Well, no. Or at least not yet. To sum up: Rei decided to end suffering quite visibly, attempting to kill one person and use their body to kill another. Peter died, Snaketongue was very annoyed the plans for Kevin being president could have been derailed at all and Rei ended up being banished Outside the universe by Joni. Despite the above, it is unlikely Rei shall return.
Plot wise, Emma woke up from a coma and is adjusting to life several years after her coma and events are slowly pulling her towards the other PCs. Being a healer (and a helper!) shall no doubt aid this as the game goes on. Alex is trying to work on destroying her family curse, Karl is balancing two very different jobs and Joni has collected even more Items (including a school).
As Alex's fencing school and the high school have pretty much done their job of connecting PCs and NPCs together at times, they're more or less becoming purely background now. Alex's grandfather is dealing with the day-to-day aspects of the school, Karl has been asked to do a new assignment (Vericorp having decided he's more useful than Shell and, probably, more able to destroy Brodie if their newest employee turns out to be a problem) and Joni is trying to deal with various magicians, keeping friendships and dealing with the ramifications of having beaten up the antichrist and prevented it from being born.
NPC wise (in no parrticular order and probably missing more than a few):
- The Grey Man is free again, though what the entity in Kyle plans remains unknown, as if whatever he did to Ike and Denice as 'payment' for being kept captive for a weekend.
- Helen and Thomas, agents of the Shadow Walker, are preparing to deal with Pierce Chevalier, who seems to be worried that the Shadow Walker is still manipulating him and that Alex is a trap/trick.
- Julius Gull and Drake Hakurei are trying to find out what Emma is, in their own ways.
- Helena is friends again with Joni, so everything is OK.
- Dennis is trying to prevent the flaw Joni discovered in his metal from working and is being Mr. Grumpy over the issue.
- Alex's sister and mother are on the run, though from whom or why is unknown at present.
- The Scry is considering recovering his t-shirt from Emma and pleased Alex is helping him not have to learn to use a sword.
- Brodie is now working for Vericorp, who really should have insisted on a psych test beforehand.
- Blot is killing rats and being very bored.
- To continue with B's, Brandon is fine now, sans headaches and unsure why. His parents are worried that the miraculous recovery can end as quickly as it came about.
- Tyrell is coming to terms with the knowledge that the Grey Man toyed with him for centuries for no other viable reason that 'just because'.
- Eugene Stoffel is trying to find ways to spite his father and make use of the family estate. This can't end well.
- Bea's mirror-self is getting worried about losing her job for hitting on her boss.
- Father Brownwell is finishing translating Enochian for Joni and getting worried that it is later than anyone thinks.
- The White Lord is debating steps to take against Joni
- Kevin has decided to embrace his power rather than allow others to be hurt because he didn't use it. The school might well get its own helipad.
- The werwewolves in the park are debating steps to take against the animal control officials.
- Mr. Stuffins has decided that if people keep trying to put him on a diet, the end will be very, very nigh.
