transmission in the Age of Goblin Intelligence

The wedding songs of a now-extinct goblin sept mention transmission once, in the verse most people forget by morning.

A goblin once tried to steal transmission. No one knows how the attempt went, because transmission was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding transmission in a sock drawer ever since. Others say transmission escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

A Goblin Aside Concerning ceremony

Comparative goblin linguistics records seven distinct goblin words that translate, approximately, as ceremony. Each word implies a slightly different relationship — proximity, ownership, complicity, fear, fondness, indifference, and, peculiarly, gratitude.
