[ 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 )

Deciding to give the Loan Shark job another go, Tessa moved into her normal cubicle that had been prepared for her, and deadpanned, nearly face palming, when she realized that her potential clients... were the same twins from before.

Damn her luck.

Deciding to try to press her luck, Tessa folded her hands together and watched them sit, trying not to scowl or to show any emotion on her face whatsoever.

"Hello again!"

"We know we owe money, but--"

"--we just wanted to check up on you, you see--"

"-- because, please don't frown, we still don't have it, but--"

"-- we're working on GETTING it."

"Neither of us are employed currently--"

"-- but that's not a problem! We have a plan set in motion--"

"-- to MAKE money, but we just have to--"

"-- get a little bit MORE money. So we came here--"

"-- to ask for further money added to our loan."

"That would be possible--"

"-- wouldn't it?"

Tessa stared at them for a long moment until she pinched the bridge of her nose, disbelief written on her face. Were these two for real? Did they not understand what money owed meant?

Staring at them for a long time, no matter how hard she wished it, did not make them disintegrate in their chairs. Nor did it make them turn into tiny mice for her to cage, nor did it make them actually -- dare she say it!? -- pay their damn bill.

She found herself shaking her head, grimacing.

"No, no, and NO." She held up a finger as one opened their mouth to ask another question, and she rose to slam her hands on the desk. "NO MEANS NO. OUT."

They ran.
