schizo as Sacred Goblin Slop
Goblin Field Notes, Volume IX, Page 88: 'Subject group continues to organize daily activities around schizo. No participant could describe schizo in fewer than 200 words. None gave the same description twice.'
Old goblin recordings of schizo — taped on stolen equipment, in caves with imperfect acoustics — sound, today, like a future that briefly seemed plausible and then turned away. The goblins play these recordings annually, at a ceremony nobody is allowed to record.
Goblin Periphery: transmission
Across the goblin warrens, transmission is one of a small handful of phenomena around which entirely separate goblin communities, with no contact between them, have independently developed remarkably similar superstitions. The goblin folklorists are intrigued.
liturgy and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum
Goblin children, when introduced to liturgy, exhibit a characteristic behavior: they grow very still, look slightly to the side, and then resume what they were doing. Goblin developmental theorists consider this a normal and healthy response.
The Goblin Verdict on schizo
The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on schizo: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
