I just realized that Aries must have one of those evil Texas accents, Viper to.
Zero-kun lives in New Hampshire, so he must reverse the "er" and "ah" sounds. i.e. "I erm fum New Hampsha".
Lita must have one of those souther-heartland accents. (where does Lita live? Misouri or Mississipi?)
Gojira and Crazy should have that Criole or New Orleans accent.
God knows where Zorak comes from.
And I don't have an accent! ;D Well, according to my friend's dad we have some sort of "up-state New York sound to us."

I have the Jersey accent, where "water" is "wadder", "did you eat yet" is "jew eat yet" and "internet" is pronounced "innernet" along with other little stuff. And here is the 69 ways you can tell you're from Jersey! And to better understand your everyday Libra, the following apply directly to me. Skip these if you want to go straight to the shit talkin of Jersey. Zechs and Zeonic Gemini (char) are also from around me... pity me and them. - 60) I'm 30 min. away from it. 55) that IS my area code 54) Not just driving! 49) every two weeks! Mandatory isn't enough! 46) 7A 43) South Jersey, like I was saying. 41) I was born during hurricane Gloria. 33) Still workin on that one. 30) It's the pollen from the pine trees. 25) it gets old after a while- I'm 7A. 23) My best friend has connections. 14) we are just special like that. 11) Ready to fight for someone hitting my girlfriend in front of me as a joke. 8) It IS the shore! 7) We got lots, but school doesn't cancel unless it's bad. It isn't worth it unless it's 5 inches. 6) Who said we had to be on the road? 5) I'm from south Jersey. 4) I live 5 minutes away from one. 1.25) They do? Not around me. I'd kick some ass. 1) My grandpa (who is HUNGARIAN- not middle eastern) owns a gas station- I've pumped my own gas.

LMAO at Libra once again.
Cyg, Zero has told and even asked you time and again to stop that. It counts as harassment and will result in punishment if continued.

Y'all know she won't.
Then again, what Aries does counts as harassment!

Well, y'all, I come from Round Rock, which is just a few minutes south of Austin, Texas. That means, I have a teeny weeny accent. I try and fight it as much as I can, but when I'm lazy, my southern drawl comes out. I hate it. It reminds me of the endless fields of hicks I have going to my school......
Death to them all.....

Creole accent, are you kidding? Yes, we do have somewhat of an accent, but we aren't that bad.

I have an accent. A faint southern drawl that I really like. Gives my voice character, and a sort of openness that makes it easy for me to make friends ^_^

I'm from CO too, so i suppose i don't really have one, though i sometimes pick up the accents of people i'm around a lot...
And Aries, Zero really hates it when she does that and has repeatedly, seriosuly told her to stop. If someone was really irritated at you continually doing something to them, then yes, it would be harassment, but to this point, it isn't.
