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!

In terms of the forum title, is there a minimum amount of items needed? I'd rather not donate 100 items and then find out I had to donate 105
I also have contributed to the green cause. Enlightening the cubs with green potions sounds like a plan. >.>
dumps dozens of green items that I got from Celebration Gift while vending for food on Babette's doorstep here, hope you wanted a green cub
Oooh, I thought I was on #teamaqua, but now I'm thinking white would be cute... #TeamAlbino ?
Alright so pretty much a 'donate one item and win' event. Got it, Looks like I'm done already then :joy:
@Cerex Aha yes indeed. Although I bet it's actually what kbbob said which is also somewhat funny too.
@Cerex Hmm I guess it the name doesn't have to particuarly be related to the color, but that mug is very close to "Cherry" color so I assume it will count towards a Cherry colored vote.
@canebrake I agree with A donate all button yes, but not with the idea of a nightmare cub. I really can't see how that would fit with any of the lore properly. But that's just my opinion, as "funny" as it would be, one of the common colors makes much more logical sense to me.
I'd like to humbly beg for a Donate All button.. and for Nightmare Cubs. We all know that's what they'll turn into sooner or later.
I just spent like 5 minutes translating the first part only to scroll and see a translation XD I AM SO EXCITED FOR BABY CUBS!!
@StarShadow Yeah, Glacier isn't considered a basic color. I really think she's only accepting items for basic colors and not the more special ones. Pretty much just think of all the colors that don't change the default "common" pose of the pet and those are the colors she is looking for, thusly Glacier, Reborn, Nightmare, Storm etc do not work.
@Slowerthanzero
Thanks. I bought a plushie but she won't take it, guess glacier items don't work.

@StarShadow Give her items with specific colors in their names. Those seem to work. So such as "aqua such and such", or "Blue such and such", Field, Green, Red. Things that correlate closely to the basic pet colors like Dusk, Sun, Aqua, Cherry etc seem to work. <3
Oh wow, congrats! :D But I don't know what to give her as she doesn't want anything I have... :(
I will say that this makes me a wee bit happy, the prices are going to rise on this stuff which means more profit, with so many things undervalued this is lovely for our pockets!
EEEEE, congrats Babette! Looks like we're both expecting this year! <3
Hoping there are some baby items coming out this...? ._.

@Toushiro I agree with you. that would be the cutest. I am on your bandwagon and will be exclusively donating aqua items for my "vote". <3

@Aloysius It's honestly just the forum title. :) We just want to get users involved in the lore building!
This isn't going to be one of Subetas famous "No prizes, just a forum title" and then changes to: "We changed the rules half way through, you now get a forum title, a potion matching the pet, a new pet, 500 csc, 20 subeautique invitations, a 12 month gold account medal and 60 never before released items!" is it?
Because that's what usually happens.
Is it really just a forum title? No hidden prizes, pools or strings?

How many items to get the title? Did I miss it? Or is it any amount? I'm just going to donate a ton of blue stuff. It would be cool if we could do hydrus...

@Cobaltbluetoo Burgundy doesn’t really match any of our common colors. People are able to donate blue items and dusk to count towards dusk, field and green for green, etc.
Love it except we need to add something that let's us donate everything at once instead of 1 item at a time - going through my vault and will have a lot to donate except doing it one piece at a time is too slow.
This is such a cute way to get the users input on a new npc design. xD
personally throwing in a bunch of aqua items, because pirates = seven seas = water = aqua potion.
lolol. there's my dumb train of thought.

It clearly states she'll take anything with a color in the title and a rarity of 1 to 199 yet she refused to take my 
which has a rarity of 65. What am I missing?
"Oh my gosh Babette does not want to have a Nightmare cub guys" You get what you get and you don't get upset! ha. (I also thought that it might be Carl's, since Angrybeard's gone most of the time...) Anyway, I wanted to try to make it Hydrus, but I guess that's a no-go. : P
What more appropriate color for a pirate couple than a blue-like-the-ocean child?? xD Let's push for Dusk and Aqua!!

@Marlboro @Mike @Shantal - I already 'ave enough on me plate w' Angrybeard's stink, I?'m not wantin' graveyard cubs on top o'that!
