East

The east side of the city is the very heart of Sacrosanct - it's unique skyline is a clash between modern sky rises and small Victorian-inspired storefronts. In the heart of downtown, the sleek colored glass buildings reign supreme though their old-world roots can be seen in the most peculiar places from the lamp post styled electric street light to the stone sidewalks. The old world architecture slowly returns the further from downtown you travel, however. It's here that magic thrives, it hums in every stone and can be felt in every breath. Often, newcomers to the city may become overwhelmed by such sensations but, eventually, it becomes an ever-present feeling that's hardly noticed.

Askaree Bint Bahar


What barman worth his salt would have ever turned away a customer determined to be singed again and again by the thick and burning wash of the world's many liquors? What false nobility was there to be had in denying a patron their chosen poison merely because it was presumed, quite falsely indeed, that they had "had enough"? None. And may this particular gentleman with his unabashedly wandering eyes and swine-like features be damned to the farthest and most domineering pits of whatever hell might await him for denying her the pleasure of finding the bottom of yet another overflowing tumbler. Who the fuck was he to decide when she had had enough?

Oh the things she would have said to him, the brazen and acidic syllables that stung the edge of her razor tongue as she waltzed with surprising ease from the facility's dank and dirtied bar room as he had not-so-subtly requested she do. The things she could have said, and yet none so much as purr from her pleasantly pouty lips, the wayward finger she salutes him with a far more telling intimation of exactly how much his opinion was valued and appreciated. Uppity bastard. She smiles to herself as she trudges along, the timely sway of her slender figure and the ease apparent in her gait betraying naught of the time she had already spent assaulting her liver with one brew or another. This was, she supposed, a not oft-discussed proclivity of the inebriated alcoholic... the ability to maintain a facade of sobriety for an impressively suitable amount of time before succombing to the phantom swaying of the earth felt by all eventual drunkards.

She is aimless for a time, the click of her heels sprightly against the concrete slab much akin to the ticking of clock before the comforting neon glow of a sign casts its colorful aura across her exotic facade. The Cat's Meow, eh? The flushed tip of her tongue plays at the brim of her lips as Askaree turns the idea of this new locale over in her mind, contemplating the strength of her curiosity's proverbially nudging hand before sidling through the doorway and into the hazy and dimly-lit space that lay beyond. A handful of quickly passing moments is spared in which she surveys the sensorial smorgasbord that quickly unravels before her: the dancers flouncing about in what she supposed could be considered their "costumes", the swirling mass of man-flesh just beyond the stage... a few of the more pathetic specimens nearly drooling at the display, and... praise be, the welcoming bustle anchored about a moderately well stocked bar.

The dark-haired damsel reclines against the glossed curve of the bar, the hue of her caramel skin a darkly alluring sight against the smoky luminance of the overhead lights. Motioning to the harried barkeep for the drink she intends, Askaree turns swiftly upon her heels to take in the show that seems to have captured the attention of so many.
