Hey, could I tag along with your group? Mine somehow split up.
Them
Sure, we're heading to the scavenger hunt, and we could use one more brain.
Lin
Perfect—I can handle riddles; I'm just terrible at those forced trust falls.
Them
Relax, no one's dropping anybody today; the worst part is usually the icebreaker.
Lin
Good, because my face says 'confident,' but my knees say 'absolutely not.'
Them
Fair enough. If you crack the last clue, I'll personally nominate you for team legend status.
Lin
Deal—but if there's surprise karaoke, I'm suddenly needed somewhere very, very far away.
Them
Then stay close; the final challenge is karaoke—basically a musical trust fall.
