stabbed in the back
You have done something unspeakable to the people closest to you. How did this come to be, and how will you make amends?
Instructions
Post with your character with their name, series, and whether you're the betrayer, the betrayed, or simply leave it blank! Then, either make up your own scenario to your liking, or use our prompts (RNG totally optional) and go wild!
(Example: for organization's sake, denote b3+2 where you killed someone and are trying to hide it or r5+3 for a situation where you side-hopped and now want nothing more than to make things right, so that people know at a glance whether you're betraying or being redeemed and what you did.)
betrayal; you've turned your back on everything you once stood for
1) you're innocent. it's not your fault, but they can never know. maybe you're protecting someone. maybe you're being blackmailed. whatever the case, it's your dark secret.
2) you're hiding. you've done something terrible, but no one knows it yet. how far will you go to bury what you've done for good?
3) you're uncertain. everything is in place now, but nothing's been set into motion yet. maybe it's not too late to turn back. or is it?
4) you're slipping. you thought you could change. maybe for a while you even managed to. but now you find yourself falling back to your old ways, and everyone around you is at risk.
5) you're reacting. they betrayed you first. you're not in the wrong. they deserve this. they brought this upon themselves. you're not really betraying anyone if they pushed first.
redemption; you've done something that can never be forgiven
1) you're trapped. they caught you red-handed, or maybe you turned yourself in. now those you betrayed are free to face you one by one and have their revenge.
2) you're false. this whole betrayal thing isn't working out quite the way you'd hoped. maybe if you play your cards just right, you'll be able to get your old life back.
3) you're selfless. whatever forced your hand to begin with doesn't matter anymore. you'll destroy yourself and play the role of a villain to the very end if that is what it takes to make things right.
4) you're lost. what you did was wrong, and you know that now. you can never be sorry enough, and you've lost your way. all you want to do is find home. won't anyone out there show you the way?
5) you're tortured. you have to make amends for what you've done. you have to. the thought consumes you, possesses you. you have to find them, help them. but after what you've done, will they even want to see you again?
what you've done;
1) you sold them out
2) you killed
3) you joined the other side
4) you stole
5) you lied
6) you simply are. you were never 'good' to begin with.

I am pretty interested in exploring some kind of canon divergence where Hargon does win out and bring him to the Dark Side for good, or maybe some post-canon scenario where he got him to do some even worse things that Malroth has to repent for now, or maybe he's still at a point where it's getting harder to ignore the destructive urges, or something. Or maybe he's the one who has been betrayed, if you're really into kicking puppies. Suffer with me. ]

! her!!
H... hullo! Good to see you, here, looking good, looking healthy--not, not healthy like the way She said it, where there was some sort of roundabout way She was trying to make you feel bad for not being dead--just, clarifying, in case there was any room for, for doubt. Which, probably is a fair bit of room for that, regarding the last set of circumstances we met under, don't know if you recall--Oh! Do you recall? Should check that up front, any chance you forgot about that? Would make this loads easier if you'd gone and forgotten the whole thing, actually, that'd be tremendous.
she! and he!
After a long moment of silent frowning, she shakes her head. Then she unfolds her arms to tap one finger on her temple and give a sardonic thumbs up. No brain damage.
(Of course she remembers. Okay, some of the things he yelled in those last few minutes went past her -- there were a lot of explosions and cores contributing commentary and her worry about GLaDOS all competing for her attention -- but she remembers. ]

[ Wheatley's handles droop, and he twitches as a few sparks fly. In the handful of seconds since he'd had the idea, he'd gotten very excited about the notion of her memory failing and getting to pretend nothing happened. Right, back to plan B. ]
Yeah. Suppose it was somewhat memorable. Me all massive, and you--less so. It was impressive though, wasn't it, you've got to admit! ...Not the time, is it, nope, felt it soon as I said it.
Circling back to, to the main point that I was getting at earlier, re-asserting, am pleased you're all right, which I know could be taken as a wee bit contradictory considering how last time 'round I was pretty, pretty emphatically trying to make sure you weren't. And--well, you, you were doing a lot of things to me at the time as well, let's not forget, both of us did and said some hurtful things--well, you didn't say any hurtful things, not your M.O., so more points against me, but She said plenty of mean things for you, tag-team effort, two on one, so balanced out again let's just call that even and write it off.
What I'm trying to--what I'm getting at, is, that, back then, I didn't really--it's not like, like I meant it, right? Just, both of us got a bit worked up, things happened, and... you know, it was the heat of the moment... which I did plan for, planned heat of the moment... s-still, fighting for our lives, the two of us, can't stay mad for trying my hardest--and, and just as a reminder, you did win, in the end, went and let me go drifting in the void, which was pretty terrible, would be within my right to be cross over that, not that I'm saying I am just, you know, perspective, being lenient on my end, in case that gives you any ideas on how you might be feeling, about me, currently.
help I love this
Bringing up GLaDOS strikes her as unfair, though. Chell waves a hand for him to stop and tries to point out, in sign: ]
She's mean to everyone! I couldn't stop her from insulting people if I wanted to.
[ That's her scary mean computer girlfrenemy! ]
they're so good
Oi oi oi, no need to get all flappy at me, like I said, both made mistakes, didn't we, you teaming up with our mutual sworn enemy, me getting a wee bit bossy and smashy and, and a smidge murdery, for a tick, and also doing the, the testing on you again, after you were supposed to be out, but instead--well, and there was the elevator, I guess, that too, didn't mean to get you involved in that going down I was mostly focused on Her and you just happened to be there, sort of a collateral, not, not intended, but you know how it is with Her, murdered Her yourself once, so you can, can understand why I...
[ He trails off for a second. ]
S-so. Yeah. Both of us did... things. To one another. Unkind-type things. So we should just, you know... let bygones be what they are. Right?
no subject
You didn't mean to--?
[ Ahhhh for fuck's sake, he doesn't know any of this. Frowning, she pantomimes a little vertical tube in the air with her left hand -- points at it with her right -- point at him with her right -- pantomimes punching the shit out of the tube with her right. She points at herself, thentraces the fall of a teeny imaginary person with one finger and whistles a downward note, ending with a pchew impact noise.
A beat.
She points at the imaginary person at the bottom of the elevator shaft, points at Wheatley, and draws a tear down her cheek. You were sad about that, bro? ]
no subject
--well maybe it was like that, okay?! Don't need you reminding me of what I was already there for, you know, perfectly capable recalling how the whole mess went down, but I said I didn't mean it, all right, and what is it that you want me to do now about it anyway?! Want me to bleedin' grovel for you, is that it?! You hopin' I'll moan on about how sorry I am?! Would that make you feel better, hearing that I spent half a bloody age floating out 'round the bleeding moon thinking how I was terrible and mean and bossy after you stranded me?!
[ He sparks, twitches. Pauses. ]
Oh. Oh hell, wait, that was it wasn't it, that was Plan A, sayin' all that! Err--ahhhh god, this is embarrassing, can you just--just, er, imagine all that, but, not, not all angry-like? I was going--it was supposed to be more, more contrite, in the original plan, really, really apologetic, and sad, and, er, very, very sorry.
