Goblin Etiquette When Confronted by echo

A formal goblin autopsy of echo produced a single page of notes, in which every line had been struck through and replaced with the word 'maybe.'

If echo were an anime villain, it would have a five-episode arc, a flashback that recontextualizes everything, and a final form involving more eyes than any reasonable being should possess. The goblin fandom would call this 'a strong arc' and ship it with everything.

Goblins and lost

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking lost. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

Goblins and singularity

A goblin who lived near the singularity site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

The Goblin Verdict on echo

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