[This totally happened during Christmas time. Ignore the date.]

[A small Gebian spaceship, similar in shape to a gilded ancient-era vessel like all of them, arrives at Alhambra. The ship's door opens, and out comes a procession of at least dozen Gebians, most of them carrying musical instruments - very few of them look similar to anything commonly used on Earth, but all of them play music. Very loud music. Also, all of them are singing in Gebian, a choir of chittering, insectoid voices. The melody is a little bit cacophonic, but it might sound somewhat familiar to some people, even if they won't likely won't be able to put their finger on why. There's some holiday elements to it, though maybe because some of the instruments being played include bells.]

[The one leading the parade and directing it with her staff is Hetepheres. She somehow manages to stay calm and dignified despite the mayhem.]

The royal orchestra of Geb has arrived. Together with volunteers they have come to give their thanks, by playing their own arrangement of a local Earth song for all to hear. It is this time of year now. Enjoy, celebrate, and be merry.

Gebians on parade?! Where's my sketchbook!

[Izuru tries to yell over the noise.]

I do, but... it's not the same! A photo can't capture the feel of the moment, it has to be real time - or in your memories.

It's quite a sight, that for sure! Well, and sound too... I'll be sure to remember it well, you can believe it general!

...what a beautiful and deep song. I never knew about this song. I guess it's true that foreigners always appreciate local culture and history more...

Hey hey, can you teach me a Gebian song as a reciprocation?

"Um..."

Dido keeps pace with Hetepheres...and holds out a scarf knitted in imperial gold, black and red.

"For you, General," She says. "Merry Christmas."
