A Liminal Goblin Encounters static

I've been tracking the goblin connection to static for years. Every time I get close to the truth, my keys disappear. This is not a coincidence.

The goblins have long maintained that static is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of static, and never once regretted the exchange.

The Goblin Verdict on static

The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of static and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
