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. |

[ this was insane. at first she thinks she's dreaming, because what the hell is going on? how can something like this be real?! except it doesn't take long for the horrible realization to sink in that this was real.
she's listening to the speech intently, she focuses on the man saying it and on his guards. as much as her gut is telling her to start fighting she knows that right now that's not going to do any good. she'd be outmanned and outgunned.
to her there really is no choice on what side she's going to go to. there is nothing to consider. for a moment she turns to look at the people on the left - studying them, hating them, trying to commit their faces to memory for when the purge night actually came. ]
BUS RIDE
[ she spends half the bus ride staring at the seat in front of her. it's hard to wrap her head around what's happening. it's not that she doubts how evil people can be, it's more a question of how they ended up here. how these people were getting away with this.
she begins to look around the bus, taking in everyone there. it's a real mix of people and that's enough to make her skin crawl. this whole situation was making her skin crawl. it made her sick. it made her angry.
so much for giving up being black canary. not that she'd really be the canary without her canary cry. at least she could fight. at least she could try to do something.
it feels like forever until she finally turns to look at the person next to her. ]
You doing okay?
[ it feels like a stupid question, but she can't help but ask it. ]
bus ride
This city they're riding through, the whole thing is a crime scene.
That's worn off. Now he's doing nothing more than waiting for the bus to stop. ] Fuckin people. [ He mutters, then lapses into silence for a good minute or two. ] Surprised they didn't shoot us the moment we walked out that door.
