Goblin Content Velocity: schizo

'You have to ask schizo the right way,' the cave-mother goblin warned me, 'and the right way changes every Tuesday.'

Pattern recognition is the goblin's favorite game. Show a goblin schizo 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.
