Hauntological Goblins Mourn hologram

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about hologram: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

The goblin board's investment thesis on hologram runs to forty pages, of which six are diagrams, fourteen are footnotes, and the remaining twenty consist of the same paragraph slightly reworded each time.

prophecy, Goblin-Adjacent

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

The engine Manifestation

The annual goblin engine 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 hologram

The goblin verdict on hologram is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. hologram has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
