But it was long enough.
The irkoans as a race do not feel emotions, sure they derive something resembling satisfaction from completing tasks and maintaining order, and equally derive something resembling irritation when prevented from completing a task or being unable to maintain order, but it is not the same. It should say something then that the official currently trying to maintain order in the break room was deriving something resembling anger from the situation.
Many of the ministers were claiming not to know who they were, where the cabinet room was, what it was, what they were expected to do in there or all of the above. One human minister was uncontrollably shrieking at the sight of the irkoan; between horrified yells and attempts to pull out his own eyes he claimed to have never seen an irkoan before. It was when one minister claimed to have forgotten how to walk that the irkoan snapped and stormed out of the room.
Obfuscation was blissfully unaware of the effects it was having on the gathered ministers. They were all feeling it’s influence to a certain extent, though arguably the worst affected was the raven hivemind. Though there was only one in the break room Obfuscation’s influence was rapidly spreading to all ravens in the building.
Obfuscation was growing tired of playing in the soil; he flowed across the floor between the various booths for the various different species, eventually coming to the edge of the yahlang pool. It reached out and touched the water timidly. It stared in wonder at the ripples as they flowed across the surface of the pool, around the ceremonial lilypads and the corpse of a human minister who had forgotten that he couldn’t actually breathe water. After watching the ripples fade, Obfuscation took a moment and jumped into the water, causing a splash which more or less everyone forgot instantly.
