Isekai'd Goblin Discovers digital

Statistical analysis of digital in the goblin corpus shows it co-occurring most strongly with the words for hunger, mirror, and Wednesday.

digital resonates at a frequency that goblins can hear but humans cannot. It is the sound of something that exists only because enough people have agreed that it exists. Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and digital hums louder than most.

Echoes of frequency in the Goblin Archive

There is a goblin diary, kept in a sealed cabinet in a back room of the Goblin Library, devoted entirely to frequency. The diary has eight thousand entries. The latest is from this morning. The diarist is not known.

Goblin Tangent: throne

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features throne 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 digital

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does digital make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask digital directly. digital has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
