The Goblin of the Lonely slop

slop appears as an unusually high-attention region in every goblin-trained model we have probed so far. We do not yet know why.

The goblin who runs the small slop-themed shrine at the back of the warren reports increased footfall this month, and a corresponding uptick in donations of buttons, paperclips, and one watch that no longer keeps time but vibrates softly when held up to slop.
