Yeah. It's a real pain, believe me.

[He is going to abandon the fork idea and take his gloves off again.]

Back home stuff isn't this flimsy.

[just_displaced]

Well, sure. Back home they probably know how to make stuff to compensate for your strength. Hey, that'd be a good untapped market here, wouldn't it? I bet we've got all kinds of people who have powers that they have a hard time dealing with in the City.

[hairdu]

Sorta what the gloves are about.

[He's picking up the pizza now and taking a big bite. Mmm, salty!]

For a while at school they were experimenting with energy draining and stuff. I'm the first Andromedan there, didn't really know what to do to stop me, k'know, breaking everything.

[just_displaced]

So what did they end up doing? I mean, obviously the gloves are helping, since you're not actively destroying the table -- although that'd be pretty cool, but I guess you shouldn't really do that in public, since you'd get us both kicked out of here -- but even with the gloves, you're bending forks. That can't be easy.

I just had to learn to control it better. Everyone's got stuff to work on growing up, right?

[just_displaced]

I guess. Not usually that kind of thing, though. Usually it's stuff like learning how to read, and dating, and whatever else it is kids your age do.

[hairdu]

Not much dating to do on a spaceship with the same eight people every day.

[just_displaced]

You could date one of those eight people. Except then if you broke up, I guess it could be really awkward. It'd be like me dating someone from my office.

[hairdu]

Someone from your office you also share a bunk with and can never get away from.

Believe me. I've thought about it. Don't see it working that well.

[just_displaced]

Actually, that's kinda how my office is, too. I'm there pretty much every minute of every day. In fact, I sleep there sometimes.

But now that you're here, you can date whoever you want. I mean, within age appropriate reason, of course.

[hairdu]

You could too. Theoretically.

[Keen to turn the conversation away from his love life? Only a little.]

[just_displaced]

A lot of things are theoretically possible. Like eating all the pizza in this place. Doesn't mean it's gonna happen.

[hairdu]

That unlikely, huh?
