[Hazel's hands are partially shaking as the camera turns on. Not even when she first came to Wonderland...not even when she second came to Wonderland...or any other Event, to date, had her so flustered as the poor 14-year-old looked at that very moment. Her cheeks seemed to be shaded a permanent pinkish-red, and she was glancing around nervously. At the ground.]

If anybody sees any gemstones laying around...diamonds, rubies, emeralds...whatever you do, please don't pick them up. Please. I can't...I can't explain. Just trust me. I don't...

[To say she was close to tears might have been a slight exaggeration, but only just slightly. She had to take a deep breath in order to calm herself; an observant onlooker would notice two more palm-sized objects appear in the background, made all the more visible as their shimmering surfaces glimmered in the sunlight.]

Frank? Where are you? I need your help. It...it's happening again.

[She hoped he would remember, because she could barely bring herself to admit it aloud. After all this time, all the control she'd managed...she'd almost forgotten that she was still Cursed.]

((ooc: As part of the event, Hazel's Curse has come back with a vengeance...I say, as if it ever really left her. To put it simply, there will be random gemstones appearing from the ground at random throughout the Event. Each and every single one of these gemstones is cursed. Anyone who picks one up will suffer deadly bad luck. There is no specific time limit, however, so one might simply suffer a few mishaps during the Event itself and not perish until afterwards. There is no limit on gemstones, so anybody who wants can pick one up; if you have any other questions feel free to PM me or poke me over at plurk. Otherwise, gem-finding is a free-for-all))

What...?

[He's usually way better at paying attention to her. Even when he had Ares and Mars screaming inside his head and basically ruining his life by making him look even more like an incompetent fool, he could still focus enough to listen to her.

But right now it's just... so hard to focus, to actually pay attention.]

What is happening again?

Hazel? Hazel, what's wrong?

[ He's not touching the jewels because she said don't and he does trust her, but something's wrong. ]
