East

The east side of the city is the very heart of Sacrosanct - it's unique skyline is a clash between modern sky rises and small Victorian-inspired storefronts. In the heart of downtown, the sleek colored glass buildings reign supreme though their old-world roots can be seen in the most peculiar places from the lamp post styled electric street light to the stone sidewalks. The old world architecture slowly returns the further from downtown you travel, however. It's here that magic thrives, it hums in every stone and can be felt in every breath. Often, newcomers to the city may become overwhelmed by such sensations but, eventually, it becomes an ever-present feeling that's hardly noticed.

Harper looked odd for a minute when Malia told her about Abigail and how they should compete to see who was cutest in their Were form, but the moment passed and Malia was over it, onto the next subject. Maybe she didn't want to have a competition? That was cool. Malia totally wouldn't push for it. Abigail might not want to, anyway. Harper seemed to find it shocking how Malia found out she could turn back human, though. She nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it was pretty traumatizing. I couldn't remember ever being so scared. I'm glad Henry was with me." When Harper asked about Henry, Malia smiled and nodded again. "Yeah, I don't think he knew anything about Were's until that night. He found me and took it all in stride. Took me back to his place, showed me how to bathe, etc. He ended up showing me the majority of how to be human."

She had so much to thank him for. He took her in without a second thought and showed trust when he didn't have to. She certainly wasn't easy to get along with that night. She was terrified and overwhelmed. She spilled beer on his floor and almost ate all the raw meat in his freezer. She was sure the neighbors probably wanted to call the cops for all the noise she made in his apartment. She wasn't exactly quiet that night because a voice was altogether new to her. That's why Henry was her best friend and always would be. And now she had Harper too! Maybe they should meet some day. That would be cool.

Harper really made her day when she said that they had so much to do. Malia's eyes lit up with excitement. "You're right!" And she couldn't wait to get started. When Harper suddenly pulled her toward her with an arm around her, Malia tensed at first, not used to such gestures, but as soon as she heard Harper whisper something about not getting a driver's license, she scowled thoughtfully. "Driver's license? What's that?" There was still plenty in the human world she didn't know about and it's not like Frost was going to allow her to drive any time soon. She was quick to follow in the other girl's footsteps when she was released, showing her the way to the arcade.

As soon as they stepped in, Malia's gaze went to the girl at her side, watching her eyes light up as she looked around. The WereCoyote grinned knowingly, thinking back to her first time walking in. As Harper grabbed her arm and started to gush, she couldn't help but laugh. She followed as the other Were moved from game to game, looking at them all. The excitement was contagious. She moved off to get them some coins before returning to find the other girl looking at some more of the games. Dangling a coin in front of her face, she grinned at her. "Whatcha want to play first?"
