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~

There was a soft wail that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike an engine as the bike pulled to a stop and Celty sat up in her seat. Her shoulders hitched in a slight bit of surprise at who she was seeing but waved back. She nodded in reply to the question before fishing her phone out to reply.
'I am. This is my side business.'

But he's getting ahead of himself. Twisting in Aomi's grip, Ebisu grabs some packages that are nearby- all fortunately fairly small, the kind that are in large envelopes filled with bubble wrap insides. "Anyway, we just need you to do some stop on the Near Shore. They're in regards to prayers of mine, and they won't make it in time if they stick to the delivery methods that humans use."
no subject
But she takes the packages with a nod of understanding at his concerns about timing. He's not the first to hire her with that in mind and one certainly doesn't want a godly blessing getting caught in the mail.
'No problem. Do you intend to pay with Near Shore currency or something else?' Happy as she is to do this it's still a business. And money from the land of the living helps keep her cat fed and her phone up to date, among other things.

Ebisu pauses, then, and blinks down at her motorcycle. "Although I'm not sure if your bike would need anything from there..." It seems pretty supernatural after all.
no subject
At least I don't need to pay for gas. You can tell he's not "normal" then? His name is Shooter.'
She filed away the talk to tech things for later, not wanting to seem greedy. As for her mount, if any of his Shinki or Ebisu himself had done research on Dullahan they may have learned that one of her kind may have a familiar which has taken the corpse of a horse and animated it. It seems, at least at this glance, that this one has taken a motorcycle for such purpose.
(ooc: for the sake of clarity, Shooter has a horse form as well, in addition to a carriage and a coach which appear in season 2 episodes)
no subject
It's very important to be nice to steeds, too, after all.
With that greeting done with, Ebisu looks back up to Celty. "So we'll pay you with yen, then." That much is decided. "I assume you'd like everything up front?"
Sorry, this set of replies got buried
'Ah, well. If that works for you. Most of my jobs are part up front and part on delivery. But if you trust me to pay me all up front then that works.
I mean you can count on me.'
She can't help but cast a few glances at his Shinki that might well be described as "nervous", even with the blank face of her helmet.
no problem! shit happens
"Young master, why don't we go with what she's used to?"
"Are you sure...?" Ebisu blinks, tilting his head back to look up at Aomi, before he nods. "Well, if you say so. I'm sure you know your own business best. Then, we'll give you the money upfront. Will you stop by the temple again once you've finished the delivery, or should we leave it at your god's temple?"
Re: no problem! shit happens
She was in no particular rush to be anywhere, but if her routes brought her back to this place in a timely manner she supposed she could swing by. The nice thing about her courier work is she basically had control over when and how she did things. Not many of her jobs specified particular timeliness.
no subject
Well. It's only happened once, thankfully, and without incident.
