Wrong Number

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!

Will who notice what?

[underthings]

Oh, honestly! It hasn't been that long since we've done it. You've forgotten already? The desk was probably a better choice than the bed. Should we go back?

[officer]

Done what? What in the Maker's name are you talking about?

[underthings]

Are you feeling ill? Playing some sort of trick, perhaps? Though, I can't imagine what sort of entertainment you'd be getting from this.

Do you think Cullen will realize it's from me?

[officer]

Considering you've just told me it was you, I suspect I will know. Once I've figured out what you've done. Something to my desk, I presume?

I need to start locking my office when I leave.

[underthings]

Fasta vass. I didn't realize... Though that's all too obvious now. Nothing was done to your desk, or bed for that matter. I left you something.

[officer]

You did? I didn't find anything. I'm sorry. Did I spoil a surprise?

[underthings]

I rather believe I've spoiled it, not you. It's on the bed. The Inquisitor suggested the desk as you'd likely see it right away. I didn't want it being confused for an outgoing parcel, so I left it where only you would find it.

[officer]

I wasn't expecting to hear from you yet, so I'd say the surprise is still a success. I'm down in the courtyard overseeing some drills, but I'll head up as soon as Rylen comes to take over.

How are you?

[underthings]

There's little reason to rush. Unless there are sticky fingers belonging to nosy interlopers, it will keep until later.

And I'm dreadfully bored and just barely keeping my sanity. I fear I don't know how much longer I will fare.

[officer]

There very well might be. These days, one can never be too careful.

Perhaps I can entertain you a little while? Or arrange for Rylen to take over a bit longer, if you think you'll be gone a long time and might like more immediate entertainment.

[underthings]

Then they'll have to answer to me as well as the Inquisitor. I don't think anyone wants to chance that.

Oh? Do tell what you had in mind, amatus. I may delay purposely.

[officer]

I can think of a few individuals who might benefit from a well placed fireball. Perhaps you could help me run a few training exercises when you return?

If you're going to purposefully delay your return, I'm going to do my level best to be utterly dull.

[underthings]

If you'd like; I don't see any reason why I can't.

You're terrible, truly. Horrible and always dull. How I put up with you, I'll never know.

[officer]

Thank you. The recruits may not appreciate it, but I do. And I expect it will be quite fun. For us, anyway.

I wonder the same thing. I've yet to figure out the source of your wellspring of patience.

[underthings]

That's quite all right. I'm used to not being appreciated.

It's a gift. Just one of my many fine qualities.

[officer]

About that. The Inquisitor tells me you haven't been nearly as talkative on your latest trip as usual. He's rather distraught about it. The way he tells it, the sound of your voice is all that gets him through the arduous tasks he takes upon himself.

I've yet to discover a quality of yours that isn't fine.

[underthings]

Oh? How strange. He refused to share a tent with me on the last trip and switched with Cole. Which, yes, that means he chose to sleep with Blackwall over me.

What flattery! A pity I'm not there to appreciate it in person.

[officer]

Perhaps I glared at him too sternly when you departed Skyhold.

It's the truth. Flattery from me would undoubtedly sound ridiculous.

[underthings]

Somehow I don't think that puts the fear in him that you think it might.

The truth can still be flattering, so it doesn't sound ridiculous at all.

[officer]

Is that so? Well, he might not be moved by the looks I give him but I'll not hesitate to pen a letter to Alistair if he starts getting too familiar.

Now I suspect you're laughing at me.

[underthings]

He's never been "too familiar" in all this time, it's not going to suddenly just start. Apparently his tastes seem to run along the same southern track my own takes. Not that I can blame him.

I am now, yes, if you think Arven has even the slightest interest in me.

[officer]

I'm surprised more people don't have significantly more than a "slight" interest in you. I'm not wholly convinced they don't.

And I am prepared to face them should they have the courage to attempt to displace me.

[underthings]

I'm from Tevinter and a very powerful mage, I rather think the entirety of the south hates me on those very principles.

I can't quite decide if I take offense that you think me unable to handle the pursuits of some guileless paramour or that I would allow someone else to take your place.

[officer]

Times are changing, Dorian. And the entirety of the south does not, in fact, hate you. Some of it is quite fond of you.

Fear has little bearing on reality. I've not had anything worth losing in, well, perhaps ever. If it makes me unnecessarily wary, I apologize.
