As a cast member of the off-off-off-Broadway comedy play about a girl and her horse, of course I was included in the upcoming Halloween party. It was to be held next week the on Monday before the 31st. It's an off day since almost no one goes to see any show then. On the other days, there was a pretty good sized audience so the run was extended for another month.
I was part of the costume custodian along with my co-worker Terrence.
"Hey, Gere!" Terrence greeted me as he entered stage left. We needed to make sure everything was set for tonight's performance. He slapped my ass. "I'd know that butt anywhere."
"Yow! Terr!" I called back. My upper body was inside the front-head piece of the horse. "Hey. You're here just in time to help out with this fucking thing."
Making sure the cumbersome horse costume was relatively clean inside and out as well as making sure it needed no repairs was a two person job. I had to put the top on to make sure all the mechanics operated correctly. And the backup; we had a spare top just in case.
After making sure everything was in order, Terrence helped me off with the top and help with the examination of the rest of the costume.
That night's performance was great. Friday's were usually a pretty good crowd watching and the cast were totally on. One of the best, since we've been running. After the show, we needed to make sure everything was properly taken care of. Mostly everyone was gone by the time Terrence and I were done.
"Hey, Terr! Feel like grabbing a brewski or two?" I asked.
"Yeah. Sounds great! I need it after tonight." He replied. "What a great show, eh?"
"Yeah, eh?" Our Canadian was showing through.
At Millar's, we sat at the bar, discussing the show and downing shots with beer chasers. Terrence had Canadian Whisky but I didn't like the taste of rye so I had bourbon instead.
"Are we supposed to dress up for the Halloween party Monday?" I asked him. "Stupid eh? We're taking care of the costumes and I don't know what costume to wear."
Terrence choked on his drink supressing his laugh. "Yeah, eh? I hadn't really thought about it. Any ideas?"
A few more shot followed by a few more beers resulted in Terrence's epiphany. "Hey! I think it would be a funny gag if we went in the horse costume. We could use the spare one so Bob and Doug (the horse actors) won't get pissed. Plus, afterwards we could split in two. It will be hilarious you walking around in the top and me with just the bottoms."
I guess being more than slightly drunk, I thought it was a great idea. Plus I didn't have a better plan.
The Sunday show was okay. Not as good as the Friday's. With the sparser audience, the cast seemed less inspired to perform. Still, it was performed well as professionals do.
Terrence and I went for beers after the show. I was excited for tomorrow night's party. I mean who wouldn't; free food and booze. "Hey, I can't wait for tomorrow, eh?"
"Yeah, me too!" I answered in agreement.
We had a few more; I really lost count of how many more.
"Phht!" Terrence laughed. "I just had a thought... No... I couldn't."
"Wait! What? You can't say something like that and not finish!" I told him. "What were you laughing at?"
"Well... I was... I was thinking I could modify the bottoms slightly..." He started. "No...no, I couldn't. We could get fired."
"Modified? How?" I prodded.
"Well... I could sew a hole in the bottoms and when we see some sexy little thing, I could grow my horse cock through the hole." Terrence whispered. "No... we can't."
"Mind you, I wouldn't mind sticking mine into Cherri. She's pretty hot." I told him. "Wha...? What do you mean 'your horse cock'?"
Terrence took a quick glance around before he took my wrist and pulled my hand to his leg. I pulled my hand back like it was burned as my mouth dropped open. "Oh my gawd!"
