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. |

when the guards start to beat him she makes a move to get in between them, she even takes a few steps forward. another guard steps in front of her as if challenging her. sh wants to fight him. except right now that probably isn't going to do any good.
of all the times not to have her canary cry.
the guard seems to smirk at her when she doesn't move, and she glares at him in return. when they're done beating the man and leave him on the ground she makes her way back over to him. ]
So much for giving us a choice.

[The way he answers is strained, as if speaking is physically painful. For a moment he remains still, catching his breath. After regulating his breathing somewhat, Frank hoists himself up, pushing on the ground with his hands before unfolding his knees. It's not the most fluid way in the world, but it gets the job done.
When he finally stands next to her, Frank offers a wry smile through his blood-covered face.]
I would have kicked him for looking at me like that, but that's just me.

she raises an eyebrow at him, then glances back at the way the guards had gone. ]
Trust me, I'll be doing a whole lot more than that next time I see him.
[ she pauses and sighs. ] I can't believe they're serious about this.
no subject
[While Frank refuses to accept his situation, the beating was enough to tell him that things are indeed very real here.]
You've probably got the right idea for now. Can't hit back if we're dead. [He shifts his focus, looking at either side of the warehouse.] Know where you're headed?
no subject
Or underequipped. [ what she wouldn't give for her canary cry right now. even her tonfas, or her gun (that was a last resort and this was a probably going to end up being a last resort situation).
she looks from one side of the whatehouse tot he other as well. it really wasn't a question. there was nothing to think about here.]
Yeah. You?
