Hello Christmas

[abugslife]

[Over the last few days, people who engage in various holiday-related activities might notice that they are being watched by a Gebian. He looks exactly the same as most of his kin, but he seems to react in a somewhat abashed manner when you spot him. And...]

Hello, I am Pentu. Do not mind me; I am here merely to research Earth holidays such as Christmas, Hannukah and Kwanzaa. Would you mind answering a few questions?

[He talks! The voice is kinda insectoid and awkward, like how a cute bug would talk on a kid's cartoon, but still. What exactly were you doing that grabbed his interest? Maybe you knew in advance about him and it's a planned endeavour, even.]

"Of course!" Dido says with cheer. She gets down on her knees and starts gathering snow. "Tell me when they're big enough! Then we'll get to the arranging!"

[Suddenly Dido's back is hit by a snowball! Who could have thrown it?]

Ha ha, it was a clever trick! You have been tricked.

Dido, her back still turned, goes very still. "I see you've picked up the basics rather quickly, Minister Pentu!"

She turns around, five snowballs buried in the crook of her arm while she fingers one in her other hand. "Not let's see how you fare against a season master of the Snowball! Yah!"

And on December 29th, 20XX U.D., Dido Sybil flings a snowball at Pentu, striking the first blow of the first interplanetary snowball fight...

Do not underestimate me. I may not look like it, but I used to be the rollball champion of my university! En guarde!

[The fight erupts. Surely there won't be no survivors.]
