Chapter 9: The House of Pain part 1
A Stand is an entity psychically generated by its proprietor, generally referred to as a Stand User. It is viewed as a visual manifestation of the User's fighting spirit. A Stand generally presents itself as a figure hovering over or near the user and possesses abilities beyond that of an ordinary human, which, depending on the Stand User, can be wielded for good or evil. Each Stand possesses supernatural properties as well as a special, unique power, indirectly granting its User superhuman abilities
Stand Statistics are six statistics used outside of the story to gauge a Stand's capabilities. They are in order: Destructive Power, Speed, Range, Vitality, Precision, and Developmental Potential. Each stat is ranked from A-E.

Joshua grabbed both Bronny and Jolyne and pulled them to the side, avoiding the flames. "In here, quick!" Joshua yelled, he opened one of the doors and leaped inside. Joshua locked the door behind him, "we're safe, for now," he said, "you two alright?" "Alright? H-how the hell could I be alright!?" Exclaimed Bronny, "all of this crazy shit, my friend trying to kill me, these, these Stand things that you say I have, how could you possibly think I'm ok!?" Joshua put a hand on his shoulder, "Bronny, you need to calm down, we have a bigger problem." Bronny pushed Joshua's hand away and grabbed his collar, "calm down!? How the fuck can I calm down!?" The two heard a loud bang, silencing them. "Look, we can fight later," Jolyne said, "but for now, we have something much more serious going on."
Bronny sighed and paced around the room, "ok, ok," he muttered, "so, how am I supposed to use a Stand?" "A Stand is controlled though one's psychic link they share with it," Joshua said, "you must command your Stand consciously, any action you demand, your Stand will obey." Bronny nodded and started to focus, he grunted, trying to summon his Stand. "Are you alright?" Jolyne asked, "I'm, trying to concentrate," Bronny replied, "this isn't that easy ya know." A loud bang on the door halted the group, Jolyne pushed past Bronny and to the door, "put a pin in it," she said, "we got bigger problems." Jolyne and Joshua stood by the door, another loud bang emanating from it, "are you sure about this Jolyne?" Joshua asked, Jolyne nodded, "the faster we kill this guy, the better." Joshua put his hand on the doorknob, Jolyne summoned her Stone Free, Bronny stood back, whatever came from behind the door, it wasn't gonna be pretty. Joshua held his hand up, counting down. Joshua quickly opened the door, "take this!" Jolyne yelled, she moved to strike, but there was no floor beneath her, the door had opened to the outside of the house! "J-Jolyne!" Bronny yelled, Joshua quickly grabbed Jolyne and pulled her back inside. "W-What the hell!?" Exclaimed Jolyne, "it's a fucking cliff!" Bronny looked out the doorway, it led to a cliff, and it was a long drop to the water below. "I-I don't understand!?" He said, "we were just in the house!?" "Perhaps, we still are," replied Joshua.
Joshua closed the door, "if I'm correct," he muttered, he reopened the door, the setting had changed, no longer was it to the outside, but rather a long hallway. "As I thought," Joshua said, he closed the door again, "when I first saw his ability, I thought it was a Stand that could manipulate the environment without being seen, but that wasn't the case." He moved across the room, closing the window shutters. "This Stand is much more, a power that can manipulate this house," he said, "change rooms around, attack with furniture and the floor, this Stand must have a connection, what if…" Joshua suddenly realized something, "no, it's not that the Stand is connected to the house, the Stand is the house!" Bronny and Jolyne's eyes widened, "the house, is a Stand?" Bronny asked, "how is that even possible?" "There's a lot of shit in this world that isn't possible," Joshua said, "some would even call it bizarre, but we can't harp on that now, right now, we're in a dangerous situation, and we need to get out of it, now." Joshua stepped up to the door and put his hand on the knob, "if the house is constantly changing, there's no way we'd be able to get back to the original," Jolyne said, "how the hell are we gonna win this?" A blue aura swirled around Joshua, a black silhouette forming next to him, "don't worry Jolyne, we will win this, we will live," Joshua said, "my Stand will lead us through this predicament, it will lead us, to victory!"
