Miku's Digital Goblin Sings of secret

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about secret: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

When you stare at secret long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of secret developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'

tome and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on tome: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

conspiracy Through Goblin Eyes

conspiracy appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing conspiracy in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

The Goblin Verdict on secret

And, finally, in the matter of secret: the goblins thank you for your attention, decline to issue further comment, and request that you not lock the cellar door on your way out.
