I guess the cat's basically out of the bag at this point anyway: Does anyone want lessons on how to shield your mind from telepathic intrusion?

Free for people I like or have to work with regularly. 100 dubloons for everyone else.

Corporate stuff? Or other jobs where you might be working with sensitive information.

(This is ...a lot of questions. Another telepath? Or curious about them for some other reason?)

[hellofishies]

Maybe they should just try wearing a tinfoil hat. That's what my friend Karl does to block it out.

[telepathicignorance]

(Somewhere they're laughing.)

Have you told Karl that's a dumb myth?

[hellofishies]

I think it works for him. But maybe if he shows up here you can tell him! His name is Karl

[telepathicignorance]

That sounds more like he has a power.

(Or like telepaths from this person's world specifically are blocked by tinfoil hats for some reason.)

You also a telepath?

[hellofishies]

Maybe! But I like to think it's the hat.

Maybe I'll make one here and try it out. Does tinfoil exist here?

[telepathicignorance]

Haven't seen any. Could ask someone if they can make some, I guess.

(Not answering. They'll note that as a "probably".)

[hellofishies]

If I make one I'll make one for you too!

[telepathicignorance]

Alright.

(They say because they're not sure how to respond to that.)

[hellofishies]

Don't worry, you'll love it!

[telepathicignorance]

I'll take your word for it.

(They're sure they won't. It will end up stashed away with all the other comfort objects they refuse to let themself enjoy.)

[hellofishies]

Really? Thank you! I promise my word will be great!

[ she will in fact be trying to make one for them. ]

[telepathicignorance]

Isn't the person receiving the item supposed to give thanks?

(And yet, they're a rude asshole, so they'll correct her and then not give any.)

[hellofishies]

Why does that mean I can't say thank you too?

[telepathicignorance]

(Somewhere, they're shrugging.)

Do what you want, I guess.

[hellofishies]

I usually do!

[telepathicignorance]

(They snort. She can't see it, but they're definitely amused.)

Alright then.
