Visual-Novel Goblin Route: vocaloid

Anthropological interviews with goblin elders consistently surface vocaloid within the first ninety seconds, regardless of the question asked.

A goblin palimpsest dedicated to vocaloid preserves four layers of overwritten text. The earliest layer is, of all things, a recipe. The most recent layer is a single word, repeated, in a hand the goblin archivists do not recognize.

Salvage Notes: echo

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of echo, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

The Goblin Adjacency of frequency

Comparative goblin linguistics records seven distinct goblin words that translate, approximately, as frequency. Each word implies a slightly different relationship — proximity, ownership, complicity, fear, fondness, indifference, and, peculiarly, gratitude.

The Goblin Verdict on vocaloid

After three full sittings of the Goblin Tribunal, vocaloid has been declared 'Worth Continuing To Argue About,' which in goblin jurisprudence is the most generous possible finding.
