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!
I think I puzzled out what the corrupted part says, if anyone's curious:
ReplyDelete"Luraland studies herself on the mirror and quickly scribbles Thx <3 on her tablet. Angel seems satisfied as well. They thank the staff and head for their next location."
