusk, lilac, etc ..I guess I'm in a mood to be mean like that :P
Our dear Babette and Angrybeard
May we now celebrate
Small paws upon this happy day
It has been worth the wait!
It's very brave of you good folks
To let us potion-choose
So, off we head to give our goods
And share the joyful news!
:)
The only thing I'd like apart from the title is a little trophy saying how many items I donated.

She would have taken a white acorn but I didn't have it in my wardrobe yet and really wanted that little albino squirrel. No go with the Nuclear rave fish... and a nuclear cub would have been soooo cute!
This made me realize how much I miss the story events with riddles and games and prizes. I hope there is one soooon.
Thanks for the translation. I like that there is an in character one as well.
I donated a few items, I hope that's enough for the forum title.
