Derek Matthews shared a video. 11/4 near Tisse

[The video open to Derek with a serious face. When he starts speaking, it comes out in a English accent. (ooc. The clip is mildly spoilery for Season 3 of The Flash).] So... it's been two days and I think I've calmed down a bit. I've spoken to a couple of people about it, but I'd like to know if anyone else has had to deal with this. I know on this app people have acquired entire languages, such as Japanese and Russian, however, I have yet to come across someone who has received an entire accent. I am originally from England, but once I moved to America I completely lost it and I've been speaking with an American accent since... until now I guess. [Derek pauses for a second before speaking again.] Bloody hell, please tell me I'm not the only one who has had to deal with this? [Derek attempts to speak in an American accent but comes out horribly with a really bad southern flair to it.] I can't even do a proper American Accent anymore! [Derek reverts back to his English accent.] I sound like a complete tosser!

[Kamui claps when he's flipped the bird. He is totally applauding Derek for responding in video format. That takes guts and is also funny as balls.]

Wasn't trying to. Why would you want your American accent back anyway? You are now officially more attractive than every single one of your friends.

[blondferret]

I was already more attractive than all of my friends, I do not need assistance.

[foeyay]

Ooh, you've got the attitude down too. Didn't even use a contraction.

[blondferret]

And apparently you know grammar. Congrats you've passed the second grade.

[foeyay]

Yup, my mom came to the graduation ceremony and everything. [This dick is still grinning. I'm so sorry.] We had cupcakes.

[blondferret]

Do you enjoy other people's pain?

[foeyay]

When I'm in the mood for it. With all the shit I've been hearing lately, I'm definitely in the mood for it.

[He shrugs. What can you do?]

[blondferret]

Oh look, I've met a sadist.

[foeyay]

Congrats! Is this when I toss the confetti?

[blondferret]

Sure, why not you weirdo.

[foeyay]

[He's standing up. And throwing on a jacket. Oh dear.]

Stay put. I'll be back in ten minutes with confetti.

[blondferret]

Wait... are you serious?

[Derek leans back against his couch.]

Hmm... I suppose I'm in the weird corner of the app.

[foeyay]

Says the guy with a magical accent.

[It's his last quip before he takes off.

Exactly twelve minutes later, he's back on the app, and yes, he's ripping open a small bag of rainbow confetti.]

[blondferret]

You're late. You said ten minutes, it's been twelve. It rude to keep someone waiting.

[Obviously Derek doesn't care, he is just curious on how to get under Kamui's skin. He's just getting started in the discovery process.]

[foeyay]

We already established I'm a sadist. Maybe I did it on purpose.

[No, he didn't.

But he's just as unfazed by the chiding as he's been toward everything else so far. Punctuality, it turns out, is not one of his weaknesses. That long braid hanging over his shoulder though? Who can tell.]

Besides, I come bearing actual confetti. [Riiiip goes the bag, sending several of the confetti pieces flying into his hair.] You should be celebrating.

[blondferret]

[Derek slow claps and speaks in a monotone voice.]

Yay... I've met another sadist.

[Derek stops clapping.]

This is like my what... hmmm, I've lost count. Why? Because I'm a CSI and I meet sadists all the time. Pray tell what makes you different than other sadists?

[foeyay]

[Kamui immediately pulls a face. Combined with the rainbow confetti though, his grimace is a bit unbalanced.]

Seriously? You're CSI? Gross. Now I have to go take a shower.

[blondferret]

Gross? I beg your pardon? That's rude.

[foeyay]

Yes. It was. Did you use your CSI detectiving skills to figure that out?

[This sarcastic acknowledgement is the closest thing Derek's getting to an apology.]

I'm not a fan.

[blondferret]

You not a fan of CSI or not a fan of cops? Most people forget that I am not a cop.

[foeyay]

What are you then? A Cranky Subpar Intern?

[blondferret]

Listen here you brat. I'm the person who processes the evidence found at the scene of a crime. Without me, a cop couldn't even do their job.

[foeyay]

So let them trip over their own damn shoelaces a few times! Give us a show every once in a while. Y'know, something worth watching.

[blondferret]

Solving a crime and putting a criminal behind bars isn't something worth watching to you?

[foeyay]

Depends on the criminal.
