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!

[ HONESTLY. That's a very fair way to have gone about it, now that she thinks about it. ]

It just kind of disappeared before I could say anything... But I feel like that may not be what it wanted to hear.

It doesn't matter what it WANTS to hear, what matters is what it NEEDS to hear. And what it NEEDS to hear is that EATING PEOPLE IS WRONG!

If it comes back, I'll be sure to tell it! I did tell it to stop trying to scare my friends...I think that's what made it sad to begin with.

It was sad because it couldn't scare your friends?

Actually, it looked really sad after a friend said that it was upsetting me. And that I was afraid of it.

Was it really that surprised? It tried eating you? That is one strange ghost.

Yes, it was. I can't really say it makes much sense, though...I wish I knew more!

Maybe you'll get a memory that will explain why the ghost was following you?

I hope so, but at the same time it makes me a little nervous, you know?

True, not all the memories we get from Retrospec are pleasant. Good luck with that.
