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. |

It's a risk to talk to someone that's now viewed as trouble but it's one she's willing to take. ]
Here.
[She pulls off her jacket and starts to remove her plaid button down. It's old and threadbare enough to tear right into, and she works a little off the edge to offer him so he can clean up a little. As she does, her eyes look up at his face. She's very careful not to show him pity because she can guess that he won't like or want it.]
They aren't going to let you stay here. Trust me, I know how these assholes work. You have to choose a side.

[Frank takes her offering of the cloth, holding it to his nose and bending his head down to further along the clotting process. He's been through the whole injury thing many times before, but never at the hands of something as weird as this.
At her information he simply grunts, not willing to accept it. Though he appreciates her insight, he allows it to roll off his back and attempts to ask something entirely different instead.]
You sure you don't need that?
[After the sleeve is already torn and there's blood on it. Good job, Frank.]

[That's a lie. Cali doesn't afford new clothes often, and that's with the money her mom brings in. She's never had a job so she doesn't exactly know how work's going to go here. But she was taught to help out with people who need it, and this guy definitely needs help right now. So her shirt can be a little torn up, it's not that big of a deal.]
It's only a shirt. It's not as important as your face.
[She smirks a little, and uses what basic first aid knowledge she has to reach out and look at his face.]
no subject
[He allows her to help anyway, Frank is not about to scare off a well meaning kid. Especially since it seems like allies are of the utmost importance at this stage.]
Broken more bones than I can remember. That's not what I'm worried about. You and some of these others here, you gotta be too young for this shit.
