“Would you rather go to an afterlife or an empty void when you die? Frankly, I don’t care if the Creator's real, I just need some hope.”

–Meeny

Meeny is a Raposa created by GuyThatExists that appears in the short stories The Lavasteam Chronicles Part One and The Lavasteam Chronicles Part Three as a major character, appears in Salem Rose Pt. 1 as a secondary character, and Pt. 2 as a minor character. He also appears in The 35 as a character in 1 out of 105 segments. He also appears in the one-shot The Desolate City as a minor character.

He is one of Miney and Moe's exiled siblings, and he is the second youngest brother in the Hallor family. He was exiled from Lavasteam before the events of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter along with his brother, Eeny, and the two of them were taken to Watersong. After some time, Meeny fell in love with Rose and stayed in Watersong with her, Butler, and Miles. The two of them would get married, cursing Meeny with the same, soul-attached illness that Rose had. He would also be a victim to Allight's campaign, being one of the few people to be taken by Allight as her unwilling host. While under her control, he found out how to harness the power of light using the Ruby Earring, and when he was freed from Allight's control, he continued to use the earring and light to help fight her.

Much later, Meeny would later become Miles' Butler and assist him during his time as Mayor. Meeny would eventually die due to complications with his illness, leaving Miles to rule alone. He would then move to The Wasteland, where he would watch Miles, now as Salem Rose, destroy the housing project and steal the Village Orbs.

Appearance

Meeny is a tall Raposa with brown fur. He has scars on his legs and arms due to his work in the mines. He has a long, unkempt beard. He also has an orange, long-sleeve polo, grey overalls, brown shoes, and has tightly wrapped bandages around his arms.

Story

The Lavasteam Chronicles Part One

Meeny is first seen talking to his brothers, Miney and Eeny about Miney's new advisor, Salem. Eeny and Meeny are suspicious of Salem, angering Miney and ultimately having the two of them exiled. He sends Robosa to take them to the edge of town, and Moe spots them along the way. They get thrown off of the mainland and land in the ocean below, saving themselves on a rock. The two begin to sleep, when Eeny notices that the tide is coming in. The two brothers realize that unless a miracle happens, they won't survive the night and say their goodbyes. Suddenly, they notice a ship coming towards them, captained by Galileo.

Galileo saves the brothers and welcomes them onboard the Bane of Kings, telling them tales of the color draining in Rapoville and Wilfre kidnapping villagers. The three decide to go to Watersong and speak with Rose. When they arrive at the village, Galileo explores the village while Eeny and Meeny go to Rose's Mansion. Eeny and Meeny explain their situation to Rose and Butler, and Butler tells Eeny that Salem is one of Wilfre's alter egos.

As Meeny talks to Rose, Eeny and Galileo return to the mansion, and Miles asks Galileo about the Giant Scribble Monster which causes Galileo to enter a PTSD episode. Meeny tries to calm him down by grabbing his back, but this causes Galileo to get even more upset. Eeny pulls Galileo out of the mansion and Meeny asks Miles to talk about his adventure. Eventually, Butler calls Meeny and Rose to a balcony to watch Eeny and Galileo fight Leopold and Francois. Meeny joins the fight and calms Galileo down, allowing Eeny and Meeny to bring Galileo back to the Bane of Kings.

As Galileo prepares to leave, Eeny and Meeny decide to stay in Watersong and wish him luck finding his family. They watch him sail off and let Butler direct them to their room. As they take in their surroundings, Miles comes into their room and tells them that they're going on a tour. Miles directs Eeny and Meeny to Jivin' Rooftops, and the three of them travel through the level. Eventually, Meeny takes a break, allowing Eeny to inspect a Raposa Statue. Suddenly, it comes to life and drags Eeny through the level, forcing Miles and Meeny to run after them.

Eventually, Meeny and Miles catch up to Eeny and the Raposa Statues, so Meeny and Eeny team up to defeat them; Eeny steals one of the Raposa Statue's spears in the process. As they fight, Miles gets into the Altar and helps the brothers cross the gap. They three make their way through the level and return to the Mansion. Miles leaves the two alone in their room, and Eeny reveals that he wants to leave the village and go on adventures. Meeny gets mad, and the two begin to fight. Rose overhears and tries to help the two settle the argument, but fails. Eventually, she uses her power of song to put Eeny to sleep, and sits next to Meeny on the bed, telling him that there's a spare bed in her room, kissing him in the process.

The Desolate City

Meeny wakes Eeny up a few days after Rose put him to sleep, and tells him to go outside to the Watersong docks. Eeny runs out of the building and gawks at his ship, thanking Meeny and Rose for the gift. Meeny tells him to go on a maiden voyage to Galileo's hometown, which Meeny incorrectly marked as Rapocity on the map.

The Lavasteam Chronicles Part Three

A year later, Meeny would be enthralled by Allight during her campaign in Watersong. However, he was able to free himself from her influence by using Color, a tactic he employs to save Eeny when the Baki Beard's Revenge docks on Watersong's port. However, after saving his brother and trying to blend in with the thralls, he trips and accidentally spills color on the Hero, restoring their form. This alerts Allight to him not being enthralled, so she sheds Fext from her form and possesses Meeny against his will.

As Allight's host, she gives him the Ruby Earring, and uses him to manage Ex-Isle and ambush the party on Turtle Rock, including Mari, Jowee, Eeny, and the Hero. However, during a fight that ensues between the group and the thralls, Allight sneaks into Creation Hall and threatens Banny. Eeny throws some Mannequite shards that were imbued with color, scaring Allight out of Meeny's body and stabbing Meeny in the aftermath.

Back on Ex-Isle, Meeny is healed by Peppy Lot, and after helping some other thralls, Meeny teleports his group to Lavasteam, where he formulates a plan to use his light powers and Silas's electricity to fight Allight. During the fight, their plan works for the most part, although they are ultimately not the ones to defeat her. After her defeat, Meeny and Rose decide to pardon the exiles who helped fight Allight, and that weekend, Meeny is the best man at Eeny and Puck's wedding.

The 35

2019

Eventually, Meeny marries Rose and becomes Miles' step-father, magically binding the two together. This act causes Rose's disease to spread to Meeny, kickstarting his death. In 2019, Meeny and his siblings are called together by Miney and Lydia, who wanted to get everyone together to celebrate Raporia surviving Aldark and Allight. They all agree, and Eeny and Meeny decide to stay for dinner before returning home.

Salem Rose Pt. 1

When Rose dies, Butler steps down from the role of advisor, and Miles chooses Meeny to replace him.

In 2042, Mari holds a meeting of the Creator's Alliance, where they discuss Wilfre still being alive. Annoyed that Mari was withholding information from them, Miles and Meeny discuss pulling out of the alliance, something they do when Mari blames the Creator for harboring Wilfre. They are joined by Russet and Metis, and the three mayors leave the meeting. On the way home, Meeny asks about the World Gates, causing Miles to go on a tangent about their history.

Six months later, Meeny calls Miles into his room and asks Miles to start a family. Miles catches wind onto what's going on and begins to cry for his father. Meeny holds onto Miles' hand as he passes away and disappears, giving Miles a push in the direction of fighting Wilfre.

Salem Rose Pt. 2

After Salem Rose comes to The Wasteland and destroys the Stellar Showdown Housing Project, Meeny appears to Milfre, Steven, Mayor, and Athys. He explains that the being that attacked them wasn't Miles, but was some demented version of him. Meeny begs Milfre to not kill Miles unless absolutely necessary. She agrees to his terms and flies off to finally confront Salem Rose.

Quotes

“He wears a cape and a top hat in the hottest part of our village. That’s sketchy enough as it is.” –Meeny “Does Moe even know about Salem yet?

The water is still there? We gotta alert the press!” –Meeny “Well, it’s been a good run Blondie.” –Meeny “Hey Galileo? Is this where you lost the Stargazer?” –Meeny “Watersong and Lavasteam have had a peace treaty for a while, so this wouldn’t be an unwelcome visit.” –Meeny “Don’t worry about him, you didn’t do anything wrong. Now, I hear from your mother that you went on an adventure of your own a few days ago. Something about a conch?” –Meeny “Miles! The Giant Robosa was a secret!” –Meeny “I apologize for Galileo Mayor. I didn’t know he had that inside of him.” –Meeny “Galileo, put the sword away, and let’s get out of here.” –Meeny “We did get what we came for! We talked to Mayor Rose, and we have our leads! Your family isn’t here!” –Meeny “We don’t have a home anymore, and we aren’t exiled from Watersong. The two of us talked, and I think we want to stay here.” –Meeny “We should ask Rose about getting another room for one of us.” –Meeny “Sorry, I just didn’t realize how much this would take out of me.” –Meeny “You keeping that spear?” –Meeny “I thought we were gonna make a new life here, together.” –Meeny “Even back home, we barely had our parents, we never had Miney, and Moe was working most of the time. We had Galileo every now and then, but he just left us.” –Meeny “We had jobs to do! We were helping our village survive! Dad had just died, and Mom was bedridden! You seriously can’t be mad at them for that, can you?” –Meeny “Rose, what are you talking about? I’m perfectly capable of thriving on my own.” –Meeny

“Wakey wakey Blondie. It’s time to get on your boat.” –Meeny “Well, we had an argument, Rose knocked you out, and then NavyJ came by and we had a huge party. Such a shame you missed it.” –Meeny “Well, you better get to it then!” –Meeny “You mentioned wanting to go to Galileo’s hometown, so I went ahead and marked that on your map if you wanna start with that.” –Meeny “Galileo did say he lived in Rapocity, right?” –Meeny

“Hey… you! Sorry, but there’s no misunderstanding here.” –Meeny Pretending to be Enthralled “Of course we are! Any ship is fit for the light; it’s just a matter of enthralling the crew!” –Meeny Pretending to be Enthralled “Eeny. Eeny are you okay?” –Meeny “I gave you this. Color’s the answer to all of this, just like last time! It counteracts light just as well as Shadow! Keep these safe, and only use them when absolutely necessary. Just one squirt of color is enough to get rid of Allight’s possession.” –Meeny “Allight. Whenever she enthralls someone, all of their negativity is immediately washed away. All that’s left is a husk of positivity and cheeriness that can’t not smile, even if it goes against the person’s character.” –Meeny “When we leave this cabin, you need to be the most positive person you can be. I have no idea what Allight would do if she caught us, but I know it can’t be good. Now come on, let’s get moving.” –Meeny “Just something I found on the beach today! It must’ve broken when I fell. I’m feeling fine though!” –Meeny “What’re you doing? Hey, stop!” –Meeny “Is there any way for us to get rid of Allight thought?” –Meeny “It’s gonna be okay Jowee. We’ll get her back. I promise.” –Meeny “Not to mention this cool earring she left me with.” –Meeny “Alright, I think I remember how to use this. Everyone gather around if you wanna come!” –Meeny “Well, you know where to find us if you change your mind.” –Meeny “Oh shit, it’s time, isn’t it?” –Meeny “It’s been good! I got some great new powers thanks to what you did in my body.” –Meeny “I’m sure the two of you would like this back.” –Meeny “It’s kinda hazy to be honest with you, but if I remember correctly, she just took it from Sigil when we were on the island.” –Meeny “Yeah, I think we all kinda knew I’d be up here for that blondie over there.” –Meeny “Y’know, I remember back before these two met, Eeny was so adamant that he’d never get married to anyone but the sea, and now, if I understood the registry correctly, this sea-faring master of ships is actually planning to settle down in Rapocity!” –Meeny “You all know we gotta do the obvious toast to the newlyweds, yeah?” –Meeny

“What did you need to run by us, cause I think we all know we'd agree to this.” –Meeny “Oh, Miney already told us about this. We haven't seen it. One of the kids that were with us probably took it.” –Meeny “I'll tell her as soon as I get home.” –Meeny “I'll call Rose.” –Meeny

“Miles, I hope you know what you’re getting into with this. If we leave the alliance, not only will that cut down our imports from Rapoville, it also means we won’t be able to rejoin for at least another year.” –Meeny “Alright then. Good luck, Mr. Mayor Miles Rose.” –Meeny “As advisor to Mayor Rose, I would like to certify Watersong’s withdrawal.” –Meeny “It was a tough call, but you did the right thing.” –Meeny “Hey son, I’ve always wondered, where did that World Gate come from? If memory serves me right, it wasn’t here when I first showed up.” –Meeny “That was a wonderful story Miles, but it didn’t answer my question at all.” –Meeny “Thank you, Miles. Now if I were you, I would probably announce to the people that we’re no longer a part of the Alliance. Then don’t forget your meeting with Kamalah!” –Meeny “Me? Why would this affect me?” –Meeny “Let me know what sooner? Rose, if this is related to your powers, then why would it affect me?” –Meeny “So, because I married Rose, and because this is a disease related to her magic, I have it too?” –Meeny “Is there any way we can undo the bond?” –Meeny “Hey Miles, can you come here for a second?” –Meeny “You know I don’t have much time left, so I need you to promise me something.” –Meeny “Regardless, promise me this Miles. I need you to start a family for yourself. Get married, have some kids, promise me you’ll find someone you love. I don’t want you to be alone.” –Meeny “I love you son. Go be the Salem Rose the world needs.” –Meeny

“Please don’t kill him. That Raposa that passed through here, that wasn’t my son.” –Meeny “I apologize for not showing myself sooner, but please, Miles is a good kid.” –Meeny “I…I understand. Please be safe out there.” –Meeny
