[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.]

I'm really bad at bowling.

[admemoriam]

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

[fridgeflower]

So would your goal be to win the traditional way? Or the low-score way?

[admemoriam]

Traditional - I've already done it the other way. You have to put the bumpers up, so you can't just do gutter balls on purpose.

[fridgeflower]

Well, I wouldn't do that, but fair enough. I'm pretty sure I can still lose honestly regardless of bumper status.

[admemoriam]

I used to be so bad at it, I once got a spare in the next lane, by accident.

[fridgeflower]

That... That is pretty bad.

[A "told-you-so" grin.]

I used to always bowl against this one friend who was super good, but then I'd go beat him at skating, so it was all good. He couldn't even stay on the board.

[fridgeflower]

I don't think I could do that, either. And I can't bowl.

So you've both got me beat.

[admemoriam]

I could teach you sometime! Once you find your balance it's pretty easy.

[fridgeflower]

Gosh. I don't know. I've never been good for anything even remotely athletic. I'd probably break something just by virtue of trying.
