I read this while I was walking, so I don't have quotes to pull, but I'll try to gather my thoughts into something coherent (hard to do after that second half, honestly. Damn!)

Waking up to that situation would definitely induce panic in anyone. The slow realization of their situation sinking in. Yeah. What a mind-fuck. Then Haley trying not to look at Scott and repeatedly doing it anyway and then berating herself for it. I know there were at least a couple of times that I chuckled to myself. And the whole "eyes up here" from both of them was perfect.

Those goblin creatures remind of me of Raistlin's "live ones" - his failed attempts at creating life - only less horrific while being even more frightening/intimidating.

Scott calmly pointing out the obvious. And then stepping in front of her to protect her. I do have to give him props for valiantly holding out for as long as he did once they entered the cube.

Sinister standing outside watching them like the psycho perv he apparently is. And then mentioning their spouses? Ugh. What a jerk. That button he kept pressing - some sort of pheromone based aphrodisiac along the lines of what Rose used I assume? It would make sense. Then again, there's no telling with him....

And now we know why Scott is such a raging asshole all the time! Constantly repressing a part of yourself will do that to a person. At least he acknowledged to himself that Haley's team hates his guts. ;)

As for the rest, I think you melted my brain. Hot damn!

Well done, bb! Hopefully I can get to the next chapter today too. Can't wait to see what's in store for everyone else!
