Description
When plans come apart, one must improvise.

In a game of chess, this is when opponents are actually playing chess.
Everything else they do involves pitching their book learning against each other.

Story Notes:

1. Few frames should be spent on the actual sword fight. It's tempting to show more action to keep viewers involved, but remember that the main character has no skill with a sword and her memory is fragmented.
2. What skill is displayed by the main character should make it look like she's led to it. Think about ballroom dancing where one leads and the partner follows, but the following partner doesn't really understand what they are doing.
3. The rapier should dance about, but in a way that is consistent with how rapiers are used. No hacking. It should spin and jab for vital organs and major arteries.
4. What frames are shown of this fight should show the glowing long sword parrying the rapier creating near misses.
