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. |
Freddie Gonzalez | From Dusk Till Dawn
[ The more the rules of this reality are explained, the more fidgety the Texas Ranger gets. Inclined as Freddie might be to do his part to keep a sense of civility and justice in this world and protect those who are incapable or otherwise tread upon, he does have his own priorities.
As the applause rises and echoes in the warehouse, Freddie shoves his way through the crowds. There are two people on his mind and he hasn't caught a sight of either of them: his wife and child. ]
Margaret! Billie!
[ People of all ages and walks of life and pushed out of the way-- frankly he can't discern them from blurry figures. At this moment, only two people in particular would be clear to him. ]
apartments
[ Listening to the survivors rekindles some faith in Freddie's shaken spirit. He still hasn't found his family and the longer he stays, the more alone he feels. While it's a relief to know the people he would protect with his life are not in physical danger, the lack of answers to his concerns create a churning pit in his stomach.
He's never felt more alone and at a lack of purpose.
After acquiring a small tote from one of the Purge survivors, Freddie begins to organize his supplies. He keeps to himself, in the corner of one of the hallways with his back against the wall. Inclined as these people may be to survive without harming others, he's not entirely inclined to believe there's any alliances to be made here. Not yet. [

Can you tell me what they look like? Maybe I can help you look. I can't find my mother either.
no subject
When he pinpoints the voice to the face, a bit of regret hits him. The kid is pretty small and probably didn't require much effort to move in the first place. There's no time for that now, though: not for either of them. ]
Ah, dark hair, brown eyes. She got some--
[ He twirls his wrist at his neck as he struggles to come up with the words. ]
-- highlights or something last week. They're lighter brown. My daughter's still an infant. They'd be together.
[ They would be together. They had to be. ]
What about your mom?
