Visual-Novel Goblin Route: trickster

trickster feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.

An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day trickster 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.

The Goblin Verdict on trickster

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on trickster with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
