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!

[ Jim isn't an elf tho. ]

I can't believe you'd capitalize on my pain and suffering for free drinks!

[ This face looks angry. Or it tries to. Cullen's not an artist. Mostly it looks like part of a face and a squiggle for a mouth. ]

[ Some humans are really shitty. ]

Pain? Really? A little posterior pinching brings you great pain?

[ There's an even bigger heart with an even more smarmy grin. Still the handsome mustache. ]

[ Even Jim??? ]

When it isn't you doing the pinching, yes.

[ Another "angry" face, this time underlined for emphasis. ]

[ Especially Jim. ]

You're so dramatic.

[ There is a small drawing a a hand pinching a butt. Sera would be proud. ]

[ It's always the quiet ones. ]

I prefer some things were kept private for you. My posterior is one of them.

Taking drawing lessons from Sera now?

I must say, I'm rather glad I get to enjoy it myself. Something like that. I don't believe I have her cavalier panache.

I should hope so, because you're the only one who's ever getting to do so.

If that's what you're trying to achieve, it likely needs a few more ~~dicks~~ ~~cocks~~ er, well, dicks.

At least until you find yourself around an abundance of Orlesians again. Very true. I'll do my best to remember it for next time.

No. I refuse to subject myself to that again. I'm still not certain how you forgot.

I have a feeling that so long as you're in the Inquisition, it's not something you can refuse. To be fair, I don't particularly correspond with her all that often.

Those are my options, then? My career or my dignity?

I can't say I blame you. I've read her notes. They make only slightly more sense than Cole's.

Do you not see yourself having a career outside of the Inquisition? I've spent far more time with her. I can't claim she makes any more sense in person. Or, rather, she's making more sense to me now than she did last year. I don't want to think about what that means.

I'm not sure. I can't imagine what I'd do. All I know is being a templar and fighting. I don't suppose you'd have much need for a bodyguard in Tevinter?

I think it means you need a vacation.
