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
Cull & Pistol
Noah's Ark
Syn
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.
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.

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.

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.

It is one of the few things the boy truly relishes in, these moments within the ring allowing him a complete and totally engagement of his animalistic side. There is no wrong to be had, his purpose singular and defined, his fractured mind adoring this sense of simple purpose. The manner in which he moves with such fluid intuition beside Tetradore is surely the reason the pair have lingered atop the Doubles Leaderboard so long, each so wholly attuned to the other and yet- this is the manner in which they have always fought. For all his perceived insanity, for all the inability of so much of the world to perceive the boy as anything other then crazed - he is a dangerously perceptive opponent, his threat made double by Tetradore's presence. The pair in sync unlike any other and it is this so many of those in the crowd have come to see tonight. It was rare any reached so high as to challenge them, the crowd tonight having swelled in ready anticipation of it and yet the match itself barely lasted longer then a few moments before the roars of the big cats readily drowned out the roar of applause. It is with ready satisfaction that the spotted creature brushes against his panther companion, head pressed to Tetra's own a moment in an affectionate head-butt between the pair before his blood spatted form lunges out of the ring, leaving Tetradore to collect their prize as the gangly Leopard glides smoothly into the crowd.
There is a distinct note of...swagger to his stride, head and tail lifted in the ready dominance of both his position within the Ark as it's co-ruler and pride within his victory, the congratulations of the crowd earning a satisfied purr from the boy as they moved to part for him. For a moment those golden eyes peer about, rapidly seeking Birdie- his female companion normally the first to greet him after any victory, tail lashing in momentary disapproval at her absence before his powers are readily engaged. His ability to find anything he seeks near instantly assures him of the location of his girlfriend, form lunging suddenly towards the stairs that lead upward, past his and Tetradore's thrones and towards the bedrooms and staff quarters. Heavy, blood-stained paws pad silently across the polished floorboards as he approaches, a single leap seeing the boy land atop the balcony rail as he wanders closer. He is below only Tetradore in rank, above all others and his body language surely speaks of it, golden gaze intrigued, surely and yet wary all the same of this other Leopard. A rumblingly growl of sorts rises within his throat, announcing himself, tail flicked outward to brush along his Birdie in greeting before he comes to stand above the other leopard.
For a moment he simply remains silent, head tilting from left to right in clear curiosity before one paw suddenly extends towards the snow leopard beneath him, hovering, before he abruptly brings it down upon her in a near playful bat of sorts. This, for reasons unknown, seems to bring about an amused huffing sound from his lips, the Leopard form of a snicker as he continues to balance upon the railing, the silver wolf medallion around his neck flashing briefly in the light.
Girl is.....like Tobi....but.....fluffy.....like....the cloud that bites.
That he has, it would seem, noted the difference between his spotted pelt and the thicker, fluffier form of her own is clearly evident, this an obvious point of curiosity and yet what a 'cloud that bites' is remains entirely to be seen.
Girl....does not....belong.....up here...no...no......must go....or Tobi.....drop overboard. Yes.
His lips pull upward into something of a grin, bloodied teeth flashed towards her and yet whether this is a threat, or simply his idea of amusement remains to be seen, his words seemingly entirely pleasant and offered with a seeming ease.
Does girl....want to....play in ring?
Those golden eyes rest upon her now, clearly anticipating her response, the boy a decidedly nonsensical creature, his words a struggle, forced and yet offered all the same. That he is clearly not.....normal has surely become apparent.
madness, as you know, is like gravity: all it takes is a little push
