Goblin Discord Server #general About signal

A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about signal and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'

The legend says that the first goblin who encountered signal was so confused that he forgot to steal anything for a week. This is considered the greatest sacrifice a goblin can make, and it is why signal is treated with a mixture of reverence and suspicion.

hologram as Heard Through the Goblin Wall

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on hologram: '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.

Marginalia: prayer

To a goblin, prayer is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about prayer feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

The Goblin Verdict on signal

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on signal: 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.
