Valérian woke with a groan, holding his head. What on earth had happen... where was his clothes? At least he had his underclothes on... hot as they had made him on stage, he was grateful he was fully covered. Thank you Lord for small blessings.
He stood carefully, moving to the door and trying it. Nope, locked. Of course. Wouldn't have wanted him to walk out on stage while the man was pretending to be him. Valérian sighed, letting his forehead hit the wood. Well, he was in the costume shop... there had to be something he could wear until he could get to his rooms and changed. Someone had to open the door eventually, right?
Pulling on something that fit, still wearing his lifts, he moved back to the door and fiddled with it. Maybe there was a lockpick around here... He searched through the room again, sighing. No such luck. "Looks like I'm stuck for a bit. Lovely. And with a killer headache to boot. Just wonderful."

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the outside of the door.

"Thank God! Can you open the door, please?" Valérian nearly begged. "I've been stuck for I don't know how long and my clothes have been stolen. I'd like to get back to my room and get into something... mine."

"Valérian? Seriously?" Smoke replied with surprise, then attempted to open the door. It made a few half-hearted click-click noises, but refused to budge.
"Are you okay in there for the moment?" he continued wearily. "This... door is not supposed to have a lock."

Valérian groaned, "Just fucking great. Yeah, I'll be okay, but you might want to stay out of my way once you let me out. I'm really hungry, and my head hurts like hell. I'm sure I'll be in control, but you know... just to be safe. Wouldn't want to make the same mistake that got me this job, after all."
He slumped against the wall next to the door and slid to the floor, covering his face for a moment. "I don't even remember what happened. There was a tear in my cape, so I came back to fix it and then someone grabbed me and... everything is black. Which is probably part of why I'm so hungry."
Pausing, he blinked and looked at the door. "Smoke, are you okay? You sound... tired. What all did I miss last night?"

A faint sigh could be heard from the other side of the door.
"Me? Oh, I'm... fine. Great. Compared to everyone else," he said sadly. "We were attacked last night. You might want to stay away from Guinevere for a while, by the by. And we might have to... do... things to get castle back in shape."
More rattling sounds. "Think I can get this..."

Valérian stood at the other side of the door. "Think it would help if I pulled on this side?"

"Probably not, it's a-" the doorknob sparked visibly, and there was a shout and a hiss from Smoke's side. "-it's magic."
He sighed again. "I'm not awake enough for this. If there's a screwdriver in there, we could try just taking the knob off- it's all on that, I think- or I could grab Hoshi." Who may or may not be willing, depending on what stage of coping Tristan is in right now, I think.

Valérian sighed heavily, looking at the door. "We could get someone who can just rip the door off the hinges and worry about fixing it later... Whoever it was that locked me up, they REALLY didn't want me getting out."
He thumped his shoulder against it, sighing again. He was stronger than he had been as a human, certainly... but not that much stronger. Unfortunately, he was still a seventeen year old boy in most respects. A short rather thin one even. "I'll look for one, but I doubt he would have left anythi- Ah ha!"
Pouncing on the toolbox he'd noticed, he dug through it and found several. "Ah, he missed a few. I'll do my best to get it off on this side... you'll have to get what you can on that side if you can..."

"Eh..." Smoke thought about that one, getting to work on breaking the thing off. If he focused on removing the knob from the rest of it, there should be enough power to... "Like who?"
"You have no idea who stuck you on there?"

"Not a clue, I never saw his face and didn't recognize the voice. It felt like a vampire, but I bet it was a Fae," Valérian said, working on the screws holding the knob on the door. It took a moment, but he finally got it open so he could look at the latching mechanism. He reached to touch it and was shocked painfully. He yelped and jerked away from the door, rubbing his hand.
"Damn it. That must be one hell of a spell."

"Fae... yeah. Someone in your costume- definitely a fae- did a number on the audience last night. I'm not sure what they hoped to accomplish."

Valérian's lip curled. "Yeah... I want that back, and the chances are slight. Fuck. That costume is almost as old as I am. Is there anything else I can do to help you?"
He rubbed his temples, closing his eyes. His fangs ached horribly, his mouth was dry... he didn't often let himself get this... thirsty. At least he wasn't blind with bloodlust. But he really wanted to get out and he really wanted to get something to drink. Whatever had been done to him to knock him out must have really drained him.

"Right now I-"
wugga-wugga crack clang roll-roll-rolllllll clack
"-I'm more interested in making sure everyone's okay." Smoke tried pulling on the now-knobless door. There was a bit of grunting and breathing. "...Okay, that didn't work. I'm either going to have to get Hoshi to break whatever this is, or I guess I could try getting someone to rip it off the hinges."

Valérian sighed, leaning against the wall again. "Don't worry about it. Just be warned that when you let me out, you might want to have something for me. I'm getting worried about my self-control. Go make sure everyone's okay. Maybe if we're lucky, by the time you can get to me, I'll be passed out and unable to hurt anyone."
He just slumped slowly to the ground, putting his head in his arms. "Thanks for trying, Smoke. I'll be okay. Come back to me when you have the time."

"Man, don't talk like that," Smoke said sadly. "You'll be fine, okay? It'll just be a minute, I promise. I'm sorry this was done to you..." he sighed.
"All right. I'll be right back."

"I told you I'd be fine. It's not like I'm hurt or anything. I'm just getting really thirsty. And I'm an eternal teenager, you have to expect some angst," he chuckled weakly. "Don't worry about me, I've been far worse. It's not like I'm to the point of accidentally committing murder again or anything."
He groaned and slapped a palm to his forehead. "Don't ask, please. I don't like talking about it. Just go make sure no one was too badly hurt and get back to me when you can. I'm not hurt at all."
