Darice Speaking: Oh! Greetings to you! Are you new to Central City as well? You are?! My family and I are also. We are new to the country in fact. Oh my, where are my mannners?! My name is Darice Persea. And you would be? Such a pleasure to meet you, my dear! Where am I originally from, you ask? Well, I am from Persia. Now I know what you are thinking…”Persia doesn’t exist anymore”. In that case, I guess you could say I am from Iran. But you know, when I was born it was still known as Persia. It didn’t become Iran until 1935, so excuse me if I refer to my homeland as Persia! It was such a beautiful country, you know. In the Middle East, in the southwest of Asia. Pakistan and Afghanistan to the east, Turkmenistan to the northeast, the Caspian Sea in the middle north, Azerbaijan and Armenia to the northwest, Turkey and Iraq to the west, and the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea to the south! My, we were right in the middle of everything! So much culture, sometimes I do miss that my grandchildren will not be raised in the same surroundings as I. But forgive my elderly ramblings! Besides my family, the only thing I still have with me from Persia is my good friend, Camryn. She still likes to dress in the old fashion, and she has become quite the matchmaker in town. I’m sure you’ve met her.
Even though I am married, and have been since I was 18 years old, Camryn still tries to find a match for me. She never has gotten along with my husband, Phineas. It is most likely because he is from Egypt, and not Persian like we are. She has always displayed her dislike and distrust of him, but Phineas is a gentle and loving man…even if he is a bit boring. Nevertheless, I enjoy meeting new people, and have allowed Camryn to send me on dates with a few of the young men around town…and I do mean young. Not once has she set me up with someone my own age. First there was a young man (oh my, I can’t even remember his name!) who was so proud of his job. By the looks of his uniform, I would say he works for the local grocery store. Come to think of it, I do believe he’s delivered our groceries once before. Well, needless to say, we didn’t hit it off.

Ooh, I like this family, and I think it’s cool that Darice is fond of traditions. She’s a good caretaker for her lovely family, and she looks so classy.
Wonderfully-written update — all of the national details and insight of the narrator make for a very enjoyable read. I hope you’re having as much fun playing as we’re having reading your stories!
