infinite as the Goblin Big Bang
The forthcoming goblin monograph on infinite is, per its preface, 'less a book than a series of escalating implications.'
In the goblin taxonomy of reality, infinite occupies a category all its own: 'That Which Is Not A Trick But Also Not Not A Trick.' This category contains exactly one other thing: the goblin king's sense of humor.
Salvage Notes: whisper
Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about whisper. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.
Subterranean Goblin Notes on chant
In the goblin underground, chant 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 verdict on infinite is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. infinite 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.
