Nerva's Random Thoughts

Posted by Nerva at 06:20 PM on January 2, 2005 as a favorite post.

Nerva wondered vaguely what would the new year bring to him. The Feast of Odin was done, and Geffen was rousing itself from the two-week break it implemented. Slowly, Wizards and Sages from vacation were coming back to the Arcane Tower, lugging their bags and things.

Greetings greeted him from all sides, but Nerva ignored them as he walked the corridors, Bone Wand used as a walking stick. Due to the cold, his right knee went haywire, and he cursed himself for it. Was he growing old before his time?

He opened the door to his private quarters and stripped off his eye-studded cloak. Removing his glasses, he ran a hand through his red hair and lay down onto his bed.

"Pasukan na naman? Ay. Boring naman o."

"Ala-sais na madilim pa rin? AMP! E gano'ng oras ako naalis sa bahay e!"

"Ano kaya? Isabit ko ba itong si Patrick sa bag ko o hindi?"

"I-post ko na kaya chapter 6 ng RDoD?"

"Kelan kaya summative sa Calculus?"

"Naku, hindi pa tapos yung report ko sa Economics."

"Malapit na February. Nakapasa kaya ako sa UPCAT?"

"Paano kaya yung scholarship?"

"Nagbago na nga kaya si Daniel?"

"Kumusta na kaya yung level 65 kong Swordie? Gusto ko nang mag Knight."

"Masaya kaya ang pasko ng barkada?"

"Tumaba kaya si Perry?"

"Bilog pa rin ba si Melody?"

"Iiwan ko na ba ang pRO fanfiction?"

"Saan kaya ako kukuha ng 30m?"

"Sana absent si Mam Karen bukas."

"Sana March na."

"Bukas kaya, wala nang gagawin pag-uwi?"

"Sana kalahati ng teachers wala pa."

"Madagdagan kaya ni Yves yung story niya?"

"Tapos na siguro ni Rona yung Crown of Swords."

"Kumusta kaya si Steph?"

"Kumusta na kaya ang mga online friends ko? Maayos ba sila?"

"Bakit kaya hindi nagrereply si Kuya Yasu?"

"Magdadala ba ako ng jacket bukas?"

"Paano ito? Wala akong maalala sa mga lessons namin!"

"Baguhin ko na kaya layout ng blog ko?"

"Sana makapasa ako sa UPCAT."

"Kelan kaya mailalabas yung mga drawing ko?"

"I-remove ko na kaya ang Summons of the Sand?"

"Ayoko pang pumasok."

"Saan ko kaya dadalhin si Nerva ko sa Iris?"

"May emblem na ba guild namin?"

"Magkano kaya dadalhin kong pera bukas?"

"Ambilis a. Kahapon parang kaka-13 ko lang. Ngayon, mag se-17 na pala ako!"

"Matanda na ba ang 17?"

"Hala! Next year debut ko na! Pwede na akong bumoto!"

"Sana...maging masaya ang mga huling buwan ko sa Science..."

Slowly, he felt sleep coming over to claim him. When was the last time he'd had a sleep so refreshing, one without nightmares? He couldn't remember. Perhaps he really didn't have such sleeps. All that waited for him there was shadows and monsters.

Nerva inhaled deeply, letting the sandalwood incense in his room flood his nose and relax him. Whatever waited for him, he deserved some rest and a bit of sleep. Tomorrow, he was very likely to be without sleep again...until the summer came.

A smile curled on his lips

Random Thoughts II

Posted by Nerva at 07:02 AM on January 8, 2005 as a favorite post.

Disgruntled, Nerva made his way to his fifth class of the day. The Arcane Tower was full to bursting with new faces, with the officialization and codification of the Sage Job class. Now he truly regretted volunteering to be part of the Sage Skills Research Team; he had been pestered night and day by the kids with countless letters.

He made his way infront of the class, where twenty or so newly-raised Wizards looked up at him with fear. That was good, Nerva thought. It was well that they knew who he was in this classroom.

"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! KNIGHT NA KO! JOB 50! MWAHAHAHAHAH!"

"Kailangan ko ng Quad Bloody, Cranial, Clip of Mustle...at ano pa nga ba?"

"WAAAAAH! Nakakalito ang Elasticity!"

"Sana palitan na teacher namin sa Physics....yung may kwenta naman..."

"Sana ako uli manalo sa Reading Proficiency!"

"Magkano pa kaya baon ko?"

"Ano kayang gagawin ko mamaya?"

"I-aupdate ko pa pala yung WoT fic ko."

"30m kelangan kong maipon. Amf! Anlaki!"

"May bibili kaya ng Santa Poring Card ko?"

"Saan ko kaya sunod na ita-tank si Marwin?"

"Pumasa kaya ako sa summative sa Calculus?"

"Nakakalito yung lecheng Implicit Differentiation!"

"Mas mahirap ba ang Integral sa Differential Calculus?"

"Saan kaya ang JS namin?"

"Maging Prom Queen kaya ako (nya! kapal muks)?"

"Sana sa college, keep in touch parin ang mankind."

"Natuloy na kaya ni Yves yung istorya ni PAN?"

"Gagawa ba kami ng project? Di pa nagtetext su Mykah."

"Makabili kaya ako ng Ragnarok 8 mamaya?"

"Saan ko dadalhin si Nerva ko?"

"Nasan na kaya yung isa kong libro sa Economics?"

"Sana March na."

"Kelan kaya ipo-post ang results ng UPCAT?"

"Nakapasa kaya ako?"

"Sayang yung scholarship ko sa APC."

"Ano kayang sunod na kakainin ko?"

When Nerva proceeded to the day's lesson, he heard his students moan. He smiled inwardly to himself. What he was going to teach them today was not yet even half of what they had yet to learn.

Wizardhood was not just simply casting spells; it was also surrendering to Mathematics. And a lot of the young people today did not like that idea at all.

Troublesome Week

Posted by Nerva at 06:39 PM on January 14, 2005.

The past days had been awful, and no kidding about it. At school I've been besieged by countless demands for money, thus emptying my purse.

Photocopying here, JS Prom fees...it's enough to give me a splitting headache.

Add five tests in a row and you nearly have your disaster recipe complete.

And my report on Economics was delayed. I don't know if I should be happy or disappointed with this.

I feel so burned out...

Nerva al'Thor... RAPED. /OMG

Posted by Nerva at 07:15 PM on January 16, 2005.

AHAHAHAHHAHAHHA!

Yes, you heard that right people. I was defiled.

I was playing pRO then, in Iris server, making my way in the Magma Dungeon's second level. And then something messed up...

and

POOF!

There goes two hours of my blood and sweat. I was lying down on the sizzling ground trying to find someone to Resu me and texting at the same time, when I looked up and saw a female Dancer sitting on my Wizard.

And she went: /e4

BLAAAAAAAAARGH!

Nerva shouted, "PLEASE, NOT ME! NOT ME!"

But the Dancer enjoyed it all the more. When she stood up she even said,

"Thanks. I'll PM you after nine months and get you to Amatsu to marry me."

Math Camp

Posted by Nerva at 05:06 PM on January 22, 2005 as a favorite post.

May malaking kasiyahan sa Geffen nung araw na iyon, dahil sa naghanda ang Arcane Tower at Magic Academy ng magandang sorpresa para sa mga estudyante nila. Tinawag itong Geffen Annual Mathematics Camp. Ang camping ay tumagal ng 2 araw, kung saan into ay pinangunahan ng walong Premier at walong Unis.

Nerva: AMP naman o...sabi nila walang uuwi...ngayon ako lang mag-isa dito...may nagmumulto pa naman dito.

At bumaba si Nerva mula sa Arcane tower at pumunta sa sounds booth, kung saan nandoon ang isang Kartheine, si Benedict.

Benedict: Sir Nerva! Akala ko po uuwi kayo sa Izlude?

Nerva: Ala e. Kulang pera ko. Pero ayos lang...may damit naman ako dito.

Benedict: Totoo po ba yung istorya na tungkol don sa babaeng nakapula na dumadaan sa bintana? Nakakatakot po kasi!

Nerva: Kow, hindi totoo yon! Si Zaitun lang yon, ginu-good time kayong mga estudyante niya!

Sa darating ang isang Sage, si Tine.

Tine: Wala pa 'kong bahay...Ben, pedeng pa play ng ending song ng Flame of Recca?

Benedict: Sige, sige.

Pinatugtog ni Tine yung kanta

Tine: Master Nerva, may matutulugan na po ba kayo?

Nerva: Ewan ko kina Esal kung makukuha nila yung tent ni Andrei. Pero kapag wala...erm...

Tine Kapag dumating po yung tent ko at wala kayong matulugan, share na lang po tayo!

Nerva: Hmm...titignan ko.

At nagkwentuhan ang tatlo habang inaantay ang pag-babalik ng mga pinauwing Mage, Wiz at Sage

Benedict: Kung tutuusin po..nakakatamad na talaga. Karamihan ng tinuturo di naman kelangan sa pang araw araw na buhay...

Tine: E sabi naman sa inyo...syudad ng mga baliw ang Geffen!

Nerva: Kung akala mo kayo lang tinatamad...ba, kami rin noh!

At nagdatingan ang mga pinauwing tao

Clio: CAMPERS! Erect your TENTS!

At naglitawan ang mga tent na hinahangin. May nagliparan at may mga tumaob.

Nerva: BOMBS away! Ayon o! Fifty feet ang nilipad!

Zaitun: Asan ba kasi ang mga may ari ng mga tents na ito at hindi man lang nilagyan ng bato yung sulok? AY! HULIHIN NIYO! HULIHIN NIYO!

Esal: Wala tayong tent! Hindi kinaya ni Marius yung tent ng lolo niya - masyado raw maraming tubo!

Clio: E san tayo matutulog?

Nerva: Tikal ako. Makikitulog ako. Nyahahaha.

Habang nag se-settle down ang campers e nag-iikot si Nerva na dala ang kanyang alsa balutan.

Nerva: Tao po? Pwede po makitulog sa tent niyo? Tao po? Heller?

Tine: Master Nerva! Share na lang tayo! Si Orenshi lang kasama ko dito!

Nerva: Ay sige! Yay! May matutulugan na ko!

Tapos magtayo ng tents ay pinalibot ang campers sa bonfire

Mage 1: AY! LOOK AT THE FIREBALL! IT'S SO BIG!

Mage 2: EEEE! ILAG! AY! YUNG TENT KOH! YUNG TENT KOH!!!!!! 0.o;;

Andrei: OKAY CAMPERS! WELCOME TO GEFFEN'S MATH CAMP! yadda yadda...

At nagkaroon ng mga activities. May nagsayaw ng Tsokolate at Chupeta.

Nerva: Hmp, basta ako, magtututbras na ko. Inaantok na ko.

At nagsipilyo nga si Nerva at nagtago na sa tent, bagaman pinaghahanap siya dahil isa siya sa mga emcee.

Orenshi: Ay! Ahihihihi...ang aga naman nating mahiga!

Nerva: Ayos lang yan. Wala na 'kong paki sa kanila sa labas.

At sinubukan ng dalawa na matulog. Pero talagang maingay sa labas e. Nakakatulig ng tenga. Siguradong alam niyo yung pakiramdam kung saan antok na antok ka na...na patulog ka na, pero lagi ka na lang nagigising sa huling saglit dahil sa mga linsiyak na nagtitilian sa labas ng tent ninyo. At hindi pa sila kuntento roon! Nayuyugyog ang tent na parang may lindol dahil paroo't parito ang mga tao, at hindi man lang tumitingin sa dinadaanan nila!

Zaitun: OKAY CAMPERS! BREAK YOUR EGGS! ESTE, BREAK YOUR PLAYS PALA! LIGHTS OFF NA EKSAKTONG ELEVEN, OKAY?!?!

Pero sige pa rin ang ingay.

Nerva: AMP! Ang ingay naman o!

Orenshi: Teka lang po a...lalabasin ko. *dudungaw si Orenshi mula sa tent* Pst! Wag kau maingay plz? *babalik siya sa loob at hihiga sa tabi ni Nerva* ayan okay na.

Maya maya e dumating na rin si Tine at sinubukan nung tatlo na matulog. Pero...

Camper 1: Nawawala ang pera ko!

Camper 2: Tignan mo muna sa bag mo baka andun lang sa ilalim.

Camper 1: NAWAWALA PERA KO! NAWAWALA PERA KOOOH!

Camper 3: Huy ano ka ba? Buti kung tayo lang ang tao rito!!!

Camper 1: YUNG PERA KOH *with OA voicing*!!!

Samantala sa loob ng tent nina Nerva

Nerva: AMP! Orenshi, labasin mo nga sila!

Orenshi: Plz wag maingay! Hindi lang kayo ang tao rito!

Camper 1: YUNG PERA KOH! YUNG PERA KOH! YUNG PEP - !

Nerva: AMP! *sabay baon ng ulo sa unan*

Orenshi: Wag naman maingay o?!? PWEDE?!?!

Camper 1: YUNG PERA KOOOOO! AHUHUHUHUHUHHUHUHUHUHU!

Biglang bangon si Nerva at dinaklot yung isang sapatos niya

Nerva: PUNYETA, MAGPATULOG KAYO NG IBANG TAO SABI!

Camper 1: YUNG PERA KO - igik!

At tumahimik ang kapitbahay na tent

Nerva: Kelangan pang pukulin ng sapatos manahimek lang....

Tine: Matulog na lang tayo.

Orenshi: Mabuti pa nga!

At unti-unting nanahimik ang paligid. Dama ni Nerva na ayan na... SA WAKAS!...ayan na nga talaga...makakatulog na siya...AYAN NA!...konti na lang at mapupunta na siya sa paraiso't mananaginip...ayan na...ayan na... AYAN NA - !

Zaitun *na naka megaphone pa*: NERVA! NERVA, GISING! MAY PANLATAG KA BA DYAN??? PAHIRAM NAMAN! NERVAAAAA!!! YUHOOOOOOOOO!
