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!

We need to talk. I mean it. No more brushing me off. You've been avoiding me for weeks. If I hear one more "Not right now, I'm busy saving the earth", you're going to find yourself trying to save the earth from ME.

[noassgardian]

Um, I'm sorry?

[But he doesn't really... recognize that number at all.]

I think you got the wrong number though.

[kneewindows]

Knock it off, Kal. I'm tired of your excuses.

[Because she's not the sort of girl who checks to make sure she's texting the right person.]

[noassgardian]

No, seriously. It's Billy.

[kneewindows]

Oops. Sorry Billy! Someone decided to "be helpful" and changed all of my contacts.

[noassgardian]

It's okay. Trust me, it's happened to me before.

[When you had a brother like Tommy especially...]

So, what's going on? Want to talk about it?

[kneewindows]

Somehow this doesn't surprise me.

[That's basically who she figured was behind it.]

My cousin's avoiding me again for some reason. I know he's busy, but this is getting ridiculous. Sometimes I hate superheroes.


No offense.

[noassgardian]

None take.

[Sort of...]

Did something happen between you two to make him do that?

Hope the taxi's clean and ready to go, mate, the bleeding map's showing trouble again and Zed's drawing a particularly nasty bastard.

[noassgardian]

[???]

I'm going to be honest here and say I have no idea what you're talking about.

1/2

[newcastlejob]

This isn't the time for joking, Chas, pretty sure this is another demon.

2/2

[newcastlejob]

And you're not Chas, are you? For one, Chas doesn't have a sense of humour. Don't suppose you'd just forget what I just said, would you?

[noassgardian]

Maybe if you hadn't said demon. Now I have to know.

[newcastlejob]

It's a metaphorical thing. See, I said demon, I meant something else.

[noassgardian]

Right. What did you mean then?

[newcastlejob]

Can't just let it go, can you? Look, some of this will depend on how much you believe in magic.

[noassgardian]

Um, you could say I really believe in it.

[newcastlejob]

Oh hell, you're not one of these new age types are you? Bloody cutesy fairies and guardian angels? Crystals everywhere? Because seriously, if you've ever met an actual fairy they're vicious little buggers. And trying to get guidance out of an angel is probably slightly harder than getting blood from a stone.

[noassgardian]

Um, no? Not exactly that type. And not the type who does card tricks either. It's just a natural ability you could say, I guess...

[newcastlejob]

Right. And what do you want to do with your "natural ability"? Because if it's love spells and glamours, I don't do those either. Well, not often.

[noassgardian]

What? No. Love spells would be pretty gross.

Location spells, some teleportation... stuff like that.

[Not mentioning the reality warping stuff to the guy who just contacted him out of the blue.]
