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.

Nadya Tetradore



Living in the Ark for Nadya was one thing, but living in the Ark with not just one but two children who were now very much mobile was entirely different. It was a struggle to manage Micah and Izzy when they weren't in their Were forms. The bowels of the ship were a maze of steel, sharp edges, and ledges that were far too dangerous. Nadya was following Aidan's direction and taking them up to the deck in order to let them play when they became too restless within her room or if Aidan was otherwise occupying his much larger room. However, having the pair running about outside didn't work when the rain or cold drifted in. Weres may run a bit hotter than humans but they were still mortal and could feel the cold when it became too harsh. Bundling them up saved most of their body but still left red runny noses. No, she needed another option and that option was to find a way to make inside the ship...safer.

Perhaps those two things couldn't or wouldn't coincide, Ark and safety, but during the daytime hours that the rings were closed there had to be a way. Nadya was at least going to try. Jackal had gone and retrieved all the babyproofing supplies she had requested which now sat lined up in an impressive pile near the bar with one table laden with the smaller items. Nadya had set up a playpen for the twins in the middle of the floor where they were now thankfully sleeping. You would think by their position that they would be uncomfortable or that Nadya would be concerned but their bent and flopped 'fall where you are' was normal for them and any baby. "I put the caps on the doors upstairs and the wooden gate at the top..." The man placed the empty packages onto the table before motioning to the strewn pieces of a gate at the base of the staircase leading to the rooms. "The instructions on that one are...not good." While he could understand the pressure mounting of the temporary gate placed at the top of the staircase, he could not for the life of him figure out the more permanent fixture with all the mounting pieces.

"Thanks Jackal." Nadya carefully tossed the twins' baby blanket over each of them before following the man over to the gate. Try as she might though she couldn't seem to figure it out much either. The whole having a child thing seemed much easier when they couldn't go anywhere. "Where's my brother?" She glanced up from the instructions which were more child's art pictures than any real print. "In his room I believe." "Can you get him please?" Jackal looked hesitant at Nadya's request but nodded nonetheless and ascended the stairs towards the pack leaders room. After Nadya had come across Frost attacking Jackal she had carried him back to the Ark infirmary. While the doctor had been summoned she had shifted and cupped his small canine head in her hands, pressing her lips delicately to the top of his forehead, allowing her healing ability to heal what it could. Nadya had taken off shortly after that to avoid her brother, who would no doubt be at the doctors heels, and his line of questioning of which her internal conflict had already been a mess about. She had eased his pain and shortened his natural healing time and it had changed the dynamic a bit between them. Now she no longer avoided speaking to him at all costs and nightly helped him gather bets ringside and he...well he was about to knock on his boss' door unsure if he was going to be waking the King of the West.

Cautiously Jackal knocked on the door of Tet's room. "Señor?" Even more so carefully did Jackal twist the white doorknob baby lock in order to crack open the door. "Señor? Nadya is asking for you. She is wanting to put things up for the niños."
