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.

The night air is familiar, cool, something that Ro can certainly get behind as he changes into a more suitable form for skulking about the grounds. On four, rough paws and with sturdy form, he makes his way through the gardens, sniffing about the grass and hearing the soft pitter pattering of tinier feet, minute squeaking noises and soft chirrups from night birds. Hunting at night affords his feral nature privacy that daylight can't cover. Fewer people to get in the way to scare his prey just as well. He moves slowly through the dark, canine shoulders hunched forward as he pursues and catches himself a particularly fat-looking rodent. He's digging into it quite vigorously and by the time he's through with it, there's nothing left but a few scattered bones and some hair he couldn't care for.

It's the odd scent of blood and plastic that has his nose turning upwards, tongue sliding over his teeth and jaw as he looks around and makes his way towards the shape of a young woman sitting in the garden, a book spread open in her lap and bag full of blood being sipped at.

Huh.

He's certainly not after her blood, but rather, the company might be nice. His muzzle is still a bit stained, but he decides he doesn't look too menacing. Just like any other dog. Most people can't tell the different between dingos and regular old house breeds anyways. So here is just peeking out from some bushes and looking at her. Hello.

Ella had noticed the particular smell of something wild in the midst, but she hadn't done a thing, partly because she supposed that ignoring it will bring it closer to her, partly because she didn't know what she was dealing with.

When Ro comes around though, Ella turns to look at it better, all attempts to play it cool going right off the window. "Hey boy," she says with a smile. Ella's not sure of how animals would react to a vampire, but she wants to believe she could at least pet it a few times before it freaks out.

"Are you lost? I don't remember seeing anyone with a dog like you around." Talking to it feels natural, perhaps because nobody can see her.
