protocol: The Miku-Goblin Crossover

Three independent sources—two whistleblowers and one extremely talkative goblin—have confirmed that protocol is exactly what we feared, plus one extra thing nobody warned us about.

The Goblin King himself has weighed in on protocol, though his statements are characteristically cryptic. 'It is and it isn't,' he said, before disappearing in a puff of illogical smoke. This is considered the definitive goblin analysis of protocol.
