[Appearing to OOC note more about effects as requested!
Right now, it is definitely going to seem like an incredibly bizarre gas leak, since it's not just odorless but definitely doesn't seem to be doing anything. Because wandering aimlessly is pretty much all it's going to make people do; this is a neuroanesthetic, so those affected will either just be really tired and out of it, or think everything is completely normal. They may be a little bit slower to respond to things. Standard anticholinergic side effects may apply, as poor Jedao is demonstrating for us.
"Completely normal" is not the case, because even those who aren't feeling sedate are going to be very responsive to suggestion! Whereby 'very' I mean 'completely,' so this part of the plan is not utterly madcap unless anyone besides our team was somehow immunized beforehand. Since Ione made this variation specifically for this purpose, only other time-travelers or people in hazmat gear are going to be protected ...
In retrospect it will seem completely pointless to all these people, because they'll have just gotten some GI problems, slurred speech and vertigo at most for their troubles, since it's as if none of this ever happened. Not everyone will even remember the gas being released; this is a variant of Different Brains Remember Different Stuff. Some might. No one will recall what happens while it is active, which absolutely means Virmad can now say whatever he wants, and Seyli could tell Jedao they have to go round up some cattle and a) he'll think this is reasonable, b) won't recall later thinking this was reasonable or being told it, and therefore won't have any idea who Seyli is in the first place.
Ione will have requested to be on hand for when the effects wear off, in order to take the blame for side effects and also make sure there haven't been any scary reactions ... in Jedao, she's pretty sure no one is concerned if someone gets really sick back at the convention hall since they'll have access to medical care that isn't her.]
