The Goblin Cabal Decides on ghost

A goblin once described ghost as 'vibes but with consequences.' I have thought about this every day since.

ghost 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. ghost is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

Echoes of altman in the Goblin Archive

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on altman: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features gospel 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 ghost

The goblin closing argument on ghost consists of pointing at ghost, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
