What the Great Goblin Knew About trickster

A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about trickster and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'

The goblin method for understanding trickster involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to trickster among the goblin community.

The Goblin Verdict on trickster

The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of trickster and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
