Ah, okkie. And sorry Makie, I didn't mean to be rude or anything. I just thought you'd want to know, since you had used "aloud" in lieu of "allowed" once before. sweatdrop So yeah, sorry, no hard feelings I hope.
Hhmm... and Seyla, if no one else wants to grade yours, I shall now. But in the meantime, I'll start reading it until a statement is made. Either way, I'll be prepared just in case. 3nodding

Oh no, it's okay. My friends always correct my grammar when I talk to them and I use the wrong word. So I'm used to it.
"in lieu' That's french isn't it? "en lieu" or "instead". Ehehe! >.<

Heh, you are quite right Makie. 3nodding Heh, it's nice when we're all so culturally aware, especially when it comes down to words.

Seyla
Length and Pacing: Well, I would have to personally say that you have made one of the longest posts in this tests history. I think about as long as Sakura's, but maybe longer. You paced rather nicely, even despite adding the recollection of Seyla's first move in the beginning. All in all, this was very nice, it wasn't too long-winded or anything, though I figure the memory was just included to sweeten the post. 3nodding Still, this was a very good post, there was progression and I really happened to enjoy that. Heh, it's almost surprising how long this came out, in comparison to most of your other posts normally in Ria. But still, this is an entirely good thing.
Grammar: There was one letter missing when I saw ". . . didn'. . ." at one point. I know that you meant "didn't". There may have been one capitalization error in my opinion, and a few instances in which commas could have been added. Also, you had used "lapel" which usually refers to a coat. Though that could be a specific type of microphone that I am simply unfamiliar with. But really, your grammatical errors were few and minimal, mainly lying with scant commas. Also, I think that you had used "2" instead of "two" at one point. One rule is that for numbers ten and lower, you should write them out in letters. So I think that you did rather well.
Personality: You didn't really lack much here, though there could have been more thought in some places. But you did make up for this with facial expressions and conversation, which is just fine. You maintained your character's personality very well, which was very good in my opinion, so I have no complaints in this category. Though since the icy opponent appeared to be a humanoid, she could have been given, a bit more expression herself. Unless she was simply meant to be mute and emotionless. But you did very well in showing how Seyla grew cold in the rooms, especially in the dome, as it took on an ice-land facade.
Use of environment: You did rather well to describe the room towards the beginning, and the waiting room that came before it. I also found it comical when she was having complications with the door at first. That was a nice touch. Though, when everything began to melt towards the end, you could have added a bit more description. Like, if there were ice caps, you could have shown them melting, toppling onto each other, though the scenery is plainly simulated. But other than that, I thought that you had done rather well here.
Details: You were really descriptive for the most part, which made me really happen. Heh, I think just for you, a thesaurus can come in handy. Though, you could have gone more into the ice maiden's fall, like how she simply became ashes, since you gave me the impression that she had been made from ice. So maybe, a mist instead of ashes, steam, or even a puddle could have been better. And, that's it really, just keep up the good work.
You did very well, and I hope that you are able to improve in any way for future tests.
7/8

I half expected that grade gonk .I have an english problem which is I don't really care that much in school about it.But Taqune is like you said more of thinking aloud than in his head and I relized when I got to work I didn't describe the room or the creature enough.I thank you for your time and I will do better on the next test I promise.I also worte the thing at like midnight lol.No though power left.Also Taqune doesn't feel emotions that much.He's the macho kind that doesn't show that he is hurt unless he is hurt. sweatdrop but thank you and I will do better*Bows and walks away*

Oh, heh, I see. And that's understandable. 3nodding The lack of focus at such a late hour. Hhmm.... is English your first language? Just curious, though your disliking of school could be the only thing. Also, I'm guessing that due to your apathy... you're probably not doing that well in school. Also, my grade doesn't determine everything... I could be a bit off, but I know that I had wanted to give Miki a 7, though Kurai has already rated him.

yup a lapel is a kind of microphone ^.^ also that didn' was probably from when I was correcting the errors from the microsoft thing. As for my post length call me lazy it usually depends who I'm rping with. If I'm with literates, I tend to be literate etc etc. And yes I should've mentioned that her opponent was ment to be somewhat mute and emotionless, kind of like ice in a way. And yes I do need a thesaurus Xx lol like I said I suck at fights but thankyou for the grade Lenair! ^.^

Oh, alright. Well, some things just come with common sense. I mean that, if you were to actually say certain phrases, you'd know when to pause. So, at times you could do it phonetically. Heh, I worked on mine for two days, but I did get my entry in first. But I split it in half, one for the entrance into the arena, and the next for the actual fight. Still, do whatever works for you.
