Valérian found a small tear in his cloak as he fidgeted, waiting for his cue. Luckily he was skilled with a needle and thread, since Aritha was on stage. And he had a few minutes before he was on, so he slipped further backstage in search of what he needed to repair his costume. He'd tripped earlier and torn it.
"Come on, where is that stupid little box..." he mumbled, quietly digging through the various things around backstage. Aritha usually kept it around here somewhere...

A shadow perched on the wall above. He had been waiting. Hoping. Hoping... mostly for an idea.
He wanted to help these people from what was coming and endear himself to the local Courts both, but Frog was way better with subtleties like that than he was, so he'd left most of the plan up to his dear little snake. Meanwhile, he wanted to have his fun.
He wanted to see what this 'theatre' thing talked about in such rapturous detail was all about.
Quick as a wink, he flicked a finger, and a little sewing box appeared in an open closet. It shone briefly, and then was entirely normal.

Valérian found it with a soft sound of triumph. "I knew it was around here somewhere..."
He opened it and dug out the needle with some red thread. Within moments he was sitting carefully, closing the tear in his cloak deftly, and with time to spare. Too much time... the butterflies were forming in his stomach again as he fiddled with the mask in his hands. Last night... was it normal to be MORE nervous on the last day?

As soon as Valérian was done, the sewing box disappeared.
A brief moment after that, something landed on him with a thump, the door was shut behind him with a soft click, and the thumping-noise was behind him; then, there were arms around him, one pinning his arms behind him, and the other covering his mouth with a hand that felt very... strange.
"Now," the voice said against Valérian's ear, "don't flip out, don't make noise, don't mess your costume, and in short, don't be scared, and we'll do this with you completely unharmed and everyone happy."

Valérian stiffened, his eyes wide. He swallowed weakly, struggling to breathe. His head lifted up a little, trying to get his nose up a little. He couldn't breathe... Finally his head jerked free enough that he could take in a breath. His pale eyes were wide. If it still did such things, his heart would be racing so rapidly he'd be sick.
Okay, so why did it have to be NOW that he got so sick... stupid... Things always went wrong when he was enjoying himself. Valérian shifted uncomfortably, his throat dry. His breathing quickened as he struggled a little in the strange grip. Don't mess my costume? What the hell...?

"I'll ask you this once, and nod or shake your head. I'm going to help you and your friends and lock you in here for the night. Give me your costume and be a good little dead thing, and this will be much easier. Will you consent to this?"

Valérian swallowed again, his breathing still rapid. It took him a moment to realize exactly what the stranger had asked. He nodded very slowly, fearing what this person might do. He wasn't stupid enough to disagree; this person might kill him and after so long, he had very powerful self-preservation instincts. Whatever it took to keep him alive.

"Good."
Angel kissed the man on the cheek, and he fell asleep.

Valérian's head slumped immediately against Angel's shoulder, his entire body limp. The mask fell from his fingers, landing face up to glare at the two above it. His barely open eyes looked at Angel with faint fear, then closed completely as he nearly slipped from Angel's arms.
His last thoughts were vague... He could have sworen what he saw was a student... one of the academy vampires. How was a child able to subdue him so quickly?
