PEACE WEEKEND
[It's your first week here, and you've been offered a fantastic prize for killing someone: an all-expense paid vacation! It's a pretty standard prize as far as reality game shows go.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), this isn't exactly a game show.
It seems that no one has died this weekend, and the deadline for the prize is now expired. There's no announcement from the Overseers to that effect; in fact, none of you have seen either of them since Tuesday. Maybe they'll make a reappearance soon, but for now, it seems that you've got a moment of peace.
Hopefully nothing happens to it.]

[Zombina notices that and decides not to comment. It's smart of him not to hand over a knife just like that.]
Yer half right. We'll cover that with the second diagram, but only one of the points on that one is even kinda safe ta stab. They're the areas ya don't wanna stab if ya don't wanna dead body in under a minute.
[Knowing what not to hit is very important.]
It's safer and easier ta just slash 'em. There's less risk of hitting any major organs that way. Instead, the goal of slashing is ta get their nerves and either disable 'em or make it hurt so much that they wuss out and run away with their tail between their legs.
[Zombina points at the first diagram.]
This diagram's the one for slashing. All but four of the area's I've marked on it are safe ta slash without the risk of 'em dying in an minute or two or risking an sudden case of disembowelment.
[Zombina holds out the pen she was using.]
Feel free ta circle the areas you think are those four ya don't wanna slash or just point 'em out. I wanna see what you think those areas are first.
[The areas are helpfully labeled A-W, so go ahead and pick four.]

[ huh. he studies the diagram carefully, looking at each point, taking it in. he's going to keep this knife on him at all times. ]
Can I keep this? I'll hide it under my bed or something.
[ hm... ]
So M, N, J, and B?
[ is that right? ]
no subject
[Zombina makes a go ahead gesture.]
Feel free ta keep it. references are always good. But yup. Those are the spots ya wanna avoid the most. A lot of the others will bleed a lot, sure, and some pretty rapidly, but most people'll be conscious enough ta try and staunch the blood. Get slashed in one of those four spots and you're screwed. M and N will result in loss of motion if ya manage ta penetrate the abdominal wall, but are way too risky in a fast fight and will probably wind up with guts everywhere instead.
[Trust her, she knows that guts arn't a pretty sight.]
Anyway, lemme tell ya 'bout some good spots ta hit! Points W and V are excellent spots 'cause they both have an shit ton of nerves. Because of that, slashing that will result in a shit ton of pain and cause loss of motion in their upper torso.
As ya may be able ta guess Q, U, and S will also result in losses of motion. The back is full of muscles controlling motion and not really any big arteries to worry about hitting, so it's one of the safer areas ta go for.
[Zombina points at each letter as she talks.]
You'll probably be able to hit them in the front easier though, so Point L is good, as it'll kill their ability to throw an decent punch. Though I doubt punching is what you'll need ta worry 'bout.
Like I said back at the library though, H is one of the best spots.
[Zombina points to where H is on the forehead.]
I also works, but it won't possibly blind 'em with blood. It just causes extreme pain like H does.
A good rule of thumb is that areas with lots of nerves and no major arteries are the best spots. But yeah, like ya said, hurting them without actually killing them. It's not about how much ya make 'em bleed, it's about how much ya make 'em hurt.
no subject
No guts. That shit just sounds messy. [ and disgusting, to boot. ]
Huh. Alright. I can probably memorize this by the end of the week.
[ he's used to having to memorize routines, so he'll find some way to memorize this for sure. ]
So H is the best spot, right? And these are slashes, not stabs? How am I gonna practice this?
no subject
[Guts are not fun to stuff back in.]
Pretty much. It won't stop 'em, but it'll distract and overall hinder them in the fight.
[Zombina nods before picking up two markers she snagged from a conference room earlier in the day.]
I think slashing'll work more for ya anyway. When using an knife, ya always want ta keep moving and not just go right in swinging. Keep moving and dodging until there's an opening ta get an hit in. Then, when the opening is there ya wanna get in and out as fast as possible.
[Zombina uncaps both markers and holds them out to him. Red or Blue, take your pick.]
We're gonna do an practice game right now. Obviously we'll be usin' these markers instead of knives for two reasons. A. So we don't actually do any damage and B. So we can see exactly where we manage ta hit afterwards.
no subject
yuri takes the blue marker and sets the knife down, dangerously trusting that zombina won't take it and stab him when she gets the chance. ]
Alright, I'm ready.
no subject
[Just let her demonstrate with the red marker.]
See? Like this.
[She'll give him a minute to copy her.]
Alright! Let's start on the count of three. One... two.... three!
[Zombina promptly starts trying to get behind him and lash out at his back with the red marker.]
no subject
except when she counts to three, yuri is easily hit with the red marker. he really was not ready for that at all??? ]
Hey--hey! I wasn't ready!
[ he only thought he was, apparently. ]
Go slower!
no subject
[Zombina cackles and starts moving around slower. Gotta give Yuri something resembling a chance.]
