*taps microphone* Goooooooooood morning, Gaians! This is your principal Surl E. Dean speaking. August is National Back to School Month which means it's time to dress properly for school! That's right! Pull up those pants, and put some clothes on! scream scream Our school PTO wants to encourage appropriate school attire. After all not dressing appropriately for learning can lead to penal code violations and subsequent punishments such as #000-001 congas or #878-989 being eaten by a shark.

Over the summer (while you all were procrastinating at Camp Nimbus when you should have been studying), our PTO held a special fundraiser to buy an assortment of "prizes" for students who adequately follow the school dress code. Your teachers should be handing out a paper with all of the information on the current requirements as we speak! If even ONE of you makes a paper airplane out of our contest rules SO HELP ME, I WILL... scream *ahem*

The theme for this contest is: Back to School. It's time to hit the books and get back into the school routine. Wow us with your creativity!

How to Enter: Simply put together an outfit that reflects the theme and post in this thread before August 14th at 11:59PM PDT. Remember: don't change your avatar until the winners are announced on the evening of August 16th! A team of Gaia Staff members and Surl E. Dean will get together & choose the most appropriately dressed students.

[NPC] Surl E. Dean


Did you know that the title, "dean", used to be a military term to describe a small-scale commander of men?

dean (n.)
early 14c., from Old French deien, from Late Latin decanus "head of a group of 10 monks in a monastery," from earlier secular meaning "commander of 10 soldiers" (which was extended to civil administrators in the late empire), from Greek dekanos, from deka "ten". Replaced Old English teoðingealdor. College sense is from 1570s. (From etymology dictionary).


Could I call you Principal Teoðingealdor, sir?? heart Please??? emotion_kirakira

Post reserved for Kiro! Post in use! Im a confused student that got into the wrong class! XD Transfer day came and well....I got lost sweatdrop
This sounds like fun..

The Dean has some typo's/grammar issues in his rules..
(yes, Aki did indeed read all the rules of the contest)


Update: A fairly basic sort of look, trying to meld Aki-squirrel's style with real-Aki's style while adding a little bit of "maybe a school uniform" to the mix.. (it's been a fair few years since I was in school and we didn't have uniforms or a super strict dress code or anything, so..)
