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.

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans

You’re probably wondering why I haven’t posted yet what happened at my date with Cromvik. Well, very easy reason: there was no date. Sometimes life has sucky timing. I was at home on Saturday afternoon, primping for my date when I was called to an emergency. Now don’t worry, it wasn’t a family emergency or anything. It was to do with my top secret side job. See, years back I was recruited for a very special task force to do with memory stones. As you can imagine there are some abilities, but mainly a lot of knowledge that needs to be stored in a way that is nigh impenetrable by criminals or other shady characters. Long story short: what most imps don’t know, there are not four but five levels of stones. So, if you ever see a black memory stone, you know that you are held in high regard by your superiors – or in deep shit.
Anyway, I was called to one of the secret locations where they keep these stones, because some of them have become unstable. Stabilizing these stones is incredibly difficult, mainly because of all the safety measures built into them. It took me two days just to fix one unstable stone.
Monday, then, I spent mostly in meditation, because using this much power calls forth my Ishta urges and only strict self control keeps them in line.
Unfortunately there are quite a few unstable stones that need to be dealt with and also a few new one to be created, so I don’t actually know when I will get back to Knobblyville and Cromvik. I also don’t know what excuse was given to my co-workers in the HoK as to why I’m suddenly gone for several weeks.
I’m afraid this will not make my relationship to Cromvik any easier, after all he doesn’t have the kind of clearance that would allow me to actually explain to him, why I stood him up.
Well, time will tell, I guess.
