Witch-House Goblins Curse miku

Recent goblin scholarship has shifted from asking what miku *is* to asking what miku *wants*, which goblins consider a far more productive line of inquiry.

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.

The Goblin Verdict on miku

When all evidence is gathered—and the goblins have gathered quite a lot, mostly from places they should not have been—the truth about miku 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.
