John stood by himself on the roof. He stared blankly, his eyes glowing a dull blue indicating that he was mildly content. He stood on the edge of the roof, one misstep away from dropping a long way down with a sudden fatal stop. He was beyond caring, as he wouldn't be able to feel it anyway. His body and clothes were white and the light shone through him, not casting a shadow. He had the appearance of a ghost: He was transparent enough for people to see through him. He was rather lonely, just like he'd always been; No one seemed to notice him, and when someone did they would usually scream.

Jessica walked up the stairs to the roof, managing twice to keep herself from falling back down. She reached the top and began to walk to the edge of the wall. For the third time, she lost her footing and tripped off the edge of the roof. She twisted her body quickly so she could grab onto the edge of the building. She felt her fingers slipping, but she tried to hold fast.
"help!" she yelled at no one in particular. She hadn;t seen anyone on the roof, so she wasn;t sure who could help her.

Eyes turning gray to signal depression, John began to vanish. Something within, however, tugged at the heart he didn't know he had. He reappeared and hovered toward the woman. He couldn't touch her: He wasn't really there from a philosophical point of view. A feeling of despair rose up in him, so strong that he pulled himself completely into this dimension. He lost his 'Old Photograph' look as his hair turned brown and his skin and clothes gained considerably more color. John gripped the woman's hands and lifted with all of his strength. Either she was lighter than he thought or we was stronger than he thought, because it was quite an easy task. The woman safe, The color once again drained out of John as he became ghostly once again. He gazed upon the girl, his eyes shining bright green. "Please. Do be careful. I'm not sure how I did that; I am one who stands unfinished."
"Thank you." she said while she felt her flace blush. She smiled at the man as he turned see through again. It amazed her. She watched him cautiosly for a mooment.
"Wow." she said quietly.
"Wow." she said quietly.
The glow in John's eyes became green, indicating happiness. "I am glad that I was able to save you this time, even with the confusion such an action brings me: Such strength is usually far beyond me." He floated in a half circle around her, coming to levitate over the spot she nearly fell from.
"Ya.. thanks for helping me out. That could have been the end of me." she smield as she spoke. She had been close to dying before, but this was the closesnt she had come by far. She watched him cautiously as his eyes changed color. He amazed her.
John nodded. "It was my pleasure to save you..." John's eyes glowed white, signalling that he was in deep thought. "You are now one who has been spared an end by one with no beggining." He floated a bit higher, then lower, then returned to stand in his previous place as his eyes went green again.
She smiled as she watched him in awe. She watched as his eyes changed color, signalling changes in emotions, she presumed. She suddenly felt quite self concious abotu being so clumsy. If she had fallen, but still held on, and no one had seen her fall, then she wouldnt feel so clumsy. But him being there made her feel a lot more like a klutz. She felt her eyes glow dimmly as she began to wish she wasn't so much of a klutz, but she sealed them shut quickly, hoping he wouldnt notice.
"So," she wanted to try to make friendly conversation, "Whats your power?" She looked up at him curiously

"...Power." John repeated, his eyes turning gray. "I am one who stands unfinished, scattered across the cosmos." He answered. The only indication of emotion was his eyes. Every other faucetof feelings remained taciturn.
"Wow..." she said, her eyes wide with awe. She watched his now grey eyes, then decided to tell her own power. "I grant wishes. Only one per day. And to tell you the truth, I hate it. It has killed every single member in my family." she sighed as she looked back up to him to see what he would say.
