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. |
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. |

The word "ironing" dies on his lips. ] For clothes. [ There's a questioning lilt to the statement. ] Are you lost? I mean, [ he clarifies, more confident ] you seem disoriented.

He raises his eyebrows, politely. His interest is more than polite. ] What are you used to?

[She extends her hand slightly, admiring the pattern on her robe. Some unfamiliar-looking bird with jewel-colored feathers. The fabric is cool against her skin, perhaps the finest fabric she's ever encountered.]
Your clothes are similar. You know this place, don't you?
no subject
I know places like it. [ His face lights up in a smile. ] Hey—let me show you around.

[Inga lets the ironing board slip from her hands, clattering away. It's not important. Even if it might be valuable, there are more interesting pursuits. Information, for one thing. She returns the man's smile, with just the smallest hint of teeth.]
You may call me Lady Inga.

I'm Bob Benson, Benson Cooper advertising. [ The introduction would sound polished, if not for his enthusiasm--it's dangerously close to exuberance. ] We operate out of New York, which is similar to...
[ Stepping over the ironing board, he's poised to stride out of the room when something--a set of coffee dispensers, paper cups, tiny cups of cream, the works--stops him in his tracks. ] Oh! Very important question: have you ever had coffee?
no subject
[He's saying a great deal of words that she doesn't recognize, coffee among them.]
I have not. You will, of course, show it to me.
