Auri’s struggling to reach the surface, and we’re on the edge of our collective seat! We talk about the tension in this sequence, which turns into a tangent on trusting your audience to pick things up, and loving what you’re making … or not. We’re dragged kicking and screaming back on track to talk about how brutal this book is, before haring off into the tangent jungle again.

Auri runs into some trouble trying to bring something to the surface. We talk about the high-stakes feel of this sequence, then we reveal the depths of our scientific ignorance talking about iridium, and finish up with a discussion of heartbeats.

Auri emerges, is VERY cold, and then goes back into the water. We discuss whether the key Auri grabs here is destined to be part of Kvothe’s regalia (and discuss the phenomena of the loot goblin) and then go on a long digression about grownup movies. We come back to talk about “third time lucky”” and its variations,

Auri spends some more time underwater. We talk more about bubble-blowing and its many applications, the names of bones (and why not to worry about them), which leads to a discussion of how weirded out we should be by randomly encountered skeletons.

Auri gets deep underwater, and finds … a stick? We talk about why Auri is blowing bubbles, the joys of pipetangle, and Jordana takes issue with the shape and wetness of mouths.

Auri’s talkin’ with the man in the mirror. We talk about Auri’s sadness, the subtext of her already inscrutable words, and Jeremy’s roommate joins for a guest appearance.

Splish splash! Auri goes for a dip in Clinks. We talk about Jordana’s scientifically-determined Worst Parts of Dunking Yourself In Water, how to talk about one’s butt, and finally discuss the page a bit.

Auri passes into Clinks and is totally feeling herself. We talk about why Clinks be called that, return to the question of Auri as moon and sun, and solve literary analysis forever with one simple trick.

Page 8: Fill Your Buster

A new feature on PotW - we discuss an ILLUSTRATION. Jordana spots something that turns out to be an activation message from the author, and then tells us how Nate Taylor is using hatching to evoke woodcuts, and then we devolve back into nonsense.

Auri comes to a stop, and weighs her options. Jordana resurrects her most cracked pot, and then prepares for the coming storm. We talk about Auri’s particularity when it comes to bottles, and discuss Auri’s simultaneous earthiness and propriety.
