Do I have to pay for the damages? [Closed, Alastair]

Though it'd been a few days since Alaistair's visit to the Eastern Capital to procure people and food for his place of his business, he was still feeling pain in his hand from when that brat with the yoyo hit his hand and smashed him into the car! His back had, in fact, been a little achy, and he only realized until after the event he hurt himself a bit.

"I must be getting a bit too soft," he thought to himself, rubbing his back through the black t-shirt he had on. Despite being a reputable owner of a casino/hotel/restaurant chain, Alaistair often wore clothes a commoner would wear. The particular shirt he was wearing had partially goofy, in the charming sense, cartoon skull and crossbones that appeared to be looking out with the right eye front with the phrase, 'Eye see you looking at me,' followed by a series of, 'Ha's,' led by a, 'Nyeh.' Alaistair found this on another, much more pleasant, walk around the block, at a small-time stand selling various types of clothes with splendid, cheesy, and intimidating pieces of art on them! He paired this with his usual boots and brown jeans.

Alaistair was sitting at the end of the bar, drinking some coffee while reading some of the news of current events. In particular, he was reading about the most recent event between the Earth and Vegeta. Apparently, when there was no one coming to meet him in the Vegetan jail cell, a bunch of people had been fighting on Vegeta with Vi-Poi, himself, along with a bunch of others. News still rolling in about the event and it was lit up in the fire of propaganda! The details of actually happened were still coming in, but what HAD been known was that Vi-Poi had gone there to attempt steering Habana and her forces from engaging in anymore planet grabbing and it went sour. Bodies were involved.

And as was thinking about the scenery of the battle, one body actually came crashing in through the building in a grand fireball! It startled Alaistair's customers, causing them to flee from the scene. Alarms starting blaring, initiating a call to the police, or the BBA, Alaistair didn't quite know who was going to be contacted. The Devil, meanwhile, rushed over to where the fireball landed, several feet from Dorgia's now ruined front desk with the very stone demon gasping at the damage done with not a sound coming from his open mouth! Eres managed to keep business calm in the restaurant area of the hotel, giving people the chance to eat in peace.

"This is... Odd," Alaistair thought aloud, looking down in the small crater made into the marble floor. He looked over at Dorgia, asking him, "You alright?"

"... I just had the floor nicely polished," Dorgia whimpered.

Alaistair waved his hand to cool him down, emotionally, as he stated, "It'll be fine. We'll get this all fixed up and figure out why the hell..."

The Devil brushed the smoke away, showing a small, bald-headed girl lying in the center, with no energy present. This poised alarm from Alaistair, rushing over to the girl while shouting, "Call an ambulance! NOW DORGIA!"

He got next to her and put his hand down to her her face. Heat pulsed from her, causing Alaistair to wince and shake that hand! He pointed at Dorgia, who was already in the midst of a call on a scouter visor with the emergency callers, ordering him, "Get some water! Her body's extremely hot!"

(Jishu Hofferson, your go!)

Alaistair heard a groan come from the girl, as Dorgia rushed into the restaurant and was asking Eres for lots of ice, in a surprisingly calm fashion. He turned to her, seeing hair having suddenly formed upon her previously bald dome! She struggled to speak, sounding greatly tired. Dorgia came walking over with a bucket that was easily causing the exterior of it to 'frost' over from how cold the water inside was. He didn't bother to wait and splashed her with it, causing her to freak out and call Dorgia a clod!

Dorgia became much less upset with the comment, telling her, "There'll be some towels coming to dry you up. If you are cold, head to the open fireplace in the lounge for warmth."

He walked back to his desk, giving a new employee the bucket before sitting down and waving at one of the new employees to bring the customers back in and that things would be alright. Meanwhile, Alaistair stood up with his hand held out to her. She being awake and still not a drop of presence there told him this girl was mechanical in nature! He figured she'd be fine moving around at this point.

"That was a surprising fall you had," he stated to her, while looking up at her entry path, "No one was hit when you came crashing in through my business on any of the floors, amazingly enough! I'm impressed!"

He was being partially sarcastic, sensing no one having been in her path in the upper levels of his hotel before the event. Dorgia, however, was getting dozens upon dozens of calls from the rooms, much of it being about not being able to get over to their rooms due to a giant hole barring entry to the otherside! He was personally becoming fumed as he repeatedly told them, "We will get you safely to your rooms. Yes. I will arrange a meeting with the owner for you on terms of what you can get, due to this inconvenience... Thank you."

This happened several times over, forcing Dorgia to bring over a few new employees who learned the system to take over while he was forced to talk and negotiate with those who were staying and being inconvenienced by this.

Alaistair simply smiled, but in the back of his head, at the single utter about Collard, alarms were flaring up in his head! He retorted half heartedly, "No... No it's fine... Welcome to Earth!"

"Okay... Cause for alarm," Alaistair relayed to Dorgia, his telepathic voice higher pitched than normal, "This girl may or may not be a creation of those saiyans that took us in on Vegeta..!"

Dorgia stopped briefly answering a customer that was on a tirade, while he looked back at Alaistair, who's gaze was affixed on the girl. He turned away, resuming his calling.

"Well... You're clearly a android," Alaistair stated to her rather brashly, "When the police, ambulances, or BBA soldiers arrive, they'll be able to help you out. If you need a drink or something, I'll get you one myself. You only need to name it!"

(Jishu Hofferson)

"I don't know where those two are," Alaistair stated, to her, "But unless they turn up in the next few minutes, they'll be needing to assist you wherever it is you're taken to for temporary repairs... Assuming they're on the way."

Alaistair got up, choosing a drink would be appropriate, but not for her... It was actually for himself. He was thinking, "What the actual hell happened on Vegeta that a damn Hofferson droid doing on Earth... What the actual hell happened on Vegeta?!"

"Whatever the case is, you should go with the BBA or whoever shows up and just guide them on how to maintain you until your friends show," Alaistair told her.

(Jishu Hofferson)

"It stands for Blue Banner Army," Alaistair replied, making his way over to the restaurant area slowly with hands on his hips, "And to solve a headache, a drink is always good. Doesn't matter what it is! It's the universal sign of you need something to eat or drink... In your case, though? Not sure!"

Alaistair walked into the neatly lit restaurant, waving the android girl to come join him. He might as well learn why she came to this planet. He suspected that she might be someone looking for Alaistair, since he busted out of the jail with the others. Eres had been at the front, sitting on the end of the bar in her usual red dress. She was actually relaxing, finding those that passed her initial testing acceptable in her kitchen and bar!

Her boss took the seat next to her and signalled the bartender over. The girl walked over, asking what he'd like, to which he responded with a grunt, "Neat whiskey double..."

"Oooh," Eres spoke up snidely, "Did something break, Ali?"

The Devil looked over at her with his eyes narrowed, but didn't say anything aloud. He got the glass of amber fluid and in a quick tilt of his head, downed it without hesitation! After that, he spoke to her, telepathically, "It's possible the damn saiyan brat and his family are looking for us... That, or something happened on Vegeta when we broke out and now they sent that girl over there, a android, for some reason!"

"... I see," Eres stated with a frown, "It's becoming a rough day pretty quickly."

"You can say that."

(Jishu Hofferson)

Speaking of walking issues, the android came into the restaurant, as Alaistair stated she should, and was quick to converse with the two. Eres turned to her with a small smile, stating to her, "Of course! This place is called the Cherry Valley Loft. It's intended to be a place where you can go relax, and indulge in higher class lifestyle for a surprisingly cheap price..."

Eres paused with the girl talking about Alaistair, prying into him about not getting drunk and becoming an issue for her to deal with. Eres turned away, crossing her legs with a smile and a snorting laugh, that was quite obvious. Alaistair frowned, raising an eyebrow and looking at the pink haired woman, who told him, "Don't look at me, diamond boy..!"

"Riiiight," Alaistair stated, turning back to Jishu with a forced smile. It was one that he'd practiced for some time, looking like an actual one! He continued, "It's just to numb the head a bit when a headache starts coming along from unfortunate circumstances... Speaking of, we've not had an introduction yet, have we? My name's Al, and this snarky woman over here's Eres-"

"Hello," she singed on queue!

Alaistair then pointed to the grumpy old man with his thumb, who's craggy skin seemed to be filling up with some frustration building in him. Dorgia looked and waved with a genuine smile on his face, before grabbing his cane and walking over to one of the elevators, getting genuinely angry with whomever.

"The angry old man over there with the stony skin's Dorgia. He's the organizer, as well as the main bouncer of the Loft, and from the looks of it, he's about to show the bouncer part of his work... Been trying to get some people to help him out there, but none have worked yet so far, although there're these two guys I met in the Eastern Capital that showed some promise, but I digress! Your name, meteor robo-girl?"

(Jishu Hofferson)

She gave herself the name, Jishu. It sounded, to Alaistair, that she was trying to play a pun off, 'tissue.' She went on to apologize more about a physical issue making her crashland the way she did! Alaistair waved it off, restating, "It's fine... Damages can be repaired fairly easily."

He looked to her, continuing with, "I am suggesting you do let the BBA's people look at the damages. Most are androids like yourself. They would even be able to improve your systems, especially if you and your friends work with them!"
