Really simple but fun meetcute idea I just had based on realtime events
Starts at a coffee shop with Character A being nosy and glancing over at Character B’s phone, expecting to see maybe social media or fanfic or something else
Character B is squinting at the menu of the restaurant next door
Character A
Wonders whether or not character B is new in town? Just indecisive? Are you getting a coffee and then going next door?
Can’t stop themselves from laughing out loud at just how mundane that is
Tries to spark up a conversation with a “Hey, I love that place!” (they’re never been there)
most likely in that order
Erik
Bad at both. Has hundreds of unread messages and missed calls he never actually plans to get back to
The only person he’ll answer semi-regularly (like once a week) is Lumi, and they barely even text because they’re always right next to each other
Veronica
Prefers texting, uses lots of fun punctuation and emojis like (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾
Low-key a meme queen. Finds the most obscure reaction images.
Doesn’t mind phone calls, absolutely does mind when they take longer than 15 minutes.
Serena
Loves calling to check up on you and very much keeps you on the phone for longer than 1 hour
Texts you as if she’s writing a letter to her lover overseas. Perfect grammar, very long winded, occasionally writes “from Serena” at the end
Sylvando
Calls AND texts like a 90s girl kicking her feet in bed, painting her nails, hair up in curlers, modelling on a motorola razr advertisement
Jade
Texts, but like, not very expressively. Uses an emoji every now and then. Her manner of speaking does not translate into written word at all. It always sounds like she’s mad at you.
Rab
Texts like your grandfather does next question
Hendrik
Prefers calling. Writes his text messages like he’s writing an email.
“Good morning, Luminary. I am reaching out to inquire if we will still be visiting the library with our companions this afternoon. Sincerely, Hendrik.”
Jasper
Texts like your mother does. The way he phrases things gives you anxiety. Incredibly offended if you do not respond immediately. Uses ellipses (“…”) excessively.
i need you to do whatever it takes to have a good day today
Making my younger self very happy by still being into kaimei in 2025, things never change!!!

Thinking again on some Dave Lore: In the book "Dave: A Legend", he's mentioned as becoming a "pink-masked privateer". A privateer was sponsored by the state, so to speak - which got me wondering.
A privateer was often issued commissions, or letters of marque, allowing them to attack other ships without fear of it being labelled as piracy, and being allowed to claim those ships as prizes under law. Dave only became a privateer after his beloved King fell - which I've always assumed to have been King Arnout of Zwaardsrust, the last King. After Arnout fell, so too did Zwaardsrust, leaving Dave without a home kingdom.
Twenty years or so later he met Sylv - a noble by birth - and together they painted all the masts and sails in the inland sea pink. Ergo, Sylv, as Dave's newfound sovereign, commissioned Dave and allowed him to go after those ships without fear of reprisal - and even helped him in that task, as the book mentions.
