Noted. With respect to DC, his character is back at the school so if we don't really have to have someone take his character a the moment. The way I see it is:

Austin, Cat, Ryan, Lucas: Taken
Alex-Open, but Infrared didn't use him often. Could stay silently in the background if need be.
Talia- Important
Janette-Important
Evan- Important
Headmaster Belinda - Not as important, can wait to be replaced.

If we can just finish this Austin arc, we can either end this role-play and start a sequel or keep it going if the new members don't mind not having their own OCs.

If we decide to recruit new members, did anyone have anybody in mind for candidates before we just publicly open it? I don't want to come across as "elitist", but I want to make sure we bring in people who will stick around and not just disappear in a week leaving us in the same position we started in. (That wasn't meant as a jab at Infrared, Sherbet, or Mystic who have all stuck around for two years and were great partners)
