- Yami - icarus - Reindeer Roundup -
Yami walked down the road, hands in his pockets and head down, deep in thought. A few minutes before he had been celebrating the end of a successful quest with the group of people he had joined up with, but his thoughts turned bitter and he left abruptly. It had only been a short while ago that everyone had been stuck in this world, but already he had become accustomed to it, occasionally forgetting about the real world. Wanting to be alone with his thoughts he had walked without thinking, and ended up in an area he hadn't seen before. He stopped as he heard the crisp crunch of snow underfoot, and looked around.
He was in what would have been an ordinary field, except that it was covered in a light layer of snow, turning the usual green into pure white. A short distance away was a hut, made of wood with a chimney currently belching smoke. The door stood open, with a man standing in it. As he wasn't moving Yami assumed it was an NPC, so maybe he had found a new quest or a special event. He quickly walked over, and was only a little disappointed when the quest notification popped up as the man started talking. Listening to the basics and accepting the quest, he made his way to the area specified. All he had to do was bring some reindeer back to the man, and get rewarded. Easy enough.
As he looked at the 'herd, he realised he had been wrong. Before him stood a group of angry pigs, about a dozen. The 'reindeer' were a few of the pigs with what passed as antlers taped to their heads. He stood there for a moment and thought about how to get the reindeer out without angering the normal pigs any further, before coming to the conclusion he would need help. Sitting down, he sent out a quest beacon, hoping someone would pick it up and help him.

| | He honestly couldn’t believe it. They’d somehow managed to take the pig quest and twist it into something even more tedious.
With a long suffering sigh, he pressed the palm of his hand to his forehead, eyeing the closest antlered pig with suspicion. How were they even supposed to get the damn things back in a pen? He had no desire to make himself look ridiculous by chasing them around, and there were the regular ones to worry about. Worry, perhaps, was too strong a word, but they would just serve to make this take even longer than it needed to.
He scouted the field, pleased to find another player already had a quest beacon up. He applied to join the party even before introducing himself, keen to get on with it before his fingers turned blue.
“Hey cowboy,” he greeted, winking, attempting to find some amusement from this quest. “Ready to play roundup?”

Yami didn't have to wait very long for another player, as he received a party request from somebody he couldn't see at first. Looking around, he saw the boy as he started talking. For some reason he called him a cowboy, but if anything it should have been a farmer because they weren't cows. At least, as far as Yami knew. He was probably wrong though. Eh, might as well play along with it.
"Hey partner, about time someone showed up. Could use some help." He looked back at the group. Getting rid of the normal ones shouldn't be too hard, it was dealing with the ones he needed to get back that would be annoying, if at all possible. "So, got any bright ideas for them?" Hopefully this guy would know what he was doing, and judging by the quick look at the fact he was level 3 that was a safe guess.

| | The other player seemed oblivious to his flirting, sending a brief note of disappointment echoing through him. Oh well. It was still someone else Icarus could use to do the worst parts of the quest and avoid having to do them himself. As the guy was only level one, Icarus doubted he’d try and complain.
“How about I clear out the normal pigs, and you try to herd the others back into the pen?” He’d only need a couple of basic attacks to kill the pigs now, so he should be able to clear the field quickly. He’d come a decent way in a couple of weeks, though the gap between him and the other plays was still annoyingly large. He’d just need to get himself the rest of the way before they managed to kill the boss and progress to more difficult content. “Er, I guess chase them or something? Poke them with your sword?” He wasn’t entirely sure how the guy would get them back into the pen, but that was honestly not his problem.

"Sounds like a plan." Yami made his way to one of the 'reindeer' that was on the outskirts of the herd, and looked it up and down. Except for the antlers, it was a normal pig, so he wanted to make sure it wouldn't attack him when he wasn't expecting it. He pulled out his sword and closed the rest of the distance. He was happy to see it stay in place, although that took away the possibility of having it follow him after getting aggro.
First Yami tried picking it up, hoping he could just carry them over, but it's weight and his relatively low strength ensured it stayed on the ground. He tried pushing it from behind, but he kept, falling over as it budged maybe an inch each time. He moved on to pulling it by the antlers, and while this worked marginally better, his hands kept slipping off of the things twig-like objects. Realising he needed more leverage, he got out his sword again. As the pig continued to graze, mocking him with it's own inaction, he slipped the sword in between a few of the branches of the antlers, making sure it wouldn't come loose easily.
He pulled, and the pig followed begrudgingly, trying to return to the spot where it had found some food. Yami persevered however, and after a while had it back in the pen, latching the gate as he came through. Jumping the fence, he made his way back to see how the other guy was faring, and if he had cleared another one to be moved yet.

| | Icarus moved fluidly to one of the aggravated pigs, sword flashing almost as soon as it fixed its beady little black eyes on him. Two hits and it exploded into shards, gone before it could even hope to attack him.
One pig down, he glanced over at how Yami has doing, unable to help but grin as he watched the other player struggle to move the ‘reindeer’. Eventually, Yami managed to make it move, slowly tugging it back towards the pen. Hey, the guy even managed to remember to close the gate.
The next antlered pig was almost out enough for Yami to get to it without aggroing another. Unsure whether the other pig would aggro if he tried – it was close, but he supposed getting his party member attacked would be bad – he deliberately pulled it anyway, destroying it with the same ease he’d killed the first one. This was actually pretty boring. That Christmas item had better be worth it.

Yami made his way back, checking out the guys moves. He was cutting through the pigs like they were nothing. He couldn't even hope to be that effective yet, and it was just one more thing that showed how different he was from the front liners. He looked at the recently freed reindeer. He may not be the best, but he was still able to do something to help.
He jogged back and started the process again, hooking the steel blade in the weird antlers of the makeshift reindeer. Pulling on it he turned to Icarus. "Not exactly what I thought this quest would be about, what about you?" He glanced around, making sure none of the rest of the herd would attack him on the way, especially with his weapon currently hard to retrieve.
