The Goblin That Whispers transmission
The veil between worlds is thin in places where goblins gather. transmission is one of those places.
When you stare at transmission long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of transmission developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'
Three Goblins Discuss fractal
A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the fractal-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.'
