For Round 3 (storytime)!

For this round we were supposed to use a prompt from the list depending on the character's birthday (in Kevin's case it's April the 20th) and create a story based on that prompt. So... here goes! I wanted to write a Dickensian novel but I ran out of time!

Kevin always wanted to join his school am dram club but he never did it until his last year at school. The reason for that was that he was afraid he wouldn't be good enough, and that he'd never get good parts, and that he'd have to learn loads of lines and that would be too much work. Except when the club decided to put on The Lion King Kevin had to bite the bullet (and he knew all the words already anyway). His dad even made him a lion mane necklace (of sorts) for the audition (well, I'm saying "made", Kevin's dad actually tweaked an old costume that was probably supposed to be a flower) and Kevin got in and got Simba's part! Though later it turned out that everyone who signed up got a part and there was a different student playing each main character in every scene to keep it fair and square. And you didn't have to learn the lines that well. Or be that good at it. But hey, still fun, right?

And that's how Kevin ended up joining a club while wearing a colourful necklace.

This was my favourite round so far, but to be honest it was also the most challenging - with the previous rounds I had the benefit of them being clearly AU so I only had to make sure they make sense for the characters, but not figure out how they would fit into the overall story. But with this round I had the benefit of worldbuilding and possibly new characters ("possibly"... who am I kidding, they always stick around) and trying to work the prompts into the setting!

And now I can sit back and enjoy the ride! Well, not really, I have comics to draw but it is nice to be done with some time until the deadline.
