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!

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.

[officer]

A theory you experienced firsthand. You and the Inquisitor.

[underthings]

Due to Corypheus. Not exactly how I wanted to see my own theories presented, honestly.

[officer]

Traveling through time was due to Corypheus or the fact that it took this long for you to see your theory come to life? Give yourself more credit than this, Dorian.

[underthings]

I would think you to know I always give myself proper credit. The theory Alexius and I developed requires more magic than a single mage can do. Corypheus was the one who gave Alexius that to power the amulet.

[officer]

He may have become a darkspawn, but Corypheus was first a mage of Tevinter. A man, not a would-be god. To me, that suggests that such limitations are not absolute.

[underthings]

And he had whatever that orb was. Which I suspect we'll never know since it's broken and mysteriously gone as Solas is. I've no doubt it could be a reality again one day, though I'm under the impression it possibly shouldn't be.

[officer]

No, likely not. Most people would do more harm than good with that sort of power. But the fact remains that I'll not hear you speak of yourself as though you are somehow inadequate in comparison to others. You're a brilliant, remarkable man with power I've not seen in other mages. I cannot believe there is anything you would be unable to accomplish if you put your mind to achieving it.

[underthings]

Yes, and part of being all those amazing things is knowing my limitations and capabilities. I've no doubt I'll have a hand in creating many new forms of magic, but my area of study and interest has shifted elsewhere.

[ If there was any question about Cullen getting lucky tonight... there isn't now. This is one way to getting spoiled tbh ]

[officer]

And in those areas, I've no doubt you will become the authority for future generations to heed. That is my point and I'll accept no argument to the contrary.

[ The sky is blue. Water is wet. Dorian is great and wonderful and can do anything he sets his mind to. Cullen is just repeating facts here. ]

[underthings]

[ It's really unfair that even apart like this Cullen can still make him blush. That's so rude. There's so much he wants to say to that, but none of it seems like anything he'd actually say. ]

I wouldn't have your armor on by the time I return if I were you.

[officer]

[ What isn't fair is that Cullen isn't there to see it. ]

You do intend to tell me when you're about to arrive, yes? Otherwise it might be problematic, parading around Skyhold in my altogether.

[underthings]

[ He doesn't need to! ]

I'm still several hours away. You've still time to do your little drills, eat and clean yourself up before I get there.

[officer]

[ Yes he does. ]

Next time you leave, I should like to go with you. Several hours is a long time to wait after how much I've already spent without you.

[underthings]

[ No he doesn't!! ]

I suppose I can't argue with that. Have you left the training to Rylen yet?

[officer]

[ He surely does! ]

I'm glad for that. In truth, I wasn't really asking. Yes.

[underthings]

[ He needs to mind his own business. ]

Southerners. No manners at all.

Good! Go open the parcel left for you.

[ Surprise. Tevinter garb to wear, you know the one. There's even a ring. You also know the one. ]

[officer]

[ Dorian is his business. ]

I've plenty of manners, as you well know.

[ And in demonstration of that, he does as bid and waits until after to compose and send this message. ]

I like it. [ A lot. Although he's half afraid to touch it for fear he'll rip it. ] Are we going somewhere special tonight?

[underthings]

[ His bodily functions aren't!! ]

No. I'm afraid I'll have a slight irritation if anyone comes between us this evening. That isn't for Skyhold and I want to see how it fits.

[officer]

[ So rude. ]

I'll tell the Inquisitor that we're not to be disturbed. Where is it for?
