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!

That's what I said, but well, it seems that my other is much more interesting to them or something. I take it that your other isn't nice either?

He's a teenage prick. I think he has friends, which I think is a miracle in as of itself. What's your "other self" like?

Some people grow out of it, especially kids when they figure things out.

I think a soldier of fortune working out of Thailand.

Well, he better figure his shit out, because he's a prat.

A soldier of fortune? That has to be some interesting memories.

Are you worried that you might become him?

So far? They aren't too bad. At least I haven't seen any where I kill people, so that's a plus.

Who on this app isn't worried about being change into their "other self"?

Hasn't killed people? What has he done?

I haven't met anyone that's okay with the changes going on.

So far? I've gotten memories of stalking someone, beating up bodyguards, and taking out the eye of a guy using an apple.

An apple? Like... an apple phone? Computer? Or do you mean the actual fruit?

The fruit, yes. Threw it at him and took his eye out.

Wow, he literally took "apple of one's eye" to a whole new level.

That he did. It's kind of scary that he thought it was a joke. Or at least, laughed a little about it.

He laughed after taking someones eye out with an apple? Has he maimed people with other types of food?

Not that I know of, and I guess I could blame some of it on his age. I mean kids can laugh at anything, you know? But still, not exactly inspiring me to think he was a nice person.

How old is the other you? If he's young, that would explain why he used an apple. He probably didn't know of many options. Because, if was an adult, well, I think he could have thought of using other, more exotic fruit.

Sixteen I would guess, but I wouldn't say that he didn't know any other options. He used the apple because he was eating one and had another in his pocket.

Stalking, beating up body guards, using an apple as a weapon... was he some sort of delinquent?

No. I get the feeling there's something more going on with him.

More than a delinquent? Blood hell that's foreboding.

Well. Yes. Then again, I have memories from him as a kid all the way up to around my age, and all he does is get colder.

Bloody hell he sounds like is has a shit load of issues.

That's putting it mildly.

I feel like I should wish you good luck, but I'm not sure if it would help.

It's the thought that counts. Though I'm pretty sure if I start acting like an idiot my PA will put me into a headlock until the fit passes.

PA? Personal assistant? What exactly is your profession?

CEO of the CUBEnix offices USA officially but I call myself a rich jerk hacker on more hannone occassion. I'm a working executive so it's not like I sit around pushing papers.
