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.

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.

As much as Sebastian perhaps hated to admit it to himself, the prospect of stealing the fairy King away to London on such an excursion was altogether a delightfully tempting notion. He was far more taken to the fairy then he usually would have allowed himself to become and the prospect of having to man entirely to himself for nearly two weeks was almost too good of a prospect to pass up. Weather or not Dorian knew exactly what he was agreeing too, Sebastian wasn't entirely sure but, for a brief moment in time, he allowed himself to be fooled enough by the idea that his companion didn't terribly hate spending such extended time with him, even if the invitation was accepted only by politeness. Still, the vampire hardly dwelled on the topic for any considerable amount of time, instead stooping down to pick up the young woman who had fallen at his feet. His gaze turned back towards his companion as the card was thrust back within his general direction, his cerulean gaze briefly brushed over the address before Sebastian nodded ever so slightly, his head tilting upwards with a momentary thought before he stepped within the direction he thought would put them on the street indicated. At the very least, his life style gave him a rather intimate knowledge of the city his occupied.
Sebastian led them down the more favorable streets within the Western side that might lead them towards the girl's home. He hardly attempted any real small talk - such had never really been his forte after all. The men were taught not to pry, such gossip was a woman's business and without conversational pieces such as hunting in the King's forest or the latest numbers of the deaths of peasants, there was decidedly little to say. Regardless of his sudden muteness, however, Sebastian was entirely aware of the man at his side, just as he too was aware of the girl nestled closely against his chest. It was silly, perhaps, that he almost wished the pair switched places with Dorian instead in his arms and the girl walking beside him and yet, somehow, the fairy King managed to create such curious wants from the Englishman. The sudden brush against his shoulder, however, readily drew Sebastian from his silly daydreams, his darkly hued gaze turned immediately to the man at his side, a soft smile touched his lips in the process. Sebastian nearly found himself addicted to Dorian's touch, the smallest of caresses saw him wanting more and while that alone was not entirely unusual for the man, this was somehow completely different then that lust the generally occupied his life (though really it wasn't often he lusted for his victims either).
Dorian's words, however, certainly served to capture Sebastian's attention, his lips parted almost immediately to answer though scarcely a syllable left his lips before he felt Dorian's fingertips brush against his neck in a caress that made his skin feel warm even after Dorian's fingers left. He was painfully aware of the sensation of the fairy's fingertip as they traced a trail down his sleeve and down towards his wrist and for a moment, Sebastian shifted the girl in his arms to allow Dorian's touch to linger.
He knew well what Dorian was doing - managing that which so few had even attempted before. Though really it was scarcely a surprise, after all, once upon a time this was very much how their world worked - the subtle touches that brushed against fabric to suggest more that was not provided. It was an art form he still deployed on the regular and one his body reacted too as readily as it had all those centuries ago - aching with desire for the fairy's touch.
Thankfully, Sebastian was spared too much more of Dorian's teasing simply because, well, they had arrived to their destination. The vampire paused in his footsteps, his gaze slowly leaving his companion if only to glance at the shabby brick faced apartment building the stood in front of.
