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.

The chances were slim, but every now and then she always liked to tease her mate just a little bit. Her spotted companion always considered himself the best in anything and everything. Who was the best at catching a rabbit in the woods? Tobi. Who was the best at licking all the dishes clean? Tobi, because the dishwasher was truly inferior. Who was the best at stacking up all the chairs on the table, even if it was done incorrectly, of course Tobi. The man was proud about anything and everything he did. So, if Raven had the chance to playfully make him think otherwise, she would. In this case she proudly proclaimed that she liked Panthers over Leopards and that made him scowl. The lupine wondered just what Tobias would do to change her mind, just what sort of funny antics would be come up with and would Tetra play along? Maeve was quick to get Tobi to smile again by stating she dressed up as a snow leopard, but also declared she liked all the species within their pack. As more members of the pack came down she started to think about what tasks needed to be done and which one could do it. However, it seemed that everyone was more focused on everyone's attire, well lack of attire for Henry, but everyone was excited to show off their own costumes. Although there was one important person within their group that wasn't dressed appropriately for the holiday. Luckily Tobias gave the Were Panther his own green cap and Mira provided him her sword. It would have to do, but maybe next year he could do better, with their help of course.



With Tetradore now dressed to participate in the festivities everyone could now refocus on getting the Ark ready. Lifting Alexis into their air with her telekinesis was quite easy. Slowly she would levitate the Were Fox along the rafters while bringing her a bat to place on the hook. Blue-grey eyes remained locked on the young woman, but she could hear some of the conversations going around them. It was Henry's sarcastic inquiry to her mate that caught her attention. There were many attributes that she loved about her mate. He was a very honest man, maybe a bit too honest. Hearing her love repeat the conversations he had heard from various members of the staff made her shake her head. It was the comment from Cat Ears that made the usual quiet girl start to growl softly in annoyance. Was she jealous of Cat Ears? No, not at all. Why should she be jealous of her? There was not one single quality she liked about that woman. She wasn't very nice to the others on staff and she usually caused some fights with the other girls. Why in the world that girl was on the payroll she had no idea. Tobias was taken and that woman should know by now that he was hands and claws off. It was when Alexis turned to look at her that she stopped growling giving the woman a sheepish grin. It was the leopards' next response that made her cheeks change into a very soft pink. Public displays of affection were purposefully done rarely in front of the others. Such things like that, in her eyes, were meant to be private. Compliments though were all right to share with others although she did wish he kept their talks private, even if it was something as harmless as calling him pretty. God forbid any of them heard what else she told him in private.



Returning to the task at hand she continued to help Alexis put the bats up around the Ark. Once they were done with the bats she placed Alexis back on the ground, gently. Tilting her head for the woman to follow her she led them over to Jackal and his attempts to get the spider webs set up. Since Mira was helping Maeve with the pumpkins Raven decided that she and Alexis could help with his task. Once Alexis and Jackal had their cobwebs she lifted them both up shifting them from rafter to after as they started placing the webs here and there. When that task was done she placed them back down on the ground walking around and double checking that everything was placed correctly. The decorations would be done just in time for the opening, perfect! It was the sound of her mate screaming about a sex book that made her entire face shade a deep red. Why did he have to yell at such a thing!



"Tobi, shh, there is no book like that."



Blue-grey eyes shifted towards Henry and Tetradore, silently beseeching them not to correct her. Shaking her head in despair, one hand was lifted to head as her fingers gently messaged her temple. Although sex wasn't a curse word they had a cub walking about that shouldn't hear such things, of this she was sure. Knowing her leopard he would start to ask more questions and she did not need him inquiring things like this, ever. Heading over towards the bar she opened one of the drawers grabbing the bag of candy, and then different Halloween buckets she hid from the others. Now was the time for candy, because at least it would be a perfect distraction for everyone. Dumping some of the candy in each bucket she went around the room giving a bucket to each member of their pack and Maeve.

"Okay, I think it is time for Trick or Treating! Come on everyone, Jackal we'll be back to help out afterwards. Have fun!



And they all went to enjoy their Halloween night.
