That's not how it works.

My logic was faulty but, really, I can only admit I'm embarrassed with myself except I did literally the best I could. If you knew how I got along with people in real life since this all started it hasn't been much better. I have no social media presence, I don't have friends, I'm ostracized from all but my immediate family. So don't think it's just you. I'm glad you think I'm right about at least some things though.

And how have you changed?

Vampiric as in being drained? I am almost always running on empty and your replacement couldn't keep up once the cat got out of the bag and it became a free for all. I am worried not about energetic attachments but what's happening with people right in front of my eyes. No one wants to attract vampires but a vampire is made just knowing how to get to me. If you understand that.

As far as hive, not really. Since I am doing something new, the hive element is nondescript within that space so far. But that space only has me and a handful of hangers-on so there is no negative hive aspect yet bc no negative types have gotten though. Some unhinged, but not ill meaning. This is even slightly new to some of them, they barely know how to navigate the space around me let alone operate as a hive. When I do get someone who shouldn't be there someone will usually attack them and they're gone. It's a new but continuously developing dynamic. So basically the space we had shared is now sparsely occupied at all times by a number of regulars and lots of random guests.
