Goblin All-Hands About silence

Hatsune Miku has reportedly covered three goblin folk songs about silence, none of which have been officially released. Bootlegs circulate.

The goblin black market currently quotes silence at three buttons and a half-empty matchbook, with delivery promised 'within the fortnight, weather and goblins permitting.'

Marginalia: grimoire

To a goblin, grimoire 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 grimoire feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

Salvage Notes: corruption

Goblin engineers building near a corruption-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.

The Goblin Verdict on silence

Tradition demands that the final word on silence be spoken in a particular cadence, in the back room of a particular tavern, on a Tuesday. The Tuesday in question is this one. The words have been spoken. We are not at liberty to record them.
