"So, where are you willing to initiate?"
Blue smoke wrapped up around the table.
" I don't know", she answered, hesitant.
He tapped his index on table flat surface, to indicate impatience, then proceeded to indicate the first word on the board.
" We should start by examining the evidence this recipient is."
" Isn't it just a cup, tough?"
He stopped for several seconds and began to think.
" I suppose it is true, but that isn't a matter of form. Take me for example, I cannot exist here without something to feed on. In that sense, the body I'm using right now can be referred to as a "recipient"."
" So, basically, what you're telling me is that you're referring to the content of the cup?"
He snapped his fingers.
" Exactly."
" What of it? How is that supposed to help me in this unnecessary game?"
As she uttered those words, the sound of droplets of rain could be heard outside or could it have been sunny.
" Trust me, It is not unnecessary. If I hadn't started this game and you stayed in a worried state, I wouldn't have to make any effort, for you see, I feed on fear and uniseaness."
Something clicked in Rae's mind. She couldn't believe it was something so simple that made this being occupy this "recipient". However, she could not accept a simple fact.
" Something doesn't add up. A recipient is empty by design. People are different, they cannot be empty, whether it'll be from a material or immaterial point of mind. "
The creature smiled, amused by the spectacle.
" True, but I am not really human. Only the " recipient" is. However, it seems you have a vague idea of the basis of how my hivemind works."
" You exposed it yourself when I asked the point of this game. You feed on feelings that harbour negative emotions. As you said yourself, fear and uniseaness."
He seemed angry that she came to understand how he got into that body.
" More over, it is not simply a matter of invading one's mind. You cannot coexist at the same time than the host.
If you could, we wouldn't even have this discussion and this game."
" Why is that, if I may ask? I mean, wouldn't it be a better fit to possess someone else to install fear and hopelessness upon someone?"
The point he made was too good, she couldn't refute it. In a single sentence, he shattered the hope she gathered.
As he prepared to laugh in the face of the despair he hoped to see on the face of his victim, the only thing he encountered was a proud smile.
" You really think it'll be over with that pathetic answer."
The victorious smile she harboured frightened the "beast". She stood firm and announced:
" The cruelest of act you could do would be to murder him, right now, right here, in front of my eyes. At least, if you were really searching for a hopeless situation!"
She slammed the surface of the table. The cup, sitting atop the object, filled up with a liquid.
He clicked his mouth.
" What of it? You may be right but my point still stand."
The rain intensified.
To the surprise of the azure eyed individual, she grabbed his collar and pointed at him.
" I actually think I won that one."
" Oh, really? "
She continued, ignoring his interjection.
" Anyway, concerning this weird recipient talk, it is rather simple actually. It's only referring to ones like and dislikes, as you pointed yourself that you feed on feelings. Liking something can be akin to self satisfaction. You see a detail you appreciate in that something or it appease you in a certain manner. So, in an attempt to quench for personal benefaction, you "consume" it. "
" Where are you going with this?"
" Even tough you used the plainest of method to possess people, you don't get it."
She grabbed the cup in front of him and started pouring the hot water from the kettle.
As she expertly placed the content of the cofee bag in it, an unexpected outcome happened.
With excitement, he prepared to tell her a line that would have been familiar for him, as she hadn't interrupted him.
" I think I'm starting to get it. So, go ahead and drink it please."
Surprisingly, the borders seemed normal that time.
She crossed her legs as if to replicate the previous mockery she faced moment before.
The beast was now the prey, as she uttered the fatal words that pierced trough his defense.
" Tell me, why won't you drink it?"
