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!

It's awfully convenient for her to have a reason to potion her cub right after it's born... does she want to hide its natural colour from Angrybeard for some reason? :O

I've already participated a bit and I may do more as the event goes on, but I am also a little bummed there are no new items. Titles can be great but I'm genuinely only attached to two or three already on site so I don't think they're a big thing for me. ;x; Still, I'm glad titles are getting attention for the people who do enjoy them. And this is so very cute anyway! A May baby!!

What if an item has TWO colors in its name? If I donate my Blue and Gold Big-Buckle Belt, will it tally for dusk or gold?

are bloodred items only getting accepted because they're red and it goes towards cherry or something, or is that a common color?

This would be more fun if graveyard/nightmare/bloodred were allowed. :P

It doesn't matter how much we gave at the end so ? Just to be sure.

Ah yes, the families of Subeta will definitely be able to benefit from the severed goat head I just donated.

Which colour should Babette's new cub be? It's in the hands of you item-drivers! Help to influence the look of an NPC and contribute to Subeta, or just get a fun new forum title ;)

- great idea! I'll see if we can make it happen.

I'm not particularly into forum titles or anything so this holds very little appeal to me; I'd rather sell the items haha

But the idea is cute!

Anyone have a hoard of nightmare , bloodred or graveyard items, cause that could make this event interesting XD.

It's the common colors, so like dusk/blue, dawn/pink, etc. :)

You should show like the percentage of each color so far, if possible. I think that would get people to donate more than needed. c:

Babette, I love your NPC avatar!

LOL gonna be so interesting to see what color this cub will be. I wish we had enough cheap pirate items to make a wee baby piratebear.

I was all excited by the idea of an item drive to shift all these unwanted items I have but then sad that we only get a title :( Sorry I know I sound stingy but I'd rather save my items and give them out to friends instead.

so if you just donate one item you get the forum title? I was hoping for tiers or something.

For a second I thought this was a Reading Drive 2.0 and I was so happy

I'm guessing Dusk. Blue items seem to be the most vended/low value items.

What counts as a color? I thought it would be only for the potions we have, but I was able to donate something with the word "black" in it but not something with "reborn" in it?

I was just thinking of how many low priced items I've seen in the shop search user shops compared to the main shops , this will definitely help! I can't wait! :)

first off: this is adorable but also the thought of potion-colouring their baby wasn't a thought that entered my mind whatsoever and initially really weirded me out
