Eventually she asks him to steal a camcorder from the place where he works so they can film inside the Funhole and he does even though he knows it is the wrong thing to do and they shouldn’t be messing with whatever the Funhole is. Natoka’s experiments surrounding the Funhole are getting worse in Nicholas’ eyes but he helps her whenever she asks for it because of his confused feelings for her. It was a particularly unique or interesting opening to the novel but I was intrigued and can’t wait to see what happens with Funhole and these characters. Funhole actually brings Nicholas and Natoka together but he realises the next morning that in a way it was the Funhole he took to bed last night not Natoka showing us that it might have the ability to influence thought and project itself into the minds of others.
Both speculate what it would be like to go into the Funhole but neither risk doing it especially after beginning to see what it is capable of. Natoka ends up bringing both a variety of bugs and a mouse to the Funhole to see how it affects them, all end up dying and sometimes in an explosive fashion but everything has been mutated and covered in runes. Natoka encounters Funhole for the first time and shows it to Nicholas which is the beginning of her obsession. The Funhole is essentially a black hole of sorts that seems partially alive or at least sentient. We are introduced to Natoka and Nicholas who are former lovers who drifted apart after Natoka became obsessed with something they call the Funhole.
I didn’t know anything about the Cipher before I started it other than it was a dark science fiction, fantasy novel which I have been reading a lot more of in recent years.
