ALASTAIR EISFLUCH | STERNRITTER
The sudden intrusion of several different entities, most of which could hardly be considered friendly with the Vandenreich, did little to set Alastair's mind at ease. Why so many creatures were interested in this operation or had at least noticed what was going on, he did not know. But seeing Saisei amongst the ranks of the gathered recruits did at least serve to focus his own thoughts on the matter at hand, even though the kid seemed rather irritated by the non-humans present. At least his fellow recruits pulled him back and kept him from getting in over his head.
But this was a problem for the commanders to deal with, he needn't get involved, and so he listened to the breakdown of orders and headed off towards the south side of the camp in short order. Delta 2 was his assignment, it wasn't the spearhead but there would likely be no shortage of action of the southern front given the turnout.
As he arrived at the location, the sight of a little girl seemingly waiting for him threw his previous line of thinking straight out of the proverbial window. Was this meant to be some kind of babysitting op?
"Good morning, miss. Are you lost? You probably don't want to be hanging around here, it's going to get pretty hectic soon enough."

Yaksha, The Überseele
"And so we stumble at the starting line. If you wish to detain my ward, then I have little choice but to join her. Her well-being is my responsibility while she is in this place, and I cannot in all good conscience leave her to your ministrations when you have already stated your intentions to be openly inimical to her well-being. You clearly know who I am, and the fact that you are willing to accept me as comrade means that you no doubt trust my judgments on matters pertaining to hollows. Yet you do not trust me to detain my own ward, should the need arise."
His gaze settled on the two agents intent on taking Calypso away, staring at them curiously. It was an unnerving, disarming sort of curiosity; the sort that made it seem like just by being looked at by him, they were being pinned to a corkboard and peeled layer by layer, every portion of their being observed and carefully hung out. There was no malice or heat in his stance or actions, but the message was conveyed every bit as effectively as if it were a threat. He simply began to move after her, the two agents assigned to him given little choice but to follow, or to await further instructions.
He stood tall and proud, hands behind his head, as he waited for the real festivities to start. They were gathering their manpower for now, an obvious show of force; but to whom remained unclear. Yaksha had very clearly arrived with his hands outstretched, and the girl by his side was at the very worst uncomfortable to be where she was. The creatures they were about to seek out and destroy wouldn't appreciate a true heirarchy or military force; to them, it was little more than a pack to be broken up and hunted individually. So why were they behaving as if this were still a war?
He would've risen a brow as the commander arrived, clearly prepared to get down to some manner of business. Before anything else, Yaksha rose a hand, clearly signalling silence, as he took a single step towards the commander, his tone still as calm and pleasant as ever. But beneath the placid surface, there was steel, something unyielding that made it very clear he had no intention of backing down on his stances, no matter what came next.
"A point of order, before you set on whatever interrogations or entertainment you consider appropriate to detained demons. Shadow Fall is a defunct organization. You won the war, last I understood. There is no longer any standing hostilities between your people and the danava, save those your own troops hold towards them. The name Asthavon remains sufficient cause to strip a person of their rights? For how long, Captain? Into perpetuity...? Because of a mere coincidence of taxonomy, my ward is to be treated as a threat to your way of life until the end of time? Then let us put this farce to an end, here and now. I will adopt young Calypso to be my own. Asthavon no more. Draw up the paperwork, and we will have it finished before your men even set off. And then we can resume what it is we set here to do."
He glanced towards the other one present in the tent, hesitating for perhaps three whole seconds as he tried to make sense of just what it was he was looking at...before giving up entirely, and gesturing with his freehand towards Ky'rin, like he was picking kittens out of a pound.
"This one, as well. If it makes it easier for you, consider me as their parole agent. Should they perform any act that interferes with your own objectives in Jefferson, I will personally detain them. Immediately."

INFANT ELDER GOD
Despite preparing itself, Ky'rin still wasn't ready for what was going to happen to her. Ky'rin, as far as it was concerned, was minding its own business and making a point to not really bother anybody. So, despite its best efforts, it still ended up captured by two shady-looking people. On instinct, it wanted to fight back, but it knew that if it did so that it would make the situation much worse. So for now, Ky'rin kept its eyes open and did as it was told. Honestly, it was just going to wait for the moment to escape but then an angel came to save it.
Or kind of an angel, more of a monster. But a monster with a heart, like Ky'rin. While it didn't really understand all the politics or reasoning behind any of this, it was super behind not being sidelined for the rest of the day. In a lapse of judgment, it opened its mouth.
"███ ████ █████...████" A feeling of clear excitement followed by regret would be translated to those in earshot. That... wasn't going to help its cause, it knew that. The only response she could give to those wanting answers was going to be a coy smile, because Ky'rin didn't really have the answers they were looking for. Hopefully, they could understand where it was coming from, but that was highly unlikely.
Ky'rin was detained for merely being in the vicinity, lord knows what would happen if they found out why it was there, let alone what it was. It promptly shut up and sat down, waiting for the whole thing to blow over.
"...█████" Regret, once again.

ENTER CALYPSO'S POST
Artist: SilvaGunner - Song: Hip Shop
Calypso was rather calm as the two agents came to collect her, a twinge of annoyance in her as she really felt no need to just get dragged off - at least they could have asked before just grabbing her, but she knew better than to seem like she was making a struggle, especially with how trigger finger some of the camp occupants seemed to be towards her mere presence. Asthavon - that name just left an incredibly bad taste in her mouth, not like those who moved to detain her would know she renounced the name well over a month ago.
However, she heard Yaksha's voice behind her, craning her neck to look at him. She was going to clear up what path she had chosen and make it very clear that she had nobody coming to swoop down, kill them all and collect her, however it seemed the hollow was well on intent on getting to that step immediately. She honestly didn't think those of Earth would recognize her - it was a long time since she last did anything, and it wasn't like she did anything bad, but of course there was that possibility they ended up knowing about her.
She was quiet, letting Yaksha speak his piece on not allowing her be taken, only quietly watching him as she was moments away from the tent, though something he said made her heart skip a beat, even if it was merely for a political save face - adopting her. Sentiment could be seen in her gaze for a moment, before it being shaken off to mild embarrassment for letting those deep familial yearnings peek through when they were in a much more serious situation. Okay, she had to say something;
"I've renounced the Asthavon name for a while, now. I rejected it with all my heart and soul."
She could call clearly to any within earshot of the current happenings, not doing a single thing to struggle against her captors,
"And before any of you think i've made this decision on a convenient whim; I made it very clear to any who would care in my home world that I had done so, and I have no interest in returning to the family. For what cruelties they've done, I have no interest in being a part of it; those who would commit such heinous things to anyone in this existence are no family to me."
She should have done this forever ago.. Well, better late than never, huh? She would release a fluttering sigh before continuing,
"I've come here with Yaksha with only peace in mind, a hope that nobody has to suffer today if we just work together. But, I understand if you don't trust me or are wary of what I could do.."
Her gaze flashed at the boy who practically radiated with resentment and anger, who it was towards was completely obvious, Or hate me to the ends of existence...
"..If being under close watch is what makes you more comfortable towards engaging with me, then it's alright. All I ask is for you to at least listen."
Her gaze would lower into the tent, likely ready for her wish to be dishonored and she just be put in the tent for the duration of this, looking to see the small creature she had seen earlier. She was surprised, especially by their attempts at communication; they probably got found and put back here. She kept herself tight lipped for the moment, but tried to quietly give the being a reassuring look - She didn't want any harm coming to it; she wasn't sure what these people were willing to do to things they didn't understand...
