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.

Askaree Bint Bahar


Askaree could (and would, given the chance and a captive ear) admit hatred for quite a number of things, the list long and the items on it beautifully varied; however, few things did she loathe quite as passionately as she did having to work the floor at Arsenaal. Deliveries? Good exercise. Collections? Fairly mundane, but okay. Playing barista in the dusty labyrinth of Davante's conman's cafe? Hard fucking pass. It had been a clause of particular note within the unwritten contractual agreement of her employ, the young Egyptian having proclaimed that tolerating the lesser intellect of many of the man's clients was sufficient enough recompense without the forced confinement of the store itself. But alas, one sick sales clerk and an ill-fated phone call that should have been ignored and here she was.

The abhorrent trilling of the store's bell tugs the carmel-skinned beauty from the maniacal considerations of what she would do to Davante and Spencer as retribution for leaving her here to decay amidst the dusty shelves and paradoxically immaculately-glistening weaponry. Feigned attentiveness wilts as swiftly as it appears upon Askaree's features as she continues to busy herself with polishing the dagger that rests so comfortably within her hands, the only movement offered as recognition of the man's presence is the twitching of a single nostril as the latent aroma of his established species collides with her trained olfactory. Ugh, a fairy. It is a peculiar thing that distaste does not mar the otherwise quite stunning features of her facade at the realization. That was, until the seemingly unfortunate fellow moved to extend his needy little fairy fingers towards one of the store's more costly pieces. "Don't touch that," she commands flatly, the tone that licks at her every syllable positively dripping with the promise of retaliation should he dare proceed.
