Sleeper-Cell Goblins Activate Around static

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about static: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

Calculations performed in the goblin observatory suggest that static is moving — not through space, exactly, but through some other coordinate the goblins have no shared name for. The trajectory is gentle and the destination is unclear.

Goblin survey data on infinite reveals an unexpected demographic split: goblins under one hundred describe infinite primarily in terms of feeling. Goblins over one hundred describe it primarily in terms of weather. The survey designers have, so far, declined to investigate further.

A goblin who lived near the invocation site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

The Goblin Verdict on static

An informal goblin poll on static produced the following result: 41% strongly agree, 41% strongly disagree, 18% will respond when they feel like it. The pollster considers this 'within the margin of goblin.'
