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 slouched against the wall debating on giving him more space and returning to the kitchen or even downstairs into the warehouse to continue her training. Instead she remains, her arms looped around her knees, her head resting against the wall. The assassin wasn't entirely sure as to why she reacted the way she did. First and foremost, the woman was merely embarrassed at being caught that she had researched the man in her library. She truly had no idea she would see him again, the rational side of her told her to take him and dump him somewhere, yet she had brought him home with her.
Clenching her jaw at her childish ideals of having a normal life, she breathes heavily through her nose, cursing herself in the process. Letting her head fall forward, she's surprised to hear the door open gently and Will appear in front of her. Flicking her eyes up towards his handsome face, she watches him kneel before her, his hand gently caressing her chin. It takes her a moment to meet his eyes but finally she does and her breath catches in her throat. Vhalla can't help but trace the strong lines of his features, the man was undoubtedly beautiful and the assassin still contemplated every moment of the day how she had become entangled in his life.
Still, she watches that smile stretch across his face and she can't help but return a small one in return. When he withdraws his hand her chin feels suddenly cold as she turns to watch him slide down the wall next to her, "You're going to tear open your wounds again," she scolds him gently, though there is no bite behind words, simply a worried expression trailing across her features. The assassin is about to protest once again but is pulled into his lap unexpectedly, though she doesn't relax into him as quickly as she did before, she eventually does. Sighing, she allows the kiss he plants on her forehead as she settles against him, enjoying the feeling of his arms wrapped around her.
Was it such a bad thing to want to feel protected and safe?
Vhalla lets he eyes fall close momentarily as she smiles while he begins to share his personal life with her. "Georgiana," she lets the name roll off her lips, "That's such an old name," she states simply, though not in an insulting way. "Why would you hate your sister being engaged to your best friend?" she asks curiously, shifting in his lap to look at him, her blue eyes meeting his. While she waits for a response she suddenly wary as the conversation begins to turn in a new direction. "I think we both need to focus on futures." It was at this sentence that has Vhalla instantly stiffening in his arms, her gaze hardening as she throws a mental barrier up between William and herself.
Far away she notices the shy nervous smile playing on his features but she shoves it the deepest darkest corner of her mind, not allowing to notice his mannerisms at the moment. Instead, a fit of fear boils through her body as she screams inside her head, no, no, no, no! Keeping a tight clamp on her emotions, she shoves out of his arms and stands before him, a cool almost cruel sneer twists her features into something entirely different. The face of an assassin. Looking down her nose at him she allows an amused smirk to dance on her lips while she screams at him through her mind, "It's not true, don't believe me!"
"I don't know what you thought this might be, Will," she sneers down at him, "This is nothing, you are nothing to me," she responds deathly quietly, before turning on a heel and walking down the hallway, "I was simply looking for a good fuck, however you're fairly inadequate at the moment given your wounds. Feel free to let yourself out," she calls over her shoulder before disappearing around the corner.
The assassin could not despise herself any more than she already did.
