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 follow ~~most~~ 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.

Got another idea? Want to do a prayer? Throw it here or hit me up on pm or plurk~

.. Wow, that sure is something to see. Motorcycles aren't that weird to Minako at all (although they do seem to be rarer up here around the Far Shore), but there's definitely something special about seeing this one riding in the distance without making any sound. Or maybe it's so quiet that she can't hear it from this distance? But even as the bike gets closer, Minako still can't hear anything, prompting her to stick a finger into her ear and see if maybe she's the problem here and suddenly lost her hearing.

Doesn't seem like it though. And her curiosity, coupled with the fact that she recognizes the outfit of the person riding on the bike as it gets closer, makes her put up her hand to try and pull the driver's attention.

"Hey..! Over here!"

A race, you say? This suave rider whose biker suit and motorcycle itself are all various shades of purple does not seem opposed.

In fact, they even seem to be nudging up on Celty from behind in a deliberate provocation. Make way! The one true champion is coming through.

With a desire to keep an outward appearance of calm and having her life together despite the contrary, it's uncommon for Ginia to look harried. She spots Celty at a light at an intersection, furiously waving her down as she adjusts the large shopping bag around her arm and running ahead to where there's a spot against the curb Celty can safely pull over at. Typing furiously, Ginia shoves the message in Celty's face.

Sorry if you aren't busy can I ask a favor?

It is simply impossible to not hear that sound, and Obi has been hearing it without being able to identify where it comes from for a while. He's curious, extremely curious. And then when he does find out where the sound comes from, he's even more intrigued because while he has seen those peculiar machines in the Near Shore, he has no idea what they actually are. He's assuming that they're not cars, but he's also assuming that cars requires four wheels exactly, no more, no less.

She passed by to fast another time, but when he does see her approach in the distance as he's sitting in a bare tree, he swings down, dangling upside down with no effort, and he waves. Possibly too much but, he's not the number one serious individual in the Far shore in the first place. If it doesn't catch her attention now, he supposes that he'll have to find her when she's not straddling that machine at high speeds.

Dokugakuji walks up the stairway of his temple complex just to check on things that his two Soulless Shinki are working on around the time that Celty's rolling on through. He gapes uncharacteristically, because that is definitely not something you see on the Far Shore every day. He recognizes by her headlessness that she's one of the less human folks running around, but still... he scratches his own neck wondering if he should say something, ask questions, that sort of thing.

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.

With how industrious Celty has been, it's been hard not to pay at least a little mind, and she soon gets a message requesting her services at a certain temple in the Central District. Unlike so many other places in the Far Shore, Ebisu's temple actually has asphalt- you know, a place to drive on, and park. There, waiting in the shadow of the enormous skyscraper, is Ebisu and one of his shinki, Aomi.

When Celty pulls up to it, Ebisu waves his hand excitedly. You know, the one not holding onto Aomi. "Hello! Are you the courier we hired?"
