[ 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 )

Third day on the job, and Tessa was already grimacing at the fact that there was a possible chance of those accursed twins showing up again... but much to her relief, there was someone much, much younger that sat in the chair to her desk.

The client was a very young person -- so young that she wondered how they had even gotten a loan... but they had managed it, despite how nervous they looked.

They tried to look braver than they felt, and she noticed this with how their hands were shaking, but the face they put on was definitely a brave one.

"Greetings," She spoke softly, smiling as nicely as she could.

She wasn't quite sure she succeeded with it.

"I..." They spoke, clearing their throat as they smoothed their hands over themselves. "I came to pay my loan, I think. But... I was also wondering... if the interest rate could be lowered."

Tessa thought about this for a long moment, tapping her lips. "I might be able to make an exception... but that's something I would have to run by Crane. He's the main decision maker, after all." She smiled again, and must have succeeded, because they smiled in return.

They pushed forward an envelope full of money, and the Famine Horseman took it gently as she calculated his payment and gave him a receipt for his payment.

"I'll ask for the next time you're in, and you should receive a final decision by then. Thank you for your payment, though." She bowed her head as a sign of respect, waving at them as they left, seemingly much happier than before.
