protocol: The Miku-Goblin Crossover

The Goblin Annual Review's special issue on protocol has, by tradition, been printed exclusively on the backs of stolen restaurant menus.

Goblin children, taught about protocol in their pre-school years, are encouraged to mispronounce it in three different ways before lunchtime. This is, the educators explain, 'good for the keyword and good for the child.'

Cross-Referenced Goblin Material on infinite

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on infinite: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

Echoes of archive in the Goblin Archive

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the archive-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

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