[ A young man with green hair that's almost neon in brightness appears on the video feed, the angle and steadiness of the camera evidence that he does this quite a lot. His eyebrows are too perfect to not be something he maintains and his eyeliner is, as they say, quite on point. The young man's voice is probably familiar to some people around the Quarantine, although a bit younger and not muffled by a cybernetic mask and a synthetic tongue. ] Yo! Look, I don't know where exactly this place is but I'm not complaining— [ He says it like he's used to waking up in strange places he doesn't quite recognize.

He runs a hand across his chin. ]
—because I'm always up for some time to get away from shit, y'know? But I gotta ask, where does everybody have fun around this place? There has to be an arcade around here, right? Or at least a good bar with cheap booze. Drop me some info, I will definitely make it worth your while.

[ The young man smiles and it approaches something playful and almost wicked. Genji Shimada was such a little shit in his youth. ]

[ his pride is a coiled, fanged thing in him, wanting to lash out in reaction to Genji shouting back at him; the deep-rooted need to embody the family name, and have another row with Genji, a repeat of the argument they've had a dozen times before. but he hooks himself desperately to his new focus instead, the core of who he is for Blackwatch: ]

I failed the family. I am not a Shimada any longer. [ and Genji knows him, knows that for Hanzo that's a sentence worse than death. ] And I am hardly a human, am I?

[ he indicates himself, his chassis, one hand coming to rest on his own chest. the metal of his fingers clinks softly against the armour plating there. ]

Overwatch required a weapon. Nothing more.
