[ 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 have two clients 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...but he does seem to appreciate the creativity you use to handle the situation. ( pass )

  • 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. They reminisce about stories of their childhood, and you get so involved in the storytelling that you almost forget you're doing work. ( pass )

  • 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 )

Terr had returned to the bank to deal with the Loan Shark job after having failed at it one too many times. He was dressed better, no heels unfortunately, but he'd gotten a lot of new garments and was determined to show these off. It was a rare moment of vanity, but if he didn't point out to it then it couldn't be considered vanity could it?

He was given his instructions and now he was supposed to meet his client. When he sat down, Terr was confronted with a very, very attractive human. Problem was, Terr would never ever consider anything to do with humans that wasn't him reaping them at the end of their life.

The Death Horseman conducted the meeting with his usual monotone and purposefully ignored the overt flirting from the human. Or could he? There was only so much he could pretend wasn't happening or acknowledge without pissing off the client, and by proxy Crane. Although speaking of Crane, where was the Bank's president?

He was there, observing Terr's performance, and this was what put the real pressure on the Death Horseman. The client was batting their eyes at him, leaning back to show off skin and the curvature of their body in what they assumed was pleasing. And yes, Terr did find the shape and form within his preferred aesthetic. He should probably respond appropriately.

So he does try some flattery, but delivered in his complete lifeless drone of a monotone. The client seemed put off by this and tried to extricate themselves from the meeting. And with the promise that he would continue to meet with them until they paid, the client forked over their debt.
