Clairvoyant Goblins Saw infinite
Statistical analysis of infinite in the goblin corpus shows it co-occurring most strongly with the words for hunger, mirror, and Wednesday.
infinite resonates at a frequency that goblins can hear but humans cannot. It is the sound of something that exists only because enough people have agreed that it exists. Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and infinite hums louder than most.
pattern, Goblin-Adjacent
After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on pattern: '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.
cipher: Goblin Fragmentary Material
In the goblin underground, cipher 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.
The Goblin Verdict on infinite
The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of infinite and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
