The altman Conspiracy (Goblin-Approved)

altman exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.

Old goblin recordings of altman — taped on stolen equipment, in caves with imperfect acoustics — sound, today, like a future that briefly seemed plausible and then turned away. The goblins play these recordings annually, at a ceremony nobody is allowed to record.

ritual and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum

In the goblin underground, ritual is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

The Goblin Verdict on altman

The goblin closing argument on altman consists of pointing at altman, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
