[PI] “Soooo… how often did you say you read people's minds?” “Oh, all the time! I mean- how else am I supposed to know what everyone thinks about me?”
In a room full of people, Jorji sniffed, turning his head back and forth to get rid of the pressure behind his eyes. It was not a natural headache by any means, but one caused by mind control. Caused by such a subtle mind control most wouldn't even notice—even those who had trained and gotten masteries in mind defense.
By technicality, it was just *mind reading* and not actually control, but the feeling for Jorji was the absolute same, just with different pain levels.
Some beings were very blunt in trying to take control, rending the minds of those they wished to read.
The pain hadn't gone away.
He sniffed again in an attempt to recognize the mind reader. No, sniffing didn't work, but it made him feel better about his detection skills.
No clue.
Still, the pain came, so subtle and constant.
Finally, Jorji surrendered, publicly shouting “Who's reading my mind?”
The room quieted down as all denied being the ones invading Jorji's privacy, though several felt their bodies with their hands—a physical representation of them checking their own minds.
“He's right,” someone shouted, “There's a mind reader in the room.”
The rest of the crowd then tried to figure out who it was, but all failed due to not being as skilled at mental compromise detection as Jorji was. They all couldn't tell they were being mind-read until Jorji said something, after all.
One young man, however, did not join the crowds searching for the mind reader. He shifted on his feet like the others, staring in people's faces, looking for something like the others looked for that expression made by bad mind readers.
Eventually, the group gave up and went their separate ways, leaving Jorji and that young man the last ones standing within the room.
The pressure was still there. Either someone who left was at fault, in which Jorji would have a powerful mind reader on his hands, or it was the man in front of him who was at fault.
“Do you know who's mind reading?” Jorji asked as a formality. After all, who would admit to such a violation of privacy? Who would admit to a crime, which if done at a massive scale, or just enough times, counted as a war crime? Who would admit to being *that one?*
The young man reluctantly nodded. “I didn't want to say anything because they were judging me so harshly.”
“That's what you're concerned about?” Jorji said aloud. It made him feel better if the young man didn't tear the questions straight from his brain.
The man made another reluctant nod. “Please don't call the authorities, I wasn't doing anything malicious.”
“Besides mind reading.”
“I mean, I had to in order to know what others are thinking. I swear that's all I've been doing.”
Jorji stared, not believing what was just said.
“You gotta believe me though.”
He pursed his lips.
“Oh, come on, I didn't know it was such a problem. I mean, it's just something I've been doing since childhood.”
Jorji's mouth dropped open. “You didn't see that mind reading was illegal?”
“Hey, it's not like people are thinking about committing war crimes every five minutes. I mean, the only time I've read about someone thinking about mind-reading was with you.”
“Well, respectfully, I want you to stop.” Jorji turned his thoughts to returning home and making dinner.
“Fine.”
The pressure went away.
Jorji walked calmly out of the room. Once he got far enough, he called for the authorities, *”Yes, someone who's been doing subtle mass mind-reading since childhood has been found.”*
…
*”Yes, I'd like to make this an anonymous report.”*
…
*”Yes, I am aware of what I'm reporting.”*
…
*”Yes, thank you.”*
Would that young man get arrested and possibly tried for war crimes? Yes. Did Jorji care? No. Unrepentant mind readers got what they deserved.

PI You’ve laughed and said “It would probably take a Girl smacking me with a poster saying ‘I like You’ for me to get the hint.” The next day, your best friend walks up to you and hits you on the head with a poster board that says ‘I like you’
Original Prompt Here
The broken cardboard sign lay to the side, the message still clearly visible.
I LIKE YOU in big, bold print stares up at me.
There's a slight pain in my head from the force Winnie used to hit me over the head, but it was drowned by the combination of the buzzing in my ears and drumbeat of my heart that wouldn't quiet when I read those words.
Winnie's messing with me. She's gotta be, nothing else makes sense.
…Though she did enact the fool-proof confession strategy for morons and dimwits.
For a moment, I snap out of my head to look at Winnie. In the sunlight of the park, her amber skin's golden undertones seem to glow, making her look like a goddess of summer. Her bright pink curls brush her shoulders and my fingers itch to touch them. Standing in front of me, in a soft blue cotton sundress that hugged her curves in a way I hadn’t taken note of before this moment.
Oh, but my parents already expect me to marry Jake, and I can’t be a college dropout and a romantic disappointment.
I open my mouth to say it can’t happen but the words die on my tongue when I look at her smiling at me with those soft hazel eyes of hers.
Ok, I’ll just ask what she means. Nothing ever went wrong with asking, did it? Just gotta open my mouth and say it… Any second now…
The words won’t come out, not even a peep. All I can think about is the pimple constellation on my forehead, the uneven dips in my hips clearly visible from my jeans, and my ratty AC/DC T-shirt. My pale skin with blue undertones that makes me look closer to the walking dead than anything most days.
The air between us is heavy, neither of us speaking for a moment. Until in another movie that sent my mind spiralling, Winnie suddenly wraps me by the collar of my shirt.
Pulling me close she whispers, teasingly “Should have known you’d start overthinking the obvious, Penny.”
My face flushing at her closeness, “I just like to be careful. We’ve been friends so long and I don’t want to ru—”
Winnie presses her lips to mine, and all words cease to exist.
All that exists is her. Her cherry lips balm, her hands on my skin, her body pressing so close to mine.
I kiss her back, I don’t know if I'm doing it right, or if there is a right way to do it. I move my lips over hers, letting my hands wander to her waist, face, hair and anything I could touch. A fire had ignited, somewhere deep, and I didn’t know how to extinguish it and with her so close I had no desire to find out.
It’s Winnie who pulls away first, even though I’m the only one struggling to catch their breath.
I feel cold with the sudden loss of her closeness, but she still looks as pleased with herself as ever.
“So… sure I like you, yet?” She teases, bouncing on her heels, “If so, I'd be more than happy to give you another demonstration of affection if needed.”
I touch my lips, still partially in shock they had just been on hers, “Uh, I-I-I think that we should be very sure of feelings, but perhaps we do so in a more private location? Like our apartment?”
Winnie winks at me, looping her arm through mine, “Excellent idea, we can stop leave a message for Jake and your parents, since we’re in such a bold mood.”
I sigh but don’t disagree, utterly lost in her and for once, perfectly content to be so.
