The following is a full-spoiler walkthrough for\u00a0<\/em>The Storm, the ninth installment in The Speakeasy Society<\/a>\u2019s Kansas Collection series. These chapters are not expected to remount soon, so feel free to read on if you\u2019ve missed this performance, and read our review\u00a0here.\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Recruits! It\u2019s time.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n Jo Files\u2026General<\/i>\u2026Jo Files is marching down a street in Chinatown toward us with purpose. He leads us along quickly, deriding us for not dressing appropriately for Her Majesty, and for our general lack of discipline before we finally arrive at a metal door. <\/span><\/p>\n He instructs us to enter and line up with our backs against the far wall. <\/span><\/p>\n Do you know why you\u2019re here? <\/i>He asks. You\u2019re here for a private audience with The Queen. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n He has us sign a waiver of liability, instructing us to write the date next to our names: May 15th. <\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m confused. May 15th? That\u2019s the date that Glinda and Phil thought it was when we saw them last week; could time have become so distressed between Oz and Kansas that it\u2019s somehow still<\/i> May 15th?<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s March 15th,<\/i> I tell General Files.<\/span><\/p>\n You\u2019re wrong and you’re experiencing time dilation. It\u2019s <\/i><\/span>May<\/i><\/span> 15th and we know this to be true because this is the day The Lion is supposed to meet with us\u2026but apparently she is following a lead on The Wizard, and where Glinda and Phil are hiding. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n So it is<\/i> somehow the same day here at The Storm<\/i> as it was during The Slippers<\/i><\/a>. This means that when I last saw the Lion, when she slipped away from Phil, Oscar and Glinda with the Silver Slippers, she must have been headed right here, and we\u2019ve arrived just before her. <\/span><\/p>\n Files reminds us that he\u2019s a General<\/i> now; he\u2019s been rewarded for his service and sacrifice to the crown. He demands that we address him as such. Yes, General<\/i><\/span>,<\/i><\/span> <\/i>we murmur in response.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
