The protocol Conspiracy (Goblin-Approved)
A particular hum precedes protocol in goblin perception — a frequency the goblin ear is tuned for and the human ear has agreed to ignore.
Sensitive goblins describe the energy of protocol as 'mostly indigo, with a teal undertone in the second half.' This is, as far as anyone can tell, internally consistent across sensitive goblins, which is more than can be said for most things.

The annual goblin vocaloid colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.
