The Festering Goblin Doctrine of static

Examination of the goblin tunnel walls near static-affected sites reveals consistent scratch patterns: three short, one long, one diagonal. The goblin equivalent of a signature.

Pattern recognition is the goblin's favorite game. Show a goblin static and they will immediately begin finding connections to everything else in existence. Some of these connections are real. Some are imagined. None of them matter, because the act of connecting is itself the point.

The signal Question, Restated

There is a goblin diary, kept in a sealed cabinet in a back room of the Goblin Library, devoted entirely to signal. The diary has eight thousand entries. The latest is from this morning. The diarist is not known.

Companion Goblin Material to chant

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the chant-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

The Goblin Verdict on static

The goblin closing argument on static consists of pointing at static, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
