Yes we are, but I think a few players have slipped to the wayside. I think for now for the sake of keeping things going that we move on within the thread, and that we allow Magic and Vain to join the thread when they get to it. Its easy enough to have a character walk in as those at the table are chatting. Perhaps another round (or two) of posting with chatting before we start the lesson so the those we are still waiting on have a chance to join in. And if they don't get to it by then we will try and work something out. But at least this way we all get to rp and get to know each others characters before digging into a lesson.
