Two riders on a winged horse: one a bandit

Meant to tack this onto my description yesterday of my skeleton Halloween costume. To recap, the costume consisted of a jointed plastic skeleton attached to the front of my body, so that when I moved my trunk or limbs, the skeleton followed suit. The thing I noticed after having bonded with the character of the costume for a brief while, immediately after having taken the costume off, my mind was still focused on the movements of the skeleton. Except, since I was no longer wearing the costume, I suddenly realized that my own skeleton (that is, the one inside my body) works in exactly the same way. When I move in a certain position or way, my own skeleton follows suit in precisely the same fashion (but with much better articulation) as my exteriorized skeletal costume-apparatus.
