About me:

About me:
My name is Venimalia and I’m an Imp. What’s that, you ask? Imps are quite small, but we can pass as human if we want to. I wear high heels and everyone thinks I’m just some small woman. Except that I have yellow eyes like a cat. If I want to pass as a human, I have to wear contact lenses. I have to say, modern human technology is quite practical, but here in my realm, Imprana, we use magic. Imprana lies in a dimension parallel to the human earth and can only be entered and left by Imps.
I work as a keeper of knowledge, which means that I’m in charge of memory stones. See, we don’t have scientific books, we have magical stones that one can unlock to gain knowledge or abilities. One needs great magical powers to unlock some of these stones. Thankfully I am that. Unfortunately I’m also no more than semi-sane. At least people tell me that every time they try to find something in my collection. Personally, I think of myself as slightly eccentric, slightly plump and quite capable at my job.
So here in this blog I’m trying to give my fellow imps and all interested humans insight into my thought processes. I welcome any comments, but please don’t expect a logical-for-you answer.

House of Knowledge rules

I am thinking of updating the HoK rules around here. This is my first draft. What do you think? To harsh?

HoK rules

These are the rules of this House of Knowledge. Comply to them or suffer the consequences.

- Seek help! No matter what your HoK related problems are, always come to the reference desk with them. Do not try to solve them on your own. Chances are, you’ll only make them worse, and not just by adding a pissed off Keeper of Knowledge to them.
- Walk in an orderly fashion! I am sure when your mother taught you to walk she also taught you not to stomp or drag your feet. But above all, don’t you dare run in my HoK.
- Cases are essential! Memory stones are very delicate things, especially when out of their case. So don’t let them lie around and by all that’s holy, don’t ever bring two memory stones close together without their casing. That’s the kind of dumb ass move that gets you killed.
- No memory, no shelving! If you can’t remember where you took an item from, don’t just put it somewhere in the shelves. Leave it on your work table or bring it to the reference desk. And don’t think I wouldn’t find out if you shelve something wrongly. I am a very powerful magician as well as one strict Keeper of Knowledge.
- No try outs! If I catch you trying out newly learned abilities inside the HoK the consequences will be dire.
- Tardiness will be punished! Believe me, you don’t want to know what happens to people who bring items back after their due date.
