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. |
Laura | Logan (X-men movies) | Can keep it spoiler free on request
Laura stopped really listening ten words into the woman's talk. Nothing important to what she wanted, to get back could come from her. Not when she's reading from some script. Small and skinny, she's still a tiny force of nature as she presses her way towards the front, towards the stage. She heard the demands, the purge, and she's already made up her mind.
The people on the stage could die. Then they'd all get free. The claws start sliding out of one hand as she reaches the halfway point, a hard-to-ignore growl forming in the child's throat.
Buses
Whether through another character's intervention or just inability to get access to the captures, the murder plan had failed. Laura sits in a window seat of the bus, arms crossed tightly across her chest, brow furrowed, and teeth intermittently bared as she stewed on the current situation. There was no paradise waiting just beyond reach now. She wouldn't kill for these people and their sick games. Not willingly, not after everything she'd learned from her...family. But there were others that had gone to the other side.
The youngest occupant of the bus punched the window next to her without warning, lashing out in rage at the...the bullshit of it all. The plastic-glass splintering under the impact. A small glob of blood from her knuckle stayed on the window, following the cracks to turn a small number of them a dark red. She wiped the rest off on the seat next to her, the cut already healed.
Arrival
He grabs her by the collar of the back of her shirt, yanks hard and hopes to use the momentum to get her back into the crowd. There, at least, they'd be surrounded by people in the same boat as them - meant it was easier to talk.
"Cut it out, kid."
Leo lets her go. His eyes narrow, but his expression is otherwise blank.

"With them?"
no subject
He keeps his voice low - the fewer ears catching their conversation, the better. Leo doesn't go around manhandling children without a good reason, so he raises a brow and bends forward. Not close enough to get a swipe from whatever the hell is coming out of her fist, but so she can hear.
"But you can't do whatever the fuck you were about to do. Piss them off and they might kill you. That or keep you til Purge Night and do it slowly."
no subject
But so much hadn't been lost for her to throw life away that easily. No matter what, she could remember that.
"They want to kill us anyway."
no subject
Leo blows out a breath, closing his eyes briefly - this was a mess. Kids getting dragged in, more people too because there wasn't enough already apparently.
"Doesn't matter which door you choose, someone on your side might decide you're who they need to kill come Purge Night. The less enemies you leave here with, the safer you'll be."
no subject
"Stop leaders. Done."
