South

The southern part of the city has a chic family-oriented sort of charm to it. Here, small locally owned shops run rampant, neighbors often know each other by name, and the monthly socials are an event not to be missed. In the South, children can often be seen safely playing in the park or on sidewalks and in the weekends, families often take to the beach to enjoy the warm waters surrounding the city.

Ascension Center of Equitation

The Ascension Center of Equitation is the epicenter of the Dark Hunter Cavalry Unit. Originally a high-class facility for show-jumping, Ascension now caters entirely to the Cavalry Unit. Here the Dark Hunters learn how to ride and fight upon the backs of horses - many of which are Were's themselves.

Hyde Park

Hyde Place takes up a large part of the Southern side of the city and includes a large playground, several fountains, and a small garden. The park is open from five in the morning till midnight though many shady characters may visit this place while it's technically "closed". The park has also been a venue for several concerts and hosts many holiday-related events. Under a full moon, witches are often seen here for the sacred ground beneath the iconic Weeping Beech.

Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium

The Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium (PDZA) is an award-winning combined zoo and aquarium located within the Southern Part of Sacrosanct. Situated on 92 acres in Sacrosanct's Hyde Park, the zoo and aquarium are home to over 9,000 specimens representing 367 animal species. Point Defiance is also widely known for its conversation efforts regarding the breed and release program of Red Wolves.

The Outskirts

Beyond the city limits and over the bridge lies the deep, dark, and almost impenetrable forest. Often seen as a way to guard this magical city against the world that surrounds it, many are entirely ignorant of the evil that may creep between those tree trunks. Many were-creatures use the forest for the transformations of their newest members and some even take to hunting here. It isn't particularly peculiar for people to go missing within this forest but once you get through, the rest of the world awaits.

The University of Sacrosanct offers some of the top programs in the nation with its outstanding campus and specialized faculty. The University places a high focus both upon educating future generations but also on research to help revolutionize the world.

"So many questions and yet you never answered any of mine. No fun." She nearly pouted and yet such a look on a masculine face would hardly suit man's appearance she wore. Not that it mattered. Morgan's skinsuit didn't quite evoke the reaction that she had been hoping for, not that she had fully expected for him to buy it. She had gone in blind after all. What was he even doing out in this secluded place, intently watching the hired help? Surely there was more at play here and Morgan was bored enough to satisfy her curiousity.

"You weren't staring then?" She questioned briefly, knowing very well that he had been staring at the human and not her. Not even though she mascaraed in his skin. No matter how strikingly alike they appeared, she could not fool her own species. She could not suddenly gain a heartbeat, or warm her cool flesh. It still did not account that he had been blissfully unaware that she had been 'watching' him. 'Studying' him and he hadn't even known! But a mind like hers needed something to fixate on.

Even though the charade was up before it truly began, the shapeshifter didn't bother to relent her current form. That question as to why she had accused him of staring was an easy enough question to answer.

"You are only pretending to read the paper, trust me, I know when someone is reading the paper... Although, I don't understand why you old ones do that when you have access to anything you want at the touch of a button. Google is a miraculous invention. You're also facing a dumpster, intent to watch a man that looks like me.. take out the trash..." Her voice took on an American accent as if not fully giving up the guise. She had learned many over the years in the effort to fit in and yet she was always so unique that she rarely ever could.. But the accent she summoned was a simple task, only needing to think it and it was there. Although, she never tired listening to her voice influenced by those uniquely manipulated vocal cords that belonged to this specific form. No form took on the same voice and this particular male she had stolen did not sound at all like she had expected him to. His voice possessed a far deeper baritone, smooth like she could enjoy listening to him talk.. even though nothing else about that worker seemed remarkable.

It wasn't commonplace that she took the shape of a male.. it always felt... odd. Having extra parts that felt unnatural and all the pieces that went along with it. No longer interested in standing, she suddenly spun around abruptly, almost like a pirouette of sorts. All to face the direction of the dumpster along with him, the action itself was almost as feminine as her original form. All before daintily lowering her form onto the bench that the other vampire was sitting on. How did men sit with those things between their legs? Some male forms were easier than others. But why did the shapeshifter linger? Or why she chose to encroach upon the ancient vampire's space. It would have been easier to move on and find someone else to entertain herself with beyond her own kind. Especially one who didn't wish to give her an inch. She eyed the truly unimpressive arms of the man attached to her body, going so far to even flex the muscles, contracting her outstretched long, boney fingers. Morgan was amazed he was able to lift those heavy garbage bags so easily. She then brushed at her masculine jaw, feeling the unusual stubble even through those callused fingertips of working hands. She found she liked stubble... Hm.

She shifted again.. unable to find comfort on that bench. Mimicking men was so much harder to do for her and yet she rarely let that stop her. A frown nestled upon the shapeshifter's features as she studied the ancient vampire beside her, wondering how he did it. Morgan studied his laid-back posture and attempted to do the same, leaning back and spreading her legs into very much the same position he had. That made it much easier to sit, although she still needed to reposition several times just to get it right, unsure where men liked to place their hands. She settled on folding them neatly into her lap after she finished touching her face and sharp jaw.

Peering forward, she looked from the same perspective as the man beside her. To see what he could see. "Looks like a whole lot of nothing to me.. I wonder what makes the guy with noodle arms so fascinating. Okay, I give up. Will you tell me?" She questioned on a frown, not exactly being the most particular on her questioning.

Maybe it was time to find a new pastime.
