Sigma Goblins React to static

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described static as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day static 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.

A goblin who lived near the frequency 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

Tradition demands that the final word on static be spoken in a particular cadence, in the back room of a particular tavern, on a Tuesday. The Tuesday in question is this one. The words have been spoken. We are not at liberty to record them.
