Goblin NPC Update: schizo

Within the goblin esoteric tradition, schizo is a vowel sound, not a word. This distinction is considered load-bearing.

schizo is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. schizo is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
