She'd try making a stick out of Glass and toss it into the door

"I guess this is the exit? Wait..."Her doppelganger disappeared when Konoe was distracted by the door
The stick hit the door and nothing happened, after all it is closed and Konoe only have to open it by the handle, at least it was not an illusion"I guess this is the exit? Wait..."

Konoe would be perplexed, but reluctant at opening the door. Though, if this was to save Yoshioka, she'd do anything.The stick hit the door and nothing happened, after all it is closed and Konoe only have to open it by the handle, at least it was not an illusion
It had written: Altruism
"..." the cocoon remained still and was gonna stay that way for quite a long time. Konoe, on the other hand, woke up and— in her stupor— looked around for anything else strange.
There was nothing- a void. Lakes across a river, drowning across the horizon. Her gaze would point nowhere and bear no direction toward what journey one can take.Yoshioka for example had from her neck to a right arm complete and part....
Rex was starting to cough from the dust.
"E-Everyone is fine?" He ask
"..." she was unsure of what answer to say at that question. Partly due to how she could think or reply rather logically then illogically."How you feel Yoshioka?" Rex get close to see how she was
He give her a hand "Well, because we don't have much time left" Rex said, looking at his limb covered in dark matter, the group was barely at the third level and they have two more left."..." she was unsure of what answer to say at that question. Partly due to how she could think or reply rather logically then illogically.
"Fine." was her sole answer, she'd best keep this all in.
(I'm assuming Konoe is here?)He give her a hand "Well, because we don't have much time left" Rex said, looking at his limb covered in dark matter, the group was barely at the third level and they have two more left.
(Everyone is here)(I'm assuming Konoe is here?)
Konoe, upon entering the door, now sees the group after what seemed to be so long. Her crystal eyes a little weary, mostly forcing her attention towards Yoshioka, whom she rushed to help her get up first than Rex.He give her a hand "Well, because we don't have much time left" Rex said, looking at his limb covered in dark matter, the group was barely at the third level and they have two more left.
(bruh, seriously?)whom she rushed to help her get up first than Rex.
Deel woke up and looked around before lighting up in his palm a fire to see in the cave betterEveryone opened their eyes, they were lying on the ground in the dirt of what seems to be a cave, they only had dust although the most worrying thing was the stain of dark matter already covered complete parts of the body, Yoshioka for example had from her neck to a right arm complete and part, Old Man had his only arm affected, Rex had his entire back and Noah had one leg and her left hand covered in dark matter.
Rex was starting to cough from the dust.
"E-Everyone is fine?" He ask
"Xordy..." both Konoe and Yoshioka said, "Jinx.." replied the latter.Xordenia was staring to her surroundings and wondered what it was all about this place they got all in
The cave had strange scribbles, the old man could barely see anything, the light above them began to flicker.Deel woke up and looked around before lighting up in his palm a fire to see in the cave better

"Master Yos! Master Kon! You two are alright!""Xordy..." both Konoe and Yoshioka said, "Jinx.." replied the latter.
"Not the time for jokes, Yaomu...." the witch sighed.
"Phenomenal.....yet another soon to be macabre place...."
The cave had strange scribbles, the old man could barely see anything, the light above them began to flicker.
"I don't know what it says here, but, these marks seem made out of pure terror, like a warning." The old man
(Ok, for this i will wait a full aswner for everyone)
"I'm glad you're safe too..." replied the exhausted Yoshi, "Yep, same here.." added Konoe."Master Yos! Master Kon! You two are alright!"
Went to hug both by wrapping her arms around the necks
During her hug, Konoe would pat Xordenia, while the other asks, "You think they hint to a creature of sorts?"The cave had strange scribbles, the old man could barely see anything, the light above them began to flicker.
"I don't know what it says here, but, these marks seem made out of pure terror, like a warning." The old man
"I dont know, it have a X over a eye" he sayDuring her hug, Konoe would pat Xordenia, while the other asks, "You think they hint to a creature of sorts?"
"That could help, but... not much clues....""I dont know, it have a X over a eye" he say
"I also missed you a lot! Both of you!""I'm glad you're safe too..." replied the exhausted Yoshi, "Yep, same here.." added Konoe.
"X marks the target they say""That could help, but... not much clues...."
"We can do some "catching up" much later after this..." Konoe replied, "Rest assured, we missed you too...""I also missed you a lot! Both of you!"
"Hmmm..." Yoshioka would hum, "Got any idea what to do with that X?""X marks the target they say"
Says Deel
"Oh..ahem...right! Lets move meow!""We can do some "catching up" much later after this..." Konoe replied, "Rest assured, we missed you too..."
"Do i look like a pirate?...""Hmmm..." Yoshioka would hum, "Got any idea what to do with that X?"
"You sorta world given the right clothing...""Do i look like a pirate?..."
Responded to her
"How the blazes do i even look anywhere near the same as a sailing unshaved smelling criminal to begin with Yoshi...""You sorta world given the right clothing..."
"I dunno, I kinda was out of my mind when I answered. Cuz... y'know... I woke up from that...""How the blazes do i even look anywhere near the same as a sailing unshaved smelling criminal to begin with Yoshi..."
Looked at her with a "really?" glare
"What are you? A butterfly?""I dunno, I kinda was out of my mind when I answered. Cuz... y'know... I woke up from that..."
She looks behind her, the decaying cocoon where she came from. Closer looks reveal a husk of "Yoshioka".
"It would be a little long if I explain it. So, if you're actually willing to hear me rant, I'll give you an exposition dumb....""What are you? A butterfly?"
"How long we talking....""It would be a little long if I explain it. So, if you're actually willing to hear me rant, I'll give you an exposition dumb...."
"A bit, like around 5 minutes...""How long we talking...."
"•sigh• just start already...."
"Ahem..." clearing her throat, this indeed will be a long one.
"For context- as you and many others know- I fought against the Destroyer and lost two things:
She said, raising each finger.
- Memory Replay
- Memory Replay: Self"
"This is due to the blade and the power the destroyer held, a form of energy that replicates and/or destroys part of the user's abilities. I once tried controlling it using Replay, but it didn't work- either due to my initial experience or due to lack of proper control... more so leaning toward both rather than one. This made me lose the ability to use the previous replays from the last one, be limited up to 100% output with Stack, and the fact that I can never recover Replay Self." showing Deel her attempt at using it from the palm of her hand, but nothing would even appear.
"How this correlates to the cocoon is something I made during our escape. At the time I made the "domain"- I tried multiple things:
The first two are simple power differences between Cyn and me, but the third was something I found to be a good- no, an even better technique than Self. You see, using Self requires me to replay the exact moment in the past and have that be replayed into reality, which was more taxing since I had to make exact calculations on what moment I wanted to replay. With the VSMs instead, all I need to do is to make a "fake me" that I could emulate the use of Replay Self from."
- Using the X-ray, which didn't work as the black hole would just absorb them
- The birch planet, which was something I tried to emulate in that instant, but failed; and...
- Void Simulated Memories
Slowly, but surely, her hair and eyes would change slowly during her lecture.
"As for the "husk" and the form I am in right now, I've essentially "ejected" the technique of "Memory Replay: Self" given I kinda lost it, alongside most the damage I incured from the fights..."
Complete with a brand new red and black outfit, black hair, and crimson eyes. Her gaze remained indifferent as she continued explaining.
"I wouldn't exactly call this a "power up", more so just as a way for me to heal and- using my time in the cocoon- think about the techniques I want to improve upon. Also, another reason for me to improve the use of Loansharks while we're here." she added.
"I know I look a little different, but, yeah. That's all!"
(Reference?)"You remind me so much of another girl nearly identical to your appearance and gaze....she was a human....yet her aura was so intimidating even monsters would not dare attack her blindly...along her skills with a blade being so powerful she could kill targets even in one good slash..."
His eyes squint a little bit afterwards
"A shame she couldnt be a part of a group for anyone....she never had the chance to do that...even time itself can prevent somebody so terrifying to make a name for themselves more well known from unforseen events...."
"Only your appearance, everything else was describing her from my experience of encountering her, you wont ever be anyway anything like her, she was made to be unique like that"(Reference?)
"Really? I actually didn't plan to look like this, I'll tell you that..." she shrugged, "However, I'm not exactly that intimidating... so, I'm afraid the comparison of looks end there... Not unless you got any more references..."
"Ahh, I see..." she nods, grabbing a pouch behind her alongside the Loansharks from the decayed cocoon, opening up a strange spherical object."Only your appearance, everything else was describing her from my experience of encountering her, you wont ever be anyway anything like her, she was made to be unique like that"
Afterwards he walks a little with the flame in his hand around looking for anything else written on walls
His eyes would be opening a little wider then usual, it was a sign of surprise, which was a bit obvious"Hey, Deel, if we're going to be stuck here for a while and we can't look for any clue... You think we can train and spar a little?" before shoving 5 chips stacked on her mouth.
"I mean if I told you that this "old me" was just a facade to hide my real emotions..."His eyes would be opening a little wider then usual, it was a sign of surprise, which was a bit obvious
"I almost forgot how much you changed since i first met you, your old self wouldnt even try to ask that"
