[ 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 )

It was hard to tell if this was a good assignment for Ollie or a bad one. On the one hand, he had a baby face, bright eyes; he was barely five feet tall and looked even smaller inside of the clothing they'd given him to fulfill this task. On the other, he really could probably take on anyone they threw at him if it came to a physical altercation. But how much good was that if they had no idea it was coming...?

His first client was surprisingly young, maybe twenty-three, and was popping gum as she settled down in front of him. Of course, Ollie was only seventeen, so his hesitant replies, uncomfortable with just how low cut her shirt was and how she kept leaning in toward him, were bumbling and not at all impressive. There was no chance at all that his utter failure to flirt was going to get him anywhere, tonight. Still, it didn't piss off the client, either, so maybe someone else could collect next time.

The next client was a little bit better. A heavyset man with extremely bushy eyebrows, he reminded Ollie of a foster father he'd had a few years back -- which, no, wasn't exactly a good thing, but it made it easier for him to harden his tone and lean forward, made him almost intimidating as he pushed the man to pay up what he owed. His tone was stern, and serious, outlining just how serious this situation was and how bad it could end up.

Probably the guy just found it hilarious how serious he was, found him adorable in his way, but whatever the reasoning...it worked. He'd pay up. And so Ollie hadn't failed the day.
