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



"I don't care."

Minn didn't bother looking at him as she responded after the egg-smashing, busy cleaning her own hand on a kitchen towel to rid her skin of a few leftover pieces of shell and yolk. Minn had been in so much trouble in her life that this guy's threat held absolutely no value to her. She'd been to hell and back â€" or least that's what it felt like sometimes. Besides, who was going to punish her and how? Was it that Tetradore guy? Yeah, maybe. But what was the worst he could do? Kick her out of the Ark, she guessed, and she mused about the possibility for a bit as she idled about the kitchen. It wouldn't be the first time she left and it wouldn't be the end of the world, though it was convenient to have a stable home-base of sorts again. Still, the threat remained empty. If Tet was going to shoo her away from this stupid ship it should have been for stealing his bed, not for putting food to good use on a resident's head.

Apparently Tetradore seemed to be on her side though. Perhaps if Minn hadn't been so annoyed and a little more awake she would have appreciated his attempt to make up for man-child's behavior. Yet as it stood Minn couldn't really appreciate anything at the moment, seeing as her food had been taken from her and she hadn't been finished with it. Not only had her breakfast been interrupted and taken after she bothered to make it herself (which happened so goddamn rarely), but she was now being asked to cook again â€" for someone ELSE! HAH. Honestly, who were these guys? Were they serious? Were they for real? ...Did she really have to put up with this? Sort of. But gods... was it stupid.

She grumbled mentally. She grumbled under her breath. She grumbled at Tobias for tattling on her like a cub and she grumbled at Tet for requesting food. Grumble grumble grumble. It was something bears did best and she was trying so hard not to let the tired, hungry agitation explode into something she might regret. After a moment Minn took in a deep breath as she slouched against the counter, closing her eyes only very briefly to re-focus herself. Of course, it was simply breakfast oriented. She could always order in Chinese. Pizza maybe. That was about as far as she'd gotten before she found herself air born for brief moment before coming into hard, fast contact with the floor below as her stool was kicked right from under her.

"OW!"

Her back seized with a pain she hadn't felt in a long time, her sides and elbows searing sharp throbs of pain. She even hit her head a little, but it was nothing compared to the rest of what she felt.

"What the fuck!"

She stared up at man-child, incredibly indignant and pissed looking. ....This was so STUPID.

Why did she have to deal with this guy so early after waking up? Why did he feel the utter need to bother her, to take her food, and to pester the ever living shit out of her when she didn't even know him? But to pull her stool out from under her because she refused to wait on Tetradore like it was his God-given right to be waited on? The hell? Otto hadn't ever been that way. She felt her fists tighten as she pushed herself up into a sitting position, teeth grinding together as she seethed on the floor below. She felt a prodding in her mind that seemed to be Tobias's doing, but there wasn't much there to manipulate at the moment. Minn was a pretty one-tracked mind person and right now all she was seeing was red. "Tetradore is a big fucking boy," She stressed, emphasizing words, the phrase coming out in a slowly building rage. "And came make something for himself." The unfortunate thing was, under different, less bullshit circumstances, Minn probably would have been willing to share. Usually it was too much effort to put up a fight but this time it seemed she was willing to make an exception. Tet's command to leave her be and fetch her stool was wasted. Minn wouldn't really need it anymore.

She stood and automatically took a step towards Tobias, reaching out to shove him backwards quick and hard with the palms of her hands against his chest. Whether or not she was successful or how far he went didn't seem to be the goal, as she turned around and stormed towards the door immediately afterwards. She'd just really wanted to physically hit him in some way. It hadn't felt as rewarding as she would have liked. "Why does everyone here have to be such a DICK."
