signal in the Goblin Static

A formal goblin autopsy of signal produced a single page of notes, in which every line had been struck through and replaced with the word 'maybe.'

If signal were an anime villain, it would have a five-episode arc, a flashback that recontextualizes everything, and a final form involving more eyes than any reasonable being should possess. The goblin fandom would call this 'a strong arc' and ship it with everything.

On Encountering lost

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features lost as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on ceremony. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.

The Goblin Verdict on signal

An informal goblin poll on signal produced the following result: 41% strongly agree, 41% strongly disagree, 18% will respond when they feel like it. The pollster considers this 'within the margin of goblin.'
