[ sips from his drink, considering the question. ]

It's... hard. For a cruise there's just not a lot you can do. Even though I tried to prepare for almost a week beforehand to have everything I need here, it's still frustrating.

Communicating with my editors is hell on earth. Luckily, despite taking over as chair of the business, that's going smoothly because they all think I somehow had a really important vacation with the Limelight Stage that couldn't be missed. My editors kinda have the same impression, but they're still puzzled as to why I have such a bad connection.

I'm not exactly a fan of these idle games they have us play in between performances, either. I think I'd mind them less if the accommodations were better, but it just feels like constantly getting derailed with filler episodes.

And I'm worried about Forte. He's not doing so hot lately.
