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.

Even though the Ark was a place of business and a dwelling Raven was starting to feel a bit worn out of the place. When she was supposed to be nothing more than a pack member relaxing in her room, she was busy running around with staff trying to handle things that should have been handle the day before Some members on staff were prompt and responsible. They came to work prepared and ready to get the job done. Others slinked in late and hardly did their job. It was frustrating. If she went down there and got after them, it didn't matter what she said, they would simply ignore it. But if Jackal or one of the boys came down and got after them then they would apologize and hop to it. It wasn't fair. However, Raven wasn't going to let that get her down. There were some on staff that simply didn't like her for whatever reason, and sometimes you can't change people. Though you can get rid of them for unsatisfactory performance and replace them with someone better. Which is exactly what Raven did. There was one staff member that for whatever reason, really hated her guts. The young woman had no idea why the other disliked her so much, but he did everything he could to help ensure there was strife and unproductivity. He was even getting pretty nasty when Jackal was involved and for Raven that was the last straw. With them down one man Raven was doing more work than she should be, hence the need for another staff worker.
As always Friday nights were busy, but they would be packed more than usual, because this Friday was payday Friday. This meant that people would be more likely to spend more money on food, alcohol, and placing ridiculous bets. If the young woman could she would politely tell their patrons that they should be a bit more cautious when spending their money. Maybe even tell them they should make reasonable bets and not expect that making an outrageous bet would imply that Fate would give them an outrageous reward. If she did that then that would be bad for business, and well, the lupine had zero desire to lose business. Instead of leaving the staff to manage and handle everything with a man down she joined in, but not with a lot of enthusiasm. Just like their staff she wished to be somewhere else other than working. Raven would rather be out and about doing something with Serafina or Isolt. Watching a movie with Alexis inside her room would be a wonderful way to relax. And if she could pull Tetradore and Tobias away from the fighting ring she'd be spend time with them to, be it sitting on the couch and watching them play their video games, or roaming around the city with them. It didn't matter at all so long as she didn't always have to work.
Luckily for them they recently got a new shipment of alcohol and she was busy in the back putting the items away until Jasper came in telling her someone wanted to speak to the manager. Tetradore was busy with Jackal handling other matters which left this as something for her to handle. Stepping out of the backroom with a case full of new bottles to be placed on the shelf, she placed them on the countertop. When Jasper pointed down the row she cocked her head to the side. It was a long ago, but she had met this woman before here within the Ark when she was wandering around areas she did not belong in. Pulling some of her long curls around her eyes she walked on over, a bit uncertain of the woman. Usually she was the type to walk and speak for a while, but she only had a short amount of time before the Ark would be packed. Business was business after all. With a light and friendly tone she stuck her hand out for the other woman to shake, and getting straight to the point.
