Azazel had taken a detour on his way to the lab to see Wagner, he had sense something that he had not felt on what felt like an eternity. He was giddy with excitement, the prospect of it being that which he craved. He lurked the forest, following what it was he felt. Then he spotted them, the Angel and a wide grin split across his face. He began to stalk them, watching them. Curiously wondering why the Angel was walking in the forest and not simply heading straight back to the divine, oh their mistake would be his gain. He could tell the Angel felt his presence as they started to get startled, as much as he loved stalking them, he simply pulled out his blow dart and put it to his mouth and then shot it. The Angel felt the dart hit him and pulled it out confused and feeling wobbly.

Azazel walks out from where he hid and said “Why hello there little pet. I found you” Pausing as he took in his prize “And now you will never escape me.” He laugh in triumph as he started walking toward Mariel.”Oh look at you.” He said with glee “You will be glorious in my lab.” a tone of sadistic pleasure rang through his words.

Mariel was just kind of staring at Azazel as though his brain hadn’t quite caught up with things…which it hadn’t. Eventually he said rather slowly, “Poison doesn’t affect me,” despite all evidence to the contrary. He was still holding the dart rather dumbly as he stared at the stranger.

Azazel got right up to him and hooks his finger under their chin “mhmm sure…” he reach with his other hand to his lab coat pocket. Pulling out the collar, don’t worry we will figure out what all you can handle.” Running his thumb on mariel lip, before going to put the collar on him. As Azazel got close enough to touch him, he could feel the divinity radiating off of him; subtle but very tangible to anyone susceptible to damage from holy magic. There was even a faint halo-like glow barely visible behind his head – and certainly not visible to mortals. When the collar clicked into place there was a flare of that magic like something unconscious in him lashing out before he swayed and then collapsed.

Azazel grinned brightly as he took note “oh my little angel, im about to let you know pleasures that your pure brain can’t even comprehend.” He caught mariel and picked him up. Give a sharp whistle as a van that been lurking out of sight pulls up. He put mariel in it “get me the markers” he instructs.”i need to put some runes on the collar and the cuffs to ensure our angel can’t escape.” An intern went searching and grabbed a marker and hands it to Azazel. He would begin to draw the runes chanting. Then pulls mariel hands behind him and cuffs him. Running his fingers at the angels cheeks “oh you are going to make a fine pet.”He grins wide. “to nervana labs,time to assess that place.”

The messenger was a limp noodle as he was carried rather undignifiedly to the van. There was some consciousness there as he gave a groan and tensed when his arms were bound, but not enough coherency to actually struggle. The runes, however, certainly got a reaction as his body tried to go into self defense, his skin gaining a soft shimmering glow and his hair suddenly jetting out several feet longer…though not to its full length. By the time the runes were complete he was still once more, and looking much like a regular human with even that pale glow suffused into nothingness.

Azazel grinned and just leans to lick mariel face as the van drove to the labs. “Most excellent, I get to have a fun playong with a new pet while i go over problems at Nirvana.” Pulling mariel against him “perhaps a little experimenting in the labs” Hw pondered as he looked Mariel over. “I dont think I could wait till mine.” Running his hand over mariel chest.

Though Mariel couldn’t exactly resist, teetering as he was on the brink of consciousness, he was still clutching that dart as though it hadn’t quite sunk in yet that it had done something to him. The poor guy was still operating on ten minutes ago time. As if to express that, he replied, “I’m very smart, can comprehend many things,” responding to the statements made a few minutes prior.

Azazel laughed “how adorable.” When the van pulls to the shack he say “lets give the pet time, i want him a little more coherent. ” pulling mariel chin so he can stare at him “truly I found a treasure, perhaps its a good sign.” His body was hot to the touch, almost feverish, but there was no recognition in those gray eyes of what was going on. They were hazy and filled with a vague sense of confusion. Meanwhile, his body worked feverishly to burn off the toxin that was incapacitating him. His mind was indeed coming back rather quickly, but the runes kept him tame…tame enough that he was able to hide just how coherent he was as the poison burned away. There was no resistance as his chin was pulled, only a slight furrowing of his brows.The van parks and Azazel pulls mariel out of the van. Pulling him along to the shack and got in the elevator. Not really caring if he dragged the Angel along, reaching the elevator and pressing the button to find Voltaire.

Voltaire had been waiting in it as he saw mariel ” new toy?” He ask him

“Yes found him wandering lost.” Azazel told Voltaire

Mariel was standing, though only barely. The celestial stared right through Voltaire for several moments before stating in a vague and distant way, “You don’t have the papers to be here, sir.”

Azazel laughed “oh he is delightful…angelic too. I know they are your favorite. Perhaps you like to corrupt him with me.”

Voltaire stared at mariel “angel? How terrible. Waste of a race.” He looks at azazel “tempting. Perhaps i might indulge.” He reach for mariel chin “could he even handle both of us?”
