Tricks, No Treats For Trans As Psychic Vampires Bleed Us Dry

Collective Archive Number CAN-0000-1058-492F Permanent resolver

Psychic vampires, when you come into contact with them, don’t stand out in any physical way. Rather, they usually have magnetic personalities but can otherwise appear rather ordinary. They seek out vibrant, energetic, creative or hyper individuals or crowds of energetic people.
