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'm not saying you don't. I just... nevermind.

I tried to give him advice. I don't know how useful it was but, I did try.

I feel as if asking will just lead to trouble.

Well, if you're both happy, then it worked out. If he inquires again, I can always send him to Dorian.

NO!

Sorry. That was a little too hasty. No. Thank you, but no.

I understand. I could always ask him in Alistair's place and pass the news along. If, ah, there's anything you'd be interested in.

[ It's a good thing this is via sexting crystal and not paper because it'd be burned from his minor explosion. Cullen might actually see it if he looks out his door toward the tower where his room is. ]

Creators how did this happen?

[ It's not a typical day in Skyhold if something isn't on fire. ]

I'm not sure. I suspect it had something to do with whatever transpired between the two of you in Crestwood.

[ A testament to workmanship, really, that it's still standing after this one. ]

That isn't as far back as I intended. Nothing did; we barely spoke.
