John found himself up on the roof of the academy. He had spent his first week getting to know the grounds of the school and ascertained that the best way to find people was to go to the roof and watch for large groups of people walking in and out of the grounds. Within his first day, he had already managed to make a lot of enemies and possibly one friend, yet that wasn't enough. He would always go towards a group of people that he had targeted and make them acknowledge him, usually to the dismay of the group that he had invaded. He had to make sure that he was one of the most conspicuous people at the school regardless of what other people thought of him.

John sighed and took a bite out of his tenth meal of the day while looking onto the beautiful scenery that the campus provided. The bags of food that he had finished were strewn on the ground almost without a care and his finished drink bottles were lined up against the wall. They numbered 8 cans of cola, 9 bags of potato chips, and what seemed to be the remnants of three whole chickens that had been fried and eaten. Essentially, It had looked as if a party had been had at the top of the building and no one had cleaned up the mess.


John scratched his left wrist as he realized that there was no more people to talk to they either seemed to have been already talked to, or were not keen on leaving the academy after they had heard of a new transfer student was ambushing large groups of people. John sighed.

"This is going worse than I thought it would"

Cats liked high places. That was common knowledge. It was also true with Tomomi as she walked along the edge of the roof, looking down. She wasn't scared, didn't shiver or jolt when the wind blew. She knew she wouldn't fall.
Tomomi had been a cat most of the day today. Her violin was safely stashed so it was time to let loose her inner feline. She had already chased mice and birds, climbed to impossible places and climbed down, gotten petted so many times she couldn't count(she wasn't wearing her tags xP) and even hissed at some bullies. She didn't scratch them. A lot.
Tomomi turned from another corner and saw the roof. And froze.
Tomomi thought it wasn't allowed to have parties without permission on the school grounds. But the roof looked like there had been a huge party. Where no one knew how to eat properly.
But when Tomomi saw who was on the roof she somehow knew there hadn't been a party. There was just John.
Tomomi sneaked closer and got close enough just in time to hear him talk. Tomomi changed back, she was wearing a black t shirt and rainbow colored yoga pants, and raise her voice.
"What's goin' worse than ya thought?"

John jumped and dropped his snack, a chocolate bar, at the sound of a person responding to a statement he had not expected to get a reply to. He was sure that no one was here before him, and he didn't hear anyone walking up to the roof so the fact that he saw a person before him was pretty jarring. He stared at the female standing before him and processed what he saw for a couple. Everything from her black shirt to her yoga pants were analyzed before he recognized the person in front of him.

"TOMO HOW DID YOU GET UP HERE! YOU ALMOST MADE ME PISS MY PANTS"

John didn't mean to yell ,but he unconsciously did so as he was still quite surprised. So surprised in fact, that he had started to sweat as his body reacted to the adrenaline that permeated throughout his system. John shook his head and readjusted his white hoodie and pulled up his joggers as they had become a little messed up due to the surprise he had experienced. As well as bent down to pick up the chocolate off of the floor in order to put it on top of the wall which was already quite dirty.

Tomomi took great joy to see John jump out of his socks and she laughed happily at it. But it took him a couple of seconds to talk again, of course yelling, and it was the classic 'What are you doing here you scared me to badly' routine. Tomo slightly shaked her head, so unoriginal on John.
"Dude, I'm a cat. A shadow, the wind. I go wherever I wanna whenever I wanna. And today, right now, I wanna be here on the roof."
Tomomi laughed and kicked an empty package of a snack. How much did the guy eat?
"But seriously dude, what's goin' worse than ya expected? Did ya prank someone and it didn't take wind?"
Tomomi watched how John picked up the chocolate, not particularly. For her it was not three seconds but three minutes.
"And how much do ya eat? I mean, yowza!"
Tomomi gestured to the rest of the roof.

"To answer your first question its not really a prank, but yah as you may have guessed its not going too well. People I think have gotten a warning to my hijinx."

John sighed as he finally calmed down. He leaned on the wall as he looked down on the school sprawling down below. Before looking at Tomomi in the eyes, he pulled out two more sodas and offered one to Tomo.

"As for your question as to how much I eat, I eat at least 20,000 calories a day. I can eat more, though, as my body does burn calories at a monstrous rate. Its a bit of a curse since it hurts if I don't eat enough. The people who explained this phenomenon to me said that my body had the capability to eat itself alive."

John looked down at his ever toned body and chuckled a little bit.

"Its, apparently, the price of having a body like mine that is almost incapable of getting fat."

John then pointed at Tomo.

"I'm wondering why a cat would want to come to the roof"

Tomomi listened and when John gave her the soda the cracked it right open and took a big gulp. It must've been a pain in the ass to live with a body like that. Tomomi has sympathy for John, outside the body issue as well. She liked him, though he could be a pain in the ass, but so could she. Tomomi wanted to be John's buddy, to get why he was like he was. 'Cos there was somethjng behind his annoying demeanor, Tomo just knew it.
"Doesn't seem fair to me that ya gotta eat like a dragon or some junk just to stay alive. I mean, I get this package for free."
Tomo crushed her soda can, tossed it and to demonstrate her awesome muscles and body threw a flip and at the same time kicked the crushed can off the roof and down the the yard. She went to the edge and listened how the can hit the pavement and sacred someoen. She dodged out of view and snickered.
"Oh man, hell yes."
John asked her next why a cat would come to the roof. Tomomi just stared at John for a while and then laughed.
"John, don't ya know anythin' about cats? I love high places, love walkin' on the edge of the roof. Great view and nice wind. Today's been my feline day. Be thankful that I turned into a human just for ya."
Tomomi grinned and looked at John. Her turn to ask a question.
"Say John, buddy, why are ya always so loud? Why do ya feel like ya gotta, how didja say it, prove your existence to others? It sounds kinda sad, like ya yerself are not sure if ya exist. Does it have somethin' to do with yer power?"

John watched and cracked a smile at Tomomi’s actions and jokes. John was indeed a little jealous of a being that didn’t need to eat an exorbitant amount of food in order to survive, but he had become used to it. The food that he had eaten didn’t even amount to half of his daily required amount, but still he didn’t think too much about it. The exorbitant life he had lead when he had gotten to the academy was indeed quite conspicuous, but he didn’t consider it to be weird.

When Tomomi brought attention to his abilities he considered how he would show her how it worked. He didn’t hesitate at the idea of displaying his ability, which was a first for him. Tomomi was the first to voluntarily engage him with a conversation since he had come to the school. Most of the school, he guessed, had probably heard about the fight he had gotten into with the weasel. As a result, most would have heard what he had said out of anger, not that he believed any of what he said, but he wanted to hurt the guy that had hurt him though it could be said that John got what he had coming to him.

“My power, huh. Its hard to explain and its better to show so….”

John, out of respect to Tomomi’s inquisitive nature as well as her concern for his wellbeing, erased his existence. The large crack that was heard as a result of the use of the ability signified the disappearance of not only his body, but all possible identifying factors that could have been used to track him down including smell, touch, sight, taste, and hearing.
John moved behind Tomomi and tried to force himself back to reality, but it first didn’t work. John felt a wave of fear and anxiety as he had realized that he was not able to force himself back to existence. John started shaking, but suddenly he was able to materialize himself behind Tomomi.

“B-Boo”

John was visibly shaking from fear

“I almost got stuck haha”

Varvara flinched violently when she heard the crack and John just poof, disappeared. She looked around, trying to see him. She sniffed the air. Even his smell was gone. It was like John had never been there. Well, except for the trash.
Suddenly Varvara could smell him again and jumped a bit when he appeared behind her. Tomomi flipped around and lightly punched him to the shoulder.
"Jesus, don't scare me like that dude! I was so scared you had angered some god and they gave ya a punishment or some shit."
Tomomi would've scolded John more but she saw that the guy was shaking. He told her he had almost gotten stuck. Tomo lightly touched John's shoulder and pat it.
" 'S okay, ya didn't get stuck. Yer here. But tell me, how did ya almost get stuck? Didja transport yerself to some other level of existence or something?"

John backed up a bit his eyes widened. He had not expected to be touched on the shoulder and as a result he had reacted like an animal who didn’t understand what basic sympathy could do for him. John breathed in and tried to calm his nerves.

“Sorry. My ability probably is blasphemous to several mundane religions, but yes, I nearly got stuck. My ability doesn’t transfer me to another level of existence, b-but it erases my existence completely. There seems to be no way for me to be detected when I use my power, while there does seem to be a few ways people can stop my ability from working. As far as your question about how I got stuck…”

John shudders at the thought about that one second where his ability didn’t work.

“I don’t know how to control my ability completely. As a result, I can’t sleep or even lose consciousness out of fear of my ability. If I do, there is a chance I could fail to exist again. Each time I fall asleep, I fear that I may never exist again. That’s why I confirm my existence, since there have been times I have tried to talk to people and they don’t acknowledge me due to my ability.”

Tomomi listened to John and felt more and more bad for him. The guy was really stuck with a shitty power and Tomomi felt lucky that she was only a cat. Now Tomomi kinda understood why John was like he was. He was so scared he'd not exist anymore. Or at least that was what it seemed like.
"I'm sorry bro. That must be hella tough for ya. I can't even begin to imagine."
Pats John's back supportingly, she couldn't do much else now.
"But at least I'm here buddy! What can I do to stop your ability?"
