- Another day

"I got to tell you. It's pretty great to be in this spaceship, just the three of us, you know?"

" I agree, Morty. [Belches] It's nice to get back to the basics after a pretty intense, mixed-bag of a year," Rick says.

"Ohh!" Morty yells after a weird space bugs insides splatter all over the windshield."

"Relax. That's what windshields are for."

"I didn't know that there were bugs out in space."

"Well, w-what did you think, Morty? Life just developed on earth by itself?"

"Gross, Rick. Clean the the glass," (Y/n) says disgusted.

He turns on the windshield wipers, smearing the bugs guts along it.

"Geez, Rick, that's disgusting. I don't want to look at that," Morty says.

"Yeah, guess I'm out of fluid. L-let me find a place to stop."

Rick flys the car into a yellow looking planet, and lands in the middle of a small village, next to a man with ears and a hat.

"Hey, muchacho, does your planet have wiper fluid yet, or are you gonna freak out and start worshipping us?"

"The general store ought to have what you need," the villager answers.

"Thanks."

"Of course, you'll be wanting to be gone from here by sundown."

"Yeah, sure thing...Wait a minute. What? Why?"

"Sundown is when the festival begins."

"The festival?" (Y/n) questions.

"Ooh, well, for millennia, our society has been free of crime and war, living in perfect peace."

"Oh, I know what this is!" Rick says eagerly. "You've been able to sustain world peace because you have one night a year where you all run around robbing and murdering each other without consequence."

"That's right."

"What?!" Morty cries.

"It's like "the purge," Morty. That movie "the purge"?"

"Oh, have you been here before?" The villager asks.

"No, no, but I've been to a few planets with the same gimmick. You know, sometimes it's called the cleansing or the red time. There was this one world that called it just murder night. I-it's a purge planet. They're peaceful, and then, you know, they just purge."

"T-that's horrible!" Morty says.

"Yeah. You want to check it out?"

"I'm not sure Rick. It could be dangerous,"    (Y/n) mentions.

"Yeah Rick. Let's just get the wiper fluid and go!" Morty declares.

"Ugh. Fine!" Rick turns his head over to the villager still standing outside the car. "Hey thanks man," Rick says to him.

"Oh it's no problem. Good meeting you."

Rick drives the car down to the direction the villager gave him.

After Rick had gotten the fluid, Morty and (Y/n) exited the car to put it in the car while Rick talked to an old man sitting outside the store.

"So, what do you do during the festival? You lock yourself in, or you go out and do some stuff?"

"Oh, I do some pretty bad stuff."
