The next Morning: Melana wakes up late, and so is in a hurry to get to her breakfast. Noticing the lack of a mirror,
she knows something has happened, but doesn't worry about it, after all looking over herself as best as she can
without a mirror, she looks normal, nothing is blue. She notes to herself; "I have to remember to get that ter'angreal
back before I regret having left it in Rebekah’s room." She leaves her room, and starts to leave the blue hall, when
she notices Rebekah's head peaking out of her room; she quickly slams the door, and all that can be heard from there
is laughter. Turning again to leave, she runs head first into Selendra, who manages to say, "I dunno where you're
going, but you probably want to put on something more decent." between giggles. Selendra leads Melana to another
room, and straight towards a mirror, where she can see her reflection, she appears to be wearing the outfit a young
Aiel girl would wear, complete short skirt stopping just above her knees and double braids in her hair, with ribbons.
"REBEKAH!" Rushing back to where Rebekah is, again peeking out of her room, attempting a very innocent look
inbetween her unstoppable laughter, she quickly slams a shield between her and the source, and gives her a new
outfit too, the Sea Folk's, without the upper half. "I'll change you back, if you change me!" Melana practically
screams. Realizing her error, she removes the shield and Rebekah removes the weave. Adding "Now you fix me!"
Laughing softly, Melana responds, "I said I'd change you back, I didn't say when. Hope you didn't have any plans with
you-know-who today." She tries to rush out, but runs straight into a solid wall. "Uhh, just kidding, I'll change you
back!" Quickly does so, before running off to her breakfast.
Melana stalks off to her breakfast, a scowl on her face. "That Rebekah, I’ll get back at her, the Light help me, I will.
Tries to embarrass me in public, does she?" As she walks on, her temper cools. Suddenly she notices that everybody
is whispering and pointing at her. "What is it now?" she grumbles and looks down her dress as some Novices are
pointing in her direction while giggling. "Blood and ashes, I need a mirror!" She stalks down the hallway and to a
mirror hanging on one of the walls. Looking into it, she realizes that when Rebekah removed the outfit of an Aiel girl,
she really just re-placed it with a feathery one; a costume like the ones they use in Ebou Dar on the festival of the
Birds."Light! And I don’t even have time to go back and strangle her if I want to meet Janos for breakfast." She walks
on, cheek held high. Though it’s colour is kinda crimson. She finally makes it to where Janos is waiting, his mouth
hanging open. "Oh, don’t even bother to ask, I’m not in the mood to explain this right now." She sits down and glares
at the door, waiting to see if Rebekah appears. Around her everyone is whispering and laughing. Janos asks if she’d
like something to eat, but her angry scowl tells him not to bother her. Suddenly she hears a familiar voice behind her.
"Melana, Daughter, what in the Light are you wearing? I’m not sure if that’s proper." She quickly turns to see the
amused look on the Amyrlin’s face. Everybody has gone really quiet. "Mother…uuh, I’m not really wearing it, it’s
really just a weave a friend of mine made without me realizing. I’ll make her do something about it as soon as I find
her." She promises to meet Janos later, grabs an apple and makes a gateway back to her rooms in the Blue Quarters.
There she stalks over to Rebekah’s door and knocks. No-one answers. She channels and unlocks the door, then opens
it and stalks inside, looking everywhere for Rebekah. But she’s not there, neither is the ter’angreal.
Rebekah finally gets back from a long day of travelling to frozen lands and sets up Melana's room just right, many
delicate weaves spaced throughout her room, but most are carefully inverted so no one but she can see them. She
hurries out to change her sodden dress, and spend the rest of the night relaxing while waiting for Melana to return.
Rebekah runs to her room, and starts to change, when she notices none of her other dresses are in her closet. Turning
she realizes the dress she just discarded is in Melana's arms, as she is gazing at Rebekah's startled face from the
doorway to her room.
"What did you do to my dresses, Melana??" she splutters angrily. "I hid them" and with that a glowing nimbus
surrounds Melana, as a shield is forced between Rebekah and the source.
When she knocks on Mac's door, there is no answer. "The light be thanked, he isn't here!" Forcing the door open she
sees all her dresses scattered mixed in with all of Mac's manly/warder-ish belongings. Quickly she dresses, bundling
as many dresses as she can carry, and opens the door just to run directly into Mac. "Umm, what are you doing in my
room?" Rebekah's cheek go slightly crimson, but she says a silent Thank the light that he hadn't come back ten
minutes earlier. "Well, umm, it was just a little prank. I'll.. umm.. get the rest of my dresses later." Running off as
fast as she can, she stops momentarily when she hears Mac yell after her. "Rebekah! Nice hat!" followed by "manly
laughter"
When she reaches the blue hall again, Melana is waiting for her. "How did it go? Run into anyone interesting." Just
then Mac enters, carrying the rest of Rebekah's dresses, and Rebekah, turning even more crimson grabs them, mutters
a hasty thanks and runs into her room. Mac, looking confused asks Melana to explain, but she only says, while trying
hard not to laugh, "Its just a little games us blue sisters are playing. If you were part of this Ajah you would
understand. Actually I know where there might be an opening for a youngling like yourself in the blue.” Just then
another pillow whirls by Melana's head, as the door to Rebekah's room is quickly slammed shut again. "Maybe you
better go now Mac!" she says, feeling very proud of herself. She happily sees Mac off, and then returns to her room,
Rebekah's earlier channeling there completely forgotten.
When she enters the room, suddenly dozens of blue feathers fall from the ceiling covering her, and her newest
companion. Standing next to her in the room is a very large blue snowman, and over his head is a sign, written with
the power that says "Bond me instead! I'm more blue than Janos will ever be!" Melana stands in her room covered in
blue feathers, sneezing. She turns to stare at the snowman with a startled expression and doesn’t even notice that
Moradi and Selendra are standing behind her, until she hears a very familiar giggling. "Rebekah!!" she exclaims as
she turns to the door, and is startled to see the other two women there. "What are you girls doing?" Moradi asks,
looking at her, "I swear there hasn’t been a quiet moment in the blue halls since you two were raised! Actually I think
you have been in more trouble after you gained the shawl, then when you were Novices and Accepted!" she adds with
a crisp smile. Her face going slightly crimson, Melana glares at Rebekah standing behind the other two, grinning
impishly. "I think you should do something with your future...ehem... Warder before he melts and leaves a big blue
puddle on your floor" Selendra says, looking slightly frustrated, though amusement can be detected in her expression.
"And do something about those feathers, will you dear?" Rebekah adds, with an innocent smile. "I’ll do something
with those feathers, alright!" Melana mutters as Moradi and Selendra returns to their own business. Embracing the
power, she lifts the sign away from the snowman and into her closet. "I think I’ll keep that one as a memory of this
lightforsaken day." Then she gathers all the feathers in the room with several flows of air, and floats them quickly
over to where Rebekah is standing, releasing them all over her head.
"I know," both women exclaim at the same time, weaving another illusion around themselves. Suddenly the room is
filled with two Moradi's, three actually as the real one opens the door, saying; "Ladies, Minerva is looking for you,
and I don't think she is going to believe either one of you is me, let alone both of you. And Selendra is out there too,
so don't try her either." Thinking quickly both women channel again, and suddenly there are two Jorryn's standing
there. Looking frustrated, one of them says; "Melana, if we're going to hide as other sisters, we can't be the same
sister, I'll be Jorryn, you be Arthaine." "Not unless you can think of a good reason for the head of the Brown Ajah and
the Head of the White to be here in my room." the other Jorryn replies. "Let's just get out of here for a while!" the first
says, adding, "I have an idea where we can go." Channeling again, Rebekah and Melana return, and a gateway opens.
Both women quickly step through. "Where are we?" Melana asks, and Rebekah replies, "In my favourite hideout in
the Tower. We're actually in the Library, a deep corner I found back when I was a novice, hiding from Moradi for a
little while." Looking around, Melana asks; "I thought you were a good novice, why were you hiding from Moradi?"
Rebekah's cheeks go a little pink, but she laughs as she replies. "Oh, when I was a novice I got caught spying on
Jakeb. I uhh... had a little crush on him back then." She laughs and Melana quickly joins in. "Light! Rebekah, did you
see the look on Minerva's face? Perhaps we should give her a while to calm down before we confront her. And don't
think this little war is over between us just yet. I have to get you back for that little warder joke." She laughs, and
Rebekah replies, "Like that was any worse then sending me searching through the tower in my shift. Light, how am I
going to explain that to Mac." The two women laugh and joke like silly novices for a while, before carefully returning
to their rooms for the night, Just before carefully locking the doors so Minerva cannot surprise them in their sleep,
Rebekah gives Melana a warning. "Remember tomorrow, this truce is off, and all is fair game."
