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!

[ He could have just said 'rich heir of a company that's more like a criminal group' but really, that's just a mouthful and doesn't actually convey the whole 'also sort of like noble families in some circles' thing either. ]

Well, there are a lot of women in my social standing I could meet and date and maybe fall in love with, but considering how we are usually pawns in making our companies stronger, love doesn't always calculate into the ledger.

Love should always be considered. You make it sound like all they want is for you to help make the next heir.

Run the business, make sure there's heirs to pass it on, make more money, and make the ancestors proud. That's pretty much how it is.

Are you even allowed to date? Since you are over the part of the company in America, does that mean your parents are in South Korea? Couldn't you just... date who you want without them knowing?

Dating? Oh sure. I love dating. I just don't let it get more serious than a few nights here and there unless they're at a level Father can accept.

What in the world? That's just... I'm not even sure how to react anymore.

Not a romantic ideal?

I know.

So, I'm a hopeless romantic. Shoot me.

I never said that it's bad.

It's just something I can't have.

Can't have, or won't allow yourself to fight for?

[ Congratulations Derek just triggered a memory. ]

um... what?

Ah. Dropped my phone.

You're screen ok? That would suck if it cracked.

But back on topic. What are you going to do if you suddenly realize you have fallen hard for a girl that isn't to your father's standards. Mate, sometimes love just happens.

I know how to replace it if it does break, so it's okay.

I doubt it would happen.

You do realize you have just jinxed yourself, and it is totally going to happen now mate? Just wait. You are going to meet some girl and you are going to fall HARD!

...............stop that

Stop what? Being real and honest? Someone's has to do if for you mate if you won't do it for yourself.
