[ 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 )

This was probably the toughest client she's had by far. It was hard to keep on the smile as she had to constantly raise her voice.

Yes. YES. YOUR PAYMENT IS THREE MONTHS OVERDUE. PERHAPS YOU COULD ASK YOUR CHILDREN FOR SOME HELP,” she had to nearly holler for the fifth time to get the message through. Everything about this was uncomfortable, from the fact that there was now no concept of an indoor voice, to the very idea that she was pretty much yelling at an elderly lady. There were some things one couldn't simply shake off, such as an indoctrinated respect for the elders. It also didn't help that the lady was looking oh so genuinely troubled.

“Have you eaten yet my dear? Such a fine young lady like you must also have a boyfriend. When are you getting married? How many children are you thinking of? Two? Maybe three? I'm sure your husband must be a very capable man ...”

Ma'am. MA'AM. THAT IS ALL VERY KIND OF YOU, BUT I AM NOT THINKING ABOUT THOSE THINGS YET. NOW, COULD YOU PLEASE LEAVE YOUR NEXT OF KIN'S CONTACT INFORMATION SO THAT WE MAY APPROACH THEM REGARDING YOUR OUTSTANDING PAYMENT INSTEAD?

“Oh. OH. My friend's grandson is still unmarried. Would you like to meet him? I could set the two of you up for some lunch to have a chat about it, what do you think? And THEN you can start thinking about how many children you'd like.”

This was going to be a long, long afternoon.
