[Mahalia looks worried as the message starts, and she's holding herself rather strangely, both hands locked down tight around her neck.]
Do strange things happen, if you go to the wild places? I thought, so many people have been there, it should be alright. I was only there a little while, but it seems like many days have passed, and...
[The reason for her strange position makes itself evident, the long ends of her hair moving to twist around her arms, to unknot the scarf on her head. Mahalia makes an effort to stop it, but she has far too much hair for her two hands to defend against for long.]
This keeps happening.
[Frustrated and upset, she gives up on trying to hold the mass in place and drops her arms, the hair unwinding from them as she does so, had clearly only wanted to be free. The fabric of her scarf slips off shortly after, and with nothing else in particular to pull at or wind around, her hair simply shifts and writhes in place, a very disconcerting motion when one is expecting something to stay still. She tries to at least tuck it behind her ears, but it slips free from that immediately, and she covers her face with her hands, voice muffled.]
It won't stop. I don't know what to do.
