Heading to Town
Who: Celty and YOU! Newcomers welcome
When: Throughout January
Where: Various places around the Far Shore, Tokyo, Anywhere that works
What: Celty running deliveries for her side business, for temple business, and otherwise just riding around
Warnings: None
Deliveries
Celty's done her best to promote her business, though some of it did get drowned out other things going on.v In any case, even with the holiday season winding down there's still a need for couriers. She's also done her best to promote her work in the land of the living and a couple people manage to remember her ad long enough to hire her, even if they don't remember anything about the driver herself. It works well enough for her and it's a way to make some money on the side. She's also doing a fine service in helping to gather things from the near shore that people simply need or want on the far shore.
Perhaps you're sending her out on a job or she's just finishing one for you? Or maybe you run into her in Tokyo or elsewhere while she's out on business.
Temple Business
Celty of course isn't so selfish to focus on her side gig to neglect helping her god. Now and then she's able to help with a few things that fall into the relative domain of Thoth. Bookstores, schools and libraries find deliveries from Ibis Publishing mixed in with their orders...but all the paperwork seems to be in order and the books are of surprisingly high quality.
Back at Patchouli's temple, Celty can be spotted unloading boxes of books she's picked up from the land of the living, some to add to her god's personal library or simply borrowed from other libraries. She can also be seen taking care of the birds, baboons and cats lounging around the temple grounds basking in the general Egyptian ambiance.
Hit The Road
Even if she doesn't have work to do it's in Celty's nature to take to the roads. If anything her delivery work is more of an excuse to drive around long distance and top speed. She takes care not to put anyone in danger and she does followmost traffic laws in the land of the living, but given the chance she just pours on the speed. She can also be seen on the roads in the Far Shore, and for those who only saw her up to this when she first arrived, or those who just arrived recently, her bike is doing a much better job of mixing with the local ambiance.
Namely, it's just about silent. There's no roar of an engine, no billowing of smoke, no smell of burning gasoline or rubber in the air. Her black bike runs smooth, but whenever she lets it go for a strong run or takes a particularly tight turn the sound of a ghastly horselike wail fills the air. She'll pull to a stop if someone flags her down, but anyone who decides to ride up alongside her may be taken as a challenge to race.
Wildcard
Got another idea? Want to do a prayer? Throw it here or hit me up on pm or plurk~

Hit The Road - Far Shore
Either way, he's staring for a bit as she moves by and does a slow sort of wave for lack of any other way to respond to a motorcycle in the middle of ye olden temples.
Re: Hit The Road - Far Shore
As the bike rolls to a stop it makes a noise that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike an engine. Almost something like a whinny really. Up close now he might perhaps recognize the yellow helmet she has the handlebar threaded through. The phone she fishes out to reply is the next clue.
'Hi. Do you need anything? I hope I wasn't causing a problem riding through this area.'
no subject
Meanwhile, he walks around the bike a bit. "You're Celty, right? We have some people we know in common."
Sorry, this set of replies got buried
I am. And Shooter here is a special case. He's a bit more nimble than any other motorcycle you might find.
So who is it we know in common? And who are you for that matter?
[There's a shift as she presents the last line, her shoulders and helmet tilting a bit in question and caution.]
