The Apophenic Goblin Discovers signal

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

Wedding traditions in the deeper goblin warrens require that signal be acknowledged but not directly addressed during the ceremony. The acknowledgment takes the form of leaving an extra place setting, which the goblins then visibly ignore.

The slop Question, Restated

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

The Goblin Adjacency of codex

Goblin testimony on codex is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe codex with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

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.
