[ 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 )

Liya was, for the most part, a nice Horseman. She was happy and upbeat and ridiculously friendly. Sometimes this proved questionable for someone from the War Clan, but Liya didn't really mind. She knew what she was like and more importantly when push comes to shove, she was capable of disemboweling someone with her bare hands if necessary. So when one of the jobs that had opened involved the bank, Liya felt apprehensive about trying for it. She made her case and presented her skills and thought getting people to pay what they owe was right up her alley. Ideas of violence was made clear to her that they were not allowed and should never be considered on the table.

Her client for that day apparently was someone of the elderly persuasion. And while Liya herself had the greatest respect for one's elders because they often proved to be a treasure trove of knowledge and wisdom, this particular elder made Liya want to summon her weapon and slit their throat. She had to reign in her temper all throughout the session and she was internally (and sometimes outwardly) asking whether the client even knew what they were even doing here. Apart from making Liya murderous that is.

In the end, Liya was unable to impress upon the client the seriousness of their situation. Although the only thing that truly kept the War Horseman from launching herself out of her seat to throttle the elder was the mention of how she reminded them of their grandchild. Damn it, family always was such a soft spot for her.

Liya didn't want to give up on a job she'd failed before. Call it pride, call it ego, call it stubbornness, call it whatever you want but it had Liya returning to the bank to try to get the loan paid. She may have been told that the client was a high profile type but Liya didn't seem to understand the gravity of the situation.

Still, she did her best, pointing out the benefits of paying now as opposed to putting it off. Any insult or mockery or hell, even praise and flattery that the client threw at her was taken with a grain of salt. Sure there were points her temper was getting frayed but she managed to hold it in.

Despite failing to convince the client to pay up, Crane still approved of her performance.
