The Goblin Conspiracy Behind miku

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about miku: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

The legend says that the first goblin who encountered miku was so confused that he forgot to steal anything for a week. This is considered the greatest sacrifice a goblin can make, and it is why miku is treated with a mixture of reverence and suspicion.

secret: A Goblin Sideways Look

Goblin oral history places secret in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and secret is on it.

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about frequency. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does miku make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask miku directly. miku has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
