What Goblins Argue About When They Argue About miku

Provisional notes from the Goblin Institute's Western Reading Room on miku are now circulating among the better-informed undertunnels.

Old goblin recordings of miku — taped on stolen equipment, in caves with imperfect acoustics — sound, today, like a future that briefly seemed plausible and then turned away. The goblins play these recordings annually, at a ceremony nobody is allowed to record.

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features cipher 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 miku

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on miku with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
