[ 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 )

Vania was treated to the ever lovely twins, who had approached her desk in a passive manner, both sitting down at the same time, and donning the same exact expressions.

It was eerie, and Vania shifted in her seat, frowning. Going into her spiel about their loan and detailing what they owed and how long it would take them to pay it off, she watched as they talked among themselves and even went so far as to finish each others sentences.

Stifling a yawn, Vania stretched her wing out under the desk, managing to look not quite bored, but listening to their conversation as they planned out together how to pay the loan.

It took them a good thirty minutes while Vania waited, and she took out a notepad and drew scribbles as they talked through everything, including the percentage that they were at as well as how much they had left and how much they were going to pay today, and how to go forward.

Meanwhile, Vania doodled little stick figures doing various things, like roaring at each other, flying with buttwings, others running and jumping off cliffs...

And once she noticed the conversation was dying off, she expertly slid the pad of paper into a drawer and smiled, clasping her hands together and asking them how they'd like to pay.

One of them reached into their purse (it was funny to her that they didn't have half of the money in their purse), setting it on the counter along with a piece of paper saying that they'd paid that amount.

Vania signed it with ease and smiled, thanking them for their business and sending them on their way.
