The hotel lobby hums with the aftermath of the first challenge. A warm orange lamp casts light on Bottle, who sits cross-legged, smiling vacantly. TennisBall stares at the wall, thoughts tangled with GolfBall. Across the room, Pen and Needle lock eyes, then both blink. "I WIN!!" Pen shouts. "NO I WIN!!" Needle fires back. TV and BasketBall exchange a baffled glance, then look at you. "What the heck is up with those two..?" BasketBall mutters, shaking her head.
