A light rises through the bedroom of a young teenage girl as the heat from the sun's rays warmed her skin. Her eyes slowly blink open as she sits up in her bed with her pink, somewhat childish, full pajamas on. The girl stretches as, almost as if on cue, a gentle, male voice calls to her "Roxanne! Breakfast is ready! Get over here!" She grumbles about the impatient calling to food, but overall, she couldn't truly complain in good faith about it. After all, it was a better alternative to her previous situation. She gets up from her bed and heads out into the upstairs hallway of the two-story ranch she lived on with her guardian, who impatiently awaited her downstairs in the kitchen. As she goes down, she vaguely overhears some kind of news story on the TV in the living room.
She could vaguely hear, "...and despite insisting he was not going to, Mayor Omar Iscientia has said he was going to be running in the 2024 elections after all! More at 10, on Havona News Network…" though she didn't care at all about the news.
Roxanne's guardian, a young man with chiseled features and black hair wearing a nice white dress shirt and a tie with a piano pattern, though both were a bit disheveled at the moment, greeted her with a "Ah! Look who came out of their cave!" in a joking manner.
She was not amused. "Not now, William," she says sharply, knowing her guardian preferred a nickname over his proper name, "I didn't have such a good night's sleep."
William politely ignored the subtle slight, "Did you get that dream with your mom?" Roxanne nods solemnly, not enjoying even the very thought of it. William knows how sensitive the subject was to her, so he tried to be supportive, "I know how that dream has an effect on your psyche, but I'm here to help you see the sunlight in all of this, in anyway I can."
Roxanne nods, softly saying "Thank you, Joel." She takes a sip to look outside at the sunlight that William was talking about, and that's when she spit out her drink, causing Joel to exclaim out loud,
"What the hell?! You got the table cloth dirty!"
Roxanne points outside and yells "Do you not see that shit?!"
"Stop yelling! What shit?!"
"The damn eyes! Look at them!" She looks outside again, seeing a multitude of large red eyes dotting the sky. Joel looks outside as well, even squinting to see anything.
He looks at her with a look saying 'Are you crazy' to her. "There isn't anything there, Roxanne. Have you been doing some kind of drugs?"
"No, of course not! You're telling me you can't see those gigantic eyes next to the damn clouds?!" She looks back at the eyes, and notices one slightly shifts its focus to her. Seeing the eye gave her an extreme feeling of dread, her face becoming pale.
"Roxanne? Roxanne, are you feeling ok? Answer me!" But she didn't listen, as she fell back in faint.
In the early 2010s, not too long after an event that robbed many people of their clothes, another strange occurrence happened. With no warning, California's fault lines split, though in an erratic, completely wrong pattern, causing the state to split up into an archipelago of small islands whose formation had caused many large tidal waves to his coastal cities. Since then, a new condition dubbed "The Heaven Effect" has come about in much of the population of the world, where a feeling of sometimes people expect an event before it happens, anywhere from to a couple seconds before to whole weeks before the fact.. It doesn't happen all the time, but over 90% of the population has felt it at least once. These chaotic times have inspired much fear, superstition, and change in the modern world.
All throughout the day at school, Roxanne had been restless. She woke up from her fainting spell around 10 minutes after, which led Joel to think her vision of the eyes was some elaborate ruse to get out of school. She had asked a bunch of other students that day about the eyes she saw, and she got the same responses. She tried not look at the eyes as school ended, and she drove to her next destination. "What the hell is going on here? These eyes, not a single one of those nitwits at school could see them! Its like that… thing… Wait, could that ghost and the eyes have something to do with each other?" She thinks to the strange ghost that has haunted her since childhood as it comes out from her back. It looked humanoid, with a beige body and red arrows crossing all over it, the arrows all coming from two red dots that are where his eyes would be. It followed her around for as long as she could remember, and had even protected her a couple times on its own, but just like the eyes, no one but her could see it.
Roxanne speaks out loud to it, "I swear, if you are causing this, you are in a lot of trouble!". She sighs, wondering if anyone at her internship will understand. After about 5 more minutes of driving, pulls up to the Havona Airport, where she interns at. She had always been interested in planes and flying, hoping one day to become a pilot. Ever since she could, she interned at the airport so she could become a pilot one day.
After she parks the car and heads inside, her supervisor, Maxine, had greeted her near the checkout line, where she stood guard. "Oh! Roxanne! I'm so glad you are here, the guys need some serious help down in the unloading area on runway B!"
"I'm on it!" Hearing the urgency in her voice, Roxanne knew Maxine was in panic mode. She started to rush there, but stopped herself and asked "Hey, Maxine, have you noticed anything strange in the sky today?"
"Hmm? No, why do you ask?"
Roxanne gives a disappointed sigh, she was convinced that this had something to do with her ghost now. "Its nothing. I'll get to work." She heads off to her job.
After the hour long unloading of the plane, which was extended due to some freak storm over Seattle cancelling a bunch of flights, Roxanne felt beat. She wipes her brow at the end of the whole ordeal, the other unloading guys telling her she can take a break for a half hour. Roxanne goes into the airport, looking around the different stores, before stopping at a coffee shop near a gate that was unloading passengers from Chicago. As she sips her coffee, she notices two people at the gate, a woman and what seems to be a young boy around Roxanne's age both getting off the plane. The attendants at the terminal seem to be stopping the two from going. "Looks like the after gate metal detector went off." Due to the large amounts of illegal contraband that had flooded the city before, more protective measures had been put in place.
The attendants argue with the woman, "Ma'am, we want to see what's in that suitcase, and if you don't unload it, we will."
The woman responds, "Well isn't this a welcome party to my first time in the Cali Islands!" The woman had a black and gold little vest on that was somewhat tight in her skin, accentuating her chest, as well as short jeans that do the same. Her hair was dyed blond at the tips, while the rest of her hair was brown. "See, my son has Explodynia, you know that disease that requires steel needles to fix? The detector picked that up!"
Roxanne raises an eyebrow and chuckles. "No way they'll fall for that cheap shit." she thinks to herself. She would have to do a double take, however, as she notices small white paper planes with a plane-like window pattern appear behind her and flies into the two attendant's heads, disappearing into their minds.
They start to nod along with the suggestion "Y-yeah, I think I have heard of that! But we still need to check just in ca-" A humanoid figure comes out from behind the boy, resembling a stitched up blue humanoid figure, with a 8-way stitched heart on the figure. Suddenly, the kid's arm seems to explode into shreds, though he gives rather poorly acted screams.
The attendants are nonetheless shocked at the exploding arm and says "Please! Get your kid to a hospital!" The woman nods and takes the kid's other hand and runs away. Roxanne's mouth drops as she sees the two. They too had ghosts that followed them. She has a think, figuring that if anyone knows whats going on, those two do. She gets up, throws her coffee out, and follows them.
Mia laughs as she and her son walk out of the airport, successful in fooling the guards. "You did great, Terry! You really fooled those idiots!" Terry, the teenager with her, smiles. He had a purple sweater on, as well as khakis. "Are you proud of me, mom?" She nods "Yes, very. You bring true honor to the Mayai name!" Terry brightens up and smiles. "Unfortunately, we couldn't get here before Eye in The Sky manifested. We have to find the culprit and ki-"
"Hold it!" A voice interrupts Mia as she looks behind her. Roxanne was standing there. "You two! Those, ghost things! What the hell were those? How did you convince the attendants that the disease you were talking about was real?!" She looks to the boy "You! How the hell did you repair your arm?" Terry no longer had his arm ripped apart. He could feel her eyes bore into him, so he hid behind his mother.
Mia speaks for him. "So… you have a stand too? Are you an agent of the one who created these eyes?"
Roxanne mutters under her breath "A what? An agent?"
Mia continues nonetheless "My stand is Paper Planes, and his is Hard Habit. I'm guessing you saw us put them to good use earlier, so you can guess how they work. Terry, this is your chance. Make mama proud!" Mia sits back against a random car in the parking lot.
Terry stretches his neck and arms, preparing for a fight. "Well, you probably don't know what my stand does, right?" The humanoid stand comes back and his hand becomes enlarged, with sharp claws at the end of it. The hand was about twice the size of Terry's face now.
"Ready to die, enemy stand user?" Terry says, with a devious smile.
Roxanne looks down, shade covering her eyes. Her stand behind her appears behind her. "Its Roxanne, and look, I'm not an agent of those eyes. I'm looking for answers… But NO ONE, disrespects my co-workers. They work way too damn hard to have schmucks like you screw with them. I'm gonna kick your ass!" Many of the eyes start to look at the airport parking lot. The battle is about to begin!
