Who: Mark and Thalia
What: Mark asks Thalia in for a meeting concerning both of their futures.
When: Wednesday morning
Where: The Politics Fix Writer's Room
Warnings: None
Mia would continue to be his assistant, and both Ryan and Orren had guaranteed futures as political speechwriters. They were as brilliant as they were high and hilarious and Mark had no qualms with setting Orren up in his White House and taking Ryan to Chicago. The rest of his writing staff was just as talented, but Mark didn't have immediate places in the industry to stick all of them. There were a few openings, but not enough for all of them and Mark couldn't help bu feel guilty for abandoning his Room-- even Thalia, who as a muse of comedy, could probably find a job anywhere. He owed them all the courtesy of an explanation, but Thalia was the only one who he could actually tell the whole truth.
He considered waiting for her in his office, but he wandered down into the Room instead. It smelled like weed and old pizza, but Mark knew he was going to start missing it already. He fell down into one of the chairs and put the bag of bagels he'd grabbed from the deli onto the table. The bag nudged an ashtray and a half smoked joint fell out. Mark picked it up and couldn't help but laugh when he thought about how much godly influence he must have unconsciously used over the years to keep the higherups at CNN from asking any questions.
