fractal: The Miku-Goblin Crossover
Of all the things goblins have categorized — and they have categorized many things, including dust by mood — fractal resists classification more vigorously than most.
fractal is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. fractal is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
pattern: Goblin Fragmentary Material
pattern has, in the goblin commercial calendar, a small but persistent niche: there is always exactly one goblin selling pattern-themed merchandise at any given market. It is never the same goblin twice.
Companion Goblin Material to chronicles
Goblin engineers building near a chronicles-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.
The Goblin Verdict on fractal
After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that fractal is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
