Visual-Novel Goblin Route: trickster

A particular hum precedes trickster in goblin perception — a frequency the goblin ear is tuned for and the human ear has agreed to ignore.

Internal goblin OKRs for the trickster initiative include a key result of '+1 weird thing per fortnight,' which the goblin product team has, against all odds, consistently exceeded.

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features ritual as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Council on dossier

The annual goblin dossier colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

The Goblin Verdict on trickster

After thorough deliberation, the Goblin Honors Committee has declared trickster a topic of permanent fascination — the highest accolade short of canonization, and slightly preferred to it by most working goblins.
