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.

A little ways away from where you are, a man will appear to be dancing through a swarm of holo-haptic attackers, slicing his katana through limbs and necks with a calm, almost contemplative expression on his face. Had you deigned to throw him a look once or twice, you would have seen that his gaze often slides over to where you are working up quite the sweat, seemingly taking his attention off a target or three.

... seemingly. A crowd of five rushes him and are promptly halved at the torso in one sweep by his sword, now somehow almost as tall as he is. He leaves his back open, and a mook attempts to blindside him. Said mook is clobbered on the chin by the handle of a naginata that you could have sworn was the sword before, and then, as the oversized spear is flipped over, is skewered at the chest and flung aside. And so on, and so forth.

He is finished with his meditation of violence around about the moment you finish with yours. He'll be walking over to you just then. He offers you an energy drink, by way of greeting.

"Excellent form. Care to try that with real swords? I really think you're ready for it."

The man is...perplexing. Sophie wants to know exactly how is he doing what he's doing and how can she do the same, although she's fairly certain it goes beyond the realm of her abilities, most likely. Still, it serves as some honestly strange company as she trains.

Sophie's not expecting the conversation, but she decides to go with it anyway. Plus, free energy drink? She's sold. "This is just my warm up routine, I don't see the point on putting the poor dummies through the blade."
