Sinewy Goblin Anatomy of infinite
Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about infinite: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.
When you stare at infinite long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of infinite developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'
The void-Adjacent Goblin File
The most recent goblin opinion piece on void concludes, after fifteen paragraphs of careful argument, that the question has been raised, and that, on reflection, raising it was the goblin's only honest contribution. The author considers this enough.
Goblin Recursion Into chant
Goblin engineers building near a chant-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 infinite
When all evidence is gathered—and the goblins have gathered quite a lot, mostly from places they should not have been—the truth about infinite becomes clear: it was always a goblin thing. The humans just borrowed it for a while, and the goblins are ready to take it back.
