[Either Widowmaker had managed to talk someone else into holding her omnicomm up or she managed to prop the device up and get herself exactly where she wanted to be in frame. Given her perfectionist tendencies, it was more likely the latter and she was wearing something quite different than the last time she'd been on the network. Far more practical then the violet catsuit she'd had on before, the color worked better against her blue skin and most of her tattoos were covered, leaving just the one on her right forearm visible past the edge of her glove. Sharp eyes would see the patches on her shoulders were the Legion insignia and even her rifle showed some modification.]

As it appears that purple is no longer in fashion, I decided to switch my look a bit for the field. [Widowmaker's lips curled in a smile that hinted that there was some kind of inside joke taking place.] Something that I consider a 'blast from the past'. Tell me... how does it look?

[She extended her left hand forward in a shooting motion at the omnicomm. Having been kept out of the Olum mission for obvious reasons, designing this superhero costume was how she passed the time. And she wanted to show it off.]

Very nice.

[araignee_du_soir]

I am pleased you approve. It has been years since I wore this style.

[hallaifyouherd]

Well it's quite fitting. Maybe I should change up my look a little as well.

[araignee_du_soir]

The special tailors here know what they are doing and the materials are excellent. Every woman needs to do something different every once in a while. Perhaps it would do you some good. [An eyebrow rose.] Help move further from whence you came.

[hallaifyouherd]

The fashions here are a little strange, but...I suppose it couldn't hurt to look into it.

It looks ... familiar.

[Fareeha had seen her around - had recognized her from the dossiers Helix had about known and wanted troublemakers in their world. But, as she'd given Junkrat a second chance, she had extended that same courtesy to Widowmaker .]

[But there was something she couldn't quite lay her finger on about this new outfit.]

[Ah... she'd been wondering when Fareeha would stop giving her looks when she thought the sniper wasn't looking the few times they crossed paths. Given that she hadn't been attacked or subjected to a hero monologue, it seemed Fareeha wasn't aware of who was responsible for dear maman's disappearance.

How fortunate.]

Is your memory finally wandering that far back, Fareeha?

enjoy the show, Sombra

[justice_from_above]

[There's a rankle of irritation that her first name was used here when she only knows the other woman through reports and this is their first real interaction. Her lips pull into a thin line.]

There are a lot more things I remember than I chose to dwell on.

[Which is an outright lie, the way her relationship with her mother and her yearning to join Overwatch dictated very nearly everything else she did in life years after the fact. Even her tattoo spoke of her unwillingness to let certain things go. Her focus did, however, have a tendency to overshadow some other things (and people) that she'd encountered in that time, so she hasn't reached any deeper realization about who she's talking to.] But I know who you are, Widowmaker, and I can guarantee you Helix would be interested in your whereabouts.

[See she can throw names around too .... but there's still something that's unsettling her. If she can keep Widow talking, she's sure she can figure it out.]

[araignee_du_soir]

Ah... Helix. They could not stop me before, even with Overwatch assistance. I am not concerned about them now. [Especially with them being in another dimension and all...]

And no, mon oisillon, you only think you know who I am. Such is what happens when the cobwebs build up too much inside the mind.

[justice_from_above]

No, you simply concern yourself with Legion, and I will do the same.

[Her way of assuring that, as long as Widowmaker follows Legion's rules, Fareeha won't try to get in her way.]

[But these little hints are getting infuriating, so she can't guarantee she's going to keep a civil tongue about it.] If you have something to say, why don't you come right out and say it?

Practical.

Along with comfortable and stylish. All a woman could ask for.

Armor is not meant for when things go right.

[touchmydragon]

I have no comment on the look. However, it does leave old questions answered and new questions that are better off not asked.

[While being mum, it is Genji seeing pieces fall into place, having had access to enemy profiles back in his Overwatch days.]

[araignee_du_soir]

[Thankfully, Widowmaker hadn't bothered to hide what and who she was. There was only one thing she didn't talk about without a damn good reason.]

You are welcome to ask whatever you would like. That does not mean I will give you an answer, but anger is not something I feel. Though some discretion would be appreciated. [The ultra-justice heroes latching onto things said would just be annoying.]

[touchmydragon]

I do not ask for my own reasons. Besides, as they say in the western world, 'curiousity killed the cat'. While it may not apply in a literal sense, I can imagine it applying in much more figurative ways.

[araignee_du_soir]

I commend you for being aware that nothing good will come from what must be a good many of those questions. Though, perhaps we can discuss your clan over some tea.

[It was such a shame to have a family that had been as powerful as the Shimada clan fade away.]

[touchmydragon]

[His clan, huh? He can see where this was going. And he really had no wish to see his clan revived in any way at all. On the other hand, Genji was good enough at black ops to know to play along.]

I see. I am never opposed to having tea while enjoying a nice night.

[walkingballpit]

[ Robbie tilts his head curiously. ]

Is that an armored chastity belt?

[araignee_du_soir]

[Out of all the possible things anyone could say about her 'new' outfit, that was one that never crossed her mind. Yet, there was no outward reaction to it other than a slight raising of her eyebrows.]

Armored - Yes. Chastity - no. Such would be pointless.

[walkingballpit]

[ Yet it was the second thing he thought of, once he figured out that she was not, in fact, wearing her underwear on the wrong side of her pants. ]

Is chafing a concern? Never had to protect the nethers myself, but I've always thought that metal pants would give the worst diaper rash. I'm not asking about you, by the way. I've got someone very specific in mind that 'constant butt rash due to stupid metal suit' would explain a lot about.

Also - you do not strike me as the sort of lady who needs a chastity belt to protect herself, unless you intend to use it to beat an attack over the head with it.

[araignee_du_soir]

Non, Monseuir. It is quite comfortable, breathes well and the fabric undearneath the armor fits like a second skin. The armor itself is not metal but a light composite substance I am unsure of the makeup.

Though if your... friend is experiencing such irritation, I can recommend some creams that will prevent chafing. [Leotard rash was something she was familiar with from her ballet years.]

Otherwise I must question how 'chastity belt' came to mind. It is an archaic device devised by men so they could control the sexuality of their daughters, treating virginity as something to sell.

[walkingballpit]

Au contraire, mon petit lapin! That's about 65% of the French I remember. Anyway, the she is a he, as far as I know, and friend isn't the word I would go for. I'd be more interested in "how do I make his discomfort worse?" and "is it possible to get itching powder inside a hydraulic suit of borderline-nuclear-powered armor?" This is the sort of information I need to take home with me.

You know. For science.

I thought about calling it a platekini, but it's not really that either. "Codpiece" didn't make the cut either, because I think that's only a frontal thing. And, hey, sometimes made of rabbit fur, which brings us full circle.
