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!

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.

[underthings]

No, perhaps not the entirety, but enough. Though, in all fairness, I never set out to change the collective opinion of the south. That I did any was a surprise.

Nothing to apologize for. At least, not yet. Worry all you'd like, I'll only interfere if you become overbearing or think me unable. Otherwise, I take no true issue.

[officer]

We've few examples of Tevinter mages to draw upon when forming our opinions. Did you truly believe that, after meeting you, we could continue to hold to our worst assumptions?

I cannot imagine you unable to do anything.

[underthings]

You did hear the rumors about me while in Haven and after arriving in Skyhold, yes? Even you gave no warm reception when I arrived. So, yes, I can truly believe that after meeting me—magnificent as I am—assumptions won't change.

That's more like it. Eager to be in my good graces upon my return?

[officer]

I meant meeting you in the sense of getting to know you. It took more than a handsome face for me to set aside my suspicions, it's true, but what it required was spending time with you. It's who you are that changes minds, not, I'm sorry to say, how you look.

I'm just being honest.

[underthings]

Well, then I can pose the question who's taken the time to get to know me. I won't, but I could. And I take offense to that, it's at least a little how I look!

[officer]

Perhaps it's time to change that.

As stunning as you are, my darling, who you are is infinitely more appealing than how you look.

[underthings]

Unnecessary at this point. Those who get to know me from this point forward won't like me for what I'm doing, at least.

The things you say. I hope you're planning to clear your schedule later.

[officer]

You are doing good work. Never doubt that.

They are things that should have been said to you so many times you tire of hearing them. When you return, my time is yours. The blasted world can implode for all I care.

[underthings]

I tend not to doubt myself. I didn't get to be where I am today if I let that slow me down.

Well, let's hope it doesn't, yes? I'd rather take my time with you tonight and would care to not be interrupted.

[officer]

I should hope not. You would do so without cause if you did.

Shall I write up a sign to post on the door, telling passersby that I'm not to be disturbed for any reason? It might be more effective than simply locking the doors.

[underthings]

Perhaps so. I'll enchant the doors as well.

[officer]

That sounds like an excellent idea.

[underthings]

I do wish it was later.

[officer]

This from the man responsible for time magic.

[underthings]

It was just a theory. I still don't have that sort of power.
