TOUHOU REFERENCE??????????

You don't know what a TOUHOU is, but you're willing to bet it's got something to do with something your parents called JAPANESE LOANWORDS.

You could freeze the water and walk on it. How far can you hit something with cryokinesis, though?

You have the kick to do that, you're pretty sure, but you're also not sure how good you are at PROJECTING your power. Worse, who knows when the ICE would THAW OUT, if you USED TOO MUCH FORCE. Besides, have you tried to pluck a frozen bird lately?

If you freeze the duck hard enough you could just walk over and pick it up- frozen dinner. Alternatively, shoot it, then freeze it underwater to make it float. Or use empathy (if you can reach) to destroy its senses. Then pick up a catatonic duck.

Hm, that last one might be a plan. And with a half-mile reach, you could probably manage it. Of course the trick is to make it not panic...

You start setting up an AREA and then use EMPATHY to SENSE EMOTIONS.

Yeah, like you thought, most of the minds around you are animals. This whole array of sensing powers is WEIRD, like you're HOOKED UP TO AN INFORMATION SMORGASBORD. It's kind of ADDICTING.

Hm... Prey, predators... You'd hoped you could tell the good from the bad with it, but other than being able to single out those that are clearly SICK or INJURED, you really can't tell.

There are some FISH in one of these ponds, though, so you decide to STUN a few of them with DESTROY FEELINGS and do THE FREEZY THING.

[11 of 11 points left- MAJOR COLD. When it absolutely, positively, has to be a block of ice TODAY.]

It's not exactly SPORT FISHING, but it'll do; you string them up and start heading back.

This has taken approximately an hour and a half, and has secured enough food for most of the rest of the day, as far as meat's concerned.

Well. Once you get the fish out of this BLOCK OF ICE. Hm. That might be a snag in the plan. Well, except that if you have control of COLD... That should mean...

[10/11 PP- ELIMINATE COLD. THAW THAT THAR TEN POUND TURKEY.]

Hm. Well. It looks like you also have a food-preservation system, too- if you want to bother to make blocks of ice, you could see if you could make an ICEBOX, but you would need a container for that.

You're not sure where Alice is right now, but she's not in the CAVE.
