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.

Vhalla was known for loud entrances, not only were they loud, but dramatic too. It was a flare she added on when she began taking jobs, it made her known in the underbelly of the city and she didn't mind the wary looks she received when she prowled through the streets after dusk. So, of course when she slams the door open with more force than necessary she wants to snag the worker's attention. Then again, simply opening the door with the bell attached to it would have had the same outcome but what was the fun in that?
The assassin strolls through the aisles admiring the latest models of the firearms, she did not enjoy the ruckus a gun caused, plus they were easily more trackable especially if you had a specific type of gun. Vhalla rather enjoyed the close combat with her daggers, her targets never saw her coming; she had to admit though, having a gun would make some jobs a lot easier. Who didn't like a challenge though? Finally, finishing her inspection of the weapons, she moves through the store confidently towards the fellow behind the counter and as she leans against it a feral smile stretching across her lips, she's delighted to see the hint of surprise by the way he raises his brows.
This only makes her grin a touch wider. Watching him lazily, like a cat would regard a mouse, she listens to the excuse that flows from his lips. Chuckling quietly, she walks her hand across the counter towards the supernatural in such a casual manner that when she stops at the edge of the glass, inches away from him and bats her lashes at him, certainly not in a seductive way, more dangerous than anything. Then, she suddenly trails her fingers up his tie, letting the silky material slide through her scarred fingers. It would take all but one tug to send his face into the counter, but instead she pats his chest and releases his tie. Withdrawing her hand back into her bubble, she straightens and returns the pointed look he gives her, "Now, let's not be that way, Spencer," she flashes him a smile.
Yes, Vhalla made it a point to get as much information out of her supplier as possible, it was easy enough into bullying the man into giving names and locations. It still irritated her to no end that the man had abandoned his post and fled the city. Coward. "Let's get one thing straight, I am here solely for your job that is done in dark alleys and abandoned warehouses. If you would like to play games then so be it, I should warn you that I am a very patient woman, however, today is not one of those days," she comments dryly. The assassin had a sinking feeling this man was not someone she could bully information out of unless she tortured the bastard. Something she did not want to do today.
Her daggers in her boots suddenly felt heavy. Today was not a day she wanted to end in violence yet the assassin knew she would to get what she wants. "Tell you what, I can see you're almost closed here. Perhaps you can accompany to one of those shady alleys when you get off?" she offers a lazy smile and leans against the counter again, eyes darting down to the newspaper. It had suddenly occurred to her that this man seemed a bit more old school, something she rather appreciated. Letting a hand snake out and snatch the paper, she flips it open and begins to scan the paper, ignoring Spencer entirely, "Don't worry about me, I'll just wait right here until you finish with your rush," she mumbles over the paper and has half a mind to snag his cup until she realizes it's tea he's drinking.
Wrinkling her nose in disgust at the mug, she walks towards the end of the counter so she's out of the way, and spreads the paper out, leaning with both elbows on the table as she twirls the length of her braid around her fingers.
