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.

i'm not ashamed of my scars, i'm ashamed of the world for not understanding.

After all those long cold wintery months being held up within the warmth of the Ark, Raven was ready to enjoy Spring! Spring meant that the weather would start to get warmer, the air would be clearer, and she would get a chance to feel that 'fresh start' feeling again. With spring season there came a sense of renewal. Although she was extremely tempted to go out into the fields of the South and run around she was unable to. With Spring came that impending dreadful deadline of taxes. Tax season was downright awful. Absolutely awful. Once those returns came at the end of January, Raven knew she only had so much time in order to gather the correct documents, double check the books, and ensure that everything was properly filed and filled out. The last thing Raven wanted was for them to be audited. It didn't help at all that the new tax laws were taken into effect this year So, she had to take the time first to read up on it, and work on the new changes. Tetradore was a great partner to have in this endeavor. He was a good soundboard to use as she tried to figure everything out. The only chance she had to 'enjoy' spring was when Tetradore would open the windows to his office, or when she would sneak to the top of the Ark and enjoy the fresh sea air. Tobias, sadly, was not helpful when it came to tax season. The boy was more interested in trying to play with them or keep them from their work.


Luckily though they were now officially done. All she had to do was send it through the mail on an express route. Today was Sunday though and the post office was closed. After being buried underneath mountains of paperwork. Raven was now buried underneath blankets and pillows within Tetradore's bed, the young woman hardly capable of managing to make it next door, to the bedroom she shared with her mate. Tetradore had told her earlier that day he would be getting them dinner, telling her she was free for the night, and she was quite grateful for it. Raven always felt she was responsible in ensuring they were all fed a delicious meal, no matter which kind during the day, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to uphold that standard this evening. Luckily though she didn't have to worry about it. Instead she happily fell fast asleep, as soon as her head hit the pillows. Raven woke up from the pain she was feeling from her stomach as it churned and growled in dismay, craving for food. Rising from her Alpha's bed, she turned around making it up, and proceeded out the door and down the stairs. Shuffling down the stairs in baggy torn jeans, and an oversized dark blue hoodie, with her golden-brown curly hair disheveled Raven was in no way presentable...and today it didn't matter. Blue-grey eyes would widen at the amount of food she saw within the private dining area. Looking over to her Alpha and mate she smiled softy.


"Hey guys...thank you for being responsible for dinner tonight."


Shuffling along she yawned and rubbed her eyes some, trying to get herself to wake up a little bit to have supper. Grabbing a plate she began to grab the food she wanted from those containers piling up her plate with far more food that she usually ate. Seeing an unopened container next towards her mate, a grin was thrown his way, when he pushed it towards her. He was not the type to share, ever. That he was willing to save her something she liked was quite special! With another yawn she grabbed the chopsticks nearby, and a she was about to dig in, she noticed on the other side was her Alpha's vector. With a small smile she gave him a small wave.


"Hi Henry, you look well."


It was a shame that Raven didn't recognize Alexis at first. Digging into her meal, Raven attempted over and over again to try to eat her food with those chopsticks. Usually she was good at using those tricky utensils. Annoyed she simply stabbed a piece of chicken with that stick and ate it happily. However, out of the corner of her eye she noticed Alexis. With a wide grin she placed those chopsticks down and shuffled over to her friend, happily embracing the woman. Raven had absolutely no idea at all that Alexis was now a part of their little family. Raven couldn't remember if Tetradore told her that Alexis would be coming for dinner or not, but she assumed he said something and she had forgotten.


"Alexis! It's a surprise to see you here for supper, I'm glad you were able to come."
