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!

And what's your excuse the rest of the time?

[manofiron]

I don't need an excuse, because for the record, I haven't leched on Natasha in YEARS.

[staysangry]

Because you know she could kick your ass in under ten seconds?

[manofiron]

Contrary to popular belief, there are more attractive people in the world than Natasha.

[staysangry]

You're right.

As far as I can tell the fact that she's a trained assassin would just interest you more.

[manofiron]

How does you wanting to suck dick turn into me having a thing for Natasha? Which, by the way, I don't. Have a thing for her. Since I need to clear that up.

[staysangry]

That wasn't me, it was this stupid phone.

[manofiron]

Are you sure? You're not just using the phone as an excuse to play coy here? Because I'm not judging.

[staysangry]

Tony, if I was really that interesting in sucking you off, why would I still be texting you from the other side of the building when I could be in the lab right now?

[manofiron]

Because you're a masochist?

[staysangry]

Interesting guess, but no.

[manofiron]

You're a sadist and you like tormenting me with empty promises?

[staysangry]

Now that you bring it up, that is rather entertaining.

[manofiron]

Rude. You are rude, Dr. Banner.

[staysangry]

And yet you still keep me around.

[manofiron]

Yeah, well, I am a masochist.

[staysangry]

I actually wouldn't mind going to get a drink. If you're done down there.

And that still isn't a come on.

[manofiron]

For you and a drink? Sure. I'm done.

Yeah, yeah. Keep dreaming. I hear you.

[He lets himself into Tony's workshop about 30 seconds later. What, he was on his way down...]

[manofiron]

[ There's an array of holographic screens still scattered across the workshop and a handful of spare parts in Tony's hands when Bruce walks in. The parts get dropped to the table with a careless disregard for whether or not the fall will damage them and the screens flick off with a snap of his fingers. ]

Okay, I'm ready. See, I said I was ready. Are we going out or staying in?

[staysangry]

Out, if you don't mind. I've been feeling a little cabin fever.

[manofiron]

Out it is. Low key or something lively?

[ Coming out from behind the desk, Tony heads over to meet him. ]

Am I looking at a complete change of wardrobe or just a new shirt?

[staysangry]

You're asking me? [He looks down at his own usual combination of rumpled button-down and slightly ill-fitting trousers.]

Somewhere I don't have to change for either.

[manofiron]

[ In the interest of Not Being A Lech, Tony is going to manfully refrain from making comments as to the state of Bruce's appearance. ]

I know just the place.

[ He is, however, going to casually sling his arm around his shoulder in the most non-lechy of ways and steer him toward the door. ]

C'mon. We can walk. It's not far.

[staysangry]

[You are lucky Bruce is fairly clueless about when he's getting hit on. And he's used to Tony having limited personal space.]

Alright. Thanks, Tony.
