Bruce and I did something similar. When I was getting harassed
by one of his idiot friends and I was more than ready to flatten his friend
like a pancake he asked me to wait a bit. By the next day, his friend had
stopped. Turned out, it helped to have that particular connection. We started
to use these connections of people we knew in different social groups to our
advantages. If we knew someone was getting picked on we tried to put a stop to
it. (If the person bullying was a friend of ours, then it was easy, sometimes
we had to go through our friends to get it to stop). This system became very
effective and we met a lot of new people that way and collected a lot of favors
from people.
After a few years and my working really hard to mellow out
my temper, I decided (privately of course) to just forget about most of the
favors I was owed. But with the upcoming wedding of two of my closest friends
there have been some last minute glitches. I’ve been fighting myself really
hard not to go wheeling and dealing quite like I did in high school. Most of
the things I am working on now are last minute things that the couple forgot in
the state they currently live in or was not able to find yet. For the most part
I am offering some payment in return for whatever I am asking for helping me to
get or find. It is just really fun to get to use my Corp. Klinger skills again,
I missed them. I like using my powers of persuasion to make people happy. I
just have to make sure to keep it in check and only get what people really need
and to make the deal that is as close to fair for everyone every time as I can
get.
