Good evening everyone. I've been talking to a few people for advice about what to do in my spare time around here and getting a job of some sort came up a few times.

So I'd like to announce that if you have a need I will be offering my services as a delivery driver and courier in both the Near and Far Shores. I can ferry people as well, but not in large numbers. I'll be sure to keep prices reasonable considering our natures, but I will also ask for more for any more dangerous jobs.

If anyone knows of a good way to promote my services on the Near Shore side, please let me know.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me here or directly.

A courier job, huh? I'll admit that can be pretty handy job that pays well, so I might take you up on it some time, Celty-san.

[lookingforhead]

Thank you very much. What sort of things might you need transporting?

[toremainbehind]

Mostly some supplies if that's alright with you. Nothing too fancy, but that may end up changing in the future.

[lookingforhead]

That sounds perfectly fine. I'd rather avoid being involved in anything exceptionally illegal though.

[She doesn't mind some dirty work, but nothing that's like evil illegal.]

[toremainbehind]

You have nothing to worry about there. I rarely ever dabble into any illegal things.

[lookingforhead]

I just wanted to check. I look forward to working with you.

[bussounoshima]

How entrepreneurial.

[Seriously, between Gojyo and Celty, she's starting to get shown up by her shinki. Good thing Sharak doesn't care about looking lazy!]

[lookingforhead]

The temple is lovely but I need to get out and move and do something. I think it's a part of my nature. I'll still be sure to put helping you up front.

[Headless riders gotta ride.]

[bussounoshima]

I wouldn't dream of tying you down, Celty.

[Her free spirited shinki.]

If you're busy while I need help with a prayer, I'll make one of the boys come along. Don't worry about it.

[Gojyo also has a job and Neji only just moved in but hey. They need to get off their asses and help out.]

[lookingforhead]

With any luck I'll be close enough to come help anyway.

[bussounoshima]

[Celty is probably, funnily enough, Sharak's most practical shinki vessel choice at the moment so... That's good.]

With any luck. Who knows, maybe we'll be able to combine the two tasks.

If you need any additional help with courier services that I do not mind lending a hand. I may not be able to deliver messages over long distances but I do have a teleporting ability and a speed quirk to depend on.

[lookingforhead]

I appreciate it. Mostly I enjoy being out and riding around and I'll need the money to keep my motorcycle fueled anyway.

[There's a bit of a delay before her next reply.]

Just how fast are you?

[brains_beef_and_brows]

I have a couple of different speeds, and some overdrive techniques.

Similar to a car I have three different "gears" I use, and when I am in third gear I can go 50 meters in 3.04 seconds. I can go even faster when I use my Recipro Burst and Recipro Extend but If I use those techniques my engines will stall.

[lookingforhead]

I see. That's amazing.

I've been using a motorcycle I was able to acquire but I feel like there has to be a better fit out for me somewhere. Until then it'll do.

So if you have engines, are you a robot? Cyborg?

[brains_beef_and_brows]

I am neither actually~! I am fully human, but from where I am born it is not unusal for humans to be born with unnatural talents or appearances!

Flyers, maybe?
But that sounds like a job where you might get a chance to see some different places. It sounds fun.

Re: From: Carl Adler

[lookingforhead]

That could be a good idea. I figure most of my initial clients will be Far Shore related people though.

[smilingbullet]

There are probably people around who can help you figure out appealing designs, if you need any help with that. But yeah, I think so. They're more likely to notice, and all.

[lookingforhead]

Thank you. This is very helpful advice.

[smilingbullet]

You're welcome, I hope it goes well and that your business goes well.

Is that your god role then, a ferryman of some sort?

[It sounds kind of similar to his job description hence his curiosity.]

Re: Voice; From: Ksitigarbha

[lookingforhead]

[Despite his using voice, he still gets text back.]

Actually I'm a Shinki. The god I work with is Sharak who has the domain of Aditi.

But you're not entirely wrong either. According to what I was able to look up on the internet my kind is considered a type of psychopomp or reaper. But I guess it's possible for me to die too.

Re: Voice; From: Ksitigarbha

[royaltyloyalty]

[Oh! This is Sharak's girl. He's heard a little about her.]

Ah... so a fellow non-human, former or otherwise. I know Aditi alright.

Re: Voice; From: Ksitigarbha

[lookingforhead]

Oh.
Yes.
Well I am
was?
am a Dullahan

What are you?

Re: Voice; From: Ksitigarbha

[royaltyloyalty]

Never heard of a Dullahan, but curious to look into that now.

Ever heard of a youkai?

Returning from hiatus~

[lookingforhead]

I'm familiar enough. It's the Japanese word for monster, right? Well, monster, spirit, something in between?

I guess in basic definitions I'm one too.

[One culture's unseelie is another culture's yokai....sort of.]

woo~

[royaltyloyalty]

I didn't know it had other meanings. It's just what I am. Only asshole humans call us monsters.

So if that's all you're going on to think you're like me, I'm flattered, but don't let an insult do that to you.

[lookingforhead]

I don't think it's an insult. It's what I am. I'm not ashamed of it.

[She's certainly not human. And fairy just feels too...light for her. She's a monster. And she's okay with that.]

[royaltyloyalty]

It's an insult where I come from, anyway - to call us monsters. We're not human, sure, but they call us 'monsters' if they're trying to say we're like animals. Beasts with no control and nothing but bloodlust. Beneath them.

[lookingforhead]

Ah I see.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean any disrespect.

[royaltyloyalty]

I'm not insulted - I was thinking more of you. And if I don't ever call you a monster, you know why. Just something you hate hearing after hearing it said like that for years.

[Never mind all of the baggage with it being directed towards Gojyo too.]

[lookingforhead]

I understand, and I'm sorry again.

I don't really remember if I felt one way or not about it when I was alive. I just have this gut feeling of peace about it. I can't explain it.

[Hashtag ShinkiWorldProblems]

[royaltyloyalty]

Ah, right. I'm a god so I still know why. Sorry for focusing on it. I know that could hurt shinki and you're one of the last people I want to do that to.

[lookingforhead]

It's okay, but thank you for your concern.

Ever since I got here I've been lucky enough to know what I am. Not really a memory but more just knowing deep down. I've also had a gut feeling that as long as I know who I am I don't need to worry about my missing memories.

I can't explain it. It's just something I feel.

[royaltyloyalty]

Hm. Yeah I guess that is pretty lucky. I know it can be something that people struggle with reconciling when they don't live amongst their own kind.

[See also: his brother.]

And if it's not something that bothers you too much, that makes things easier to work with Sharak too, I bet.

[lookingforhead]

She can be a bit rough sometimes, but she's been a good person to work with. She's blunt but she's honest.

Or at least she's not the short to spare someone's feelings just to make it easier for herself. When it comes down to it, I trust her.
