A Day in the (very interesting) Life of...Angel!
I'm back and ready for action! Today, I, Evangeline Vera, brings to you yet another exiting Day in the Life segment! Yay! Let us peek into the life of another SERA00 member. This first generation A rank comes from all places. She's hard-working, inspiring, and is in the media members as well as the fabulous four. This girl manages an amazing load as she takes on the responsibility of leading the entire group. Yes, the member we are tailing today is...Annelise Gillian. Angel is the captain of Team Angel, Rank Four.
(p.s. super exiting near the end also featuring meeee)
6:00 AM
Yes. I can get up early when I want to. I am staked out of Angel's auntie's large Victorian style house. If I thought their house was big, their "backyard" is acres! They have a forest behind their house. How cool is that?
7:00 AM
Still waiting.
8:00 AM
...I woke up early for nothing -__-
9:00 AM
You know, I could have gone to eat breakfast and come back in time. Maybe I should. But then I wouldn't know if they moved while I was away.
9:45 AM
FINALLY! Angel appears by the cherry tree her grandmother planted in 1942. Don't ask me how I know that. Angel is wearing a tank top, maxi skirt, and flowy gray cardigan. Luraland is wearing a flower-print dress. On the other hand, I am bundled up under a fat coat and uncomplementing scarf and hat.
10:00 AM
They arrive at the same beauty salon that Harley went to. The place is a regular for SERA00 members and the staff know them well. The two are ushered to the back and the stylists get to work.
Stylist: Good morning, Angel and Luraland. What can we do for you today?
Angel: Wash, cut, dye. I want a brown two shades lighter that's more on the golden side... And for Luraland, the same. She wants her hair dyed the same colour as her natural hair, but all blond. She doesn't want the browns in her hair. And she'd like the front part of her hair, so the bangs but a little more, dyed a peach-pink. She wants it to naturally fade into the rest of her hair.
Stylist: Alright, understood.
10:15 AM
So, even though they probably just ate breakfast and left the house, the two promptly fall asleep. I mean, do all the A ranks do this thing where they power nap whenever they have a minute?
11:45 AM
The stylists pronounce their hair finished. Luraland studies herself on the mirror and quickly scribbles "<3 data-blogger-escaped-and="" data-blogger-escaped-angel="" data-blogger-escaped-as="" data-blogger-escaped-br="" data-blogger-escaped-for="" data-blogger-escaped-head="" data-blogger-escaped-her="" data-blogger-escaped-location.="" data-blogger-escaped-next="" data-blogger-escaped-on="" data-blogger-escaped-satisfied="" data-blogger-escaped-seems="" data-blogger-escaped-staff="" data-blogger-escaped-tablet.="" data-blogger-escaped-thank="" data-blogger-escaped-the="" data-blogger-escaped-their="" data-blogger-escaped-they="" data-blogger-escaped-thx="" data-blogger-escaped-well.="">
11:50 AM
I have ALWAYS wanted to do this. When it turned out that Angel had a car and was driving, I got a once in a lifetime chance to hail the convenient taxi Miss Avery had authorized, and yell "FOLLOW THAT CAR!" :D
12:00 PM
Angel pulls up at the library. Luraland steps out and I can hear Angel saying, "Got your tablet, Luraland?" She nods and disappears into the library. Angel gets ready to drive away. I'm tempted to see what the rank 8 girl is up to, but she's not my priority.
12:30 PM
Angel arrives at a private sports club with an exclusive Asian cuisine reserved for members. The waitress easily recognizes the SERA00 leader and shows her to her table right away. So...let us eavesdrop on Angel's lunch!
12:35 PM
"Eh? Everyone's here already?" Angel sits down on the empty chair. "Sorry, I had to drive Luraland to her volunteering thing."
"It's okay but we ordered already," Sassan said.
It seems as if this is a lunch between the remaining first generation girls. Sitting around the table are Angel, Sassan, Luna, River, Rosie, and Geneviève.
"River, when are they releasing the titles of the solos?" Rosie nudges River.
"I don't know...sometime before Haven Hall though," River replies.
Luna turns sideways in her chair and flops across Geneviève's lap. "Ahhh so hungry...we should just eat until the event tonight and eat dinner too before we sing."
"I can't," Sassan complains. "I have a radio interview later today, right before the event."
"That's what you get for being center," Geneviève jokes. "How do you stay up there anyways?"
"Miss Avery's random pencil!" River and Rosie exclaim in unison. They all break into laughter at once. It must have been some inside joke.
"Angel..." Luna says, staring up from her laid down position. "Are we gonna get to sing Genesis at Haven Hall?"
That I know. Genesis is a song performed only by the first generation, linking them back to the very day SERA00 was formed. They were there from the start, and as the first years graduate and dwindle away, the cast for Genesis grows smaller. One day, Genesis will be extinct from SERA00's repertoire.
"Yeah, we'll get to sing it," Angel tells Luna.
"And that's why it's good to have the leader in your circle," Luna philosophizes.
"EHHH!" Sassan almost spills the tea she's holding. "Aaaangel I almost forgot to tell you!"
"What?" Angel looks thoroughly alarmed.
"A new specialty tea house just opened not far away!"
"YES!" Angel jumps out of her seat and comically pumps her fist in the air. "Let's go after lunch. Everyone is free right?"
2:24 PM
They enter the tea house. I can literally see their eyes sparkling. Angel, as expected, is the first to burst. "WOOOOOW!" \(O_O)/ That's Angel right there. Ten seconds later turns to (/^_^)/ *gimmegimme* Sassan and Fracken crouch side by side with their faces pressed to the glass as if they could just eat the pretty macaroons and cupcakes behind. Luna and River go and order six cups of their Specialty blend. I take a peek at the chalkboard menu and you know what? It's good that they are high-paid A ranks. Rosie is marveling over the various handcrafted teapots and of course Angel is already at the counter taking whiffs of tea leaves.
3:00 PM
They have just finished a cup of tea and cupcake each. This is like, a legit tea party thing. Only the A ranks can pull that off... *jealousy* Now they're buying tea leaves and getting ready to leave.
"Hmm, we can get this for Reece?" Angel says. "She always has trouble sleeping." The shopkeeper confirms that it is a good tea for bedtime. Even on her free time Angel is thinking about her girls.
Fracken peers at the label of another large airtight can. "We can get this one for Luraland..." As a big family, they all know each others' concerns.
"Oh-" Angel's eyes widen. "Speaking of Luraland, I have to go pick her up." She takes a glance at her phone and groans. "I got two meetings coming up one after the other."
"I'll go pick her up," Luna volunteers.
"And I'll take care of the tea here," says Sassan. "Go to your meetings."
"Thanks so much guys!" Angel says sheepishly. "Bye!"
And we leave that scene with Sassan, River, and Fracken debating whether Rosie should purchase the Japanese tea set.
3:11 PM
It seems as if Angel's first meeting is an staff meeting back at the Complex. Among the staff is the SERA00 producer Miss Avery and the Complex manager Ms. Tallan.
"Miss Avery," Angel says and opens a briefcase. She takes out a humoungous stack of poster of various members all hastily autographed, always adorned with a heart or star.
"Thank you, Angel."
"The set list for Haven Hall has been finalized," Ms. Tallan says. "Someone post it on the site."
They ramble on about stuff that is too boring-I don't think you need to know about it.
"The Haven Hall concert videographers are pressing for information," a man says.
"For the interviews?" Miss Avery asks.
"Yes, and the narrator of the recording. They want to know whether they need to hire."
"Angel, can you handle the interviews, some of the media members might want that," Miss Avery shuffles through some papers that appear to be members' schedules. "Let's see if we can't have Sassan do the narrating?"
Ms. Tallan shakes her head as she leafs through her own set of papers. "Mihashi's schedule is solid for the next month after the concert."
"Angel, do you want it?"
Ms. Tallan grimaces. "All the media members are fully booked after Haven Hall when the spring promos go up a notch."
Miss Avery came to a desicion. "Alright. Put it towards the push project."
Don't ask me. I have no idea what the push project is.
"Last thing before we end," a woman speaks up and pushes several photos across the table. "Angel, the preliminary costume designs like you requested." They are two far for me to see.
"Perfect," says Angel.
4:46 PM (I'm gonna go into storytelling mode here)
"Annelise is here! Annelise is here!" The staff who intercept Angel's arrival speak rapidly into their headsets.
"Is everyone here already?" Angel asks for the second time today. She is hustled into the back room.
"No, we're still waiting on Mihashi," he replies.
The makeup artists and hair stylists converge on Angel and she is in costume in ten minutes.
"Four minutes until air!" Frantic voices squawk. "Places!!"
Another voice: "Make way for Mihashi!" Sassan zooms into the back room and is ready in record speed.
"Everyone ready?"
A screech. "Lyla isn't going to make it! She got held up!!"
Ms. Tallan, who made it over with Angel, spots me and snaps, "Evie, I know you're tailing Angel, but go take Lyla's place NOW!"
"Me?" I shriek back over the commotion.
"Three minutes to air!"
Ms. Tallan literally pushes me into the back room.
"And please welcome our guest performer today...an international sensation, the girl group SERA00-" *audience cheers* "-with their newest single, Seventh Heaven!"
"Good afternoon everyone!" Sassan yells as the girls stream out onto stage and launch into the choreography.
And this is the story of how I started by tailing Angel, and ended up in the cast of SERA00 members guest performing on a TV show.
Please support SERA00!

*panicpanic* Did I post about Vina yet O_O
*panicscurrypanic*
I thought I posted about Vina...
But I don't see the post from my admin page O_O arrrrhhhhghdkka I spent so much time on that post -____-
But okay the news is days old already. Lavina Stanbee, A rank, age 29, announced that she's graduating because she wants to marry her boyfriend. There.
I had kindly transcribed her entire announcement speech. But that flew off to Never-Never Land.
So, Vina is graduating. A 00 rank will probably be promoted. As it is, my best guess is that it will be Amity. She bloomed in the live rankings lately.
Alright. Please support SERA00.....and me.

Check Out This SERA00 Site!
-EDIT: this site no longer exists-
We have a sister site:
sera00elections.blogspot.com
This is manned by other SERA00 people, but we use the same account, so you'll see their posts posted by "Evie". Dat ain't me.
Anyways, on this site, it will host the official SERA00 Elections in the fall, but since that takes only a month or so, the site serves other purposes as well. It is a place where you can get updates on SERA00, news headlines, live rankings...
That place is your SERA00 encyclopedia.
Speaking of which, a "SERA00pedia" tab will be added soon and will feature wiki-type biographies of members. Enjoy ;)
Hmmmm what did I promise will be up next???? Well anyways, here's what's in my head for NOW.
-Day in the Life
-SERA00 movie audition results (/^_^)/
Karayin's busy too, she's got the upcoming Haven Hall concert and then the RYK Musicfest!

Ahh ),: Missed out on Team Aurora's Daily Concert
Hey......everyone.....
Bluuuhbleeeehblaaaaeeeuuuk I feel absolutely horrendous today. I woke up with jelly arms and a fever, hence I didn't get to perform in Team Aurora's performance at the SERA00 Stage. And I was actually quite looking forwards to it. Sassan's been really busy lately so eventually we got the thumbs up from Ms. Tallan to subsitute and perform. Ms. Tallan is Miss Avery's second in command and she handles everything in the Complex cuz Miss Avery is usually really busy and only comes by to see us maybe once a week or two.
Anyways, Rosie was set to subsitute for Sassan, and Kansas to subsitute for Rosie, and me to sub for Kansas. My oooone chance to stand in a B rank position *hear me waaaaiiil*. Oh well. Rome gets to do it now and Ariel and Amity from 00 rank is subbing for Rome and me respectively.
I heard some rumors going around that there was gonna be a big team reshuffle at the Haven Hall concert O___O The teams don't really move around that much other than the captains every Autumn Election. So..........but then again, there were also rumors that Vina is graduating at Haven Hall and she's already made it clear that she isn't.
We. Shall. See.
Ahhhh I was set to help out at the Sweetshop tomorrow and it doesn't look like that will be happening anytime soon. Better go call Fela...

Official SERA00 Announcement: Regarding Team Captains
This is an official announcement from SERA00 staff. It has been decided that team captains will no longer be the first to fourth ranked girls. The current captains will remain until the 2013 Popularity Polls.
The team captains will be chosen and decided by SERA00 staff. This change is to accommodate the busy schedules of the top idols, in order to relieve some of their responsibilities. In addition, with this change the girls will have their own say in whether they want to be captain or not.
Please be considerate of this change and do continue to support SERA00! Thank you.

Article From Celeb Gossip Site: Is Lavina Stanbee Having RelationshipProblems?
I found this article on a celebrity gossip site O__O
SERA00's Lavina Stanbee having relationship troubles?
Is SERA00's A rank Lavina Stanbee having troubles in her relationship with her long-term boyfriend?
Recently, the 29 year old's boyfriend was reported to have left on a business trip to Florida. These trips are not uncommon for the couple, but in previous years, Vina has always taken time off from SERA00 to join him.
This is the first time since the second generation member's admittance to the girl group that she has opted out of one of her boyfriend's business trips.
After enjoying a calm relationship so far, are they finally encountering stormy seas- or is this just a new change for Lavina Stanbee?

Recently, the 29 year old's boyfriend was reported to have left on a business trip to Florida. These trips are not uncommon for the couple, but in previous years, Vina has always taken time off from SERA00 to join him.
This is the first time since the second generation member's admittance to the girl group that she has opted out of one of her boyfriend's business trips.
After enjoying a calm relationship so far, are they finally encountering stormy seas- or is this just a new change for Lavina Stanbee?

SERA00 Movie Auditions! (Fab 4)
(Karayin segment coming soon!)
The entire "march break" in the SERA00 complex, we were all locked up in the stage. No, it wasn't because the amount of daily concerts (one) quadrupled in number...well that was part of it, but also because all the other time, the casting agents for the SERA00 movie were here!
Unlike the normal routine, all the roles were auditioned for randomly. Yesterday, Thursday morning, Rome jumped on me while I was still asleep.
"EEEEVIIIEEEEE," she shrieked in my ear. "It. Has finally. Happened. EEEEEEEKKK!"
I felt ready to slap her. And not just with my pillow. I mustered my weak morning strength, bolted upright and screamed "WHAT?"
It was a good thing both our roomates, Piper and Fawn, we're already up. They would not have been happy.
B and C ranks share four to a room, and usually there aren't enough A ranks who reside in the complex. So they usually get two to a room.
"Kay, so I was joining the Team Night's morning jogs, quite funny actually, night...morning, River's leading us and she was quite adamant to continue Luna's regime even though Luna wasn't there, which reminds me, that's probably why-"
"Get to the point." I said menacingly.
"Okay, so we passed the stage, and THE FAB 4 ARE AUDITIONING!!" Rome screamed.
That got me out of bed quick. In ten minutes we were one of the many curious SERA00 members who have taken a seat in the stage seating area to watch the auditions. For those who haven't read the "movie scripts" post, here's a quick rundown. Agent R and Agent T are the main characters. Agent R is captain of the team but often likes to investigate solo. Agent T, the supporting character sidekick, often fills in as captain. Agent T is a smooth and cunning double-agent who is so good at her job that her own team members begin to doubt her loyalty. Meanwhile, Agent R is efficiently spying on the story's villain, a ruthless woman with an innocent exterior whom the film is named after: SERA.
Whoever is cast in the lead role of Agent R will be granted the opportunity to sing the theme song, a solo opportunity.
The Fab 4 are reading all three parts and the roles will be determined by the casting agents a week later. The movie was terribly behind schedule, and was set to be released in the summer to coincide with the big biannual SERA00 concert...but with filming not even started it will be a deadline unheard of.
Granted, this isn't your ordinary film as all the cast members are from SERA00...we shall see.
"Miss Fallon Mackenzie," the agent called.
“Heeere,” she bounced onstage with her script in hand.
“Fallon, would you please read for Agent R first.”
“Can I read for Agent T?” Fracken asked. Luna was snickering from the sidelines at Fracken’s rebellious reply.
“Go ahead, Miss Mackenzie.” What else were they to say to Miss Rank Three? “Then can we have Miss Annelise Gillian read for Agent R at the same time?”
The props were wheeled out, a chair and a long rectangular table. Fracken deliberately fell into the chair and propped her feet on the table, one by one, her smile all but wiped off her face. “Agent R, my dear friend. Back now, are we?”
From the shadows behind the chair emerged Angel as Agent R in the same playfully serious demeanor. “Have you been suppressing my agents successfully?”
Fracken moved her head back to rest it on the top of the chair. Her golden-brown hair tumbled and draped over the back of the chair. “Well…” Fracken let her head roll to one side to eye Angel. “That’s a given, isn’t it?”
Angel smiled subtly and perched herself on the desk beside Fracken. She removed her own cell phone as a prop and pretended to scan the room for bugs. “Sera has been bolder,” she explained. “We must be on our guard at all times.”
Fracken removed her legs from the table and ran a hand through her hair. She placed her elbows on the table and rested her chin on her hands. “Why do we, Reagan?” she said thoughtfully with her eyes narrowed. “Why…do we fight each other like this…” She inhaled deeply and turned foxy eyes on Angel. “But Reagan dear…you’d follow me to the ends of the Earth…”
The casting agent stood up. “Thank you Fallon and Annelise.” He looked down at his clipboard. “Can we have Miss Mihashi Sakiko read for Sera and…ah, Miss Luna Remington for Agent T?”
Luna walked onstage, did a double-turn, and exclaimed, confused, to Angel, “Eh?? Where’s Sassan?”
Angel and Fracken did a quick take of backstage before Angel rolled her eyes and ran off shouting “Sakiko!” A minute later the two of them ran back.
Sassan hurried onstage and bowed to the agents. “Sorry, I was in a meeting with Miss Avery.”
“No worries, Mihashi. Places!”
The setting was supposed to be a rowdy bar late at night. Luna staggered to the bartender’s island and slammed her bottle down on the table. “Another one!” she yelled, pretending to be Agent T who was pretending to be drunk. Basically, she was pretending to be someone who was pretending to be drunk but wasn’t actually drunk.
A fresh faced girl clumsily brought Luna a bottle. I recognized her as the B rank Aida Kotoka, one of Sassan's best friends.
“EH. GIRLIE, ME FIRST.” Sassan appeared next to Luna, acting even more raucous and drunk.
Luna hurriedly slid her bottle to the “stranger” next to her. Red-faced, Sassan brought the bottle up to her face as if trying to read the label. “Blue…mountain? Rubbish! I. Want. Gilpard. Now!”
Luna’s eyes widened noticeably for a second before turning her full attention to the girl beside her. “Why don’t you try…Gillair, my friend?”
In a split second, Sassan dropped her “drunk” façade and smiled sweetly at Luna. “I’m not actually drunk. I only pretended because…” Sassan leaned in conspiratorially. “My friends kidnapped me out for a night of partying and I’m not really into that kind of stuff. They said I couldn’t leave until I was fully intoxicated. Come with me.”
Sassan led Luna “up the stairs” to one of the bar’s hotel rooms. “So, you are Tethany, and I am Sera.” She said matter-of-factly. “Let us not waste any time in this business.” A briefcase prop opened to reveal tons of cut-up newspaper parading as money. “Remember, Tethany, if you don’t do your job correctly…” Sassan tilted her head to one side and grinned. “Goony One and Goony Two will be watching.” With two fingers up for “Goony Two”, paired with her innocent smile, Sassan seemed almost as if she were posing for a picture.
Luna was trying to convey all of Agent T’s thoughts on her face. In this scene, Agent T had confirmed her double-agent spot with the villain Sera, and was meeting up for the first time to get paid. By pretending to spy on Agent R’s team for Sera, Agent T was able to actually spy on Sera for her team. But when she met Sera, the villain wasn’t the ruthless, cunning woman she had been led to believe. Instead, this girl spoke about everything in such a carefree manner, it was hard to believe.
“Thank you Luna and Mihashi!”
I will reveal the results in a week!!!! :D

Haven Hall: Info on Set List!!
River wasn't part of the Seventh Heaven cast. Why? It has been announced that for the upcoming Haven Hall concert, part of the set list will be two new SERA00 solos!
River will be making her solo debut at the concert. Her solo title is yet to be announced, but please support her! Congrats River, for finally debuting solo!
A girl familiar with the world of solos will be performing her fourth solo for the first time at the Haven Hall concert as well. Her solo title has not been announced either, but the singer is Luraland!
The fans are anticipating these two solos!! The reason that River wasn't part of the Seventh Heaven cast is directly linked to her solo. There were conflicting time issues and the directors for both were not able to work out a compromise time. In the end, River decided to prioritize her solo.
She released a statement. "I apologize to everyone that I couldn't be part of Seventh Heaven. I have prioritized my solo debut and I hope my fans will support my desicion. Thank you all and I am excited to perform at the Haven Hall concert!"
Okeeee so lotsa posts coming up (hint hint spoiler SERA00 movie auditions :D). Please support SERA00!!

~Luraland~ Stories from Around the House
Good morning all, as I write this. I am the first guest writer on SERA00's blog, as appointed by Miss Avery. Evie has been so kind as to let me write posts. I will tell you a little about me first.
My name is Alura Land, and my nickname, better known, is Luraland. I am currently in ninth grade and I am and A rank, in eighth place. I know many of you find it odd that I don't speak. Often I communicate in sign language, but many of the girls don't know sign language, so I also carry around a little tablet to write on. It was a gift from Angel.
Speaking of Angel, I'm sure many of you are wondering about my relationship with her. My parents are bonafide rock stars who tour with their band, Faraway Lands. As a result, I lived much my life with Angel. She's so sweet and loves taking care of me ^_^ Angel was always really protective, I think much of it due to her past. She was an independent girl as she didn't live with her parents either. She was brought up by her relatives until she became an emancipated minor. We still live at her rich auntie's place though, as it's easier than to find a place.
So, I first discovered my conflicting problems with singing when I entered a singing competition. The competition was a local version of the reality show type contests, which meant that there were many stages to the competition. The judges were very impressed with my vocals, commenting that I would blow the roof of the contest… no one even came close to my level, etc. But by the time I got to the semi-finals, I found that I couldn’t sing. My vocal cords were completely wiped out and the doctors said that I needed to preserve my voice as much as possible. So while many of you think that refraining from speaking at all is going overboard, I’m willing to whatever it takes to protect my voice. Because I know that it is a great gift and I will treasure my voice always. I joined SERA00 with Angel; this wonderful environment allows me to protect my voice while giving me a chance to share my song with the world.
So I ask you all, please support me as a guest writer on this blog!
I will begin now with a couple of stories from around the house. There’s been much fan speculation as to why River is the only Media Member left out from the cast of Seventh Heaven. River doesn’t seem perturbed at all by this fact. While some of the younger members are also confused, we have sort of clued in to her situation and will report more on this later.
The fabulous four haven’t been around the past few days, they are off overseas in France doing a promotional concert to expand SERA00’s international fanbase. Fracken was plenty excited for a chance to shop in Paris. Sassan was debating with her inner interests; whether to lose herself in gourmet French food or be strict with herself and watch her intake of fancy foods… Luna saw it as a chance to try out her newfound French skills and Angel was oohing and aweing with Sassan about the prospect of afternoon tea in a French café. Overall, I’d say they will be pretty occupied with the spring promo events already, they might not even have time to set foot on a Parisian road.
Over here in Canada the rest of the A ranks are preoccupied with details of the upcoming concert taking place in the Haven Concert Hall.
A little update on Karayin; Miss Avery has granted her permission to be the official blogger for the occasion. Evie will not be left out either; she will be followed by a camera crew as she hosts the backstage feature released with the DVD version of the Haven Hall concert.

SERA00 Pastimes: "Sassan" Mihashi Sakiko
Hey y'all fans! Today I bring you the exiting pilot episode of the forthcoming "Interest" Series: SERA00 Pastimes! In addition to being written about on my blog, these segments will be recorded into a one-hour special to be played on TV! We decided to start of this sequence with someone reeeeaaal interesting.
Cute and kind and generous, this girl is loved by everyone. Her charming personality is part of what has gotten her into the A rank of Team Aurora; her skill and dedication towards SERA00 is the other part. Of Japanese heritage, please welcome the number one ranked girl, the essence of SERA00, Mihashi Sakiko!
For long time coming, Sassan has been an avid chef in her spare time. Enjoying both cooking and baking, SERA00 girls have been known to water at the mouth when Sassan's mushroom risotto or apple pie is mentioned. Today, we will put Sassan's cooking to the test; evaluated by the public.
We will secretly place Sassan in the kitchen of SERA00's Sweetshop. After customers finish eating, we will have them complete a survey, answer a few questions about the quality of the food, and then bring out the actual chef to meet them...Sassan!
The media members were chosen to work on this project. They were all A ranks, as after all, it's Sassan. So it's going to be SERA00 heaven for the lucky fans who get into the café. They think it's a special promotion where all famous members become waitresses for a day. What they don't know is that the usual chef has a day off. To avoid suspicion, they were told that Sassan was in an interview and couldn't make the promotion.
On the Sunday, we were getting ready to open shop, a little later than usual at 9:30 AM. Something had gone wrong and communication had been lost somewhere along the way; the special menus hadn't been created. So the menus were hurriedly printed out. The selections had been changed from the original to match Sassan's recipes. Already, there was a long line of customers waiting outside. When the first part of the lineup was interviewed, they admitted that they had camped out in front of the Sweetshop all night.
About two hundred down the line, the two guys told me that they had arrived at five AM to already find this line. Wooow, compared to us, demand for the A ranks, especially the media members, was in a whole other league.
The media members lined up in front of the door and shop opened crazily, with fans trying to stream in to get a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse of all eight media members together, and only a couple of meters away from them. Good thing we had security.
Because there were only fifteen tables, after the initial rush, we employed half the media members at once. They were split into two teams, plus lucky lucky me who was there to report on the segment. Team One, renamed to Team Sunrise, consisted of Harley, River, Luna, and Fracken. Team Two, renamed Team Cupcakes (=D) consisted of me, Angel, Luraland, and Rosie. The relief team of the normal café staff who wouldn't step in unless needed, jokingly named themselves the Maid Team.
"This is so exciting!" Fela whispered to me in earnest. She's the young Sweetshop manager, if you haven't read my Sweetshop post. Of course Fela would be excited for her shop to be dominated by some uber-famous girls for a day.
Both teams were dispatched to take orders; each table took a little longer as the customers asked for autographs and photos. But enough with main dining area. We will now follow the camera crew backstage and see Sassan create her crafts!
Sassan is hard at work. Today she is the head chef, and everything will be cooked to her discrepancy. Sassan is smothering a two large roast beefs with her own blend of spices. Randomly jabbing the hunk of meat, she inserted cloves of garlic into the incisions. A couple of hours earlier, Sassan had already put two roasts in the oven; now, she took out the finished roast and replaced it with the two raw ones. Flouncing across the kitchen, she checks on her risotto, which apparently seems to be going well. Now it's off to the rice cooker, then to the soup, and arrives at the pie. Sassan expertly kneads the dough, both hands white from the cornstarch. She rolls it out , lines ten pans at once, and scoops the apple mixture into half. The other half is filled with a berry mixture. She works efficiently, and creates lattice tops for the pies, finishing them off with flawless crimping. "Pop them in the oven, half and hour at four-twenty-five," Sassan instructs the kitchen staff. The cakes are ready and she hand decorates each one. Somehow, within all the roses, she writes "SERA00" on each cake with beautiful calligraphy.
Finally, with nothing pressing at hand, Sassan takes a break. I take this opportunity to interview the SERA00 star.
Me: Good morning, Sassan!
Sassan: Hi Evie!
Me: So, Sassan, tell us how you're doing right now.
Sassan: Well, I'd say everything is going fine right now, but it's only the beginning of the day. I've never made so much food in one session before, like this, and it's absolutely exhausting!
Me: You're quite amazing, Sassan. Is the quality of your food up to your own standards?
Sassan: I would hope that it is! *laughs* I'm actually quite nervous to find out what my fans think about my cooking skills; but that's just it, isn't it? In the past, I've always had my fame supporting me, but now, no one knows who's the actual chef...my name won't help me now!
Me: Sassan, when did you get into this hobby of cooking?
Sassan: *thoughtful look* Hmmm...I would say that it would have to be a couple of years back. Yeah. When SERA00 was first formed, we had about, say, a year of hardships before we really entered the music industry fully. Ah, I guess we were pretty lucky to get our big break only twelve months after we were formed. But Miss Avery had full control of the group and our path was well planned out. We had about twenty girls to start out, and because we were going through these times when we thought all our efforts combined didn't even make an impression on people's hearts when we sang, we were quite depressed. So Angel, always our leader, began to hold small little weekly parties just for us girls to celebrate our hard work. Everyone would bring something to the party. I used to bring desserts, and when all the other girls were actually enthusiastic about the taste, that's when I started to take cooking more seriously. Yeah...those were good times...
Angel: *walks in* Sassan!! Here, fifteen order sheets quick! *dissapears back out*
Me: Thank you, Sassan! I'll leave you to your devices.
Okay, wow. Seriously, just how do they do it? The famous members all have this talent for spinning interesting stories out of interview questions. If that had been me, it would have been like this:
Interviewer: So, Evie, when did you first really get into this hobby?
Me: Three years ago.
Interviewer: ...
Me: ...
Ready for round one? Here we go. The blinds are pulled down, doors locked. The fans on the outside will have their chance but they musn't see what is going to happen now.
"Can I have everyone's attention?" Angel yells sweetly. Somehow she can make the two go together.
"Angel! The fans' shouts begin.
"I love you Angel!"
"Thank you," Angel takes a bow. "But today isn't about me. You all are on a new SERA00 TV segment, and this is the first episode!"
The restaurant erupts into cheers.
"The media members will now move to your table and you will have the opportunity to rate the quality of the food you tasted today. It is imperative that you give your most honest opinion. The chef won't mind!" Angel explained.
Standing at the doorway to the kitchen, half-veiled by the curtain, I witnessed both Angel's grin and Sassan's perfect rendition of a raised eyebrow.
Angel flounced over to a table where a young couple sat. They had shared a slice of apple pie. She bent down and grinned broadly, shoving the mic in the guy's face. "What did you think of the apple pie?"
He seemed a little overwhelmed and replied, "It was very good." His girlfriend dared to venture a little further with her reply though. "It was good, but I think it was overly sweet."
It continued on like that. Generally, the customers were very forgiving. They commented both positive and negative. Some of the feedback Sassan received included that her pasta should be more al dente, and that it was too limp in its current state.
"And miss over here with the cake sampler," Angel said, "What are your thoughts?"
She took the challenge full-on: "Overall, I would say kudos to the chef but the cakes are all very traditional. Chocolate, vanilla, the cakes are all something someone would bake at home. They lack the creativity you see in most high class restaurants. Especially since this is supposed to be a café."
"Wow," Angel exclaimed into the camera. "Miss..."
"Lara Crawford," she said to Angel, "Food critic."
"Ms. Crawford here is very knowledgeable!" Angel finished. She swept back to the front of the café. She had an innocently sweet smile on her face that I knew came from knowing she was about to prank everyone in the room, big time.
River was standing by the camera, doing the commentary as Angel led the program. Now, River was facing the camera as she said ominously, "We will now ...reveal the chef to the restauranters, who have no idea what is about to happen." She turned to address the bewildered customers. "Angel and I and the rest of the media members have been playing you all along. This is not actually a promotion for the Sweetshop but is actually the filming for the pilot episode of a new SERA00 segment. It is called SERA00 Pastimes. Each episode features one girl and their hobby. Today we showcase the cooking hobby of..." River looked to Angel to finish the sentence.
Backstage, staff were ushering Sassan into place for the reveal. Someone with a clipboard told Sassan: "Sassan, walk out in three...two..."
Angel gave her most charming smile and swept one hand towards the kitchen curtain. "Mihashi Sakiko!"
The entire shop erupted into ear-piercing cheers. Fans were going giddy with excitement to see Sassan barely metres away from them.
"Sassan!"
"SASSAN I LOVE YOU SASS-"
"Sassan we support you!"
The chaos died down as she climbed up the little platform to stand next to Angel. She took the microphone handed to her by the staff and bowed briefly. "Ah, good morning everyone! Thank you all for coming out here today even though you didn't know you would see me. How are we all doing?"
The tiny crowd roared with a volume ten times their size.
"Sassan, my dear friend," Angel said. "Let's hear from you. What did you think of the feedback you received from your customers?"
"Mm, well first if all I would like to say thank you for being honest! What do I think...I would have to say that I never really thought about it that way!" Sassan said. "I never really considered honing my skills to a professional level, to fit gourmet standards. Basically, I never had actual cooking lessons as my SERA00 girls were my teachers. I usually catered to their taste as they are the only ones who have eaten my food so far, so as long as they were happy I didn't think of trying to perfect my food any further like a lot of you commented.
"I think there is a lot I can learn even now. There are many tastes out there I have never explored because I feel comfortable with my current menu. I guess it's like SERA00...If you always stick to your current repertoire you will never discover new hits!"
The crowd roared their approval.
"So Luna must have her pasta limp as string," Sassan targeted her friend amiably.
Luna grinned and raised her hand in awknowedgement.
"And Luraland loves chocolate cake," Sassan continued.
Luraland smiled sweetly and posed for the cameras and videocameras that turned her way.
"And all the girls have an unhealthy love for sugar in their food! There is much for me to think about now, thank you very much and please continue to support me!" Sassan finished with a bow and the cameramen stopped rolling the film.
The day continued on and one noticeable change was that Sassan really took her fans' comments to heart and there were less negative comments as the day progressed. One thing didn't change though: the girls' enthusiasm and Sassan's love of cooking!

"Thank you," Angel takes a bow. "But today isn't about me. You all are on a new SERA00 TV segment, and this is the first episode!"
The restaurant erupts into cheers.
"The media members will now move to your table and you will have the opportunity to rate the quality of the food you tasted today. It is imperative that you give your most honest opinion. The chef won't mind!" Angel explained.
Standing at the doorway to the kitchen, half-veiled by the curtain, I witnessed both Angel's grin and Sassan's perfect rendition of a raised eyebrow.
Angel flounced over to a table where a young couple sat. They had shared a slice of apple pie. She bent down and grinned broadly, shoving the mic in the guy's face. "What did you think of the apple pie?"
He seemed a little overwhelmed and replied, "It was very good." His girlfriend dared to venture a little further with her reply though. "It was good, but I think it was overly sweet."
It continued on like that. Generally, the customers were very forgiving. They commented both positive and negative. Some of the feedback Sassan received included that her pasta should be more al dente, and that it was too limp in its current state.
"And miss over here with the cake sampler," Angel said, "What are your thoughts?"
She took the challenge full-on: "Overall, I would say kudos to the chef but the cakes are all very traditional. Chocolate, vanilla, the cakes are all something someone would bake at home. They lack the creativity you see in most high class restaurants. Especially since this is supposed to be a café."
"Wow," Angel exclaimed into the camera. "Miss..."
"Lara Crawford," she said to Angel, "Food critic."
"Ms. Crawford here is very knowledgeable!" Angel finished. She swept back to the front of the café. She had an innocently sweet smile on her face that I knew came from knowing she was about to prank everyone in the room, big time.
River was standing by the camera, doing the commentary as Angel led the program. Now, River was facing the camera as she said ominously, "We will now ...reveal the chef to the restauranters, who have no idea what is about to happen." She turned to address the bewildered customers. "Angel and I and the rest of the media members have been playing you all along. This is not actually a promotion for the Sweetshop but is actually the filming for the pilot episode of a new SERA00 segment. It is called SERA00 Pastimes. Each episode features one girl and their hobby. Today we showcase the cooking hobby of..." River looked to Angel to finish the sentence.
Backstage, staff were ushering Sassan into place for the reveal. Someone with a clipboard told Sassan: "Sassan, walk out in three...two..."
Angel gave her most charming smile and swept one hand towards the kitchen curtain. "Mihashi Sakiko!"
The entire shop erupted into ear-piercing cheers. Fans were going giddy with excitement to see Sassan barely metres away from them.
"Sassan!"
"SASSAN I LOVE YOU SASS-"
"Sassan we support you!"
The chaos died down as she climbed up the little platform to stand next to Angel. She took the microphone handed to her by the staff and bowed briefly. "Ah, good morning everyone! Thank you all for coming out here today even though you didn't know you would see me. How are we all doing?"
The tiny crowd roared with a volume ten times their size.
"Sassan, my dear friend," Angel said. "Let's hear from you. What did you think of the feedback you received from your customers?"
"Mm, well first if all I would like to say thank you for being honest! What do I think...I would have to say that I never really thought about it that way!" Sassan said. "I never really considered honing my skills to a professional level, to fit gourmet standards. Basically, I never had actual cooking lessons as my SERA00 girls were my teachers. I usually catered to their taste as they are the only ones who have eaten my food so far, so as long as they were happy I didn't think of trying to perfect my food any further like a lot of you commented.
"I think there is a lot I can learn even now. There are many tastes out there I have never explored because I feel comfortable with my current menu. I guess it's like SERA00...If you always stick to your current repertoire you will never discover new hits!"
The crowd roared their approval.
"So Luna must have her pasta limp as string," Sassan targeted her friend amiably.
Luna grinned and raised her hand in awknowedgement.
"And Luraland loves chocolate cake," Sassan continued.
Luraland smiled sweetly and posed for the cameras and videocameras that turned her way.
"And all the girls have an unhealthy love for sugar in their food! There is much for me to think about now, thank you very much and please continue to support me!" Sassan finished with a bow and the cameramen stopped rolling the film.
The day continued on and one noticeable change was that Sassan really took her fans' comments to heart and there were less negative comments as the day progressed. One thing didn't change though: the girls' enthusiasm and Sassan's love of cooking!
Thank you for reading this post and please watch SERA00 Pastimes: Mihashi Sakiko. Please support SERA00!

And you're never gonna reach the finish line
Never gonna get your chance to shine

When you reach the pinnacle

I know tomorrow will hold a(nother) new role
Even looking up I'm learning each day
I'm gonna shine now on the way~

New Development: Co-Blogger and Guest Bloggers!!
So, Miss Avery finally found a fault in my writing. She says the fans like to hear about the A ranks, but I'm not close enough to them to write honest descriptions of them.
So once in a while I will hand it over to a guest blogger who will share their stories with you! It could be an A rank or a Fabulous Four...something like that. But these guest bloggers won't be regular authors; they'll post specials once in a while.
No, Miss Avery said, we are going to go even further. There will be a regular co-blogger who is affiliated with the A rank circle, who knows them much better than I do.
Please welcome my co-blogger, G rank member Karayin!
Karayin, former SERA00 member, graduated four years ago, and although there were no official rankings back then, she was considered a Fabulous Four member. When she joined the G rank, Angel moved up a rank into the Fab 4. Even after her days as a member, Karayin maintained a close friendship with the media members and the rest of her fellow first generation members. She moved on to pursue a reporting career and found a job with an online celebrity gossip site, and because of her connections with SERA00, was largely appointed to reporting on the girl group she was once a part of.
Now, Karayin has agreed to co-blog on the site as she is admitted to many SERA00 events.
But first, said Miss Avery, we will kick of this change with a guest blogger special. Who will write it?
The logical choice was...Luraland! She's an amazing writer, not surprising as she's literally written her entire life on paper.
So, when there are posts with a different author than me, they will be marked with a ~name~ before the title, with the guest blogger's name in place of "name". For example, ~Karayin~ or ~Luraland~.
EVIE FANS. DESPAIR NOT. I will still be writing the majority of the posts.
Anywayyyyys, please support SERA00!

Live Time Celebrity Ranking
Okay. SERA00 fans. Guess what?
So you know that celebrity site- Live Time Star Rankings? They keep a list of which celebrity in the nation is the most popular by tracking their names. According to the number of times a celebrity's name is used in a tweet, post, or something similar, associated with positive words, the celebrity moves up or down rank. And the site is live time, which means it's always current and is updated every second.
I was scrolling the site today, watching the faces of the celebrities move up and down and up and up and down. Out of the top 100 rankings, about twenty of them, pretty much all A ranks, were SERA00 members. I guess it's partly due to our large personel, but still impressive!
The fabulous four were right at the top. Sassan was battling for third with another uber-famous singer. They switched third-fourth-third-fourth crazy fast. Fracken took fourth place overall. Going down further we have Angel and Fracken holding a steady 19 and 20, respectively. Fracken is a popular idol in the talk of fashion.
Harley followed not far behind at 35, Luna at 40, and River at 49, and that was all the mention of SERA00 above fiftieth place.
Let's just scroll down, past all the usual popular girls. Down to place 99 and who is that?
Evangeline Vera!!!
I was so excited that I got 99 in the top one hundred ranking of all the celebrities in the entire ranking! In the past, only A ranks have gotten into the top one hundred! And I'm only a C rank...
If you click into a name, you can see more details, as well as the top three words the person is associated with. For Sassan, the current rankings are "cute", "idol", and "pretty". Fracken, it is "cool", "fashion", and "want". For Angel, it is "amazing", "dedicated", and "leader". I totally agree with that. And then you click into my profile. You see "SERA00", "blog", and "post".
I guess my recent popularity spiked with the creation of the SERA00 blog. I'm getting my hopes up...maybe I can rise to B rank in the popularity polls :D but that's still a half year away. Unfortunately, I know all too well that my Live Time Rank is going to drop back into the thousands soon enough.
Anyways, just thought I'd share the good news with you all! Please support SERA00!

SERA00's new Facebook page!
First off, here's the link:
https://facebook.com/?refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F&_rdr#!/profile.php?id=607357419278409&slog=869199821&seq=785511668&rk=0&fbtype=65&__user=100003936714827
Miss Avery told me two things today:
1) "Evie, I know you're getting eighties in school. But it would be easier for you to handle your load with the blog and everything if you just tried a little harder in school right now. Boost your marks up to a ninety."
2) "Also, Evie, I have more for you to do. Since you're doing so well with the blog, I would like you to create a Facebook page for SERA00 and admin it, okay? Thank you, Evie."
And if you think about it, they sort of contradict each other. Here's something else that's sort of ironic. I'm going to be posting the links to the most recent blog updates on the Facebook. Every time I post a new post, I'll post the link to the post on Facebook. (postpostpost) So if you like us on Facebook (prettyprettyplease) you will be notified when a new post comes out!
And the ironic thing about it is that I'll be posting on Facebook this post about how I'll be posting stuff on Facebook.
This all made sense, right?
