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.

It is the scent perhaps, that so seems to attract the volatile cat as he lingers within the door of the warehouse, seeming to taste the air for moment, the pungent scent of the makeup masking the woman's normal odour and as such seeming to displease to often irritable man. For a moment or so he simply continues to linger before his natural curiosity seems to see the dark-eyed man wander into the tangle of shadows that so dictate her warehouse home. Bare feet move silently upon the staircase as he wanders towards his chosen companion, watching the woman beneath lashings of dark hair before moving to step into the light. Dark eyes fall readily onto the table before her, flicking over the assortment of jars and containers, the smell alone seeing his features wrinkle slightly in disapproval though indeed he remains where he stands, seemingly unwilling to approach any further. He has never seen makeup before, fails to understand at all what the curly-haired woman is doing, continuing to eye the table with clear suspicion before shifting slightly closer, eyeing the products warily before she proceeds to rub one particular cream into her scared arm. That she may very well be attempting to mask her scars is entirely lost upon the creature, such marks never truly having bothered him, the boy indeed rarely given to notice them. He simply does not see them, does not notice them, his mind unable to truly perceive any conventional understanding of beauty and as such her perceived imperfections are invisible to him- even before her attempts at make-up.

"What is...Birdie doing?"

He shifts closer still, the woman sure to have noticed him by now, his reflection behind her clear within the mirror as he moves at last to stand at her side, reaching carefully forward to brush his fingers over a container of powdery blush before reaching eagerly for the lipstick that sits upon the far side. His free hand moves to scratch momentarily at the left side of his neck, fingers brushing over the discoloured skin, unusually pale, very near white against his naturally tanned tone- as if the colour itself has been bleached away, the scar still red around the edges, itchy, unable to heal from the acid used to create it and yet the boy seems hardly perturbed by this single blemish upon himself as he moves to eagerly open the lipstick- biting down upon it mere moments later as if it is a favoured candy. This is, he is sure, the exact purpose of lipstick despite Nadya's assurance it was not, the man assured the female panther is given to lie to him, mistrustful of her words and as such remains entirely content to consume this lipstick as he had Isolt's and Davante's in turn. He continues to linger behind the woman, continuing to snack upon the lipstick, his face once more a bloodied massacre of colour, head tilting and turning every now and then in response to one sound or another, tensing slightly at any sound given to be unusual the man having become....protective over his female companion, the incident with the car having seen him become even more so, unwilling to allow her from his sight for entirely too long, forever seeming to linger within her shadow- though how often she is aware of him remains to be seen.

The empty lipstick container is tossed haphazardly over his shoulder, hands reaching now for the woman's arms, fingers tracing the cream upon her forearm, leaving a trail upon her skin before his features contort into a frown once more, head tilting slightly before understanding seems to dawn upon his features at last.

"Birdie is....painting?"

This new revelation seems to delight the boy entirely, reaching now for the cream she had used mere moments ago, quite content to squeeze the vast majority of it into his hands, proceeding to rub it along both his arms with a delighted grin before reaching now for the container of blush and concealer. This item proves entirely more difficult for his mind to understand, fingers running through the powdery substance once more before a sneeze suddenly seems to overcome him, blush exploding into the air, showering them both entirely in the creamy coloured powder before he proceeds to toss it aside with much the same carelessness as he did the lip-stick. This new game, it would seem, delights him entirely, the young man oblivious to the true nature in which makeup is intended, entirely unaware it is surely meant for girls as several bottles of nail polish are eagerly grabbed, lids unscrewed, a metallic pink clutched within his hand as he suddenly points upward.

"Birdie- look!"

He waits, as always, for the woman to look upward before up ending a metallic, fluoro pink bottle of nail polish into hair with a delighted snicker, an equally neon blue already smeared threw his own before a container a container of dark bronzer somehow ends up over the both of them, his fingers dipped into a bottle of mascara before he proceeds to finger paint the majority of his face having successfully transformed himself into a rather colourful drag queen within the space of five minutes, Birdie having rapidly begun to resemble a rather cheap hooker as his fingers brush across her own face 'painting' a rather lovely mix of black and red- coloured war paint right across her face as he simply grins.

"Now is...time to go."

He merely reaches to snatch her hand, evidently oblivious to his own outrageous appearance along with that of the woman, clearly utterly unconcerned with social norms in regards to dress, dragging to the poor girl out onto the street beside them, a late night fisherman shouting in surprise before rapidly retreating at the sight of the pair as Tobias simply grins once more.

"Hunting...time now. Where....is the....fish?"

Well- at least no one will be looking at her scars. Only the Drag Queen and the Lady of The Night whom are about to proceed to rob a boat.
