West

The western part of the city is often home to the poorer residents. Here there is a grunginess that permeates the town from the graffiti on the once cleaned brick buildings to the broken and unmaintained architecture. Crime runs high within the western half of town, making it the home of supernatural gangs of illicit activities. Such activities are rarely reported, however, and most residents are distrustful of individual's of authorities, and often let the powerful supernatural beings sort things out amongst themselves. Be careful wandering the Western streets after the sun falls.

Black Market

Just like any city - Sacrosanct is not without it's deep, dark underbelly. Hidden in the graffiti-ridden streets of the West, behind closed warehouse doors, lies the Black Market. Forever moving, it's nearly impossible to find without knowing someone who knows someone. Anything you desire can be brought for a hefty price within the Black Market - be it drugs, weapons, or lives.

What You'll Find Here

Edge of the Circle

Cull & Pistol

Hidden within the dark alleyways of the Western Ward, Cull & Pistol is a dim, often smoky bar. With a small variety of bottled and craft beers, Cull & Pistol is a quaint little neighborhood joint. With its no-frills moto, the dingy bar offers little more than liquor, music from an old jukebox, and a few frequently occupied pool tables.

Bartender Raylin Chike

Noah's Ark

Resting upon the harbor, Noah's Ark (known simply as The Ark) is a sleek superyacht known both for its fight rings and recent...renovations, of sorts. Accessible from an entrance hidden in the shadows, The Ark is a veritable Were-playground that specializes in fighting tournaments for all creatures great and small. With both singles and doubles tournaments to compete in, the title of Ark Champion is hotly contested amongst the Were population. If anything illegal is going on in the city it's sure to be happening within the back rooms or behind the ring-side bar. Note: This is a Were only establishment. All other species will be swiftly escorted out.

Syn

Within the turbulent industrial district lies this club. The warehouse doesn't look like much on the outside but it provides a memorable experience from the state of the art lighting, offbeat Victorian-inspired artwork, comfortable black leather lounges, and the infamous 'black light' room. There is a wide variety of alcohol that lines the shelves of both of the magical and ordinary variety. It is a common stomping ground for the supernatural who want to let loose and dance the night away to the music that floods the establishment. Humans are most welcome if they dare.

There was a psychological reason that the girl decided to change. It was an impulse. It was a way to allow her to feel comfortable, she would prefer fur over flesh. Whatever was going on between Nadya and Tobi, whatever suffering they were performing on the other emotionally and mentally it was getting to the she-wolf. Always she was a quiet soul, barely feeling an extreme mix of emotions at one time, but she was unknowingly absorbing the pain they were inflicting on one another. Tobi's chaos ability, which she was unaware of, was causing Nadya to experience absolute annoyance and anger. Whereas Nadya's pheromone capability was self-harming herself and Tobi playing with hormones. It was enough to make the quiet girl feel so unhinged that the only way she could cope without screaming would be to simply change. Although being in such a smaller form wasn't really what she had in mind, but with Tobi being far too rough to Nadya she had to check up on her somehow, without feeling unhinged. Blue-grey eyes narrowed as she looked at the stitches noticing how they weren't holding together as before, apparently Tobi had been far more roughed than she realized. Hearing his voice ram into her mind caused her to cringe not liking the yelling as he swatted her away, scampering to hide behind Nadya, peering around barking in protest as she fell to the floor. Curling into a light ball she would whimper softly feeling the pain of his rough tongue scraping Nadya's skin as he tore one stitch out causing the girl to give out a sharp cry. As Tobi picked her up her front paws would swipe at him, her growl she assumed sounded ferocious when really it sounded harmless and adorable, losing her capability of being intimidating. She was not amused with his hands roaming over her that she would snap her jaws left and right only growing still as soon as she was in Nadya's hands, running quickly away as soon as she was set down. Managing to place herself between the two her eyes would close as she focused on changing back to human. The protection of fur wasn't enough to keep her mind and emotions in check, and since she could still feel physical pain there was no use left, but to bring order to this chaotic cluster-fuck.

"Stop, just stop, both of you. Nobody touch anyone and nobody yell at anyone. I can feel both of your emotions, you two are suffering over something and I'm experiencing it all."

The now clothed curly-haired woman stood quite rigid between the two. Blue-grey eyes narrowed as a humanoid snarl came out of her. Fists began to shake as overwhelming toil of emotions began to overflow causing her mind to twist. Unable to contain it all much longer she was sure she was ready to snap on both of them. It was not common for her to be so, explosive, but feeling their disturbing chaotic emotions was difficult to control and obviously become a struggle to accept. Taking a deep breath to remind herself to find that softer side, she would turn her body towards Tobi, meaning to have his attention, but to also help him stay away from Nadya. Her tone held some pain as she desperately tried to keep her voice soft, knowing it was best in this situation to discuss things with the unhinged cat.

"Tobi, you when you touch others it is rough...far too rough, so you cannot touch Nadya. Whatever happens to her, I feel her pain. Look as she digs her nails into her arm...."

She would raise her left arm, pulling back the sleeves ignoring the rakes of scars that happened to travel up and down the top of her arm, as she turned her arm in a manner so that Tobi could see the bottom of her arm, that creamy white flesh exposed. She would turn her head around, blue-grey eyes searching for the lighter eyes silently asking the girl to perform the act. She needed him to see an example thinking perhaps he would finally understand what she and Nadya had been warning him about all along. Clenching her teeth, she turned her head back to Tobi, that creamy white flesh of her arm began to have four long scratch marks tearing skin as some blood began to seep through, understanding that Nadya was digging her nails as hard as she could, catching on to what the troubled curly-haired woman desired. Absorbing the pain from Nadya through this process she would speak a little bit softer keeping her arm up for Tobi to see.

"Notice how her arm isn't marked...but mine is...? I don't know why it is happening. Why don't you eat that raw fish and shrimp I left out for you while I re-stich Nadya."

She would lift her other arm pointing towards the table that seemed to still have the plate of raw shrimp and fish she had prepared for him, knowing his schedule perhaps far too better than his own pack mate. Hoping he'd focus on the meal waiting for him, rather than being a pain in Nadya's and her side, she would move towards Nadya gesturing towards the chair for the woman to sit in. Grabbing the first aide kit she'd set it down beside the woman, grabbing the similar tools she had used before, only now it would be a new clean set, pulling the gloves on as she got on her knees, fingers gently testing each stitch. With a very soft whimper she'd start to stitch Nadya's side putting in a few more to help keep everything intact, her long nimble fingers gliding over her skin easily, but every now and then she'd have to pause taking slow breaths as sweat began to appear on her forehead. Her body was traumatized by all means and she knew very well that this was something she just could not continue anymore. She had absolute no idea how to turn this curse off. As soon as she was done stitching Nadya up she would dump the trash in a special bag inside the kit, before closing it and locking it up, using the kit to bring herself up back to her feet. Her strained voice would seep out through her lips, as one hand clutched her agonizing sore side, blue grey eyes focused on Nadya for a moment, knowing she could at least understand what she was saying.

"I don't think I can keep this pain I feel from both of you any longer...you and I both need rest."

Slowly she would lift her shirt wincing as she noticed how bruised and deep red her side was, new indentions of the stitches she had just put into Nadya began to appear raw. Tobi and Nadya's emotional recklessness still roamed in the back of her mind not helping to relieve the physical pain she was experiencing right now. Folding her arms across her chest she would look helplessly at the two, brow furrowed with concern as she beseeched the two to change their actions, for her sake.

"I know I don't mean anything to you two, and I know I am not pack, but can you two please...just please calm down and not hurt one another?"
