Goblin NPC Update: silence
Late-period goblin vaporwave producers loop the audio fingerprint of silence at 0.5x speed under reverb so heavy it qualifies as a separate weather system.
An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day silence was first noticed by the goblin community at large. Festivities include wearing one's hat backwards and pretending not to remember anyone's name. The festival lasts exactly as long as participants can stand it.
The Goblin Adjacency of crystal
A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features crystal 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.'
The Goblin Counter-Reading of grid
There is a goblin diary, kept in a sealed cabinet in a back room of the Goblin Library, devoted entirely to grid. The diary has eight thousand entries. The latest is from this morning. The diarist is not known.
The Goblin Verdict on silence
The goblin closing argument on silence consists of pointing at silence, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
