 Hunter was in a red display case with a glass panel in front showing off his face and upper body, he blinked his eyes in a sleep manner. Hunter had been sleeping for a while now and he would likely continue to sleep till he found the family that was right for him, whatever that meant. It wasn't an emotional thing since Hunter didn't really understand emotions as the beings that moved about the store did. Hunter had a cord hooked up to the internet in his box so he could research things, researching love the subject of the name he had been given. Hunter Jubilee, the hunter's jubilee. Hunter was a farce though since he was a doll and had no understanding of the holiday he had been named for. Someone coming to Hunter asking for love and devotion was barking up the wrong tree. He would be grateful to the family for giving him something to do, but at this point in his being, he knew nothing of emotions. Hunter thought the large red bow wrapped around his case served little to no function, it just got in the way of him being released to meet a possible owner. Not that Hunter had been rushing to pick someone he had mostly been sleeping and not drinking his tea.

 Arcadia entered the shop, the bell on the door tolled to show they had a customer, she slowly looked around, she'd never been in a shop like this before; glass cases lined the walls, she felt a little strange in all truth, she knew they were 'Dolls' but shopping for another nightmare was always going to feel odd. When the ringleader of her circus mentioned having a Doll for background work would be handy: working on the staging, planning shows, organizing where to camp up next - Arcadia offered to go and 'shop' for one and as long as they accepted her she'd be happy to take responsibility for them! (Her Ringleader joked she'd fit right in because of her Ball joint tattoos!) She made a note to also buy some Angel breath tea if she found the right doll today. She stopped at a Big red bow, she felt it looked a little obnoxious, but she guessed they were trying to advertise in a way, the doll inside looked a little sad... or maybe that was emotionless... Arcadia wasn't sure but her instinct was to rescue them!

 Hunter was still in his box the same place he had been for months, the hunter's jubilee had long since passed and he was still left alone in his box. Just surfing the web trying to understand the nightmares and daydreams he researched online. He still didn't understand a lot that he had looked at and read it was very strange all of it. Still, Hunter wanted out he wanted to see the world for himself and figure emotions out. Hunter opened his eyes a little looking at a face looking at him. He was tired he needed tea to get himself going but he felt, he felt like he would be getting out of this box soon. He cleared his throat though he didn't really need to breathe. Since Hunter had no blood or organs. Speaking still required breath. "Hello, I am Hunter Jubilee." He said in a calm neutral voice.

 Arcadia smiled "Hello Hunter Jubilee - My name is Arcadia..." She paused slightly "Could I maybe get you one of those special teas?" She wasn't sure why she felt the need to offer, but it almost looked like he needed it.. "I'm looking for someone to help at the Circus I am a part of - working on the staging, planning shows, organizing where to camp up next ... Would that be something you might be interested in Hunter Jubilee? You'd stay in my Cabin, And be part of my family..." She was really unsure how to go about this.

 Hunter nodded his head slowly "I would be greatly appreciative of that Arcadia, unlike your kind I do not eat normal food I drink tea and require it for my body to function properly." Hunter listened to what Arcadia wanted him for. He found their request agreeable. Then again after the months, he had waited if someone asked him to hunt monsters in the wild he likely would have accepted that offer as well. Working for a circus sounded like a good way to learn more about daydreams and nightmares. "I accept your offer Arcadia." Hunter said and waited for the ribbon to be removed from his box so they could go pay for him and leave this store for good. Hunter did look sadly at the other dolls in the store he wished this practice would go away. The things he had read online showed him that no other race was treated like property and many nightmares and daydreams didn't like the idea of dolls being sold like objects. Dolls learned, some dolls felt, they could breed with nightmares and daydreams with the help of a battery. So why weren't all dolls treated with fairness and freedom to live their own lives?

 Arcadia swooshed over to the front till and informed the person she'd like to purchase a tea for Hunter and would like to let him out of his cage. She carefully bought the teacup back in a to-go cup and waited while the nightmare at the till fumbled with keys etc. Arcadia followed his eyes to the others dolls "I wish I could take everyone... It seems really unfair you guys being treated like this, I'm sorry Hunter Jubilee."

 Hunter accepted the tea so he could get out of this place he had been wanting to leave for a long time but had been trapped waiting for a family, he could only hope the others would find families or there would be a way to lobby to free all dolls to live their own lives. He nodded to Arcadia "Thank you for understanding my..." he searched for the words, was it a feeling that he was feeling bad for the others or just logical that this was not fair treatment for any being even a being that had been created by someone else. But then did any nightmare or daydream have the right to their freedom they came from magic stones? No one knew how dolls were made so who was to say they weren't just as deserving of freedom. Hunter drank his tea and got ready to leave with Arcadia.

 Arcadia Led Hunter Jubilee to the till and Paid for him, accepted his owners papers and officially he was Hers... what an odd feeling 'Owning' someone! "I'm really excited to get to know you Hunter Jubilee - Do you mind if I just call you Hunter? I'm excited for you to meet the rest of the Circus!"

 Hunter shook his head and then said "No I do not mind if you call me Hunter, come let us leave this place I long ago tired of being here and wish to see the world of the below outside of the internet." Hunter said in his calm tone. "I also wish to discover other things such as imbuing stones, infants and freshlings seem interesting creatures and I wish to learn more about them, perhaps you would be willing to teach me about such things?" He calmly asked Arcadia. He has read that beings asked others to help them imbue stones all the time.

 Arcadia nodded enthusiastically, she had been thinking recently about Imbuing soul stones and was excited about the idea of being a parent; "Sure Hunter I'd love to teach you everything I know, Though that's not alot" She laughed at her self-deprecating joke "Let's get you home, I'm really excited for our journey together to begin!" And with that - they left the shop.
