[ 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 )

Loan shark? that sound vaguely like fighting. And as a War Horseman fighting was always a bonus. And then he found out that it really bullying people into paying back their loans. That was less interesting but perhaps he could intimidated them.
He was big bad and scary right? (ok not that big, he's seen some huge horsemen but whatever. He was bigger than the humans.)
He hung out a bit before going in to interview, and was practicing his mean face. Wait was that another horseman? "Ready to bully some humans?"

Rayu- journal Clan: War - Warrior Arcana: The Magician (Group A) Description: Rayu is about 6'1" with black hair and wings with a green tint. He looks like a he that just waltzed out of the jungle and is wearing war paint and no shirt when not in human mode. (which is whenever possible) His alt form is a big black Panther and his humanoid mode sometimes matches.
Ake was not really in DIRE NEED of money, but he had to admit having some on hand was nice. (That and he recently dropped what little amount he had left from buying human clothes into a pot debating the likelihood a certain loud war horseman and shattering crystals).
And so here he was. In a bank. Doing bank things. ... which involved apparently shaking money out of certain people that owed it. How fun.
It seemed he wasn't alone, and he frowned at the other's remark. "I suppose so."

Well this one was no fun. No matter Rayu walked right on in only to fine a stern looking older gentleman.
Tough crowd today, Rayu was having no luck. Bad luck. It seemed to be the way of things. Well, he would do his best.
"So it says here you are 3 months behind on your pay."
"mmmhummm" said the old guy, not even caring.
Rayu got big and pushed his shoulders out a bit. "You see you gotta pay." "Kid I know my rights. I can't pay because I can't pay. And you don't scare me. I've seen meaner back in the military."
Rayu was slightly taken aback. how dare this human not be intimidated by him? "Look you still got to pay something." "I gotta eat too. I'm not paying a thing."
This went on for a while but Rayu couldn't get anything out of the old guy. That worked out... absolutely horribly. Rayu Made a face and got up after a while, going to go hide and cool down. He wasn't allowed to actually punch the old guy. He wasn't even worth taking his head, to fragile. But he sure was annoying and Rayu wanted to just kill him and get it over with. That wouldn't get the company money though.
It seemed like the other horseman wasn't having much luck, and Ake frowned. Ugh, what a waste of time.
He turned to face his own client with a grimace, who seemed to be a young male, perhaps a little younger than the other client. Said human had his arms folded, greeting him with a sneer. Oh joy.
"I know what you're here for and the answer is NO." Ake arched an eyebrow.
"If you know then why don't you fess up and pay already. This is a waste of time for the both of us."
"Because I don't LIKE you and you're not doing your job properly." Oh? "Ah, then tell me, how SHOULD I be doing it?" Not that he even WANTED to in the first place, but with the owner watching his every move he couldn't not make some sort of attempt.
The client gave an exasperated huff. "GOD you're so useless. They must be REAL desperate if they're hiring trash like you." Hands in his pocket, he sauntered up to Ake, and it took every fiber of his being not to take a step back. He didn't appreciate the human being in such close proximity, but if he had no desire of showing any signs of being intimidated.
"Why, you gotta make yourself sound desperate. Like 'please, please! I'm a useless piece of trash and if you don't help me I'll be killed! I'll do whatever you ask! You gotta sell YOURSELF, buddy." Ake's eye twitched. "To be honest, I'd rather they send some cute girl to hassle me. Curvy hips and a huge rack. Perhaps then I'll be persuaded, haha~"
Something snapped, and honestly, if the boss wasn't watching, Ake would have straight out punched the a*****e. I'll keep that in mind, sir." With that, he turned and left. If he stayed any longer, he would have been fired for murdering that ******** on the spot.
