“

Ce n'est pas une salle hantée par un fantôme, la salle elle-même est un fantôme.

”

—Emporio Alnino, Stone Ocean Chapter 24: Ermes's Sticker, Part 4

Burning Down the House (バーニング・ダウン・ザ・ハウス, Bāningu Daun Za Hausu) est le Stand d'Emporio Alnino, figurant dans la sixième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stone Ocean. Ce Stand donne à Emporio la capacité d'interagir avec le fantôme d'une salle cachée et les fantômes de tous les objets contenus dedans.

Apparence

Burning Down the House n'a pas d'apparence à proprement parler et se manifeste comme un pouvoir spécial lié à une salle cachée et quelques objets.

Il matérialise le fantôme d'une salle de musique cachée derrière une fissure invisible sur le mur d'un escalier dans Green Dolphin Street Prison. Ses meubles les plus marquantes sont un piano à queue avec un siège debout au centre sur un grand tapis et un tableau de Lichtenstein sur le mur. La pièce comprend également une chaise et une petite table sur lesquelles repose une assiette avec une canette et un verre de jus d'orange et une barre de chocolat Mars.^[1] Il y a aussi d'autres tiroirs et étagères qui contiennent plusieurs livres et objets divers.

Pouvoirs

Despite the Stand's own lack of combat-related abilities, Burning Down the House's utility through the use of its ghostly objects allows Emporio to effectively assist Jolyne throughout Stone Ocean.

Ghost Objects

Burning Down the House allows Emporio to see, touch and use the ghosts of objects and rooms.^[1]

In 1984, Green Dolphin Street Prison caught fire and several rooms were completely burned down and eventually replaced through renovations. Emporio is able to see and use the ghosts of the objects destroyed in the fire, but also access the destroyed piano room through a hidden crack on a wall. Due to their nature, the objects are of limited use; for instance, a ghost chocolate bar can be tasted but not eaten as it falls through Emporio's mouth.^[1] However, he was able to use a ghost computer freely to do research.^[2] He can fit ghost objects in his pockets or a tiny bag^[3] regardless of their size.^[4]

To enter the piano room, an attuned person must pass through a slim crack on the wall of a stairway in which everything seems flattened.^[1] Any Stand user is able to see the crack in the wall leading to the piano room, but those not in the know about Emporio will not pay attention to it.^[5]

There is also a ghost gun which Emporio can wield, but its nature makes it harmless as it cannot kill any living being. However, the bullets can interact with other ghost objects such as books.^[1] After duplicating bullets with Ermes Costello's Stand Kiss, Emporio can essentially fly by shooting the duplicated bullet and then taking off the sticker from the remaining bullet, causing him to spring toward the direction of where the bullet was fired.^[6]
