Notes: This is the beginning of the story, I think. Originally designed to combine the comment-size pieces a jade figure, bottled, over-processed & sweetened tea, and a table top scarred from work tools.

Generally a semi-secularized Russian Orthodox, with civil-service/government records kept in addition to Church records (this particular Tsardom is a weird squishy amalgation of pre-soviet Tsarist, the Siberian Conquest and modern-ish time periods). Depends on how faithful an area/a couple is, in some respects.
I haven't done a great deal of reading on the Orthodox church, yet, so I can't tell you how that differs from Greek Orthodox or the variations on Catholic practice.

Eeee! They're both adorable, and the captain and her not!job are interesting. And yay, now I kinda know what a mouse is! (One had suspicions, but couldn't shake the image of little robotic rodents, complete with tails and whiskers)

<3 Interactions here are neat, as are the things he notices.

(on my way to grocery store, gas station and home. not in that order.)

I like this katya person I've just met.

*prrr* this one is full of details (down to the noises the door makes that he never fixed!) and sweetness; not all of it in the tea, either.
