Waking up in the warehouse is extremely uncomfortable. It’s warm, stifling even, and as you open your eyes, you realize two things: you’re somehow standing and you’re not alone. The room is filled with people grouped at its center, and like you, they are blinking into consciousness and wearing similar expressions of confusion and distress. To the left and right there are closed doors, a man and woman at both; their clothing and demeanour are widely different. The left is clearly upper class while the right is lower class. At the top of the room is a stage adorned in red, white, and blue banners with NFFA in block letters so large that it’s visible from the very back. What is the NFFA, you ask? Within minutes, a man that gives off a ‘Republican senator’ vibe steps up to the podium and begins to speak. Blessed be our New Founding Fathers for letting us Purge and cleanse our souls. Blessed be America, a nation reborn. Hello and welcome to the city. After fifteen successful purges, we are at a standstill. The New Founding Fathers have found a way to bring you here to promote a higher response in participation. Annually, for one night, any and all crime is legal, including murder. Everyone has the right to purge, and in doing so, you become the best you that you can be. During peace times, crime is lower than five percent and United States citizens know true harmony. Once he steps down, a woman takes his place and explains further, though in a less formal fashion. Everyone must choose. Pro-purge is anyone that will be actively participating - this means murder, specifically, though all other crimes are still allowed. There will be consequences for anyone who chooses the pro side and then doesn’t purge properly. Anyone who is in full support of the purge and completes three successful purges may go home. Those who choose the anti-purge side, anyone that doesn’t want to kill or believe in the NFFA’s right to purge, are not given this same incentive. All are given time to think it out. They can speak to one another for as long as they need. Any unrest will be not be tolerated. After everyone has chosen, the anti-purge side exit and are picked up in old buses and vans to be taken to old apartment buildings with basic necessities; there is no reception but are told exactly how it is by veteran Purge survivors. They must get a job and earn money to protect themselves during The Purge that cycles every two months. Those who choose the pro-purge side are chauffeured in limousines to fancy hotels with even nicer accommodations and are welcomed with an extravagant party as well as motivation to purge: you have to purge. |
Crime, year round, is forbidden through a serious of intricate laws and punishment if often severe. Jails have a low population and most are there simply because they are awaiting trial. Murder results in the death penalty. Tossing a gum wrapper on the ground results in a hefty fine and a minimum of five years prison time. Parole no longer exists. If these rules aren't enough to curb crime, then fear of repercussion come Purge night often will. However, humans are flawed and love to break the rules. They get angry and lash out. On the last day of the second month, a lock technician who works for a housing protection company is fired for calling in sick (his son broke an arm and needed taken to the hospital). On the evening before Purge Night, the technician and others go from mailbox to mailbox in apartments, houses, hotels, mansions, etc. and drop off handfuls of keys. These keys have addresses and names attached. Some find their co-workers residence keys, others their neighbors. The people they hate. Their own. Most won't have the time to alter their locks before Purging. Most won't have the time to consider why this company had so many keys. Will you use a key to unlock your neighbors door? Will you abandon your home and take cover elsewhere? OOC: For this prompt, no door will be unlocked. Enjoy the chaos. |
Throughout the year - and especially now that there is a two month period of peace and preparation - all citizens are allowed to advertise their needs as is sanctioned by the United States Government by any means; Craigslist, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, newspapers, the big screens in Times Square, etc. These advertisements may come in many forms, such as a person looking to pay another (with very specific appearance and background) to allow them to purge them. Payments are legal and binding. The purger might request that they kill, torture, and other various acts—all is legal on Purge Night. Advertisements may be as simple as looking for a partner to purge with or someone to help fortify a house or vehicle. There is no limit to what advertisements may be made. It is the right of every citizen. Blessed be America, a nation reborn. |

[ Of course, she hasn't actually gotten any orders yet. Not even sure if she'll be able to complete them - if she'll even have the balls to follow through on what's required of her to get back home when the time comes. Carrying the burden of death from one of her explosives or modifications isn't a new feeling, but this is far more personal. So to combat that, she may or may not already be distancing herself from everyone who isn't from her home because to her this is a strict matter or surviving another kidnapping and making sure everyone that matters to her is alive when the Purge night ends. And if she can get a corner on the weapons market, she can possibly develop a safety feature or frequency that disarms that weapon if it crosses paths with someone she's marked as a friend. ]
