Bucket List

[simply_suggesting]

What better way to spend a pleasant summer's afternoon than enjoying the gentler parts of the Nexus' Wilds? That's what one particular man is doing, anyway. Dressed in some kind of purple-and-brown regalia, a masked man hovers, levitating in the air. One of his legs is crossed over the other as if he were in an unseen chair, but the closest thing to support is his cape which flows down to the grassy ground.

When there aren't too many people walking the nearby paths he busies himself playing a violin, though his technique is backwards – left hand on the bow, pale right hand on the neck. It makes sense, really, given that he can't possibly press the fingerboard with his spidery, skeletal left hand. The song he plays is at once melancholy and hopeful.

As people pass by or gather to hear, he stops his playing to ask, "If you knew you only had a short while to live – a month or two, let's say – what would you do with your time? Try new experiences? Make amends? Get revenge? Or would you go on living your life as you always have?"
