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.

A lot of things seemed to happen all at once. She was aware of Aiden's shift beside her, even if she was confused as to why it was necessary. Even seeing Raven with blood didn't trigger the severity of the situation within her. It was only when the body of Tobi slammed into her did the girl realize that something was wrong, especially when instead of scolding Tobi, the panther collided with the wolf. "Tobi... what is..." The girl quieted quickly, the situation seeming to sink in that Raven had been trying to harm her, that Tobi and Aiden were protecting her. That now the fighting that ensued in front of her was not the play that happened inside the rings, but a real threat. Raven was her friend, someone she trusted, someone who protected her. The sudden flip didn't make sense, especially paired with the almost... non-human way that the woman felt. Her affinity seemed to seek out Raven, trying to make sense of the way the emotions felt. They weren't normal, weren't anything that made sense. They felt wild. Not Raven. This was not Raven.

"Tobi," Samantha found herself speaking out as she pressed her palms against the feline, trying to urge him to move, to stop this, to... do something. He seemed focused instead on her, his body curled around the girl as though to make a shield, and while she appreciated the protection, it did nothing to help Aiden or Raven. The two of them would tear each other apart. The girl watched in horror as the wolf seemed to lunge at the panther over and over again, the two of them scattering tables and chairs. "Tobi, do something," Her voice pleaded. But what would Tobi do? Whose side would he take? She knew he cared for Raven, that was obvious, but his loyalty to Aiden was unwavering. She could feel it, the conflicting emotions that Tobi felt as he stood his ground, focusing only on protecting her. But no, no, she didn't want his protection, especially as she watched her boyfriend be pushed off the wolf, the wolf going to bite at his shoulder and throat. She wanted to do something, to stop them, but the feline had shifted, pressing his body against hers in a way that prevented her from moving too much.

Still, that didn't stop the faerie from pressing against the cat, the full weight of her body attempting to shove him off of her, the fear that something would happen to the two animals that fought near her. The fear that Raven would hurt Aiden was nearly equal to the fear that Aiden might hurt Raven, the faerie girl hardly wanting either of them to be harmed. The girl managed to get Tobi's weight off of her enough to stand, the girl knowing full well she wasn't getting anywhere away from Tobi, and as such she didn't attempt to move other than to get a better view of the two animals that were attempting to rip each other to shreds.

It was that fear that Aiden would be harmed that caused the girl to reach down, pressing her hand firmly against Tobi's body. She hadn't practiced with the power yet, her only use of it being one in which she had affected Aiden in the worst moment possible, but if it made Tobi move â€" made him do something then it was worth it. The fear she felt for her boyfriend was an emotion she could readily draw from, the girl seeming to pour it into Tobi. "Tobi," She whispered, once she was sure that her power would have an effect on him. "Please, do something. Or let me go so that I can."
