[The video comes on, just a bit crooked, to show a scrawny teenager sitting in tall grass. He gives the camera a business-like nod, and then holds up a piece of paper, covered in blocky, red writing, to the lens.]

This is my bucket list.

[Self-explanatory, from the title.]

Who can help me with any of it? [He tilts it back to scan the list again.] Like, I'm pretty sure fireworks will be pretty easy, but I don't really know where to find a red panda. [A little nose wrinkle.] ... Or a volcano.

[That's it. That's the broadcast. He gives the camera a boyish smile and a thumbs up.]

[ So, you know that thing about not wasting his life?

Yeah, Gansey meant it. ]

We could take a road trip to an active volcano, if you like. I mean, flights would be involved too, but that's just par for the course really.

[admemoriam]

[He sits up straight, and grins.]

That would be awesome! Do you think we can all fit in the Camaro, though?

[fayzedandconfused]

Ooh, Noah, you can kiss me if you want.

[admemoriam]

[A snort of laughter. He falls back into the grass a little.]

Don't make it weird, dude.

[doubleblind]

[The list is adorable and Cosima knows she can help out, especially if she decides not to pretend to be a responsible adult.]

I can definitely help you out with a couple of these.

[admemoriam]

Yeah? [His face lights up, and he leans in a little too close to the camera.] Which ones?

video-->action;

[dreamkid]

[ Matthew doesn't totally get the purpose of a bucket list but some of these things seem fun (others slightly sketchy, but you do you, Noah.) He sends a short video message-- ]

Hey, don't go anywhere for a second.

[ --and then just a minute or two later he's tromping through the grass, phone in hand. He prefers being around people to talking over the network. ]

Can I see it again?

[admemoriam]

[Noah's lying on his back at this point, playing with a stalk of grass next to his face. He holds out the list.]

Yeah. Take a look.

Video;

[instars]

Only a kiss?

[admemoriam]

[He tilts his head into the sunlight to hide reddening cheeks.]

You'd have to buy me dinner first.

[tactical_lalafel]

[Aw, tiny pointy-eared person looks sad.]

I'd let you pet my red panda, but Mr. Clingy didn't get pulled along with me.

[admemoriam]

[Oh no!!!]

That is the best name for a red panda, ever.

( audio. )

[aberth]

I don't know what I was expecting.

[ Possibly that Noah would want them to build a rocket to the moon. ] We could go bowling. [ Adam is bad, but it had been something he and his parents had done when he was littler. Thankfully it's one of those memories that stings for only a little while before it settles, one he can replace with something better. ] There's a place in Heropa, I think.

[admemoriam]

Bowling in Florida. [He says it almost reverentially.] Can we go to the beach and buy awful souvenirs?

voice;

[akas]

If it's drink-related I can help you out.

[ A beat. ]

Aren't you a bit too young for bucket lists?

[admemoriam]

Sweet! [If waggling your eyebrows made a noise, he would be making it.] And no one's too young for a bucket list. You never know when you've only got a couple of years left .

[suldreen]

[ Pictured: a very interested and nervous-looking girl. ]

Unicorn vodka?

And... I can help you with some of the more complicated stuff, like the volcano.

Oh and you can beat me at bowling, I'm sure.

[admemoriam]

Yeah, it's all sparkly inside, and has a unicorn on the bottle. [A cheerful grin.] I like glitter.

[The product in question is a variation on this gin liqueur, and runs approximately $60 a bottle. So to someone of his background - fairly affordable.]

I think my friend's helping me with the volcano, but I could always use more bowling competition. I suck.

[itstheirworld]

Kiss ten people, huh?

[Well, it's the first thing on his list of course she's going to note it first and make fun of it a little.]

Well, I know a place you can rock climb.

[admemoriam]

[He wrinkles his nose, his face going a little red. Definitely opting to ignore her tease.]

Yeah? Where?

[superposition]

You're likely to have a bit of trouble with number 7, I'm afraid. They're endangered.

[admemoriam]

Maybe in your world! They might not be, here.

video;

[fridgeflower]

I'm really bad at bowling.

[admemoriam]

Seems like half the imPorts are. We could start a whole league! The lowest score wins.

video

[rathercommon]

[ Kitty Jones is, today, a kitty. Cheerfully: ]

I can help with numbers six and seven. If that's not cheating.

[admemoriam]

[He looks delighted, giving a little laugh.]

Dude, you have the coolest power. And it's totally not cheating.

[unguibusetrostro]

I'm down.

[admemoriam]

With which one? Don't get in over your head, now.

[At first, Daryl had been of the same mind as those asking 'aren't you a little young for a bucket list'. It was a gut reaction because kids should get to live long enough not to be kids no more. But then he got to thinking about Beth and Zach and Sofia and all the other kids whose lives were cut short in his world and even though he didn't actually know the guy, yet, he could at least pull off one of those for him.]

Buying a bike today. Not one of them hoverbikes, a real one. I can let you help me break it in.

[admemoriam]

Oh, man! [Noah always looks young, but the sheer delight in his wide eyes when he hears that just seem to make him look even more like a child.] Are you serious? I can try it?

[admemoriam]

fireworks i mean

[hollowly]

( that's a nice bucket list you have there. some things, he's pretty sure he would never have seen on anyone else's, but that just makes it all the more interesting. )

I'm sure the graffiti part would be easy enough, so long as it isn't a federal building. ( you wouldn't want to make that mistake. )

[admemoriam]

Speaking from experience?

[It's more curious than accusatory - Noah is a ball of boundless, positive energy right now.]

video

[performance]

Ten people, huh?

[admemoriam]

[Oh, it's Dick-who-liked-his-freckles. Noah gives a bright smile, but ducks his head a little.]

It was twenty at first, but I'm a reasonable guy.

video

[huntergames]

[ Some of that on the list looks awfully dangerous, but others look kind of amusing... ]

Graffiti something... like a wall? [ She snickers suddenly. ] Kissing ten people... I don't think that should be too hard!

[admemoriam]

Or a dumpster! The possibilities are limitless.

[There's a dangerous spark of energy in his eyes. He gives a manic grin.]

video

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

I've done the human catapult! Um. Sort of. Well, I did human baseball and that's super fun! If they're anything alike, then I highly recommend it. Good choice!

But, yeah I can't help.

[admemoriam]

Human baseball? [He furrows his brow.] That sounds more like bullying than an extreme sport.

[fuckai]

A bucket list? Does this place hand out death warrants, now?

Also, trust me. As someone who's been at the center of a few explosions, they're pretty goddamn overrated.

[admemoriam]

Nah, it's kind of retroactive. [Said as casually as possible.] And you don't have to freak, or anything - we're gonna be safe with it. Hoepfully.

Voice;

[pyrogue]

If you want to blow something up, you can probably find a way to do it in a safe, controlled way. [ Please don't accidentally set something on fire (he firmly has to remind himself that would be bad). ]

Wouldn't mind trying 4 and 13 myself.

[admemoriam]

[Oh no, an adult. Noah tries to look normal and competent.]

Don't worry, we'll be safe! [Lies.] And dude, have you heard of those peppers that they make you sign a waiver to eat? Some place up in Jersey makes wings with them. I want to try one of those.

[valuemeal]

Are you really expecting people to just offer you a kiss?!

[ Not that a lot of people wouldn't just do that, but Hyunsoo seems so scandalized by the very idea he can't help but speak up about it.. his cheeks are even a little red at the very thought. ]

[admemoriam]

It's just a kiss. It's not a big deal, or anything.

[Says the guy who made out with his best friend just to show her what it was like.]

[sidecars]

Who is the Lord of the Rings? What kinda rings are we talking about here?

[admemoriam]

Oh, it's these movies, which are based on these books, and they're all about a bunch of guys trying to throw a cursed ring in a volcano. You should definitely watch them.
