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.

West
She rolls over in white sheets and fluffed pillows. It had been years since she had slept in a bed not made of straw filled sheets and crafted from the man two houses down. Fingers slip against the soft fur of her companion, but his snore informs her she hasn't yet woken from his slumber. Cautiously, Aleksandra withdraws her hand, daintily, avoiding his paws now sticking too close to her.

Sneaking to the bathroom of a hotel room in pitch black isn't easy, especially for a woman unfamiliar with the typical layout. A bed in the far side of the room, a tv stand directly across, two night stands (one placed on either side of the mattress), and tile floor where the bathroom and main entrance begins, always side by side.

Her toes tickle as she stands on tile floor. Hands gliding against the cream wall and grazing the door frame. Quietly, her hands push the door to a silent close, almost positive she hears Oleg snoring on the other side.

Her reflection isn't ideal currently, but the fiery witch knows that she has always been a natural beauty. Living in a small town with "Olga's" surrounding the campsite was enough to make her stand out. Her name was lofty, her hair a vibrant shade of red, her eyes an enhanced emerald pigment, and her skin a cliché snow white. She has a little bit of bags, but nothing overwhelming. Nothing compared to the bags she sported back at camp. She came from a very poor area. And unfortunately, was forced to live with straw bedding and a stove for a heater.

Unlike this hotel that supported hot air all night, and a warm bed with millions of layers of covers.

Her hands run under the cool tap, watching the water pool in her palms before splashing her face. It occurs to her that her mother always tsked at the thought of abusing the availability of water. But here, it is different. Here she can run the tap for years and still live to see another day of water. It is different in this country. In this city.

Sometimes there was the suspicion her mother, Helinda, became so irritable with her daughter because of what she had done to her sister. Certainly father held a grudge. It wasn't her fault though. The child was a curse. A nightmare. Easily considered a mistake. Guess you could say they had it coming.

"Zey hahd eet coming, zey only hahd heem-zelf to blame," she sings at a whisper, her accent thick but her voice still angelic none the less. The old musical song just suiting for her day dreaming.

Stop singing.

His voice is thick, and masculine. His frustration evident in his tone. Aleksandra only smirks at his protest. Oh, zee poor kitt-eh, though she doesn't speak after, only lets her jungle cat fall back into his snooze.

Her makeup is a process, one she hates to endure. It starts with foundation, and then moves onto bronzers and blush. And then the fun part, enhancement. Her eyebrows had always been her strongest feature, with a thick but shaped brow, magazine worthy none the less. Then moved on to her second most recognized asset, her emerald green eyes with a suffocating unique colour to their name. And finally, her thicker lips. She always lined her top lip so her bottom didn't seem so much larger, a pet peeve of her own, and then she would dab on some mascara and consider herself done. After all, makeup had at first started out only on occasion.

Oleg, pull zee covars over your heed, she smirks before flicking on the light in the hotel room to search for clothing. A grumble shows his disproval, but she just waves her fingers in his face.

You picked that? The jaguar sighs as he yawns. By that, he refers to her black leather jacket fitted to her lack of curves, and her ripped jeans. Not the neatest or most unique, but definitely most trendy. Since leaving the poor country, Aleksandra had gotten a taste for price tags.

Up you geet you bag goof, iz time for valk," and she swings open her hotel door.

The enter the streets and Aleksandra adjusts her knee black high boots. Oleg is already off out of reach. He cannot leave her bound, not without both of them experiencing an out of this world pain, but he can go far enough that he can stalk his own prey and still be within sight of his partner. Aleksandra decides it best to just linger on the sidewalk, and let him do his thing.

As he stalks left, she parallels him by the sidewalk. She occasionally glances back at him when her eyes aren't distracted by neon lights and beautiful carved welcome signs. Her frame stops outside a weaponry, debating her long for something a little more inspiring, but she cannot leave Olegs sight, and he clearly has caught himself something. So she stands outside the weaponry, its open sign glowing in her peripheral, watching as her companion enjoys his morning breakfast.
