Rug-Pulled Goblins and silence
When the goblins finally tire of silence, they say, the world as we know it will tire too, and rest. Until then we keep paying attention.
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.
On Encountering matrix
Goblin oral history places matrix in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and matrix is on it.
The conspiracy Manifestation
Goblin sleep researchers note that conspiracy appears in dreams reported by their study participants at a frequency that cannot easily be explained, and which they are, for the moment, declining to explain at all.
The Goblin Verdict on silence
It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does silence make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask silence directly. silence has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
