[ 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 )

She was starting to think she didn't suit this job too well after all. Sure, nearly yelling at an old granny was the most uncomfortable by far, but this was just plain frustrating to deal with.

They reminded her of those annoying little children their mothers loved to dress in matching clothes with no sense of individuality at all. Who spoke at the same time, did the same things together, started crying together...

And now these two were doing the exact same thing, except they were all grown up now. Forgive her if she couldn't help but think they were doing this on purpose and definitely more than capable of being some slimy conman act. At least they didn't always speak using “we” - that would remind her too much of the Famine clansmen (who make no mistake, were very useful and helpful, but the hive mind did bother her some times).

All things considered, they have been fairly cooperative till now. That was until the discussion about who signed the papers started.

“It was him.”

“No way, it was him.”

“You're Emmett”

“No YOU ARE!!”

“WE are Emmett”

“NONE OF US ARE EMMETT”

… What on earth was going on here? Were they going to suddenly reveal that they had a triplet? No no no, she will not get caught up in their scheme to confuse her.

Just sign the papers gentlemen.

She would unfortunately go unheard as the twins began to tussle over the use of the pen, as if they required BOTH of their hands on it to sign the documents together. This was taking much longer than expected, and it was no surprise that Crane was also thoroughly unimpressed.
