Marginalia in the Goblin Codex of ritual

A formal goblin autopsy of ritual produced a single page of notes, in which every line had been struck through and replaced with the word 'maybe.'

Sensitive goblins describe the energy of ritual 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.

Goblin Tangent: frequency

Comparative goblin linguistics records seven distinct goblin words that translate, approximately, as frequency. Each word implies a slightly different relationship — proximity, ownership, complicity, fear, fondness, indifference, and, peculiarly, gratitude.
