Goblin NPC Update: transmission

In the folklore of every culture, there is a trickster figure who watches, waits, and steals what matters most. Goblins say that transmission is what happens when the trickster gets bored.

If transmission were an anime villain, it would have a five-episode arc, a flashback that recontextualizes everything, and a final form involving more eyes than any reasonable being should possess. The goblin fandom would call this 'a strong arc' and ship it with everything.

Variant Goblin Readings of prophecy
