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.

Wake up to your dreams
And watch them come true



It felt like an eternity standing there, watching and waiting for her brother to decide her fate. There were walls there in his eyes she didn't remember being there, walls she had no idea how to even begin making sense of or even begin to try to fix. How could she fix something she couldn't remember? At long last he spoke though it gave no more answers than it created. Nadya shifted as her brother brushed past her and she automatically followed. The more they walked the more the edges of her memories bled- it was true that it was an entirely new ship...but how? "...What happened to the other ship?" He could at least give her that answer could he not?

"Odd name...Frost.." Nadya mused lightly, her attention hardly giving thought to what twins Aiden was speaking of, instead latching onto the unwanted prospect of being taken by someone she didn't know. After her ordeal and continued memory issues, it wasn't an option she was keen on. Still, she followed him down that hall of the many identical doors until her brother deemed a certain one sufficient and opened it. This boat was a far cry from the other- this one lavish and built for living within. The woman took a moment to simply stand in the middle of the room and look out at the vast expanse of the ocean. The serene waters were the exact opposite to the tumultuous thoughts and feelings that plagued her. Shower, clothes, food, sleep, leave. Perhaps not in that exact order but she understood the general gist of what her brother expected of her. It made her chest tighten and forced her to focus on her breathing as she felt a surge of energy boiling just below the surface. Her brother's voice alone pulled her from becoming engulfed in that feeling completely. At least for now.

Nadya had to sit herself on the edge of the bed as the weariness began to drain her. "Who's Mira?" Obviously she was important enough for Aiden to continuously mention her. She raked a hand through her hair which was in dire need of a brush. A brief thought drifted to hoping that the bathroom was well stocked in not just toiletries but a brush. Those deep chocolate eyes sought out her brother once more, looking back at him with only pain in her eyes. "Staff or pack?" Yes, it mattered to her if only so she knew what connection the woman she was expecting with her food held. Did this Mira know about her or was she the sister he pretended not to have the moment she disappeared? Those troublesome thoughts rose in her once more bringing that heat and she had to fight to keep in control. Nadya's fingers twisted in the dirty fabric at her knees, "...Aiden..I-...thank you. I understand you don't want me here and I'll leave as soon as I'm done...but I ask that it be on my own and not with someone I don't know." It was her only request and could only hope her brother was allow her this. She'd manage to figure out the rest from there if only allowed a moment of rest and a change of clothes.
