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.

Black Market

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.

What You'll Find Here

Edge of the Circle

Cull & Pistol

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.

Bartender Raylin Chike

Noah's Ark

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.

Syn

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.

i'm not ashamed of my scars, i'm ashamed of the world for not understanding.

Like any normal person, Raven had a ritualistic routine to start her day. The first thing she would do when she woke up was to double check and make sure that her current lifestyle was not a dream and she wasn't stuck back within that rusty old cage, or the prison like bedroom. If her mate was asleep beside her she would place a gentle kiss on his forehead, and quietly pry herself out of his arms. If the leopard was wide awake playing with his toys she would whisper a soft greeting and slowly climb out of the hammock to walk over, and ruffle playfully with his long dark hair. If the boy was nowhere to be seen she would allow herself to sleep in for a little bit, because God knows the poor girl needed as much sleep as she could get. After a long warm shower, with her mate or without him, she would get dressed for the day and make her way to the kitchen. Cooking breakfast for her pack was a moment not just for her to show she cared for them, but it gave her time to be alone to collect her own thoughts. After breakfast she would go off and do whatever she wished. Whether that was to spend time with her mate, work in Tetradore's office, help the staff get the Ark ready for the day, or venture off for her own adventure for the day. This morning, unfortunately, was not one of those ritualistic routine mornings.


Right before the sun even rose the poor girl was woken up by her abnormal thinking mate. The boy demanded she wake up, and the way to do it, was to lick her face with his sand-paper like tongue, and then push her out of the hammock. It was evident that the man wanted to play, and after looking at the radio showing in red numbers what time it was, Raven couldn't help, but groan miserably in protest. Tobias encouraged her to change and once she was in her wolfish form, they slipped out of the Ark quietly. He made her play 'hide and seek' throughout the West District. Making the tired Raven even be more exhausted than before, until she finally 'woke up' and started having a bit of fun. The night before Raven attempted to explain to her wayward mate why she was anxious and upset. She wanted to help Henry and she wanted to help Sterling, but it troubled her. Henry's panther seemed to trouble her feral side, and the last thing she wanted Tetradore to handle was two feral Weres...and Sterling getting hurt or seeing Henry get hurt by her. Tobias hardly brought her any comfort when she explained her troubles, but it was nice for her to open up and talk to him about it, even though he had nothing useful to say in return. It wasn't until she was curled up against him on top of the Ark, watching the sunrise, did she realize why Tobias had taken her out of bed so early.


Somehow the man understood her plight and decided that the best way to not only calm her down, but help keep her feral side in check, was to exhaust the two of them out. To anyone that wondered how in the world a girl like her would end up with a guy like him, they would have understood, if she ever told them this story. After the sunrise the two of them just laid side by side with one another, enjoying the peace and quiet, watching the sailors and workmen work along the docks. It wasn't until she noticed Henry walking up towards the Ark with his mate, did she release a heavy sigh. With one last nuzzle and his parting words of 'good luck' she left the deck and entered back into the Ark. Slipping into her room and she shifted and made herself look ready for the day. In little to no time at all she left her room walking down the hallway seeing her Alpha and Henry already leaving the bottom step on the stairs. Her eyes shifted towards the man sitting down, already assuming this was the man she was supposed to help. Raven wondered if Henry told him about his cheating? With a soft sigh the young woman attempted to steel her nerves as she quietly walked down the steps, keeping an eye on the trio. She heard her Alpha question her presence and claim she never slept. Amused a small grin appeared on her mauled face as she stood right behind him, speaking up quite softly, her tone holding a teasing note.


"How else would you get any sleep, if I am not there to keep my mate from waking you up?"


Blue-grey eyes shifted over towards Henry. Was he really ready for this? Usually when she was near him she could feel her other half start to stir and get upset. Clearly her mate's plan to tire the two of them out worked, because she didn't hear or feel anything. Thank goodness. A small nod of greeting was given to him, and he was given a small smile. Was she angry with him that he confessed he cheated on Henry? Of course. Was she going to use that against him and make sure his life was miserable? Absolutely not. He was a part of their pack, and it was her job as a pack member, to be there for him when he needed her. And apparently for this...activity...she was needed. Raven was still unsure about all of this, but if Tetradore was willing to give it a try, then why not? She would turn her attention to Sterling giving him a shy sad simper.


"Hello Sterling, is there anything you want to do say before we start. Do you have any questions?"
