OOC: @Salty: Still if he's breathing he would be ingesting enough for the effect of the gas to take hold at the pace of a normal person.
@Fur: Tell me that Valvatorez and Fenrich don't have pores in their skin. Pores breath regardless of whether the person themselves does. I was just hoping to go with the simpler explanation of the characters ingesting the gas by breathing but coming into contact with it would also have a similar reaction albeit with slower results.
@Outis: It's not poison, it's an incapacitating agent. If it was poison the characters would be choking. Plus last I checked Lethargy doesn't count as an injury.
@Silver: lolwat? Also timed bob? I don't think he would be very happy. Use Firefox, comes with a spell check inbuilt. Granted it only has the US English Pack though.
The occupants in the room would feel their bodies getting heavier and heavier and would be having a hard time standing.

As Eve follows Bryce through the facility's hallways, she muses over his question for a moment before saying "I suppose that you could say that I did." She was about to continue when she heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind her and turned around to see two people that she hadn't met before hurrying after them before blurting out a question which she couldn't quite make out. "I'm sorry, could you repeat your question? I didn't quite get that.

@Nile, pores don't work that way
Misconceptions and Myths
Many people are convinced that we pull in oxygen through our pores, and cosmetic companies capitalize on this belief -- at least through unspoken messages -- by claiming that their products "let the skin breathe." If pressed, the manufacturers would probably say what they really mean is that the cosmetics and creams are non-comedogenic, meaning they don't block pores. This prevents acne from building up, not suffocation. Some companies take it a step further and claim that their products contain oxygen that your skin will absorb. Since your skin doesn't have the capacity to absorb and use oxygen, dermatologists warn that this is totally bogus. The closest thing to pure oxygen in a skin care product is benzoyl peroxide, which kills acne-causing bacteria by oxidizing fatty acids.
Many people believe the urban legend that Buddy Ebsen, cast as the Tin Man in "The Wizard of Oz," nearly died because the aluminum in the makeup that gave him his silvery sheen clogged his pores. In fact, Ebsen did wind up in the hospital and was replaced, but it was attributed to an allergic reaction or an infection in his lungs caused by the aluminum dust. Needless to say, the makeup was modified for new scarecrow Jack Haley, and he danced through the role without incident.
Another famous movie incident involves 1964's "Goldfinger." After discovering his secretary has betrayed him, the villain Goldfinger paints her entirely -- hair and all -- with gold paint. Looking at her lifeless body, James Bond explains that the paint closed the pores she needed for respiration. In 1964, it seems, this was a medically accepted belief. The filmmakers took no chances and were careful to leave a patch of actress's Shirley Eaton's skin unpainted when shooting the scene.

Well hang on. I'd consider knockout gas a toxin of sorts, and I'd also imagine the Phoenix would do something about that. Also, how is the room sealed? What sort of doors?Nile McMorrow said:
OoC: @Nile: Majeh is hardly a normal person. For a variety of reasons. One being that he's just flat out stronger than most and a master of basically every martial art skill one can master. Including the ability to negate pressure points and such simply by flexing his muscles. I suspect he could stand up a little longer than normal based on such things.
@Furi: Depends. Sleep and Poison are generally classed as negative status effects. One might call them body effects as well, so something that cures poison may well cure sleep.

"Valvatorez is with them. If they ran in to anything needing stealth, yeah they've run into problems." Bryce says to Yeul. "Oh really? Lots of brothers and sisters?" Bryce responds to Eve.
OOC: @Fur: I don't mean breath in the literal sense. I mean 'breath' as in the expansion and contraction of the pore's holes. Like how your body can absorb water when you're submerged in it for too long. Well it's either Val and Fen end up sleeping for a few minutes or they stay awake and end up going 'The hell?' as people disappear around them...
@Outis: I guess you could say the gas could be considered a toxin however the effects themselves aren't lethal and can't be healed as such. It would be like using the Phoenix to heal someone so that they don't fall asleep and really don't think it can do that.
@Silver: It should be automatic if you're typing in Firefox and words should underline in red. If not then go to the orange menu button in the top left hand corner and click on the options button. When the options menu comes up make sure 'Advanced' is selected at the top and then the 'General' sub tab is selected. Then in the 'Browsing' section of the 'General' tab it should have a check box next to the words 'Check my spelling as I type' so tick that then press OK button at the bottom of the menu. It should then automatically check your spelling as you type and underline anything that's wrong or seems wrong in red and offer possible corrections when you right click the word.

@Furi & @Nail: Well this ain't a video game. As far as I'm concerned, if it can be considered an unnatural effect, it should be effected, if not cured. Besides, as far as I know, no where in the Resistance universe is it clearly defined what a Phoenix can and can't do, so I'm exploiting that.
But getting sleepy is, in most normal situations, a normal effect caused by your own body. This sleepiness is being caused by something alien, and should, I feel, be affected.Nile McMorrow said:
@hachy *hic* fine, wered i putted my keys? oh there they are *screach* *crash* *burning* Your probably right, later guys
OoC: @Nile, Ok sure skin can absorb water, but that's just the skin when submerged in water. I'm positive that some gas floating around wouldn't absorb into the skin too much, and even if it did it would be stuck in the skin, and I would bet that that wouldn't effect them in any way

and night mate
@All, I'm off too, please no more time freezes in the future :|
Holly slumps to the floor due to the gas. "Ssssoooo Sssspiny...." She said, then fell unconscious.

Black fired at the door with her arm cannon, using the last of her strength, she also passes out.

"The others. Do you think the others are having difficulty doing what they set out to do?" Yeul said to Eve, sto[[ing mid sentance when she heard Bryce's answer. "Ah. I see... I was wondering why this is taking as long as it does." Looking back at Eve, Yeul bowed her head slightly. "Appolagies for the lack of introductions, but it goes without saying that this is not the right time for such things."
Fearing a posible ambush, Caius began walking infront of Yeul and drew his sword. "At least they will not be hard to track down. We had only follow the path of destruction."

OOC: @Outis: I just checked the Resistance wiki and it confirmed my suspicions. The Phoenix is a Chimeran weapon so I hardly think it was developed to reduce sleepiness. Additionally, it states that the Phoenix's function is cellular regeneration meaning it heals by fixing dead or damaged cells. The gas isn't destroying cells or killing things inside the characters ergo the Phoenix can not heal the effect.
@Fur: 1. The room is air locked meaning the air within it would slowly be displaced with the gas as it enters.
2. I stated before that the air in the cell was chilled however with the influx in heat from the increased occupants would cause it to start heating and rising meaning the gas coming from the vents which would be cooled would be fall and be around that characters' level for longer.
3. Then they miss out.
Edit: @Fur: Can I just ask is it stated in Disgaea if Valvatorez and Fenrich don't breath?
