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 are survivors, they're coming home



Minn didn't understand why the world seemed set on sending her people who liked to try and give her shit.

She just couldn't catch a fucking break. What did this guy want from her? She'd given back the little metallic ...looking... thing... that had actually proven to be an explosive and here he is, critizing her drooling habits instead of just being grateful she hadn't blown them up into ten thousand itty bitty pieces on accident. Her lips pursed in protest, her jaw setting just a little tighter. A barn. Feh. Minn could have easily snapped back, told him no, she hadn't grown up in barn. She'd grown up on the streets. Close enough, you fuck? Barns were for cows and horses, anyways. Not bears, and certainly not her. She'd never even seen one in real life before but television, when available, was great for shit like that. Sometimes there'd even be a broken toy or two of a pig or chicken laying around the garbage in those kid-friendly neighborhoods. Minn never really gave them much thought. The tossed away applesauce, however...

Her nose wrinkled, both elbows coming to rest on the smeared counter top as she looked down at the exploding ball again. Size had nothing to do with potency, huh? Kinda cool. As jerk-ish as this guy was he seemed to know a lot, which was neat, and he hadn't tried to kick her out yet. That was a plus. Besides, it wasn't often she came across something nearly as interesting as a weapon shop in her general day to day life. Still, something seemed a little... fishy. Like he was trying too damn hard to hide shit in plain sight. His shop, the explosive - why? "So what are you, anyways? One of those magician people?" He didn't smell nearly as dangerous as a vampire or Hunter, and though Minn had never personally had anything to do with witches and warlocks it was a half hazard guess she was willing to toss out there. Wait - they were beyond the whole 'there's nothing actually different about me' stage, right? It was going to be awkward if they weren't. He'd pretty much given up that excuse when she'd stumbled across his weapon gold-mine and she'd given it up when she'd decided to spit back up an explosive still in tact.

But no. Instead he has to pick on her again, complaining about the drool and threatening her with the very bomb she'd just eaten. Minn rolled her eyes and pulled her arms away from the counter in order to tug upwards on one of her jacket sleeves, using it to wipe at the counter and clean off the silver colored ball. If she didn't care about actually getting either clean, it certainly showed. It might have turned out better if she hadn't of tried at all. "There. Happy?" She gave him a dull, unamused look before seeming to forget the explosive and the smudged counter all at once as something more interesting seemed to catch her eye behind him. "Hey, what's back there?"

Without much warning she moved towards the only open space between the glass counters and ducked over onto the other side, peering around at the shelves and desks and whatever else might be on her way towards the back room. She couldn't help but poke and prod at everything as she went - touching paper work and picking up small keys and holding them dangerously close to her mouth as she moved along. Minn chewed idly on a key ring as she finally reached the open back door, stopping in the doorway to peer a little inside without actually moving forward. "More guns and swords? What about food?" She asked casually, turning to look back at Jerk-man before frowning a bit when she realized something. "What's your name, anyhow?"
