Her clothing is decidedly tasteful. No chain thongs or metal bra armour for this woman, no sir! Instead, Fayre wears a full length cream robe that reaches to her knees. It’d reach past her ankles, if Fayre had her way, but that would probably be a hazard in the midst of a fight. Strips of dark red cloth border the edges of the outfit, above which is carefully stitched pink embroidery depicting curling vines and roses.

Despite her age, Darleen has been a devout lover of videogames since they came into existence. That’s right. She owned Pong, and it’s still buried somewhere in her house. So, despite being 40 years old and a mere waffle cook, most of her spare cash goes towards upgrading her computer and buying consoles or games. While generally a well-intentioned woman, Darleen loves to gossip about others whether they be friend or foe, and tends to babble on about such things until she accidentally says something offensive or plain stupid. Since she grew up in a large family with seven siblings (she was the second oldest), she’s used to babying anyone younger than her, even if the difference in age is only a month. Thus, she loves to refer to people as sonny, missy, dear, darling...she can go on for a while like that. Overall, not your typical MMORPG player, but still a skilled enough one to get by—her main pitfall in video games is forgetting to stop chatting and actually defend herself against attacking monsters.

This was the day! Finally, the day when Darleen would be able to play her brand new copy of "The World" after months of anticipation.
Well...new to her, at least. The box was a tad battered, but the CDs seemed to be clean and unscratched. Considering where she finally found the hot, newly released game, it was no wonder it might be a bit worse for wear. Of course, Darleen first tried all the usual gaming shops. No luck; she was only greeted by disgruntled employees tired of being asked if they had any of the game in stock. By chance, she had happened to stop in a small children’s toy shop on her way home from her fruitless search, to pick up a simple puzzle for her cousin’s upcoming 4th birthday.
As she moved to the bored-looking cashier to pay for her purchase, that eye-catching colour of orange flashed across Darleen’s vision. Could it be? The sought after nerd game of the season? Aye, there it was: stuck between two broken pieces of battered robot toys. It had even managed to collect some dust and grime, even though it had only been released in Darleen’s area for a couple of weeks. Wherever children play, things are bound to get dirty, it seems. She let out a muffled gasp when she confirmed the sight of "The World" game, which was just loud enough to earn her a surly glare from the cashier.
“I-Is...that for sale, missy?” She spluttered out, pointing a shaky finger towards the tantalizingly close box.
After letting out a long-suffering sigh, the teenage cashier replied in a dull, monotone voice, “If it’s got a price tag, we’ll sell it to you. Oh. And you can’t trade this game back in. It’s final sale.”
Darleen grinned, showing a flash of white teeth as she responded, “Oh, don’t worry, dear. That won’t be a problem, no way.”
The adolescent grabbed the box from the behind the counter, her grip so tough it bent the box even more than the busted toys already had, making Darleen wince. But as long as the installation CDs were alright, that was the important thing. She had briefly entertained thoughts of displaying the game box on the mantle of her fireplace, but...that might have been a little tacky anyway.
“That’ll be 89.96.”
Another wince for the high price, but Darleen still grabbed for her wallet without hesitation and counted out her bills and coins meticulously, savouring the moment of this long awaited purchase—something the customers in line behind her probably didn’t appreciate.
And now, now she was home, inserting the installation discs into her trusty desktop computer. Oh. Perhaps ‘trusty’ was not the best term to describe her ol’ computer at the moment, as Darleen came face to face with an unwelcome error message.
“WARNING! Your computer does not have the proper drivers and will be unable to play 'THE WORLD’ without serious errors. Please upgrade your video card.”
Jaw dropped, chestnut eyes snapped wide open. “No! That’s...that’s not fair!” Seemingly, her computer didn’t care one whit about her unhappy cry, for the error message boldly remained splashed across her screen. Today was going to be an expensive day. Back Darleen went to her rugged, rust-stained car and drove to one of the electronics stores she had tried earlier. The same employee she had talked to before greeted her with an exasperated glare.
“We told you. It is not. In. Stock.” He folded his arms and shifted his weight to his right side, defiantly reinforcing his firm statement.
“I know, sonny. Not what I’m here for, alright? Just give me the latest video card for my computer, an’ don’t tell me the price. Just charge it to my debit, ‘cause I don’t even want to hear it.” She slid the cold plastic across the counter towards the young man, going as far as closing her eyes as he rung it up to avoid hearing the no doubt painful price.
Now! Now was really the time! New video card installed. Drivers updated. Evil error messages gone. Finally, the 42-year-old waffle cook from Georgia could play "The World" for real.
Presented with her registration screen, Darleen smiled toothily.
“Hrm. A name. I should go by Fayre, ‘cause this whole process has been so unfair to me.” She snorted loudly at her own joke and carefully typed out the letters. She was always particular about this part; ever since she accidentally named herself ‘Layer’ instead of ‘Layre’ in an early MMORPG she had played, Darleen was cautious about naming new characters.
There. That was it. She had the game. She had a character. She had the whole "World" ahead of her.
