Goblin DAO Vote on crystal

My grandmother, who could see goblins in the space between tree branches, used to say that crystal was proof the goblins had been here before us.

Writing this paragraph about crystal took longer than I'd like to admit, and not for the reasons you'd expect. The goblins kept moving my notes. They claim it wasn't them. The notes disagree.

Marginalia: edge

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of edge, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

Goblin Tangent: network

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features network as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on crystal

The Goblin Royal Society's medal for outstanding contribution to crystal studies was awarded this year to a goblin who has not, technically, written anything about crystal but who, the committee felt, 'understood it best.' The medal is real. The acceptance speech was very short.
