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!

Guess you'll have to be on the lookout for those showing up on the app then. Never know what might happen.

In the mean time I will just have to settle for the places I go to already. Don't you have some grumpy friends around your age who have the desire to start a business? Why don't you pass my ideas on to them?

Nice of ya to think I have friends.

Well, you mentioned you have a boyfriend. Friends tend to precede having a significant other. So, yeah I think you have friends.

Met him through work. He's a social worker and sometimes helps kids get their first job at my shop. Got closer to him after I got the app.

So nope. Not a friend type.

That's a pity. Your interesting to talk to if I do say so myself.

That a fact or you wanting more sales?

My word Iwai, it's obviously a fact. Do I really need to soften you up anymore to get discounts out of you? I don't blatantly throw out compliments Iwai, I thought you knew me better than that.

It's a joke, Derek. I know you ain't about all that.

Sometimes I wish texting had an indication when someone is being sarcastic or joking.

Probably with those faces and crap that I don't know how to use.
