It is a pleasure, Lucy. You may call me Friday in return. Since you mentioned your family by relation, I presume you were not one of the 'blessed' recruited by any of the families?
And oh, what a very forward question, but a lovely one as all of yours have been. Though might I ask you to answer that same question first, and then I shall give my answer in turn.
I'm intrigued about where you intend to take the both of us today.
I am not. My memories are intact. I was likely invited here for different reasons, though the invite did not specify what those were besides the blanket statement: "A once in a lifetime opportunity to experience and participate in a show that you've never experienced before."
You have a refreshing personality. Is that not enough reason?
But ah— though my family had high hopes that I would one day be blessed, fate did not deem it so. So I've tried to create my own blessings in other ways and believe myself to be all the richer for it.
We will. I imagine those left behind are currently scrambling to deal with all the postponements for our previously planned engagements. It is not easy for us to simply disappear without word, and I do not like the thought of disappointing any of my fans, who have loyally supported me since my debut.
Even a free concert when I return will likely not soothe their anger.
Oh, please don't think that way. Your true fans will be happy that you were given this prestigious opportunity and be happy to see you upon your return.
Many have saved up a considerable amount of money to purchase a ticket. That may sway them to feel contempt or resentment that I have not honored my own end of the transaction in a timely manner.
I do wish there were some way to communicate my earnest condolences at the situation, but it will have to wait until we return.
Friday
Lucille Beaufort, but please call me Lucy. And what is your name, my like-minded new friend?

Re: Friday
My other theory is they simply wanted live entertainment aboard the ship, but why did they not go through the proper channels to book us?
Re: Friday
I've pondered that as well. If they just wanted performers, why bring in all Eight Families when Siren's Melodies is already a well-oiled machine.
And surely, you'll be missed back at Port Manteau if all of you are unavailable for a lengthy amount of time.
