[ 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. Luna - or rather, Luna's assistants - have scheduled you some interviews with people who are behind on their loan payments.

[ 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 teenager who keeps crying everywhere. It's a little flustering to try and talk when someone is sobbing on your shoulder...needless to say. Luna simply hands you a tissue to figure things out, and you have snot on your shoulder. ( fail )

  • 16 - 30 - A set of triplets has arrived to claim their reasoning for being behind on their small business loan. All of them are quite cheerful, but sometimes too much talking gets confusing; fortunately, you can sort through all of their yammering in order to get them to pay a portion back. Luna is satisfied. ( pass )

  • 31 - 45 - Your patron looks so much like someone you know that it throws you off your game for a few seconds. Luna seems to think this is quite normal; maybe it's just one of those weird doppleganger coincidences. Either way, you're comfortable speaking with them. ( pass )

  • 46 - 60 - You spend the appointment reminiscing with an elderly patron who just seemed to want to talk. Luna, although still quiet, seems strangely satisfied with this outcome and gives you one of their rare nods of approval by the end. ( pass )

  • 61 - 75 - You flirt your way to getting a payment with your patron. Or, if you're not good at flirting, you're good at persuading somehow. They flirt back, but alas, it's not meant to be. Still, they're good natured about it, and so are you (hopefully). ( fail )

  • 76 - 90 - Your patron has a puppy that you get completely distracted by - whether in a good way or a bad way, regardless, you completely forget your original goal.( 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, Luna is satisfied when you managed to skillfully get them to repay a portion of their owed money. ( pass )

The bank looked innocent and ordinary as any of them ever did, but as many it also probably wasn't the most savory of places. Even if it wasn't suspected as a Horsemen front according to reports, Sheldon suspected that there were many things that happened behind the scenes that went unreported.
It was a bank after all.

He, thankfully, was never one to voice those sort of opinions out in the open (not his kind to talk about. Not science-y enough) and he kept his head down just as he had with several of the other businesses he decided to walk into.

There was, as it was, another reason for him attempting this one. It seemed,
against many of the others, one that would probably make him exert minimal amounts of energy to complete a task. It probably would make him count money or perhaps sort through files. Hopefully not talk to too many customers along the way or something. No heavy lifting, no creating. Just small tasks.

So he hoped, until he met one of the many assistants (and caught chatter of a missing president?). Luna waved it off apparently.

He was ushered into one of the many nice clean rooms and given a task and a folder. Apparently he was meant to talk to people. Great. He sighed.
Collect outstanding loans like a goon or something. Hopefully he wasn't supposed to beat anyone up. That would be awful and a waste of his time and levels of caring.

When the client came in, he almost did a double take with his dull annoyed gaze. She looked unsettling like Kara, of of few people he loathed on the island. It wasn't her, according to the file - and a look from Luna - but given how striking a resemblance there was, he gathered that perhaps it would aid him in his ability to converse with this person. And throw a little weight against the urgency to collect the money they owed.

His eyes cooled, narrowed ever so slightly taking up a glare against his usual cool air of indifference. It caught the girl by surprise at first and she looked between the two of them until her own eyes settled on him. It seemed to make her nervous, more so when he walked a little closer to her and leaned in at an uncomfortable distance and began to steadily make his case against her. All calm and collected, never straying off topic or divulging too much in way of information or emotion. He pressed into her, watching her sweat as he explained the situation, never seeming to blink as he went on.

It went on for another twenty minutes, just talking to her in bland degrading way until she finally caved in, almost in tears and produced the money that was needed to repay the bank for their troubles.

Luna handled that part as he stood to the side, unmoving and devoid of emotion yet again as he just stared the girl that looked like her so much. If only he was ever able to bring Kara to such a level. Kara, unfortunately, just never balked from his observations. This would have to do.

The girl left, Luna thanked him for his efforts and he was allowed to conclude his day with the bank. He made mental notes.
