I'm gonna say no for the time being. I'll be honest, I inherited the whole Siberian occupation angle and it's never been my favorite. I got like one storyline I want to finish up and then I'll be done.
EDIT: Provided you can actually stay part of the game. I'm not going to retcon and give up storyline potential for someone who isn't active.
Posted! Hooooly fuuuuck am I rustier than I thought I'd be, so as always, critique is welcome.
I wanted to have a second part to it, about the same length, to introduce some characters back at the monastery. But, I have to start getting ready for a 19-day field op coming up on Thursday, so I don't think I can get it done before then. I'll bring a notebook or something with me so I can work on it while I'm gone.
To pre-empt something I hope someone will pick up on: I am aware the golden eyes/things called Dawn association has been done in other works of fiction, specifically the Fallen London universe and a mediocre horror movie I saw in college that's name currently escapes me. I wasn't trying to be derivative of either of those, but in hindsight it probably looks a little bit that way. To clarify, Kirill doesn't have weird golden irises from being "touched by the sun" or some shit like that. This man literally ripped his eyes from their sockets and replaced them with solid 18-karat spheres as an ultimate act of devotion. Depending on the level of body horror tolerated in this RP, I may depict how and why that happens, plus some other rituals they've come up with.

My boy what're you doing there in the 'ole field? Did a three week FTX last month myself.
Obviously not anything too intense that precludes writing PoW posts in the field *thinking emoji*
*holds up hands* You got me, I’m a filthy POG, so I’m exempt from a lot of the dumb shit. I’m a field radio operator in the Marines. Joined thinking I was gonna be a data guy, but it is what it is.
