[ JOB LISTING ] Loan shark

[ DIFFICULTY LEVEL ] gaia_star gaia_star gaia_star

[ TASK ] It's time to call in some loans - aka the bank's most formidable and infamous task, what they're best known for. He's invited you to some interviews with people who are behind on their loan payments; the office is extremely grand and fancy - and also imposing. Doing this task means that Crane trusts you to know what you're doing, so you'd better not let him down...

[ MECHANICS ] Roll 1d100 and see how well you've fared. You may only have one client a day.

  • 01 - 15 - The person you've been instructed to speak to is a young parent who keeps crying everywhere. It's a little flustering to try and talk when someone is sobbing on your shoulder...needless to say, Crane is disappointed in your efforts. Or lack thereof. ( fail )

  • 16 - 30 - Twins. Why twins? What sort of twins take out a loan together? Apparently to open a small business. They're the type of twins who finish each other's sentences, which gets you both confused and a little annoyed. Crane doesn't appreciate your impatience... ( fail )

  • 31 - 45 - Your patron is a young person - very young. In fact, so young that you're wondering how a person this young even got a loan. But it seems that appearances can be deceiving. You do well in getting them to admit that they need to pay the bank back. ( pass )

  • 46 - 60 - The customer is an elderly person who keeps trying to get you to speak louder and louder because they can't hear you. Crane seems amused by this, but doesn't intervene, even when the patron says that you remind them of their grandchild. ( fail )

  • 61 - 75 - Your patron is an attractive - very attractive - very very attractive - person who keeps flirting outrageously at you. Crane seems to find this quite normal, but it's throwing you off your game. Or maybe you're really good at flirting back. Either way, you actually do manage to convince them to make a payment. ( pass )

  • 76 - 90 - Your meet with someone who is unbelievably derogative and dismissive. No matter how levelheaded you might be, they eventually say something that gets under your skin, and you lose your temper. Crane seems a little entertained by this, but, well, you can't go around snapping at clients, after all. ( fail )

  • 91 - 100 - You meet with a high profile client who is as smooth as a shark and as cool as a cucumber. Nothing you say and do can ruffle them, but in spite of this, Crane seems both pleased and satisfied with your attempts at getting them to repay their outstanding debts. He gives you a nod of commendation. ( pass )

Tessa was sitting behind the desk, hands clasped together as she stared at the two people in front of her.

Twins.

Because of course it was twins. If there was trouble afoot, there would always be twins.

She knew how siblings worked... but at this point, she wasn't that keen on handling this particular case.

She saw Crane watching her, and ground her teeth together.

She could do this.

She had to do this.

"... and that's why we can't entirely pay the loan now, you see--"

"-- because it would just be such a travesty--"

"-- if our grandmama didn't have a birthday cake on her birthday--"

"-- because it's her birthday, see!"

Tessa's eyebrow twitched.

She already didn't like these two... and she couldn't get a word in edgewise besides.

Really, what was really happening was that these two were wasting time, and wasting time was not something that Tessa appreciated.

Her patience was already wearing thin.

"Look-" Tessa began, only to have the two twins start in on her again.

"You wouldn't want grandmama to cry, would you?"

"Her favorite color of icing is--"

"-- pink, and she loves the really--"

"-- frilly designs on the edge!"

"So you see, we can't--"

"-- make the payment right now--"

"--because of grandmama's cake!"

"You understand, don't you?"

"ENOUGH!" Tessa finally yelled, unable to hold back her impatience anymore as the two GRINNED, feeling like they'd won something. Both of them stood up and waved to her, exiting out the door.

"Maybe next time--"

"-- when it's not grandmama's birthday--"

But Tessa was already tuning them out.

She saw the motion of Crane off to the side, shaking his head and walking away.

Disappointment was evident on his face. Very, very evident indeed.
