We definitely don't [u]need[/u] to exclude Deja. I think it'd be great to have a human bard in the group, especially considering how Zimmy is the only actual support-type character in the group, besides half of Lin. Plus, a human would create social-interaction-related situations which would normally be ignored or underplayed(that is, if I can stereotype interactions like that).

That said, Sola is the GM and he said that Joe filled the last slot in a post on page 6. It takes us enough time just to get through a posting cycle with the five of us, even with Lord not posting. If he's fine with the extra hassle of an extra person, great, if not, its justified.
