QUEST?: Bacon Lovers Unite! TAGS: fenrir SISSY yami Rawlin Horus jinei NOTES:ANGRY PIG LV. 1 "An angry escaped pig! Oink!" A small pig that's escaped from the local farms. It seems to be causing chaos as it chases chickens! 50HP | 15 STR | 0 DEX

Personal Stats HP: 100/100 STR: 0 CON: 0 DEX: 0 Raiken walked through the wildlands, she had recently gotten a quest to kill some pigs and deliver their bacon to local farms. It was her first quest in the death game. She had spent most of the last month just exploring the first floor trying to see if she could find a way to get out of Aincrad, but was unsuccessful. She decided that since there was no way out of the death game, why not play it to get to the hundredth floor and break out after defeating the final boss.
But in order to do that, she would need to get stronger and faster. She had walked right past a farm when she saw a quest npc. When she approached it, she was immediately prompted for a quest called Bacon Bonanza. Shrugging to herself, the teenaged girl accepted the quest and started to search for the missing pigs randomly. She wondered why she was suppose to kill the pigs instead of simply capturing them and taking them back to the farm.
'It's not my problem if they want to lose some of their own income,' she thought to herself. Raiken stopped when she saw a field with seven Angry Pigs in it. 'Finally, but there's seven of them. With this beginner equipment, I won't stand a chance against them alone. I need to find a party or others that wonder pass here to help,' she thought and waited while watching the walking bacon.

Horus stepped nervously through the field, rusted sword clutched tightly in his hand. He’d never been outside the Town of Beginnings before…he had already begun to regret leaving.
A man off to his right caught Horus’ attention; at least, Horus THOUGHT it was a man. A tall NPC in a vest stood straight up, and as Horus cautiously approached him, a “Quest Prompt” appeared. Horus wasn’t quite sure what that meant, but he pressed a finger on the blue button to accept it.
The NPC rambled on about how angry pigs had been attacking the roads, and wanted Horus to kill a few of them to thin the herd out. Horus swallowed nervously; he’d still yet to fight anything in Sword Art Online. Most players had their first combat experience before the death game was announced…Horus hadn’t been so fortunate, and now the idea of it shook him to his core.
Regardless, Horus commanded himself to make progress in this game. Most players were already leagues ahead of him, and he was nothing if not competitive.
Horus figured out how to pull up the map and head towards the location of the quest, where these supposed angry pigs should be lurking about. As he grew closer, they came into focus, but there were more than just five pigs. Horus was sure that if he approached too quickly, he’d be dead.
Another player was nearby; a younger girl with dark hair, staring quietly at the pigs. She must be doing the same quest as Horus.
“Hey, are you doing the Bacon Bonanza quest?” Horus asked nervously. “I’m not very good at this…can you help a new guy out?”

Yami strolled across the wildlands, on the hunt for some pigs that he needed to kill some for bacon, in what was his first actual quest. It had taken him some time to get out into the world of the game after learning that he was trapped, but he figured that helping out the fighters would hopefully make getting out quicker. At first he had just watched others, following a couple of parties around and seeing how the combat work in this game. In order to make any kind of difference on his own though, he knew he needed better equipment, which would cost money. Hence the current questing, in what he hoped would snag him enough col to buy a decent sword, or a shield.
He came across a couple of other players talking, a girl and a guy, and noticed that they were looking at a group of pigs in the nearby field. It was a bigger group than he had expected, and it wasn't like he had amazing gear, so he'd probably be finished off quickly on his own. Putting two and two together he realised that the other players were probably on the same quest as him, and decided that he would join them, whether they wanted to or not. After all, if they sucked as well they could help each other run away and regroup. Walking over, he called out to them. "Hey guys, if we team up those little balls of bacon won't have a chance. What do you say?"

Personal Stats HP: 100/100 STR: 0 CON: 0 DEX: 0 Raiken continued to stare at the pigs as two people approached her. They both spoke, one was unconfident about attacking and killing the pigs and the other one was confident in his skills. With the starter weaponry that they had, they could kill one of the pigs if they all used sword arts at the same time twice in a role, or so the girl concluded. Since there were seven of them it would take awhile for them to complete the quest, but it should be beneficial for them to get use to fighting.
"Yes, I am under taking the Bacon Bonanza Quest. I was waiting for other people to either have the same quest or walk by and help me out. We can do it together," she stated as she unsheathed her rusty beginner's sword. After this quest, she decided that she would need to get a new sword. Something that wasn't so embarrassing as the rusted piece of **** that Kayaba gave all the beginners. "We'll start off by getting one of them to attack us. After that, we try to lure it away from the rest and kill it with sword arts," she said stating the plan.
The teenager did not know that luring was a skill that someone had to use in order to actually lure a monster where they wanted to go so the plan was not going to work. "I'll start the plan, if neither of you have any objections," she stated whilst staring at the two men.

Horus was happy to let this stranger make the first move. With literally no combat experience, he was planning to take what he can get in the ways of help. He’d be sure to back her up if push came to shove, but Horus wasn’t in any rush to put himself in danger.
That being said, Horus needed to come to terms with the reality of his situation. Others would surely work to complete the game with or without him, but he wasn’t content to sit around twiddling his thumbs while others died on his behalf. Too many players had died already, and Horus wasn’t sure he could sleep at night anymore knowing that he hasn’t tried to save any of them.
“I’m Horus,” he introduced himself. “We should get the pleasantries out of the way before we go into battle together. Here, let’s party up!” Horus sent party invites to both of the strangers, and readied himself to charge into battle.

Yami listened to the girl lay out her plan, which seemed pretty good. It would let them deal with the pigs one at a time, instead of getting outnumbered by livestock. And while he would never admit it, he was glad that he wouldn't have to be the bait. He didn't want to die on his first quest if something went wrong. Instead him and the other guy, Horus, would serve as backup and together they would kill the mobs without trouble. He watched as the other boy sent a party request, and accepted it with a quick flick of his hand.
Unsheathing his sword he prepared himself for the fight, adopting a general stance that he had seen a few people use. "Whenever you want, I'm ready to go." Hopefully it wouldn't take too loong, or be like some other games and not drop the items every time. That would suck, as they would need to fight more pigs to finish.

Your posting text here| Speaking: 00d6ff Thoughts: Raiken tapped the screen accepting the party request and said, "I'm Raiken." That was it, she didn't speak more than necessary. She already had her blade out, the grand ol' piece of ****. She sighed in disgust at the blade, before walking towards the first pig. Getting her blade ready, she prepped her first attack at the pig.
It was going to be a sword art due to her blade glowing a pale yellow. Raiken did not keep her eyes off her prey as she wet her lips slightly. This was going to be the first time she's fought in a game ever. While she would've wanted to have better equipment, it wasn't really an option at the moment due to her not having enough money to get better gear.
As the attack was fully charged, Raiken rushed forward towards the pig with the sword art. It appeared to be a horizontal upto the last minute when she changed the direction of her sword, it went under and over in an uppercut fashion. It struck the pig on the side, a red angry mark formed as she struck. Lines appeared within the red mark.
Pulling back, Raiken thought the pig would come at her. However due to her not having the lure skill, the pig charged five feet and stopped. Looking back at her comrades, "Plan B, Attack now." She had stated while making sure the pig did not recover any health, she stabbed it viciously with the business end of her sword taking off another point of damage to the pig.

Horus was the first to react; His sword clutched tightly in one hand, the blade began to glow as his sword skill activated. He fell into combat more comfortably than he’d expected, but the second Raiken commanded it, Horus was there. He may be the party leader, but he had no illusion of who was in charge here.
Okay, so Horus realized he liked following. That…might explain a few things.
Raiken had done a nice little bit of damage; none of them had particularly good gear. In fact, all of their gear was pretty terrible. So it was better to be safe than sorry in this case, so he planned to lay on as much damage as he could. Icarus had informed him that these pigs were the weak, but it would be a team effort to make this happen. It seemed this game demanded teamwork, which Horus was pretty grateful for.
Horus slashed out with his Slant Sword Skill, dealing 11 damage to the pig. It squealed loudly as a large red slash appeared in its side, though no blood splashed out. Instead, a grid-like pattern appeared, and Horus only admired the view for a moment before stabbing his sword into the pig roughly, and drawing it back out. Another one point of health was slashed from the pig.

Yami watched as the girl went to work, attacking and provoking the pig before retreating slightly. That was where the plan fell apart, however, as the pig gave a very brief chase and stopped, not taking the bait. That was when the apparent plan b started, which seemed to be grouping up and hitting it until it died. It really was an honour to watch such a great strategic mind at work. Not that he could really come up with something better or anything, so he played along.
Coming in behind Horus, he swung to the opposite side and let out a standard attack to the side, letting the momentum carry him on a spin away from the pig, before. Oming back to face it. He used the brief moment he was facing away to charge up his Sword Art, his blade glowing briefly before he let out the attack in a sweeping horizontal arc, scoring the beast's hide and revealing the digital inner workings for a second. He made to move before the pig could retaliate, but got tackled and knocked back before he could make it. Quickly glancing at his life bar he noted that it wasn't too bad, but a couple of those could be trouble.

As she retreated, the other two attacked the pig with sword arts and basic attacks. Raiken watched as the pig tackled one of the men with her, and retaliated instantly with a stab to the monster's plump posterior with her rusty sword. The pig squealed and turned around. Without warning, it attacked the young teenager dealing fifteen points of damage to her. Jumping back as far as she could, the girl started to charge up her next sword art. If her calculations were correct the pig should only have thirteen more health points left after her stab to it's posterior.
Raiken charged forward appearing to be going in for another uppercut, but at the last minute changed the direction of her sword in order to perform a horizontal sword slash against the porker dealing another eleven points to it. "Just do basic attacks! It's on it's last legs with only two left in the tank," she ordered the other two while jumping back away from the pig monster. She wanted to see the end of the pig monster, and this fight just confirmed it for her.
She needed better weaponry, but hasn't seen a smith during her travels throughout the floor. Deciding that it could be good experience, Raiken wanted to see how smithing worked in the game and see if she could apply it to the real world. But first she needed to find the licensing depot, and a market that sold ores to use.

Horus moved on cue, slashing out at the pig to deal another point of damage. It squealed loudly, angrily flailing in Horus' direction. Had it not been for the low health of his enemy, Horus wouldn't have been able to stab the pig in the side just one more time. The health bar dropped to zero, and the pig vanished into a kaleidoscope of shapes. Horus breathed heavily; he'd actually killed something!
Not that he'd done all the work, obviously. The others had done plenty of damage, he was just lucky enough to get the last shot. Additionally, he was the only one not to take damage during their encounter with the first pig. That helped a little with his confidence, though he knew his skill wasn't really to blame for that.
"Okay. One down, four to go," he said happily. There were six other pigs in the surrounding area; Horus wondered if the others had any interest in clearing the field. Maybe he was just feeling confident, but Horus would like to clear it for the experience if possible. But if push came to shove, Horus planned to put his own safety above a few experience points. He remembered his boyfriend telling him about games like this; dying sucked, but you could always respawn. That wasn't the case in SAO, so he planned to fight on the side of caution. At least for now.
"On to the next."

Yami picked himself up off of the ground just in time to see the other two finish off the pig, it exploding into brilliant shards of light. That hadn't been too hard of a fight, not that Yami had done that much, but it gave him a sense of how the combat was going to work. You needed to stay alert or you'd get caught off-guard like he just had. And while the pigs weren't too dangerous, they were also the weakest enemy in the game and had knocked him on his butt.
He nodded as Horus stated how many they needed to kill for the quest, and thought about how long he could go for. At the very least it looked like they would only attack one at a time, so if he got too close to dying he could just leave for a bit and rest. If only he had a shield or something...
"Well, no time like the present. I'm ready for the next one when you are guys. Just make sure to watch out, their tackle can do more than you'd think." There. With a warning hidden in an obvious statement, he checked himself and got ready for the next fight. He would let the girl decide what to do next, she seemed to have a better idea than him, not that he would admit it.

Pig 7: 50/50HP
Personal Stats HP: 55/100 STR: 0 CON: 0 DEX: 0 It was a long process of what they were doing. The trio had killed six pigs and nearing the last one. Raiken was tired, and still injured. She had gotten hit twice more after the first pig. She had gotten good with predicting the movements of the pigs. It was the last pig in the area, Raiken's hair was disheveled. Even though everything was virtual, somethings still acted the same like hair getting messy. Staring at the last pig, Raiken wondered if they really should fight it or not. "Do you want to make our kill list seven," she asked.
Even though she took the lead on the quest, she wanted to make absolutely sure they were ready to fight the last pig or not before she went in for the first attack. Sitting in the dirt, Raiken continued to stare at the last pig wondering how they were going to kill this one. Maybe she would go in for a uppercut or maybe a horizontal or basic attack. While thinking, she noticed it starting at her while eating grass, as if it were thinking about attacking her while she was seated.

Horus was exhausted. His luck had run out quickly after the first pig, taking two more hits in the battle. His health was nearing yellow, which wasn't low, but it was lower than Horus had ever seen it and that made him nervous. There was only one pig left, though, and they were still in well-enough fighting condition. The three of them could almost definitely defeat this pig without incident. Unless it ended up being some crazy strong boss pig. Horus squinted at the animal hardly, watching it graze peacefully.
Nah, they could kill it.
"I'm not one to say no to more experience," Horus panted, wiping a bit of sweat from his chin. He wasn't even sure if he could sweat in SAO, but he did it instinctively. He'd gotten the quest update recently to return, but had kept going to keep "grinding" experience, as he'd heard it called. "Let's do this."
Horus was feeling impatient, charging a sword skill as he sprinted at the animal. He felt his legs shake as he ran, but he pushed through and released an uppercut on the creature's rear, dealing eleven damage as usual. He knew he had a couple of moments before the creature would react, and he took the opportunity to swipe his blade across its side.
"Come on, let's finish up here!"

They had been going for a while now, almost clearing out the field. They had all taken a few more hits, but overall the fighting had gone down rather well, even considering both their lack of experience and their shoddy gear. The quest had already been finished and just needed to be turned in, but they had continued to get even more experience, and only had one pig left to go. He was about to answer the girl and say that he was going to head back when Horus ran towards the pig and attacked. That made up his mind to stay and fight. He couldn't just let the guy possibly die after all.
Running after the guy, he saw the pig begin it's tackle attack, pawing the ground for a slight moment. Having seen it in action he could tell what was coming next, but he also knew how to stop it. He raised his blade as he ran faster, urging his body to move. As he reached the pig he brought the shining sword down in a slanted swing, and as it hit with 11 points of damage it caused the attack to be interrupted by an injury animation instead. He slashed back up and across the animal's face, dealing another point of damage and causing another momentary red gash. "Wait for me next time. I'm not missing out on the fun, or the experience."
