1. First Day At Falner
You have just arrived at Falner Estate, a sprawling, beautiful, 400-hectare co-located space between Britain, Germany, and the Philippines, and the main base of Netsach. The flora and fauna in the area gives both a sense of familiarity as it looks at first glance like things you’ll find on Earth, and a weird sense of otherworldliness. Given the size of the place, the Estate is less of a compound and more like a town unto itself. The older buildings within the estate are gothic in their construction, and clear throwbacks to 19th Century Europe. The newer facilities, however, sport cutting edge contemporary designs that were clearly inspired by Fourth World architecture and technology.

If you want a better idea on what can be found on the estate, you can refer to this link.


2. A Day On The Job
You are pushing papers at Methuselah, doing research at the Arcanum, or going out on patrol -- whatever it is that you're doing, it's just another day for you as a Hunter of the Vigil.


3. Let's Head Down to Haven
Find yourself itching for a night out on the town? Why not head over to Haven, the classy nightclub that looks like a large, monolithic black building with no visible windows from the outside and the name of the club emblazoned in bold, white letters on one side.

Haven is located in Makati City, and is open to the public (especially the local supernatural community), but you might want to prepare yourself to wait in line for a very, very long time – unless you’re a Hunter, of course.

Falner’s Maenad Division holds office on top of Haven, as does Ordo Daywalker. Some of Haven’s staff also live above the night club.

'Well, he looks a little... Stressed.' Kaz notes as the boy moves closer. Anyone looking at Kaz would probably just see a young man with a goofy smile on his face.

"Ahn-ree. Did I get it right?" he grins, testing out the pronunciation, and holds his hand out. "I'm Kaz."

[fumed]

"Yeah, that's fine," he says. It's as spot on as it gets, so that's fine with him. He takes the hand up quickly, a smile growing on his lips. "Kaz. Got it." Looking up at the tree and then back down at him, he tips his head. "Where'd you learn to do that?"

[ktotheatothez]

"Oh, that? Ah, here and there. I happen to like high places, so..."

Kaz shrugs gracefully, and digs out a tin from his jacket, a subtly shiny black, with white and purple piping on the sleeves. He actually looks at Anri before he even opens said tin.

"Do you mind if I smoke?" he asks, because it's only polite.

[fumed]

He shakes his head in response. It's fine. Better than the lady who blew smoke in his face without asking, so hey, he'll give it to him. "I like high places too, but never as high as that. I'd break my neck..."

[ktotheatothez]

"Well, I broke my neck once. I... didn't feel it though." he chuckles as he lights up his second cigarette, having finished the other one earlier.

He follows up on his last statement quickly, because people have freaked out when he delivers that line with a smile.

"Sorry, um," he points at himself. "Card. Drew my Second Breath a few years ago. But trust me about high places, it's breathtaking when you're at the top."

[fumed]

Anri was going to say. You usually don't feel it because you're dead, that much seems a little bit obvious, but the second Kaz rights it, or at least... semi-rights it, he lets go of the words immediately. "Wow..." Asking about it doesn't seem appropriate, at least he wouldn't like answering those sorts of things himself, so he nods in understanding at that.

"It sounds it... looks like I'll have to get practicing then."

[ktotheatothez]

"Practicing? You do parkour, Anri?" Well, right then he sounds like a teacher curiously probing about his students.

He takes a drag from his cigarette, careful to blow away from the both of you, but eyes you curiously.
