Campaigning, calling in favors, and general skullduggery [OPEN/ACTION]
"Running for office, as wearisome as it is, has the advantage of allowing you to meet and get to know many different types of people you wouldn’t normally associate with in your daily life. This is perfectly respectable during a campaign— in fact you would be thought a fool if you didn’t take advantage of it— so that you can eagerly and unashamedly cultivate friendships with people no decent person would talk to."
So that's just what he's going to do! His staff had prepared him for this, memorizing names and addresses; now was the time to travel door-to-door, shamelessly electioneering, doing favors and demanding favors, all to seek those precious votes. And that means you! Yes, you. Especially you.
Vyers: You were one of my first friends here, and our first conversation was on the subject of Guardianship. Will you help me again, and lend me your influence? If you don't, I just might stop going easy on you during our martial arts sessions together. Oh, and congratulations on another unopposed win. I'm envious.
Satsuki: I know people think of you as a hard woman, but I sometimes wonder about the veracity of that. You've selflessly assisted me in my affairs; would it be too much to ask to do so again, in my time of need? Of course, It'd be my pleasure to throw a few kind words your way too.
Satori & Koishi: I'm glad that such an unlikely friendship has bloomed. I never dreamed I'd be able to get on the good side of two "monsters". Would you be willing to do me the kindness of giving me your support now? I'd be happy to do the same.
David: As I said I wouldn't, I haven't forgotten the aid you've lent me in my desperate hour. Such an hour has come again, and I must shamelessly ask the same. May I have your influence behind me? As always, I'm in your debt. Congratulations on your victory, by the way. One of these days we'll have to trade places.
Luke Triton: I always enjoy our weekly talks, even if I sometimes run dry and run out of things to talk about. (this never happens) Would you do me the favor of giving your support? I'm counting on you and people like you to help me keeping Everglade safe.
Cicero, Quintus Tullius (2012-02-13). How to Win an Election: An Ancient Guide for Modern Politicians
Ted took the ancient advice to heart. Far be it from him to look The Fool and refuse a chance to meet and greet all the interesting people in the world.
