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 have handcuffs, lube, an excess of adrenalin to burn off and the house to myself

you've got twenty minutes to make it over here before i pass you up in favour of my vibrator

( it takes him a really long time before answering, because he's literally just staring at his phone screen. wrong number. it has to be a wrong number, because nobody texts him these things. he gets like...news updates and reminders from aunt may to pick up eggs. )

...Handcuffs?

yessss?

i disclocated my shoulder fighting Freeze last night so i'm not doing shibari

wait

shit

i think i have the wrong number!!! oh my god sorry

i don't even know what that means. what does that even mean?

yeah, you really do. sorry to ruin your uh. interesting night.

don't google it without turning safe search on

not your fault! i think i put an 8 instead of a 7 somewhere and now i'm paying the price. embarrassment is a foolproof mood killer.

i was gonna use bing, but thanks for the head's up i guess. dislocated shoulder? sounds like some fight.

i figure i shouldn't scar you too much in one night

oh. uh. it's not a big deal! it was my crappy shoulder, i can bump it against a wall and it pops out

[Steph is SO GOOD at secret identities]

...did you push it back in?

( it's okay. at least she doesn't leave cameras with her real name lying around. )

that's what you generally do with discloated shoulders, yeah

it's honestly not as bad as it sounds, i'm just gonna be sore for a few days

so where's the other guy?

the guy i was trying to message or the guy who dislocated my shoulder?

the freeze guy. i really don't want to know who you were trying to message, no offense.

jail. that's what you get for trying to rob jewelry stores

none taken, he probably doesn't want to know about you

[Steph srsly, secret identity!!!]

didn't know the police could work that fast. seeing as he's been on the wanted list for ages.

( as in, if steph hadn't thrown his ass in jail, peter would have. )

the gcpd is very effective

[quick pretend you're not a vigilante!

Wait...]

how'd you know he'd been on the wanted list for ages?

I read the news.

( SECRET IDENTITIES, YEAH. except it wasn't on the news. he got it from the homemade police scanner hooked up to his cell phone. )

[there is a slight delay while she runs a program on her computer to check for any/all mentions of Freeze in the media in the last two weeks or so. After nothing comes up]

should've gone with saying you know a cop. it wasn't in the news

wait, what? there was a big story last week. small newspaper.

( W E L P. )

which newspaper?

please imagine i'm giving you a sceptical look, there's no appropriate emoticon thing

you remember every single newspaper you read?

( he's actually wincing as he types that out. because peter parker is a smooth operator. he lies with the best of them.)

nope, but i do know how to search their online archives and there's been nothing about freeze for a few months

...huh.

you're not very good at this, are you?

the wrong recipient meme

1. Sorry, Peter >_>

AWKWARD

clearly this is why dc and marvel shouldn't cross over ; also 1/2

no subject

or perhaps it's proof that they really should ( 1/2 )

no subject

you make a convincing argument, someone get didio and quesada on the line

everybody wants to read about snarky teenaged vigilantes, right?

i do! maybe i'll just send steph to marvel, they might be nicer to her

ugh her run just literally breaks my heart. I want her back in my comics, dammit!

i'm trying to figure out which god i need to sacrifice something to in order to get her back

if you ever find out, I'd like to add my sacrifice to the pile

that is greatly appreciated

anything to support the robins

they need all the support they can get tbh

i don't even care about bruce at this point. batfamily all the way

you are a person after my own heart. bruce can gtfo

worst father ever

well... ollie queen gives him a run for his money

it's like a perverse olympic sport

where no one's a winner :(

and everyone ends up either dead or dysfunctional

or both!

also known as jason todd

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Poor Jason

cry. definitely cry, when it comes to jason

one day things will be less terrible for him (no)

not as long as red hood and the outlaws is still around >:|

i have no idea what you're talking about >_> there isn't a comic by that name

dcnu why do you do this to us
