Then of course there is the matter that the person(s) involved are, to the best of my knowledge, minors IRL (except for me).

This is precisely why I'd avoid anything resembling that sort of situation. Age is very difficult to prove one way or another on the 'Net. It's also been my impression as an administrator that minors are far more likely to offer or desire various forms of sexual scenarios on a MUD, and therefore the probability is higher that you're interacting sexually with a minor. (The same argument implies that you have a higher than average chance of offering unhealthy attention to someone with an obsession with rape.)

Put another way, contemplate you (or the game) receiving an email from a parent.
