These are Meredith's dialogues.

All I Ever Needed

Intro, New Wirral Park

If the player goes by he/him pronouns:
  • Meredith: Oh. The new boy.
If the player goes by she/her pronouns:
  • Meredith: Oh. The new girl.
If the player goes by they/them pronouns:
  • Meredith: Oh. The newcomer.

(Choice between "Have we met?" and "You knew about me?")

  • Meredith: Hoylake was babbling on about you when he came by to pick up some parts from my shop.
  • Meredith: Have you met him? He's the worst.
  • Meredith: Did you know he's not even a real scientist? Before he landed on New Wirral, he was a DATA ANALYST.
  • Meredith: Someone needs to tell him that only wearing T-shirts that say "I love science" is NOT a personality.
  • Meredith: Anyway, I'm Meredith. Enjoy being trapped on this rock forever with the rest of us until you die.

(Choice between "I'm going to find a way out!" and "It doesn't seem so bad!")

If chosen "I'm going to find a way out!":
  • Meredith: That's cute. You're new here. Sorry hun, but there isn't a way out.
  • Meredith: There's just weird nightmare creatures, and us. On an island.
  • Meredith: That's it.
If chosen "It doesn't seem so bad!":
  • Meredith: There's like, what, a couple hundred people here max?
  • Meredith: You run out of things to talk about pretty quick. Trust me.
  • Meredith: Anyway, I just needed a breath of fresh air. Come meet me at my shop in town sometime. Yellow building on the boardwalk.

Quest Start, Meredith's house

  • Meredith: Oh. You again. I had something to ask you...
  • Meredith: Are you really gonna be searching for a way off this island?
  • Player: Yeah!
  • Meredith: Huh. I almost admire your optimism.
  • Meredith: Well, if you are gonna be doing the whole "travel across the land" thing, could you look out for something for me?

(Choice between "Sure! What are you looking for?" and "Not right now.")

If chosen "Sure! What are you looking for?":
  • Meredith: It's a, um, music record. Do you know what that is?
(Choice between "Yeah!" and "Of course! Why wouldn't I?")
  • Meredith: OK, cool.
  • Meredith: It's, uh, hard to know who knows what around here. Not everyone comes from similar... worlds.
  • Meredith: It makes it pretty hard to talk to people. Harder than usual, even.
  • Meredith: Anyway, the record, it's an album. "All I Ever Needed" by The Witch House. Maybe you've heard of it.
  • Meredith: I used to listen to it back in my previous life. It has... sentimental value, OK?
  • Meredith: There's a few music nerds in Harbourtown - reckon you could ask around for me?
If chosen "Not right now.":
  • Meredith: Sure. You've got stuff to do I'm sure. So have I.

Town Hall

  • Leader Ianthe: Meredith is looking for a music record? You must know your chances of finding this particular record are pretty close to zero, right?
  • Leader Ianthe: I really can't emphasize that enough. The things that end up in New Wirral come from a lot of different worlds, you know.
  • Leader Ianthe: Nonetheless, you might have some luck in Falldown Mall.
  • Player: Falldown Mall?
  • Leader Ianthe: Oh - of course, you're new.
  • Leader Ianthe: There's a shopping complex on the northside of New Wirral. Totally abandoned - just popped into being around fifteen years ago.
  • Leader Ianthe: It's where we get all the clothes for the locals. Not to mention our cassette players and tapes.
  • Leader Ianthe: There's a music shop in the mall, filled with records and cassette tapes, but we keep it locked up for security.
  • Leader Ianthe: Cassette supplies are pretty important, after all. It's a good idea to keep them safe.
  • Leader Ianthe: If the record is there, Meredith might be risking her life just to get it. The rational part of me wants to formally forbid her from trying...
  • Leader Ianthe: But if you go with her, maybe that's a little safer. Here, take this.

(Ianthe gives the player an envelope, with a letter addressed to Meredith.)

Meredith's house

  • Meredith: What's this? A letter..?
  • Meredith: Oh.
  • Player: What did it say?
  • Meredith: It's a note from Ianthe. She says my record might be at Falldown Mall, and I have permission to go...
  • Meredith: But only if you accompany me. She also included the keys to get in.
  • Meredith: Well, shall we go, then?
(Choice between "Are you sure?" and "It could be dangerous!")
  • Meredith: Don't worry, I can defend myself - you didn't think I wouldn't have my own cassette player, would you?
  • Meredith: It's like - if you don't have something to keep you going, you may as well be dead, right?
  • Meredith: Do you... Do you know what's driving you right now?
  • Player: I want to find a way back home.
  • Meredith: Like I said to you before, that's impossible.
  • Meredith: But...
  • Meredith: If you help me find my record, I'll help you find your way home.
  • Meredith: Why not, right? I'll need something new to strive for, after all.

(Meredith is now your partner!)

Falldown Mall

  • Meredith: If I'm being honest? I bet this place looked way tackier before all the... Structural decay.
  • Meredith: I admire the "post-apocalypse" chic.
  • Meredith: That shop up there looks like the kind of place you'd find music, right?
  • Meredith: Let's find a way to reach it.

(Upon reaching the music store)

  • Meredith: "Vinyl Beat". I guess this is the place. Should we go inside?

(Choice between "Sure!" and "Not now.")
(Meredith and the player enter the store.)

  • Meredith: It must be around here somewhere... I'm so close...

(After finding a record by The Witch House)

  • Meredith: That album art - you've found it!
  • Meredith: Wait. Something's not right.
  • Meredith: "Timeless and Strange"? That's not the name of the album...
  • Meredith: And this cover art is slightly different too...
  • Meredith: The track listing...
  • Meredith: I don't know these songs.
  • Meredith: It's some alternate universe version. The one I wanted isn't here.
  • Meredith: I knew I shouldn't have expected anything good to happen to me.
  • Meredith: Typical...

(Meredith and the player fall as the floor collapses, landing in a Mer-Line Station)

  • Meredith: Urgh, what happened...
  • Meredith: <player> , are you OK?
  • Meredith: The record - I dropped it. Can you see it?

(When Meredith and the player meets Nowhere Monarch)

  • Meredith: Wh-what is that?! Why does it look so... wrong?!
  • Meredith: It hurts my head just looking at it.... <player>, it's an Archangel, isn't it...?
  • Nowhere Monarch: I KNEW I FELT IT!
    AN EMPTINESS. A HOLE WHERE A HEART SHOULD BE. IT EMPOWERS ME.
    I WISH TO CONSUME IT WHOLE.
  • Meredith: W-who are you? What are you talking about?
  • Nowhere Monarch: YOUR KIND COULD LIVE SUCH RICH LIVES.
    BUT INSTEAD YOU TRADE IT FOR HOLLOW SYMBOLS AND ARTIFICE.
  • Nowhere Monarch: YOU EXCHANGE SOMETHING MEANINGFUL FOR NOTHING.
    MY CASTLE IS FILLED WITH ALL THE EMPTINESS YOU LEAVE BEHIND!
  • Meredith: Your... castle? The mall? Are you serious?
  • Meredith: This place is a ruin! Filled with trash!
  • Meredith: It's nothing!
  • Nowhere Monarch: YES... IT IS NOTHING...
    AND I AM THE KING OF NOTHING!
    COME, LET ME CONSUME YOUR EMPTINESS!

(Mid-battle against Nowhere Monarch)

  • Meredith: It'd be so easy...
  • Meredith: It'd be so easy to give up and just die...
  • Meredith: But that's not me! I'm sick of letting myself down![1]

(After defeating Nowhere Monarch)

  • Meredith: We did it... We're alive... We fused?
  • Meredith: Uh...
  • Meredith: I realise that this was a really trivial thing to come all this way for.
  • Meredith: And a really stupid thing to nearly die over.
  • Meredith: You didn't have to do this. Thanks mate.
  • Meredith: I think... I've had enough of abandoned malls and mortal peril for today.
  • Meredith: C'mon, let's go back to town and check this record out.[1]

Relationship Level 1

  • Meredith: So... The whole... Fusion thing....
  • Meredith: I felt like we should, uh, talk about it?

(Choice between "It's pretty weird, right?" and "It's pretty cool, right?")

  • Meredith: It's certainly... Something.
  • Meredith: It's like our minds merge, and I am no longer me.
  • Meredith: Afterwards, whilst I can remember it, it doesn't feel like it's something that I experienced.
  • Meredith: It's like remembering a dream. Maybe our brains just aren't equipped to process it...
  • Meredith: Had you, uh, fused with anyone before?
  • Meredith: N-not that it's a big deal if you have! I just wasn't sure if that was your first time.
  • Meredith: This is... coming out all wrong.
  • Meredith: Forget I said anything.
  • Meredith: I've been meaning to ask...
  • Meredith: What makes you so sure that you have a way to return home?
  • Player: I had a vision...
  • Meredith: Uh, you're gonna have to tell me the full story here, mate.

(Fade to black.)

  • Meredith: ...Huh. That's pretty wild.
  • Meredith: I'll uphold my end of the bargain. You helped me find a record, I'll help you find a way off New Wirral.
  • Meredith: Oh! I almost forgot about the record!

(Meredith pops the record into the café's titular gramophone.)

  • Meredith: ...
  • Meredith: This is pretty good.
  • Meredith: I mean, It's not the same album I used to have, but it's familiar enough.
  • Meredith: I, uh, I spent my teen years being very miserable, and bad with people.
  • Meredith: When I went to college, I wanted to change, for real.
  • Meredith: The record was kind of the soundtrack to me, like, trying to change and get better...
  • Meredith: Not that I did. I almost made lifelong friends, but they don't speak to me anymore.
  • Meredith: I know it's me who's the problem, but I want to keep trying.
  • Meredith: Maybe that's what that Archangel meant. Maybe I've spent too much time distracting myself with stuff instead of trying to actually live.
  • Meredith: But even if we didn't find exactly what I was looking for, I'm... OK with this outcome.
  • Meredith: You didn't need to risk your life to help me.
  • Meredith: A lot sucks about New Wirral, but...
  • Meredith: You're kinda cool.

Relationship Level Scenes

Relationship Level 2

  • Meredith: With both the Archangels appearing and us fusing for the first time, things have suddenly gotten very strange in my life lately.

(Choice between "Strange?" and "In a bad way?")

  • Meredith: Don't take that the wrong way! Fusing with you is cool. But it's weird, right?
  • Meredith: I guess I wasn't expecting this island to throw any more surprises at me. Not to mention your plan to find a way to leave...
  • Meredith: It's been so long since I arrived here, I've barely thought about going back.
  • Meredith: I guess... I was never that close to anyone back home to begin with. I don't like most people.
  • Meredith: I think that's why I like distracting myself.
  • Meredith: When I arrived here, I kind of got obsessed with electronics. Making lights and stuff for the town.
  • Meredith: It gives me something to focus on so I don't have to think about everything else I'm missing.
  • Meredith: I think it was the same with finding that album.
  • Meredith: Urgh. Sorry for being such a... Sorry for being me, I guess.

(Choice between "You don't have to apologize!" and "Hey, don't worry about it!")

  • Meredith: Heh. Thanks. For a second, I sounded like Kayleigh there.
  • Meredith: Do you know what I mean? She always acts like she's got something to apologize for.
  • Meredith: That's enough sincerity.
  • Meredith: C'mon, let's finish up here.

Relationship Level 3

  • Meredith: The Gramophone café always reminds me of my dad. He'd brew a pot of coffee every morning before heading into London for work, so that coffee smell is kind of seared into my brain.

(Choice between "Sounds nostalgic!" and "That's a nice memory!")

  • Meredith: I guess so...
  • Meredith: I can never tell if I miss my parents. We never had a huge amount in common. They grew up in a different time and a different place.
  • Meredith: I guess there was a big generational divide. It's not my fault my parents listened to incredibly bad music!
  • Meredith: When I moved out to go to college, we didn't really stay... in touch. That's OK.

(Choice between "That's sad." and "That sounds kinda lonely.")

  • Meredith: I suppose it is.
  • Meredith: Y'know, I don't have many strong memories of growing up.
  • Meredith: I had friends, and life experiences, but thinking back on those memories...
  • Meredith: It always feels like something that was just happening around me, not something I was participating in.
  • Meredith: Like I've never been fully in the pilot seat.
  • Meredith: I guess I was an uncool kid, then an uncool teenager. As for being an adult...
  • Meredith: Well, there's still time to see how I do at this.
  • Meredith: Maybe I just need to make more friends whilst I'm here in New Wirral. Urgh.
  • Meredith: No-one ever tells you growing up that making friends as an adult is hard.

(Choice between "At least we're friends!" and "What about us?")

  • Meredith: It's easier with us - we have, like, a hobby together.

(Choice between "A... hobby?" and "We do?")

  • Meredith: Yeah, we're looking for a magic world portal. That's a hobby, right?
  • Player: I guess so!
  • Meredith: I mean, I hope we'd still hang out... even if we didn't find your doorway.

(Choice between "Of course we would!" and "You're cute when you blush!")

If chosen "Of course we would!":
  • Meredith: Heh. Cool.
If chosen "You're cute when you blush!":
  • Meredith: Urgh, you can't compliment me like that. I totally don't handle it well.
  • Meredith: It makes my whole body feel like it's folding in on itself.
  • Meredith: Huh, I'm more tired than I thought.
  • Meredith: Do you think transforming and battling counts as exercise? I guess it's pretty exhausting.
  • Meredith: Anyway, let's go and hang out together and punch monsters and stuff.

Relationship Level 4

  • Meredith: Y'know, all that stuff with the vinyl record I was looking for got me thinking.

(Choice between "What about?" and "Go on...")

  • Meredith: Well, let me put it this way:
  • Meredith: We found an album that had never been recorded in my world, right?
  • Meredith: And if there are infinite worlds, then this implies... Infinite albums.

(Choice between "I guess that makes sense!" and "Could that be true?")

  • Meredith: So like, when I was a teenager, I was a big fan of this old fantasy author. I was a huge dork.
  • Meredith: Every book he wrote wasn't just a story, it was like peering into his mind. His aspirations, his beliefs, his philosophies...
  • Meredith: I guess writing a book is like putting a bit of yourself out into the world, forever.
  • Meredith: Eventually I read everything he'd ever written when he was alive, and the finality of it stuck with me.
  • Meredith: I'd experienced everything he'd ever written. There would never be any more.
  • Meredith: I guess that happens to all of us when we die... Eventually, we'll have said everything we'll ever say.
  • Meredith: But if there's infinite worlds, then maybe there's an endless list of different books he ended up writing.
  • Meredith: And maybe... there's endless versions of us, having endless memories and experiences of their own.
  • Meredith: Maybe we never really die, in a sense.
  • Meredith: Just something that's been on my mind, is all.
  • Meredith: C'mon, shall we go?

Relationship Level 5

  • Meredith: OK, are you ready for this?
  • Meredith: ...
  • Meredith: Movie night. At my place. Are you in?

(Choice between "Sure!" and "Not now.")

If chosen "Sure!":
  • Meredith: Alright, you're gonna love this.
  • Meredith: So check this out - the only working movie projector on New Wirral.
(Choice between "Amazing!" and "How did you get this?!")
  • Meredith: It's been one of my many side-hobbies.
  • Meredith: It's time I tell you about New Wirral's unspoken curse.
  • Meredith: You see this?
  • Meredith: It's a video tape. But not just any video tape...
  • Meredith: It's a video tape for the 1981 action movie "Blood Puncher".
  • Meredith: Hundreds of video tapes have washed up on New Wirral's shores in the time I've been here.
  • Meredith: I've collected them.
  • Meredith: All of them.
  • Meredith: Guess what?
  • Meredith: They're Blood Puncher.
  • Meredith: Every single tape is Blood Puncher.
  • Meredith: It's the only film you can watch in New Wirral.
  • Meredith: So guess what we're watching?
(Choice between "Sounds like my kind of movie!" and "I'm ready to enjoy this ironically!")
  • Meredith: That's the spirit.
  • Meredith: I wanted to say, thanks for hanging out with me.
  • Meredith: I've been pretty miserable on New Wirral, but this is, like, the most fun I've had.
(Choice between "I'm glad we're friends!" and "Maybe this should be a date?")
If chosen "I'm glad we're friends!":
  • Meredith: Heh. Me too, <player>.
  • Meredith: Okay, enough sincerity, mate.
  • Meredith: We have an awful movie to watch. I hope you're ready.
If chosen "Maybe this should be a date?":
  • Meredith: ...
  • Meredith: Took you long enough to ask.
  • Meredith: C'mon, we've literally fused together.
  • Meredith: It kinda puts me in your head a bit, y'know? And, like, of course I think you're cute.
  • Meredith: Why not? Date night. With a bad movie.
  • Meredith: Can we keep things casual? Like, non-committal?
If the player goes by she/her or they/them pronouns:
  • Meredith: I've, uh, only ever been with guys before - so this is also kinda new to me.
  • Meredith: I want to hang out with you still...
  • Meredith: But I also want to make out with you sometimes.
  • Meredith: Anyway, I've seen this movie a million times.
  • Meredith: So... we don't have to do much watching.
If chosen "Not now.":
  • Meredith: Boo. Give me a shout when you're up for it. It should be a laugh.

Romance

  • Meredith: You haven’t said anything for a while, <player>. Is something bothering you?

(Choice between "I want us to be together." and "Nothing in particular!")

If chosen "I want us to be together.":
  • Meredith: I…
  • Meredith: I mean, of course I like you.
  • Meredith: I don’t know why you like me, but I like you.
  • Meredith: But we’re working towards leaving this world…
  • Meredith: If we succeed, we might not stay together. Are you… OK with that?
(Choice between "I am." and "I think so.")
  • Meredith: Screw it. Why not?
If the player goes by he/him pronouns:
  • Meredith: Me, with a serious boyfriend. Sounds weird. Feels right.
If the player goes by she/her pronouns:
  • Meredith: Me, with a serious girlfriend. Sounds weird. Feels right.
If the player goes by they/them pronouns:
  • Meredith: Me, with a serious partner. Sounds weird. Feels right.
  • Meredith: It’s always been easier for me to tell myself that I need to be happier with myself before I get into a relationship with someone, but I think the truth is…
  • Meredith: I might NEVER be truly confident in who I am. I’m not ever gonna be my perfect self.
  • Meredith: But you make me happy, and I'm more whole when I’m with you than I am without.
  • Meredith: Th-that’s enough sappiness from me. Oh, and I can’t do cute-talk.
  • Meredith: If you’re expecting me to ever call you “honey” or “dear”, you’ve got another thing coming, mate.
If chosen "Nothing in particular!":
  • Meredith: Uh, OK.

Campsite and Gramophone Café Conversations

This section is incomplete. Feel free to add the missing information by editing it.

  • Meredith: This might be a bit morbid, but I do sometimes wonder if people from my "previous life" ever think about me.
  • Meredith: I picture some old colleagues sitting in a dreary London pub one evening, asking each other: "Whatever happened to Meredith Chen, who disappeared off the face of the earth one day, never to be seen again?"
  • Meredith: ...
  • Meredith: That actually sounds much more depressing when I say it out loud like that.


  • Meredith: Do you remember what you were doing right before you came here?
  • Meredith: Like, before you came to New Wirral.
  • Meredith: Sometimes I try and remember the exact moment, but I can't...
  • Meredith: It's like trying to remember the moment you fall asleep.
  • Meredith: I can remember what I was doing around that time, but the exact moment is lost on me.
  • Meredith: Weird.


  • Meredith: I thought the monsters of New Wirral were creepy enough...
  • Meredith: But the "Archangels"? Like the one we fought? They're in a league of their own.
  • Meredith: The way it spoke to us was like it was a person. Like, they're as smart as us, right? Maybe smarter.
  • Meredith: The fact that there's just giant reality-bending intelligent monsters living in the railway system that apparently lies under the entire island we live on...
  • Meredith: Well, I guess I won't sleep easy tonight knowing that.


  • Meredith: I wonder...
  • Meredith: If we were to find our way back to our homes... Our real homes...
  • Meredith: Would all this time have passed there?
  • Meredith: Or would we end up back at the moment we left, like all this had happened in the blink of an eye?


  • Meredith: The cool thing about The Witch House is that like, three other bands had to disband for them to form.
  • Meredith: Procgen fell apart when their bassist left to start his own religion, so vocalist Rob Handsome needed work...
  • Meredith: Drummer Linda Steel had just left the punk trio Bad Horses after a record label dispute...
  • Meredith: And guitarist Daniel "Safety First" Buttercroft was the only survivor of a tour bus crash which killed the entirety of his band No Seatbelts.
  • Meredith: So the stars aligned, mostly through bad circumstances, and they were able to form The Witch House.
  • Meredith: It makes me think how small the chances are of that even happening...
  • Meredith: I wonder what the probability of the two of us being here, in this moment, must be?
  • Meredith: Pretty unlikely, I'd guess.


  • Meredith: Have you noticed how Harbourtown provides for everyone, no matter what they bring to the community?
  • Meredith: I mean, the locals still have their own problems, sure, but...
  • Meredith: No-one is cast out. Everyone kinda contributes what they can, and if you can't? No worries, mate.
  • Meredith: It's a kind of lonely society, sure.... but it's not a cruel one.
  • Meredith: I can't, uh, exactly say the same for where I'm from.

Campsite

  • Meredith: UGH. I think something just crawled on my foot.
  • Meredith: Did I ever mention my tolerance for bugs is pretty low?
  • Meredith: I'm just going to pretend it was a stray blade of grass and really not think about it.

After discovering Night's Bridge Station

  • Meredith: So... do you believe it's true?

(Choice between "Do I believe what?" and "What do you mean?")

  • Meredith: That the big gateway you found can take us home?

(Choice between "I have to." and "What other choice do I have?")

  • Meredith: I... resigned myself to being here forever. It's a little scary to have to start thinking of a future for myself.


  • Meredith: You spoke to Ianthe about the gateway, huh?
  • Meredith: If the gateway does in fact work, it's gonna cause a whole lot of work for the rangers.

(Choice between "What do you mean?" and "How come?")

  • Meredith: People here are gonna have to shift their entire outlooks. New Wirral won't be this place that traps you forever anymore. It'll be a place some people simply... end up, from time to time.
  • Meredith: That's assuming that people will even continue to end up here to begin with.
  • Meredith: The rangers are like the caretakers of this community, right? They're gonna have to figure out how to manage this whole logistical change.
  • Meredith: I'm glad I'm not one of them. Too much work.

After defeating Aleph Null

  • Meredith: So much has happened recently, we haven't even had a chance to talk about our big battle against Aleph.
  • Meredith: Like, transforming into monsters with cassette tapes is one thing. Fusing with you and becoming a bigger monster is another. But when we all fused together on top of that train?
  • Meredith: That was mental.
  • Meredith: I'm not sure how to describe it... like with regular fusion, it felt like taking a backseat view to what my body was doing.
  • Meredith: But it wasn't just you and me this time. It was all of us, and I could feel our collective desire.
  • Meredith: You know what? Archangels are strong, but people are WAY stronger.

Character Interactions in Gramophone Café

Meredith and Kayleigh

  • Meredith: ...I really don’t get it.
  • Meredith: What is the “inter net”? Half the people in Harbourtown are crying over how much they miss it!
  • Kayleigh: Y’know, the internet? Like on computers, or phones?
  • Meredith: On phones? Do you speak to people over it?
  • Kayleigh: …What was the current year in your world before you came here, Meredith?
  • Meredith: 1989, why do you ask?
  • Kayleigh: Oh! OK. I can see we’re maybe a little out of sync with each other.

Meredith and Eugene

  • Meredith: ...I did have some engineering work to do back at the shop, but I might just swerve it for now.
  • Eugene: Yeah! You gotta take a break sometimes, buddy!
  • Eugene: …. Wait, what did you say just now?
  • Meredith: Uhh, I said I had some engineering work to do?
  • Eugene: What did you say after that…?
  • Meredith: ...I was gonna swerve it?
  • Eugene: Is that a phrase? To “swerve” something?
  • Meredith: Oh, I mean, yeah. Like if you’re going to skip out on doing something or going somewhere, that’s you “swerving” it.
  • Eugene: OK, gotcha. I shall embrace your unusual slang with an open mind.
  • Meredith: I think I’m gonna swerve this whole conversation.

Meredith and Felix

  • Meredith: ...My music tastes?
  • Felix: Yeah! What did you used to listen to back in your world?
  • Meredith: That’s a broad question. I like bands where all the members hate each other.
  • Felix: That’s very specific.
  • Meredith: I’m a very specific person.

Meredith and Viola

  • Viola: I must confess, dear Meredith, the way in which you fashion yourself is unlike any I have seen before – in my country, and in this one.
  • Meredith: I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or not.
  • Viola: I mean no insult. You seem unconcerned with aligning yourself with the appearance of those around you. It implies a deeper confidence in oneself.
  • Viola: I find you rather admirable in that regard, dear Meredith!
  • Meredith: Uh, thanks mate.

Meredith and Barkley

  • Barkley: Arf!
  • Meredith: You like belly rubs, don’t you?

Meredith and Sunny

  • Sunny: ...No, I never had to “drink blood” as a Landkeeper...
  • Meredith: So you’re not, like, a vampire. But are you sure you aren’t maybe a little bit undead? You look pretty pale.
  • Sunny: ”Undead”? I’m not familiar with the word... Is it bad..?
  • Meredith: I guess not. I’m just curious about you.
  • Sunny: You’re... curious about me...?
  • Meredith: Don’t take it the wrong way! You’re like, a living dead girl. Or maybe you’re not. Either way, it’s cool.
  • Sunny: So you’re saying you don’t quite understand me, and that interests you...?
  • Meredith: I... guess?

Meredith and Frankie

  • Frankie: ...I just don’t know, Meredith. If I leave New Wirral, I’m going to have to get a job and all that boring stuff.
  • Meredith: You’re just a kid, right? You’ve got some time left before you hit the mundanities of adulthood.
  • Frankie: I’m eighteen! I don’t think you’re that much older than me!
  • Meredith: Oh. I didn’t realise. I guess you have such a... youthful energy that I mistook you for younger.
  • Frankie: I get that a lot!

Here Comes The Sun

(After meeting The Mer-Line)

  • Meredith: That didn’t go how I expected.

Magikrab's Gauntlet

(When encountering Meredith)

  • Meredith: Well, this is an odd feeling. Time to face myself, I guess.

(When encountering Nowhere Monarch)

  • Meredith: Urgh. This thing again.

(When Meredith is on her own)

  • Meredith: Oh, great. What have I gotten myself into here?

(When Meredith is the first fighter in a pair)

  • Meredith: Alright, I've got a strategy in mind. Here goes: we hit them harder than they hit us. What do you reckon?

(When Meredith is the second fighter in a pair)
