The Goblin Mirror Shows You fractal

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

When you stare at fractal long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of fractal developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'

Salvage Notes: prophecy

In the goblin underground, prophecy is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

A Goblin Aside Concerning protocol

The annual goblin protocol colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

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.
