Dissociated Goblins on echo

A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about echo and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'

What makes echo so fascinating to goblins is the way it defies expectations. Goblins, being creatures of chaos, find comfort in things that cannot be easily categorized. echo fits this description perfectly. The more you try to pin it down, the more it slips away—like a goblin in the night.

The Goblin Verdict on echo
