[ 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 )

Terr the Death Horseman was glad he was accustomed to maintaining an aloof, uninvolved demeanor. When he had gone to the bank, he was quite dismayed to find the whispers and stares he received for turning up in high heels. He ignored them even if on the inside he felt indignant that they dared to judge him when their personal sense of style was hideous and laughable at best. Finding out that his job was to convince others to pay back their loans had Terr unsympathetic to their plight. Anyone who was stupid enough to fail repaying their debts should have been strung up by their entrails and made as an example for everyone else.

But that apparently was not allowed according to Crane. Blast.

Wordlessly, the Death Horseman went to meet his client who apparently was some ancient biddy that had amassed a ridiculous amount of interest. You cannot be serious. Terr thought as he sat across her. With Crane observing, Terr racked his brain for a way to convince the old one to pay without having to resort to stabbing, mauling, maiming, or breaking any of those brittle bones. Unfortunately, it was made clear that the client was suffering from several health issues, age not withstanding.

He wasn't even talking but the old woman kept insisting that he speak up before proceeding to talk right over him. Terr didn't even make any attempt to correct them and just hoped he could wait them out until they lost steam. And then there was the remark of how he reminded them of their grandchild and Terr was done.

Terr was back at it again except when he saw his client was a parent, he immediately threw in the towel and promised he'd return the next day.
