The grey, furred, folded costume in your hands feels a little heavier than the other costumes. You initially come to the conclusion that it must be a larger animal, such as an elephant, rhinoceros or hippopotamus, but why is the costume covered with a thin layer of soft fur then? All of those animals have essentially bare skin.
As you unfold the suit, something doesn't feel right. Baffled by the number of sleeves, on the costume, you try to count the number of sleeves: one, two, three, four…
Five…
Six…?
As you stretch the costume out, three pairs of what seem to be dog paws fall into your eyes, each being the end of the respective sleeves that you have counted, in addition to a short, . It must be a suit for a canine centaur sort of thing, but without the head. Realizing that there is a zipper between the first and second pairs of sleeves, you unzip it, splitting the costume into two portions: one intended to be worn on the torso, with the paws detachable, probably to be worn like gloves; the other intended to be worn below the waist, but unlike traditional centaur suits, the lower half dies not have a zipper that opens for a second person to enter, seemingly only allowing one person to place his/her legs down the front (second) pair of sleeves.
Curious, you slowly tuck your legs into the sleeves for the forelegs on the lower portion of the costume. But how exactly do you move the hind legs without anything inside the sleeves for them, then? You do try to walk forwards, but the hindquarters of the costume drag on the ground, feeling like pure dead weight.
Frustrated, you want to take the portion of the costume off your legs, only to find you can't — the costume had firmly stuck itself to your legs! You begin to fret, but realize the upper portion you have set aside. Maybe you have to put it on as well for the magic of the costume to fully work!
No time to wait, you think to yourself, as you don the upper portion of the costume, sort of like a backward jacket, then zippered it before putting on the paw gloves, zippering them onto the costume as well. Still, nothing happens. Does this have anything to do with the missing head, you begin to wonder? Should you force the costume off before it sticks to you again?
