[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.]

And skirts. Really, really impractical.

That entirely depends on the skirt in question and what you are wearing beneath it.

[Though being a sniper, pants were a necessity. For someone like Marjara... maybe not so much.]

I've always found them a bother.

What about a longcoat?

Stylish but the design needs to not impede movement. I suggest there be a slit up the back of it to prevent it from tripping you up.

Yes, I've found that to be useful with traveling cloaks. Especially in close quarters.

There are many reasons to avoid close quarters. Are you not worried about accidentally setting yourself on fire, little mage?

I'm not afraid to take someone down with me.

Besides, my flames won't hurt me.

I do not doubt that. [Though Marjara was tiny, she was quite fierce. It was admirable.]

Interesting. I did not known fire was so discerning.

Fire isn't. But I've known it since I was a child. I know how to walk through it without being burned.

There's a risk, of course, as there always is working with anything as dangerous and unpredictable. But I haven't been afraid of it for a very long time.

Any fire, or just that created by your magic?

We could find out.

That sounds like a fun way to spend an evening.

[Did this mean she got to set Marjara on fire? She wasn't remotely a pyro but how often does a person get the opportunity to set someone on fire?]

Doesn't it just?

I've got ways of keeping it under control, just in case.

And here I was planning on bringing a fire blanket with me. You are petite - easy to wrap up and smother if the flames begin to burn you.

So long as you stopped once the flames were out.

Ah... ma cherie, I like you. No need to worry about that.

The feeling's mutual.

So when shall we try this?

I am free after my mid-day class.

Class? Are you teaching or student...ing?

Teaching. I am offering three classes to lesson my time on the monitors.

[She finds monitor duty incredibly boring.]

What are you teaching?

My native language of French; It is an Earth language. I am also doing basic firearms/marksmanship classes and parkour... Which someone decided to list as 'Rooftop Running 101'.

I decided not to bother getting it changed.

It does sound more exciting that way.

So...you're teaching people how to use guns?

[ This may be relevant to her interests. ]

It seemed not that many actually knew what parkour was. Though I did have a student ask me why bother with the class when he could just fly with his ring. [She smirked, feeling no need to explain what happened next. Marjara would figure it out on her own.]

Would you like to learn how to shoot a gun, mon ami?

I think I would, actually. It seems like a useful skill to have.
