Mipsy was frankly surprised when she opened the door. Both she and Earnest had done so more from a sense of obligation than any expectation that she would reply. Mrs. Helga Springer had been such a good townswoman for such a long time, going straight to the break in just wasn't the neighborly thing to do.
"Oh! Welcome, welcome!" Helga threw open the door and angled for a hug, her smile only fading when Earnest dodged out of her attempted hug. She didn't look infected, but one could never be too sure.
"Is something wrong?"
"Just here for a check in, Helga." Mipsy said. "We know you're daughter is...unwell, so the council sent us over to make sure nothing spread."
"The council." Helga scoffed.
"They protect the town." Earnest reminded her.
"by killing good people and spreading dirty lies!"
Earnest grimaced. He had never been one for blasphemy.
"I know it's been hard, Helga." Mipsy cut in. She would have put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, but the risk of infection was still very real. Unable to emphasize through touch, Mipsy focused on channeling everything she had into her voice. "That's why we're here. We're neighboors, we take care of each other, and all we want to do is make sure you're well. You can show us that, can't you? That you and your daughter are alright?"

Coffee's finished and I have things to do. Still no doll, but she's coming. For the next entry, I'm thinking of Helga talking about how awesome she is, Mipsy lying about how they will totally leave her evil forest spawn alone if she can prove that she's okay, and finding somewhere to bring up that Earnest is currently carrying a whole bunch of knives.
Of course that depends on my remembering what I want to do all the way into tomorrow, so no promises. I'm making this up as I go along.
