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. |
Norman Bates | Bates Motel
[A seventeen year old Norman Bates stands amid the crowd, hands folded in front of him and listening quietly. He doesn't know what to make of the situation. It's confusing and just so much. Only yesterday his concerns were trying to convince his mother to allow him to keep going to public school instead of being homeschooled and trying to make friends in a new town. This was certainly a new town, but there was indication as to where yet.
He waits until both speakers are finished, giving them his full attention. It's only after those gathered are given time to think that he turns to someone nearby, raising his voice only a little and being careful not to intrude on their personal space.]
Excuse me, um, but where exactly are we?
limo
[If the speeches were too much, the limo certainly is. Everyone seems so nice, and Norman attempts to join in on the conversation but easily finds himself tripping over his words. He declines all offers of alcohol, designating himself as too young to drink. He doesn't blame anyone for wanting to have a good time, but he wants to join in also. When he speaks up again he does his best to make eye contact with someone who doesn't seem otherwise busy or preoccupied, giving them a friendly smile.]
Have you ever been in a limo before? It's pretty cool, huh?
MURDER PARTY BUS
Norman's question catches him during a break in the action--he's looking out the window. ] It never gets old, [ Bob assures him with a smile.
He has not, in fact, been in a limo before. Company cars, sure, but never a limo. ] You could get used to this, right?
limo
When the boy next to her makes eye contact, she turns her head and gives him an uncomfortably prolonged stare. Without any hint of a smile. On the inside, she's already deciding what the easiest ways to kill him would be. Same as she's done to everyone else.
Hanna chose the side that would give her the best advantage for survival. She was never told who she could or couldn't kill, which means everyone on "her side" is fair game. He seems young though, and the fact that he's close to her age is the only thing that makes her reluctant to want to kill him. She thinks of Sophie, and decides that she might want to try having a friend again.]
No.
[She finally answers both of his questions. Her voice is a little flat, but the corner of her mouth turns upward marginally.]
Are you frightened? Conversation involving unimportant questions usually implies elevated levels of Catecholamines. Dopamine, norepinephrine , and epinephrine are all raised at the same time, making you feel anxious.
