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
Cull & Pistol

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.

It was not in her nature as a young pup to be so meek, but over time she was beaten to react to others in such a compliant way. Alpha blood could only go so far. With the emotional and mental damage that was done to her constantly at such a young age, seeing the woman with disapproval in her dark eyes as the clothes fell to the floor caused the curly-haired woman to avert her eyes. She didn't understand fashion and only saw clothes as just being, clothes, not aware that certain items would portray some sort of meaning. She did not have any close female friends or a Mother while growing up, so she never had the proper guidance. Even though she had a limber, lithe frame she was well endowed for a woman, and it was clear that her clothes would swallow the injured feline. Hearing the low grumbles coming from the girl, a flush of red flashed to her cheeks mortified. Well aware of the disdain the other had for providing her with simple clothes, her nimble fingers would begin to knot together. Her teeth bit her pale pink lips as she stuttered softly, explaining to the woman why the textiles she chose were with some reason- even if it was a foolish one.
"I-I can't do dresses or corsets...n-not pretty enough."
Really the young woman could go off and buy herself a dress or two, but she was too mortified and ashamed about the scars that marked her flesh up and down. Not all dresses were meant to cover everything up and leave some of the mystery of a woman's figure. As for a corset, well, she was far too modest to wear such a garment out in public. Why Nadya couldn't extend some sort of gratitude was like a Heavens To Betsy to the curly-haired woman. It was complete beyond the timid woman's understanding and so she would let it slip. Even though she wanted to inform the woman that wearing a corset, especially in public, would give others the wrong impression. Yet she was not her pack nor friend and so her wise advice would fall on deaf ears, and she was sure, she'd get a good smack in the face in retaliation. So, with the now dressed girl in tow she would lead her into the kitchen getting to work on the preparation for supper. Quietly she would work on the meal, setting the rice in, grabbing a few spices here and there to put in the rice, taking the knife and slamming it through the corn and placing the contents into the rice. Every now and then she would pause at the stove, clutching her side and wincing softly at the throbbing pain she was keeping Nadya from experiencing. Fixing the fish she would tilt her head to the side listening to the woman talk about her encounter with a particular Dark Hunter she did not wish to see again. Turning herself around, leaning against the counter, her arms would fold as her brows furrowed and a dark scowl appeared on her disfigured face.
"The one with the golden locks and poor attitude? He had me in a trap, got myself out and managed to get him caught in his own trap. You know how males are, no matter the species Pride is their greatest sin."
Reaching for the plates and silverware she would place them down on the counter. The curly-haired woman wasn't the only one withholding information from the other. There was no need to bring up the information about the dark-haired witch that had accidentally stumbled upon the scene. She was now permanently tied to the witch and part of her job as the girl's familiar was the need to protect her from any threat. She did not trust Nadya and as such she was not one that need to be informed of such a thing. Besides, she wasn't going to let the girl in on her prize either. His boot that he had left behind in the steal teeth trapped was lying carelessly on her bed within the hidden rafters. A trophy for outsmarting the idiot that wished to sleep with his prey. Turning around she would softly call out to the woman as she began to place the rice on each place before setting the cooked shrimp and fish on top of the Cajun cooked rice.
"But I'm glad he didn't hurt you, Alexis mentioned she liked you and since you are in a pack with Tobi, I wouldn't want to see either of them hurt because of your passing."
Moving towards some of the raw fish and shrimp she would grab another plate setting the raw food down before grabbing silverware and placing them on top of the two plates that held the cook meal. Balancing the dish with the raw food on her scarred arm, carrying the other two plates in hand she would walk carefully towards the table setting one of the warm dishes in front of the girl. Moving her own dish on the opposite side of the table, to provide the woman with some ease that she would not sit beside her, she would place the raw dish in an empty chair that Tobi enjoyed to sit in. Sitting herself down she would clutch her side once more, clenching her teeth some as she tried to ignore the throbbing pain in her side. Proving the woman with a brief small smile she would gesture to the woman to eat, before digging into her own plate, her other hand still clutching her sore side.
"I thought you might like this, go on and eat up...Tobi might come around, he always does during supper."
Really the she-wolf was quite a kind hostess. Especially to one that was not pack.
