I went to an online game center last Friday to play Ragnarok Online. It was the War of Emperium schedule. When I entered the place, I didn’t see any available PC. But the keeper told me that I could get a vacant PC upstairs. It’s true, there were some available PCs there. I was going to go the corner when I saw two cute gals playing RO. And lucky me, beside them there was an empty seat. Soon I took the seat and turned the PC on.

While waiting my PC to boot up, I observed them. I am sure they are still in the high school. Maybe junior or senior. They are about 15 or 16 years old. From the way they played the game, I knew they were new players. The first girl played a female magician, but she didn’t know the correct spells to use on the correct monsters. The second girl who played a female swordie couldn’t find the Kafra NPC. I took the chances and told the magician girl some spells trick. Then I told the swordie girl the location of the NPC she’s looking for.

It worked. I managed to get their attentions. When I finally logged in the game and loaded one of my character, they were surprised at how high my character’s level was. Well I didn’t want to get that much attentions early, so I played my lowest-level character, but still they were amazed. Unfortunately they were not on the same server as me so we couldn’t meet in-game. For about half an hour, I gave them some clues and hints to play the game well.

Later, the War of Emperium begins. Well this one is what keep me playing RO so I put most of my attention there. I didn’t help the girls anymore and they seemed to know that I was busy with my own business. Good for us. I planned to go back to them after the War. While I was in war, however, I heard some. Well it’s usual in a place like that. But I noticed that I heard the cursing more and more and the source was near. Oh my God, it turned out that the ones who cursed were the girls beside me. Holy shit, they swore like there’s no tomorrow. Everytime their characters died, they cursed. Everytime they missed the monster, they swore. Everytime some monsters mob them, they screamed. Geez, the words were definitely not what I expect to come out from the mouth of cute teenage girls like them.

Well I know some people do like to curse for no reason. Even I got some friends that swears all the time. But I still can’t get it. I am definitely not comfortable staying near them. And honestly, I don’t think it’s a good habit. Especially on teenagers like them. If they keep doing that when they are young, they will do it for the rest of their life.
