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
Noah's Ark
Syn
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.
Bartender Raylin Chike
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.

Risque batted Darcy's complaint of Tetradore's disobedience aside. After all, he was her pet to do with as she pleased. She would discipline him as she saw fit, in her own time. How she could see that restraint he forced upon himself. Tetradore's defiance even in his sluggishness, once an amusing little trait to destroy out of him now grew tiresome. She knew she could not blame it all on that venom... her unruly feline was never short of defiance in his own way, even now, it wore on that last fibre of patience she had for her ebony feline.. And yet her true interest was not within him now, it was within that fae that had reminded her so much of someone she had once known. How she had envisioned this moment, a chance to reenact a demise she had been denied of. Oh, Darcy had provided her far more of a gift than he had even realized. It was enough to quell her violent and venomous ways for now... not when she was so close to obtaining, what she wanted. Even if it was only a figment of the real thing. Such an opportunity was a rare one.
She was all too aware of how Darcy seemed to flinch at her order of Tetradore's venom to paint the exposed fae's pale flesh. Such pain he would suffer before he would succumb to death. She was hardly sympathetic to Darcy's wariness of that in which he had suffered from Tetradore long ago. She had remembered how badly damaged his neck was, any longer with the effects of that acid and she was sure it could have potentially bested him. How she remembered that mark he left! That blatant disrespect of being marked other than herself was not easily forgotten.
All that was on Risque's mind was how she enjoyed watching the way that acid destroyed flesh, she enjoyed watching it slowly disintegrate what was once unblemished as if morbidly fascinated at exposing all that that skin liked to hide.
Yet, she was not about to let Tetradore's acidic saliva do all that work. Oh no, she had a gift to play with. How Darcy had truly put effort in tonight's festivities and that hardly went unnoticed. He was obedient and loyal as always to her. Even though his transgressions from earlier lingered even if she had claimed forgiveness. It was rare to have a moment when she had both of her men work together in unison... begrudgingly or not. She had to admit she enjoyed the sight.. Enjoyed that the victim looked so much like Matteo... that if even for a moment she could make him suffer.
Risque seemed to question how many cranks it would take for the fae man's limbs to pop, and the thought of the pain it would inflict the she-devil seemed to relish within.
It was better for both men in that room that they were not on the receiving end to her perverse pleasures. Both at least smart enough to know that. At least she had thought. Darcy seemed eager to obey Risque, as always. One of the very few that rarely disappointed her, even though he certainly pushed his limitations tonight. Slowly, but surely he began to manoeuvre that crank as she had requested. All that pleading, gasping, and tears did little to help the fae now. There was an eagerness to Darcy's next words, her pale eyes distracted from the scene to peer at her lover. She considered that very question as if she tasted it word for word. Ahh, the man seemed proportionate enough that she bet he could come apart all at once. What a pleasing sight in itself. One she had never seen executed before her within her own control.
Her fae.
That she had such plans for, that she had all but fantasized about for centuries. She could have killed her insolent pet right at that given moment. Her disobedient Tetradore, robbing from her from far too much to be forgiven. He would pay. She reached out to gently pinch the fae man's chin as if confirm he was dead, to relish in the sight even though she seemed to run her finger across his jaw in a nearly tender way. How she had so much left to say and yet again... she was denied of it. Revenge was so very sweet and yet her tongue is soured with the taste of having it stolen. Her lips curl into a vicious snarl, her fangs exposed as her gaze honed upon the unruly Tetradore.
His disobedience would not be forgiven so easily or likely at all. Her fury rose within her, like an ancient dragon spreading its magnificent wings. She made sure to grab him by the scruff, tossing him to the ground with a shuddering thud to where he was unlikely to land on his feet despite that old feline saying.
Abruptly she called.
She pressed her heel further and further into Tetradore's plushy side, simply because she could even though her demenour remained calm, her temper threatened to burst. She could beat him plainly within an inch of his life and it still would not be enough. Could he not just for one night play his role?
She hardly released her hold reluctantly, yet her powers still remained, a choking hold like a noose around her felines neck.
Risque waited so long for him to turn back from beast to man. His usefulness in his feline form was nonexistent. It was about time he was reminded who he belonged to and to who pulled his strings. He might not have been able to truly witness the machine in all its glory but he would certainly experience it. After all.. A cat could not scream like his human form could.
One thing for certain, he would suffer by her hand and perhaps.. That was indeed spinning straw into gold. Which was a fortunate thing for Darcy in her current state.. For now.
Now... the true question was.. Could Darcy keep out of the proverbial cookie jar to avoid his lover's wrath? And would Tetradore be able to maintain his levelled stoic demenour when she broke him apart limb from limb?
