despite its back-alley, cracked window, made-of-crumbling-brick appearance, Open Mic is actually one of the most popular little cafe's in all of Russian. Just like the half-flickering neon blue sign says: the establishment has a small stage that hosts a number of theme nights, be it poetry, music, or comedy. The entertainment, however, isn't the cafe's only selling point. Clearly it provides some of the best coffee and beverages this side of Lazarus, but if you find yourself there with a deamon, well, there might be the possibility of getting something a little less legal... The dirty dealings of the open mic tend to make for very interesting performances.

the best strawberries in russia come from the field behind the orphenage in the khlochkov commande centre. the children of the bloody berry orphanage welcome anyone to their fields since they support themselves by farming strawberries out behind the rickety old building they each call home. some of the children are abandonded nephil and some are the results of the supposed war. whatever the case, they deem themselves a close-knit family shrouded in rumors... of ghosts running the establishment, raising the children as their own, and blood of NKVD victums fertilizing the berries the children sell.

need a weapon to fight against those pesky angels and deamons? of course, they're not real! "the armoury" is a gift shop with a whole load of do-dad's perfect to help you remember your visit. although, if you know the right words to say, the demon staff just might show you the back room... whether it's a sword or a machine gun, the armoury is sure to have whatever you need. stocked to the brim with all kinds of imitation (and genuine) arsenal, the armoury is, of course, very popular.
