The Wrong Recipient Meme

Oops. It happens to all of us. In a hurry, kind of drunk, too tired – for whatever reason, you've sent a text to the wrong recipient and it's up to you to do damage control.

¤ Post with your character. Name, canon and any preferences in the subject line.
¤ Others choose one of the options below and reply to your character with a text message that wasn't intended for them.
¤ Communication or miscommunication ensues?
¤ Profit!

1. talk dirty | "baby, you were such a stud yesterday"
Texting is a great way to make your partner spend the rest of their meeting thinking about exactly how steamy action was last night... Unless you sent it to the wrong number, of course. How to explain that one?

2. those dates | "Don't forget lunch at 2! :-)"
Easiest way to arrange meetings, confirming them or just saying thanks for a good time is by cell. Even easier? To screw it up when the invitation reaches the wrong person... Or perhaps your mishap lands you an entirely new date!

3. anger management | "OMFG, you really are an asshole!"
They’ve pissed you off royally, so someone deserves a piece of your mind. Poor recipient, having to put up with a dressing-down of that magnitude. Especially if it wasn't actually intended for them.

4. my condolences | "Jane, I'm so sorry about your aunt."
Someone lost a relative, got broken up with or didn't get the grades they'd hoped for, so you quickly text them your heartfelt sympathy. Let's just hope that the recipient actually has lost their aunt...

5. well done | "I heard about it from my mom. You go, girl!"
They aced their exams, just got published or they had a baby. Something definitely deserving of your congratulations. Hopefully the one receiving it will appreciate the recognition of something they probably didn't do.

6. auto correct | "Dad says we're having pussy tonight."
A completely ordinary message. The concert was amazing, you're running late... Autocorrect just happened to change one little word into something completely different. Something that’s even more difficult to decipher for the wrong recipient.

7. wildcard | "ok"
Want another scenario, something combined or something completely different? Knock yourself out!

This time, perhaps. I only hope that there won't be a next time.

You've got nothing to worry about. That's the last I'll pull something like that.

Besides it'd only be a matter of time before the enemies caught on if we repeated the same tactic over and over.

I certainly hope so, for all our sakes.

And I'd be very surprised if at least some of them didn't.

[Yeah he sees what you're getting at AkaRed. He's just going to ignore that.]

Regardless, wherever I go next Narutaki's sure to follow close behind.

Narutaki? Who is that?

A passerby just like myself.

Is there anything about him that I should be aware of?

Not really. His interest is with Riders, not Sentai.

[And that 'DAMN YOU DECADE' is practically his way of saying hello.]

Is that why he follows after you, then?

Not really.

His motivations are more to stop me more than anything. He's an ally to Riders, but not Decade.

Is this about those rumors about you from a few years back? [He thought he remembered something along those lines from ShinkenRed's bio in his address book.]

That I'm the destroyer?

It's all true.

[There's definitely a few moments' pause before the next text is sent.]

Are you truly? Because what I've been hearing is the exact opposite.

Depends on who you ask I suppose.

Still doesn't take away from what I did in the past.

But not what you intend to do in the future?

I'm not who I once was.

[He wasn't directly answering AkaRed's question, but whatever. He'll let him interpret that however he wanted to.]

That much is true. Hardly anyone is the same person that they were before.

[He's not exactly dropping the question - merely suspending it until the right moment comes for it again.]

A person has an infinite potential to change, and grow. Or so I've heard some place before.

[He's seen it for himself even, but he's not about to get sappy to an almost complete stranger.]
