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

A goblin once tried to steal vocaloid. No one knows how the attempt went, because vocaloid was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding vocaloid in a sock drawer ever since. Others say vocaloid escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.
