Alexander went to the best looking hotel nearby and tried to book a suite.
"Welcome to the peninsula, how may I help you?" The reception lady spoke to Alexander in a judgmental tone. Alexander had forgotten that he was in a modern world now and was still wearing his nice Shinigami robes. But Alexander didn't care about his looks. He preferred such clothes than normal pants and shirts.
"How much will a room cost me?" Alexander asked.
"It can cost you anywhere from 500 dollars to 5 thousand. It depends on the level of experience you want." She answered.
"Okay, give me the best one then for 5 days," Alexander said.
The woman busied herself on the computer while Alexander had a sudden realization. He didn't have any cash.
"That will be 25 thousand dollars, sir. Please swipe the card here," she told him.
"Actually, I will be paying in gold," Alexander replied and put a kilogram heavy brick of gold on the counter.
The receptionist was gobsmacked by it. "Umm... sir, I'm gonna have to call the manager. I don't know if this is acceptable."
"Sure, child," Alexander nodded and looked around.
The girl ran away with the gold bar to an office. Soon she returned with an old man who just smiled at Alexander. "Ah, sir. We have booked your room. Please enjoy your stay,"
Alexander took the key and just went to his room on the top floor. ~That was easy,~
He locked himself in and picked up the newspaper.
*POP POP*
Ragnarok and Dobby appeared.
"What are you doing?" Ragnarok asked while searching the fully stocked refrigerator. He took out a beer.
"I am looking for a job. I can't really use gold all the time. Imagine using a gold coin to pay for a roadside hotdog," Alexander said.
Dobby interjected, "But boss, you are probably the most overqualified person in the world. Even if they made you the president, you'd still be overqualified. Are you sure you need to search for jobs?"
"Haha, of course, I need to search. I don't have any degree in this world. And registering myself would be a hassle. So, I am looking for a good skill-based job. My background is also that of a mad scientist so that limits the prospects." Alexander replied.
*BOOM*
Suddenly Alexander and Dobby found themselves covered in cold beer.
"What the hell Ragnarok, can't you be civilized for a minute?" Alexander complained.
"Ain't my fault. Someone shook the can before putting it here." Ragnarok said and took another can.
*BOOM*
This one sprayed on them again, but Alexander and Dobby saved themselves. Soon, the three were wearing bathrobes as they decided to take turns taking baths and getting the beer off of themselves.
*Ding Dong*
"Oh, it must be the food I ordered," Alexander said and went to check up.
The second he opened the door he was crowded by 5 policemen.
"This is him," the hotel manager shouted from behind the wall of policemen.
Soon, Dooby and Ragnarok also came to see what the commotion was all about.
Ragnarok scoffed, "Hah, and how much did you get? ten cents?"
"Actually it was 50,000 dollars and also a business card from a studio agent. He works for some Universal Music Company. He said that I can become a millionaire and recorded my song and bought the copyright for it from me." Dobby revealed.
Alexander and Ragnarok's jaws had dropped by now.
"Tsk... it seems I'm the only unlucky one," Alexander cursed.
*SIRENS*
"Argh, what's this noise now?" Ragnarok shouted and went to the balcony to check. There he looked up at the sky.
"ALEX, LOOK!" He shouted.
Alexander went out and looked. There was a huge flying saucer in the sky. Probably 15 miles in diameter. "I guess these are aliens. Now, I can also confidently say that we are in the Independence day movie world."
"Haha, I'm gonna have to stop these aliens it seems. But, we must stop riots going on in the city now. People think this threat is temporary and try to loot shops not realizing that if the aliens attack they will all die." Alexander decided.
Dobby nodded his head, "Yeah, I will send our people to the streets to maintain order."
"I will go to the White House then. Along with work, I will have my interview," Alexander replied.
"Are you still looking for a job?" Ragnarok asked.
"I made a commitment that I would be there so I will be. A man should never break his words." Alexander quoted.
"Ah, you should stop drinking Iroh's tea. It's getting in your head," Ragnarok joked and flew out.
...
Along with New York, the alien ships had appeared all around the world. The world was in a mess at the moment but surprisingly, things were brought back in control by mysterious men in Santa Claus suits.
White House,
"Who are these men? Are they some kind of secret organization?" The president asked his defense secretary.
"We don't know, sir. If they were really that top-secret then I'm sure we aren't supposed to know." The defense secretary answered.
"Well, let's just thank heavens that they are helping. What's the status of our friendship message?" The president inquired.
"It was destroyed by the enemy fire, sir,"
*Sigh*'
The president tiredly sighed and looked out of the window at the spaceship above the white house, "God save this world."
