Oh my this thread is so much fun!
There are quite a lot of fae buzzing around my apartment.
Of course there are the brownies...or home gnomes,who borrow things just when you were looking for them!
There are many of them in my parent's house. And anytime we look for something...that up until a day ago was sitting right there in plain sight....and has now disappeared...my mom and I will just both look at each other and say "yep, Brownies again"
They often return things within a few days when we no longer need them.
And they have moved into my apartment as well. And they like to play the game called "This was there...and now it's here!"
And like most, we have the dreaded sock goblins (or sock monsters) who eat the socks and spit out a lot of lint when they are done. There is usually enough lint in the lint trap of the dryer to make a whole new sock. He likes to eat two or three at a time, but never from the same pair.
We also have the sparklies...the fae that like to take jewelry..(.especially the one earring from a pair)...but my sparklies will leave things in exchange....
Like bits of tinfoil, sparkly rhinestones, random beads and tons of flat marbles...will end up in the most bizarre of places! (like in the couch cussions, and under the bathroom sink!)
Right now, I am dealing with the clutter faeries...or what I like to call...the Materializers.
I am trying to reorganize my studio space, and have new shelves so that all my art supplies will have a place to live. But while I am moving around furniture and such, I keep uncovering more and more stuff! Stuff that could NEVER fit in the little spaces behind shelves and under tables!
But here it is! I hauled 11 bins full of stuff that was all in ONE corner of the room!
The Materializers must have put this stuff there...because I have no idea that I even had most of it!
And our computer has Daemons in the hardrive. We thought they might be just mischievious little faeries...but we have discovered that they are in fact dark Daemons.
We tried to get an exorcist to come and drive them out of the computer, but it didn't work...they just blew up the motherboard, and laughed manically.
When we got a new one, we decided we needed a Cabalist Techane Sorcerer to bind the deamons away, and make them work for us.
They still occasionally get out of thier protective circle.
Often when my husband tries to "fix" something that isn't broken...in order to make the computer "faster".
And then we are in real trouble for abpout a week, until we can get the daemons under control.
