Almost entirely overshadowed by the Democrats' victory parties in the early hours of Wednesday morning was a single, albeit long-expected, defeat

You had a good run, boss. I'm sorry we couldn't make it longer for you.

[mutantwatch]

You did more than anyone could ever ask, Martha. Thank you, and please convey my thanks to Jonathan and everyone who helped out in Smallville. It's really felt like a second home lately. I've already spoken with Lionel.

[fever_crusade]

It was my sincerest pleasure, Robert. They're all devastated, but I'll tell them.

[mutantwatch]

I'll do my best to swing by today and say thank you myself. But I do need some sleep first, as I'm sure you do too.

Sooooo, Genoshan Ambassador the United States?

[mutantwatch]

Husband. Father.

[shaman_x]

Eventual college bills.

[mutantwatch]

I'm not Genoshan, Mike.

I don't even know what to say, but I should say something, right?

Have a good sleep. And good luck with everything else when you wake up.

[mutantwatch]

You don't need to say anything, John.

But thank you.

[john_movinon]

I know, but I wanted to.

[gotbottle]

I'm very sorry to hear that. Best of luck to you in what comes next.

[mutantwatch]

Thank you, Rachel. I appreciate that.

[gotbottle]

You're welcome, Robert. Get that rest, it's well-deserved.

Any ideas what you're going to do next?

[mutantwatch]

I think some time to rest and reflect wouldn't go amiss. Nic's itching to go back to work soon, so I may be a stay-at-home Dad for a while.

How are things with you? Interesting as always?

[only_pepper]

I'm so sorry, Robert.... any idea what you need to do next?

If you ever need anything, an ear to listen, a hug, whatever, I can by out there in no time...

[mutantwatch]

Don't be sorry, Pepper. It was a good, fair fight, and I wasn't utterly humiliated at least.

I have a job until January. Then I think I'll be spending time with the kids, seeing what I'd like to do next. And Mike seems determined to make me an ambassador. So we'll see.

Thank you for all your help. Could you please convey my thanks also to Mr. Stark?

[only_pepper]

As long as you're okay.

Oh? You should be, then we'd work together again, at least until April. I've been doing a project for Mike since..August now. Genosha is a very interesting place.

No, thank you, Robert. You gave me a chance when I was convinced no one would. I'm only sorry I wasn't around for that long. And I absolutely will tell Tony. I know he too sends his regrets. After all, we need more pro-mutant memebers of the Senate.

[mutantwatch]

I'm fine. Dylan is doing his bit to keep my feet on the ground by wailing nonstop.

I go swimming there. Can you talk about your project?
