the betrayal/redemption meme
BETRAYAL MEME
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.

'Don't even pretend to act like you have no idea how wrong that sounds.'
Just go to the living room already and pick a movie. We can eat out there. [She starts putting the food into bowls.]
no subject
All right!
[And, springier than ever, she'll go into the living room.]
I love how this thread went from EPIC to utterly domestic. |D
anything in particular you want to see?
no subject
I suppose you've seen this one?
[She takes the bowl from her, taking a deep breath.]
Smells good~!

[Kyonko shrugs and pops in the DVD.] Thanks, I guess? You said you liked it the last time you were here for dinner.
no subject
[And now she sits down a little too close to Kyonko.]
no subject
It's just leftovers, Itsuko. Don't worry about it.
no subject
Well, I think worried isn't the right word anyway. But all right.

Do you mind? You're way too close.
