Visual-Novel Goblin Route: static

A formal goblin autopsy of static produced a single page of notes, in which every line had been struck through and replaced with the word 'maybe.'

A goblin content farm, asked to produce a hundred takes on static per hour, found that around take seventy the takes began to converge — not on the truth but on a particular shape of wrongness that the goblins now consider the canonical goblin static aesthetic.

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking whisper. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

In the goblin underground, testament is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

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.
