[ 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 )

Attempting the bank job again, Tessa folded her hands together and waited for her client for the day, hoping it would at least be relaxing for her.

There wasn't much to do but wait, and she finally had an elderly person come in that was hard of hearing... and Tessa found this out the hard way when she had to ask questions at a decibel of over five.

It wasn't so bad once they were looking at her, and they explained that they could read lips, so Tessa made sure to look right at them and enunciate words so she wouldn't have to yell as loud.

Tessa was then told that she reminded them of their grandchild, and Tessa stopped, unsure of how to handle this, especially when they began to reminisce stories from their childhood for her.

They'd been through so much, she realized, as they explained how during various stages in their life, they did so many different things they thought was right -- such as certain people doing dares, some others trying to fly when they didn't have wings, the problems one had when trying to intermingle different species of bugs....

Tessa found herself wrapped up in their story, and for a long moment there... she forgot she was working.

When the customer stopped speaking, Tessa jerked, realizing that she'd been far too into their story, and came back to reality with a smile, taking what they owed and bidding them farewell.

Idly, Tessa wondered if she'd have any adventures like that... and held onto that hope in her heart, close enough that no one else would see it.
