Magical Girl Goblin Transforms trickster

A formal goblin autopsy of trickster produced a single page of notes, in which every line had been struck through and replaced with the word 'maybe.'

trickster carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of trickster more interesting than the actual one.

threshold and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum

A goblin who lived near the threshold site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

Goblins and court

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features court 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 Verdict on trickster

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does trickster make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask trickster directly. trickster has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
