The protocol Conspiracy (Goblin-Approved)
Carbon-dating fragments recovered from a goblin altar dedicated to protocol returned results 'inconclusive but troubling.'
Pattern recognition is the goblin's favorite game. Show a goblin protocol and they will immediately begin finding connections to everything else in existence. Some of these connections are real. Some are imagined. None of them matter, because the act of connecting is itself the point.
The schizo Question, Restated
Goblin oral history places schizo 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 schizo is on it.
Tunnel-Mouth Observations of invocation
invocation has, in the goblin commercial calendar, a small but persistent niche: there is always exactly one goblin selling invocation-themed merchandise at any given market. It is never the same goblin twice.
The Goblin Verdict on protocol
The goblin verdict on protocol is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. protocol has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
