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.

Out go the lights and bump goes the night
And with your fear comes my delight
Risque heard the knocking on her office door and the sound alone irritated her. She had a body sprawled out upon her desk, puncture marks dotted his clammy flesh. The muscular brunette male spasmed, barely alive, she liked them pretty, she was truly a vain creature after all. They suffered the effects of her venom that now flowed through him currently.
"Enter." A singular word pierced the veil of silence, a commanded, irked that she has been disturbed. Blood painted her lips, a thin dribble trickling down the side of her chin in an almost delicate fashion. Blood splattered upon the floor, her desk, the dark little dress she wore. Her feast of a man whimpered as if his dying words were a cry for help, his eyes unseeing, lost within the horrors that torment him. His darkest fears coiling around him. She stood and that movement was terribly feline and liquid, straightening the fabric of that leather dress she wore, at least the blood would come out easier than if it were fabric. That leather looked like it was practically poured on that sensual body of hers, covering enough but leaving a lot of her pale flesh exposed. That skin seemed to carry an ethereal glow of its own, especially against that dark leather. She was the epitome of a luring siren, designed to draw you in and succumb and before you realized it, it was too late.
She waited for that door to open, a scent wafted through. Cobain. A surprise drop in that she had not anticipated. How long had it been, years? Longer? Perhaps she should have punished him for not sending word of his arrival. Malice floods her as the gears within her head began to churn. "Oh, look what the cat dragged in.." That nonchalance in her tone and yet there was something, a glint in her pale eyes, wicked and depthless. Such an obscure look that was easy to miss, even beneath that soul devouring stare. "If I didn't know any better, I would have pronounced you dead." Her voice is like smooth molten poisoned honey dripping on the most vulnerable parts. Dead to me. She didn't say those cruel words because she didn't need to. It was the closest to intrigue she could muster, her slender pale hand rested on the blood slick desk that possessed her last meal. She dragged her silver taloned finger along that desk waiting for him to come to her.
Something akin to some sadistic boredom curiosity gleamed with in her multifaced cold, hypnotic gemstone eyes, an inkling of her power trickling out to a select few. Summoning them as if only to arouse tension. She was convinced he wouldn't see them coming. If only he had had noticed he was slowly became surrounded cats looming in the shadows, a tiger, a lion, and leopard slowly, but quietly drawing closer and closer, hunting prowling their prey, as well as the cats in her office that twitched their tails in irritation from that power that they succumbed to. They lingered all around, large felines and small as well as anything in between but then again that was nothing new. Felines were drawn to the siren, into her black hole and they were the debris floating to close.
Her eyes rove over her youthful progeny languidly, as if looking for any defects or deviations in his appearance or feel of him. Familiar, and seemingly unchanged. Good. Then he would have no excuse to have not brought her something. A gift of servitude for that long leash she allowed him.
"You are empty handed." She seemed disappointed, expecting the young delinquent to have brought her something worthwhile. Surely, he knew better. Had it really been that long? Time moved in strange and distorted ways. The older she got, the faster time seemed to move. Not that it really mattered when immortality flooded through the feline queen's veins.
Come to me, her crystalline hypnotic blue eyes seem to say.
