Hey, it's me. Sorry for the delay but if you're not swamped with City Guardian duties, I'd like to finally show you around my subarchway. You mentioned wanting to boost up Nova City's defenses against supernatural threats, right? Today's a good opportunity to check out some of the hardware we have that would be very useful for us in the future.
Weiss Schnee
Hello, this is Troy Dantes. You know, "James Blond". I haven't had the chance to thank you for helping me out when I first arrived. I know it's been some time since then, but I'd like to give back to you. I'd like to show you around my subarchway. Last time I saw ya, it looks like you could use a break.
Athrun Zala
Hello, this is Troy Dantes. The guy in the suit of armor. You showed me around Onogoro Island once. I thought it'd only be fair if I showed you around my subarchway. There's a surplus of old, barely-used firearms going on there right now if you want to check it out. You can give it to your boys back in the island if you wish, if not well, there's still a lot of tech there that might interest you at least.
Aqua
Hey, it's Troy. So, how about that coffee? Sorry if I've went dark on ya for a while there, I've been busy and I assume you've been too with that project you've been cookin' up. If you're free I'd like to take you to a nice day out in my subarchway. I'll show you around my city and get a glimpse of my homeworld, it'll be fun.

Audio
It sounds like it will be fun. Where should we meet? I'm afraid I don't know where your subarchway is exactly.
[Audio]
[He means that literally. It's a city in a desert!]
[Audio]
[She only has the clothes she woke up in so she's hoping her usual blue outfit is okay.]
Do you remember where I'm staying?
[Audio] -> [Action]
[Troy follows his words with a confident chuckle.]
An hour it is. I look forward to seeing you.

[Precisely an hour after their conversation, Troy showed up as promised. He would have showed up with a fancy car and show off like he does with the women in his world. But Aqua is different. In fact, he's never really met a woman like her before. So he showed up at her townhouse's doorstep with nothing but the (stylish) casual clothes on his back and a warm smile on his face]
Hey. Ready to go?
[Action]
A warm smile plays across her lips as Troy walks up and with a quick nod she replies.]
Yes. Lead the way.
[She's a little excited to see what sort of world Troy is from. Her understand of this place isn't complete but the fact that many worlds seem to meet here has secured her attention. Even if she could leave she'd what to find out what is happening here first. The worlds shouldn't be connected like this.]
[Action]
[Seeing Aqua still wearing her original outfit, Troy raised a brow and wondered just how much she'll stand out in Dubai. He sighs through his nose, quietly, scratching his jaw with his thumb in wonder. Well his world has its fair share of odd fashion trends and he sees them enough in Dubai that he could just say Aqua is one of those people]
Well... I guess you'll be alright. You'll get funny looks with that outfit on but you wont be completely out of place. Either way, you look fantastic.
[Troy's smile returned on his face, stepping aside with his arm extended towards the sidewalk outside.]
[Action]
I don't actually own anything else.
[His compliment comes as a little bit of a surprise however it makes Aqua smile.]
If you don't think this is suitable I can see about buying something else.
[Not that Aqua has ever really shopped for clothes. She steps forward and moves to stand by Troy's side.]

Handwaveing the rest! :D
Audio
[There's definitely a tone of interest to his voice.]
All right. I'll take you up on that offer. You've piqued my curiosity.
[Audio]
[Troy sends a text message through the network with a map of Nova City. A red dot points to where the subarchway manifested]
Re: [Audio]
[Athrun makes sure he receives the map before heading out. Once he sees where it is, he knows exactly where to go.]
[Audio] -> [Action]
Hoy!
[Troy waves his arm as soon as he spotted Athrun in the distance. For once he's not wearing his armor, and looks like a regular guy with his casual clothes on. If regular guys openly carry a handgun on their sides, that is]
So, do you just want the tour of where the cool toys are or do you want to see the city too? I figured since you live here, you like technologically advanced cities.
[Action]
Oh, uh, hey. Sorry, it took me a few seconds to recognize you without the armor.
[As to the question? Hmm. It would probably depend on what the city contained.]
What kind of sights are there to see within the city?
[Action]
Besides the usual, what makes Dubai differ from the rest of the cities here are the luxury resort hotels and beaches. There's artificial islands, a mall with an aquarium and indoor ski-slope, museums, and some cultural parks showcasing traditional customs and things from the city's historical past. Amusement parks too, if you're in to that kind of thing. I sure am!
[Well Fayren has a beach, but it looks kind of depressing as far as beaches go in Troy's opinion. Troy didn't linger any longer and proceeded to lead the way to the gate while he talked. In an instant, Athrun and Troy would find themselves on a landing pad at the top of a towering building.
The warmth brought by the desert air and the sea breeze meets on the top, which would feel a lot different from the weather they were at just now. From the pad, Athrun could see a white sand beach and a waterpark just passed the bridge connecting the lone building on the sea from the mainland.]
Well, kid. Welcome to Dubai.
[Troy extends his arm and presents the city skyline in the distance; tall glass spires and lush greenery could be seen as far as the eye could.]
Not bad, huh?

There is no need to apologize, in fact your timing couldn't be better. How soon would be convenient to meet?
[Video]
As soon as you arrive here, we can get going. I just finished checking the spider tanks. It looks like we can get those upgrades after all. I'll tell you the details when we get to the facility in Dubai.
[Video] -> [Action]
That is excellent news. Very well, my ETA will be fifteen minutes.
[She ends the feed, then arrives near exactly as predicted, the familiar vehicle pulls up near Troy, then the young lady steps out in her usual uniformed attire and greets the young man with a nod.]
Are there any preparations I should make before we head in?
[Action]
You should be fine. I already told my people back home that I'm bringing someone in for a tour. Wasn't easy, but I always find a way.
[Troy spoke with calm confidence. He points at Bakuzan before he speaks again]
You can bring your sword with you, but you might want to change outfits to something more casual and fitting a hot climate. You'll stand out if you're wearing that.
[He already brought in someone with an outfit that stood out from the rest. He got away with it by saying she's from a different branch, and that won't work the second time.]
[Action]
Is that right? Perhaps I will have to put that talent to the test sometime.
[Unfortunately it isn't exactly clear if that was a joke or not. She takes a moment to consider his advice, then pardons herself to head back inside her vehicle. About seven minutes pass, followed by a flash of light and once she steps back out, Satsuki is wearing a sky-blue blouse, jeans tan hat and matching open-toe sandals. her hair is done in a braid and she has a handbag, with her sword nowhere to be seen.]
Apologies for the delay.
no subject
Uhhh...
[He was perplexed, to say the least. As Satsuki steps out of the car looking quite dashing despite her more normal appearance, Troy tilts his head slightly]
You know, you might want to share to me one day why things just light up whenever you're around. But you look great.
[He laughs softly, pressing a button on his translucent smartphone-like device to call on his own vehicle: a sleek hovering car with doors that slided open. Inside were four seats that faced each other.]
Hop in. I know you have your own set of wheels, but we won't trigger security if we come in with a sort of vehicle they know.
[As soon as Troy entered the vehicle, the screens and displays of the car lit up, activating]

I need to look for an 'embarrassed' icon!
That would be too cute for the universe to handle

[ Her answer is very different depending on his response. ]
no subject
A tour.
[Both corners of his lips were lifted when he spoke. There's no malice or hints of mischief in the way he carried himself, but he was amused at Weiss' response]
Your company organizes events right? With the next months going to be a lot colder, I suspect some of you would want an escape. A vacation even.
no subject
I like the cold, but I wouldn't mind taking a tour. I know at least a couple people who would greatly appreciate it.
[ She has no doubt that dragging Sun out of a place that's warm even in winter will be a difficult task once he hears about it. ]
no subject
Sounds great. Where do you wish to meet? My subarchway is in Nova City but I'm currently in Genessia, so if you're at your office I can pick you up there.
no subject
I'm at Schnee Company's Nova City branch right now, so if you're on the way anyway, swing by on your way into the archway.
no subject
[Troy ends the feed with a nod, and precisely five minutes later he showed up at the Nova City branch of the Schnee Company with his white hovercraft car parked in front. He steps out once he got there, waiting for Weiss to come out of the doors]
