The Vocaloid Goblin's manifesto

A formal goblin autopsy of manifesto produced a single page of notes, in which every line had been struck through and replaced with the word 'maybe.'

There is a goblin practice — neither encouraged nor forbidden — of deliberately staring past manifesto rather than at it, on the theory that manifesto reveals its true nature only when it does not feel observed.

Salvage Notes: schizo

Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on schizo. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.

The Goblin Adjacency of engine

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features engine 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 manifesto

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