Crescent Club (Nightfall)

Night Club as well as the Snow Haven headquarters for Nightfall.

The newest club to open in Snow Haven, replacing an old disco that hasn't been open since the 1980s. It is a two-story building with a rare basement area. The dance hall is on the ground floor, with a bar against one wall, offices and private rooms on the second floor, and a soundproof, waterproof basement for... storage. Patrons are not allowed on the basement level.

The Club is open for everyone, so the Statute is in effect on the main floor. The VIP area is for supernatural creatures and aware Humans only. Nightfall, its offices on the second floor and the basement level, are for supernatural creatures & aware Humans only.

This particular branch is located in Snow Haven, Alaska. The Nightfall headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and they have a second location in Kiri, Florida, in the Eclipse Nightclub.

The Crescent Club is the nightclub as well as the base of operations for Nightfall in Snow Haven. It is the newest, and currently biggest, nightclub in Snow Haven, and the only of its kind to be found in the small town.

Residents and tourists no longer have to drive, boat, or fly hours away to enjoy a nightclub with a big-city feel. There's now one right in Snow Haven!

GROUND FLOOR - THE CLUB

The ground floor of the building is the home of the Crescent Club itself: a nightclub with a bar, music, and dancing. The front half of the ground floor is the dance floor, backed by a massive DJ booth and a state of the art sound system. The bar extends the entire length of one wall, with seating, and floor to ceiling display of alcohol. The opposite wall is covered by a stage with clustered seating areas of table and chairs in front, for dancers and other performances to perform on the stage, as well as giving those tired of dancing a place to rest.

The back half of the ground floor is the "VIP Lounge" - it is actually a private back area for Supernats that want to be more themselves in the club. It mirrors the other side of the club except magic and abilities are allowed as they are hidden from prying, unaware Human eyes. The VIP Lounge is soundproofed so it has its own separate entertainment and bar for the more magically inclined and infused.

SECOND FLOOR - THE OFFICES

Behind a set of 'EMPLOYEE ONLY' doors lies a small guard station and a set of stairs up to the second floor.

The second floor of the Crescent Club is the base of operations for Snow Haven's branch of Nightfall. Here is where all their information is stored and filed, and where Nightfall meets with its clients and business partners as well as break rooms for the employees. There are also rooms for research and investigation, both for the company as well as for various clients.

There are empty office spaces that clients can rent for their own uses if they so choose. The offices are soundproof and separated from the club and has its own back entrance through the employee area, just in case someone doesn't want to go in and out the front doors.

No visitors to the Crescent Club are allowed up to the second floor unless by arrangement or appointment with Nightfall.

BASEMENT FLOOR - THE WAREHOUSE

With its own separate entrance and exit, the basement level is a rare feature for a building in Snow Haven. It is a warehouse and storage area for Nightfall, for all kinds of things, and occasionally people, that Nightfall might need to store.

Just like the second floor, there are empty rooms that can be rented for use by clients. Different rooms and divisions have different access levels depending on employee or client status.

No one is allowed to the basement level of the Crescent Club unless they are an employee with the proper access or by arrangement or appointment with Nightfall.

Nightfall is a business owned and operated by Natasha Keller, with the local Snow Haven branch being run and managed by Joan Walsh. It is one of the few businesses to openly and actively cater to Supernats while still presenting itself as a private business to the human world.

It is an exclusively supernatural business where the limit of the services is only what someone can afford. No humans allowed - unless they're aware or employees with knowledge on the supernatural.

JOAN WALSH is the Director of Snow Haven's Nightfall branch. Nightfall owns the CRESCENT CLUB, a nightclub, office building, and basement warehouse in Snow Haven.

Your Needs Fulfilled

Nightfall is a purely supernatural-oriented business. Its employees encompass all the supernatural species as well as any aware humans who might choose to work for them. This is NOT a business for unaware humans - to the human world, it is a private customer service company catering to the wealthy and the powerful. All unaware humans who try to suss out more information are turned away at the door. With those more curious, more... drastic measures are taken.

As long as the client is either a well-informed human or a supernatural creature, Nightfall welcomes anyone and everyone as clientele. They do not discriminate based on age, race, species, or alignment. Whether young, old, good, evil, elf, or the occasional ghost, Nightfall is happy to perform whatever service someone may require.

The service provided can be anything within the realm of possibility. Nightfall very rarely says 'no' to a job. If they can't personally get it done internally, they have enough connections, power, and money to bring in outside help. Legality is also not an issue.

Vampires and Mages tend to be their best clients based on services provided, but they have services that cover the others as well.

Nightfall is also willing to take on most Supernats and Aware Humans as employees and provide them a job, as long as there is an available position for them within the company. And since they have recently opened a new branch, almost all positions need filled, part time and full time.

I basically want Nightfall to act as a catalyst for whatever you and your character might need IC. Connections, relationships, money, work, romance options, anything you can think of Nightfall can probably help with. It'll be fun!

The Snow Haven branch was established in 2018.

Nightfall was created by Natasha Keller in 2003/2004 to fulfill an untapped market in the Supernatural Underground. Prior to Nightfall's creation, there were no public businesses that catered exclusively to the supernatural underground.

There either was a cover business designed for the ignorant humans and the supernatural business operated out of a back room, or they were secret businesses run out of people's homes. Supernats did not have a business where they could actively go to that location without suspicion or an excuse.

The company originated out of Las Vegas, Nevada, where over the last 16 years they garnered a huge clientele and became quite a popular location for supernats to visit in the city. Nightfall owns several night clubs, warehouses, and office buildings in Las Vegas from which they conduct their business. The Southwest Branch, as it has been called, covers Southern California, Southern Nevada, Arizona, Southern Utah, and parts of New Mexico and Texas.

While the company conducts business and has connections all over the world, having one sole branch in Las Vegas proved difficult for expansion. In late 2016, Nightfall began to expand - first to Kiri, Florida, to manage the Southeast of the United States as well as parts of the Central Americas; then, in 2018 Nightfall decided to expand into the Far North of the United States using Snow Haven as their base of operations.
