The idea as I see it is for the player to make a
concious choice to develope a character in a certain
direction.  The player spends the exps and after a few
weeks developes the quirk.  The way you put it is that
the character takes a few tumbles, and then is allowed
to gain the edge.  It's a hairline difference with the
character gaining the edge at the beginning of the
next or later session as opposed to right now.  As
always, it's you game.  If you feel that the player
has taken enough bruises in the past couple of
sessions to merit gaining an edge right away, it's
your call.
