One Through Ten

((Author Note: Fixed all of the images by reuploading to imgur! Also, the hiatus isn't... over, officially, but I'll try to slip in updates when I can. I love these lil cyclops puppets, I couldn't abandon them for good.

Also, a brief recap here for those who don't remember what happened since the last update (understandable):

Spoiler
In a kingdom called Infinum, there are 10 little puppet cyclops things. It is their job to assist The Lawyer, who is executing The Will of the last and final king, King Infini X. The Lawyer is the only one who can execute The Will, which is good, because the kingdom has 10 separate sections, each one ruled by a Lord. These Lords are power hungry, and don't like each other. The end of The Will proclaims who will rule the whole kingdom next. No doubt the announcement of such a thing would throw the kingdom into war, and so The Lawyer hired to execute The Will is some manner of sloth man, to ensure that the execution goes as slowly as possible so that the kingdom has as much time of peace as possible.

For 150 years, that worked. Unfortunately, now The Lawyer is deceased- poisoned by an unknown source. To make matters worse, in his dying moments, he accidentally sent out a message to all The Lords saying that his task is complete. It is now up to The Assistants to pacify The Lords, find The Will, and finish executing it before everything goes to shit. The Will, unfortunately, is not with The Lawyer; in his last letter, The Lawyer revealed that The Will is with a person known only as Stumpus, who would send pieces of it to The Lawyer as needed. None of the assistants know who Stumpus is.

One just finished having a conversation with High Mage Vera; One intended to keep it a secret that The Lawyer was dead, but Vera found out via a scrying spell in the castle. Vera attempted to blackmail One into being her personal puppet, but One stood her ground. Still, Vera seems confident she could win any conflict. The assistants still have to answer calls from Head Scientist Anna, Hosts Donny & Penny, Lady Paloma, and Captain Wisp.

A brief description of who's calling can be seen here.
A brief description of all the lords can be seen here.

As for the assistants themselves, only One, Two, Five, Six, Eight, and Nine are extant. Three, Four, Seven, and Ten died in various accidents throughout the years. All of the siblings do not need to eat or breathe, and are all capable of flight, a hivemind telepathy with each other, and the ability to hear ghostly voices from another world. (That's you.) Along with that, One is capable of short range teleportation, Eight has natural fighting abilities and increased athletics, Six cannot be injured while sleeping and can heal from any injury, no matter how bad, within five minutes of falling asleep, Nine can receive prophecies from the stars when she dreams, and Five is incredibly intelligent and can derive the answers of complex equations in seconds.

Well that went well : D
>Let everyone know about the scrying spell, yay group telepathy, and ask who wants to talk to the Scientist & Hosts at the same time
>Also internal note: Vera is confident in an all out war that she will win. We probably shouldn't forget about that.

> Remember that Vera knew of the lawyer death through scrying spell, she probably hadn't time to change target yet but jsqut to be sure you may want to be prudent while talking out loud.

> Before you start with the next conversations, jsut look how your sibling are doing jsut to check quickly no one has done any faux pas.

Seeing as Eight was the only one not in the room for that conversation, One quickly brings her up to speed on how the meeting went.
"-Ok, thanks, Eight. Keep up the good work."

"-As for the REST of you. Put. Your clothes back on."
"But we are wearing clothes!"


"Your OWN clothes."


"You KNOW it's impossible for anyone to tell us apart like that."
"Ughhhh, you're so boring, One!"
"Aw, dress up time is over..."


"Here's your hat back Nine, now gimme my pants."
"Hmmmm no. They are too comfy."
"Nine. Please."
"Here's your hair back, Five..."
"Aw thanks, Two! I wish I could have hair like this all the time!
I can't see very well with it on though. I'd probably just end up setting even more things on fire!"
"Yeah, please...don't do that."

The Head Scientist next, perhaps in conference call with the Hosts to speed through the queue faster

Fair enough. The sooner this is over with, the better. One opens a group call with Hosts Donny & Penny and Head Scientist Anna.


Bip!
"Head Scientist."
"Oh, One... I'll admit, I was expecting The Lawyer."
"Oh. Yes, about that-"
"ooooooo"
"Wait, do you...hear that? It sounds like... singing?"
"Oh, erm, well, about THAT..."


"Oh my."
"OOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!"
