warcraft
The other night I was running around in World of Warcraft, and just as I was about to log out I was sent a private message from one of my Elven kinsman. "Her" name was Alyydienne (or something like that, since Elven names are ridiculous in that way).
Anyway, she needed help fighting off a band of evil tree people, and I was happy to go lend my dagger to the cause. Afterwhile we fought our way out of the forest, through a gauntlet of nasty virtual monsters. My newlyfound sidekick was handy with a bastard sword, but there was something "off" about her/him.
Eventually my mission was complete, and we parted ways. But, as I ran down the path I heard again from my Elven friend.
"thank u 4 helpin me"
"sure. no problem. best of luck" I replied.
"u r nice. thank u."
A moment later I got another message:
"how old r u?"
I pause for a moment, and then answer, "30"
"oh." was the reply - followed by:
"oh.................."
There was a long pause, I was about to write, "What?"
But, a moment later Alyydienne replied with, "i'm 10"
WTF!? Ten? It was almost midnight and there was a ten year-old running, killing monsters online, and chatting up strangers. And did I mention the kid was ten?
I wrote back, "Seems like you're doing a great job, kid. later!" and then I logged out, right there.
Jeez.

My friends and I play often. After one late-night party run through a dungeon, I wasn't giving it much thought when I asked one of the players where he/she was from. The reply? "My parents don't like me to say."
um. yeah.
