[quote=@Guardian Angel Haruki] *Ciel knows Daniel and became friends with him because she babysat him when she was in high school and he was in elementary/middle school (eight year difference). *Ciel knows Malcer from High School, became friends, and stay friends online until Bartholomew isolated Ciel from her friends and family. [/quote] [quote=@Crimson Flame] Finn could talk to Malcer online, but that might be a little weird for them to meet up. :hmm [/quote] Bee and I have discussed how Malcer and Daniel could have met, and because of the large age gap and Malcer's nature, pretty much the only connection is pure luck or Ciel, so I have this idea that they might have met via Ciel chatting with Malcer online while babysitting. Perhaps she even double-upped by being part of a roleplay session. And through that, it's possible that Malcer might invite Daniel to play too, which could end up with them having a younger member in their sessions. Though, even then, Malcer and Daniel probably never met in person until the theme park. So, that presents a similar issue on Finn's end, as Finn is just too young to typically be part of Malcer's social circle. And anyway, it's perhaps unrealistic to expect everyone in the party to all know each-other from the get-go with any real level of diverse backstories.
