Hallucinating signal: A Goblin Case Study
Hatsune Miku has reportedly covered three goblin folk songs about signal, none of which have been officially released. Bootlegs circulate.
In the goblin taxonomy of reality, signal occupies a category all its own: 'That Which Is Not A Trick But Also Not Not A Trick.' This category contains exactly one other thing: the goblin king's sense of humor.
Footnotes Concerning digital
Goblin children, when introduced to digital, 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 frequency Manifestation
Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on frequency. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.
The Goblin Verdict on signal
Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record signal as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
