"Finland!" Haddock gruffly reminds you.

"Yes! That reminds me... wasn't there a heist in Helsinki?" You reply.

"That's right."

"It's amazing how many fossils were stolen from the museum in one night!" you say. "We should get to the bottom of this. Boy, it'll be a real scoop!"

You arrive in the newly opened Helsinki Airport. Upon feeling a stiff breeze you don't regret packing a thick coat. Calculus, at usual, is looking at his pendulum. At customs you pull open your backpack, and to your uttermost shock, the security guards pull out a massive package of cocaine. You stammer: "You gentlemen must be mistaken! Someone else must have put them in my bag!"

"That's what they all say!" a pair of familiar voices sneer.

"Thomson and Thompson!" you exclaim.

"Tintin, you're under arrest!" Thomson says.

"To be precise, we're arresting you!" Thompson corrects.

Haddock is having none of this. "Billions of blue blistering barnacles! Can't you atavistic Australopithecuses run a fingerprint test on it or something? This is preposterous!"

After confiscating Snowy, they take you to the police station and sprinkle some dust on your bag after observing your fingerprints, and learn that the only fingerprints they found are your own. The police don't even have the common courtesy to put you in different prison cells. From what you've heard, drug trafficking in finland gets you a sentence of 2 years. Nothing you say in court can pardon you from that. Somehow, the dreadful little fellow responsible erased all evidence from the scene. You'd like to wring his neck. When suddenly you can hear two noises:

Snowy's distant barking echoing along the corridor, and a voice behind you murmuring "I can help you out... You're Tintin, are you?"

Snowy! Somehow, he'd made it out of the clutches of the police. But you can't have him alerting the guards so you gently shush him. "No, not now, Snowy."

You turn around. Nobody's there, except a disembodied voice. You question your sanity. "Tintin..." it murmurs. "We could use some help. Join our organization, and you shall know power the likes of which you've never imagined!"

"What's all this about?" you ask.

A green-and-blue gloved hand reaches through the prison wall. "Come with me and you'll know."

Astonished by what you see before you, you take his hand. He pulls you through the wall. The stone is but a skin into a humming silvery void that is replaced by a dank wooden room somewhere underground. "Amazing!" you exclaim. Snowy whimpers in your arms.

"Yes..." he says. You still can't see him, but his glove is floating in midair. The last time you saw something this crazy was in Tibet or Pulau-Pulau Bompa. You still can't believe what's happening. "Is this a trick?"

"Unless you believe it is..." he responds. "The only way for you to apprehend the thief is by doing it yourself. You won't need Haddock or Cuthbert's help - I have all of it for you. All you need to do is swear loyalty to Uriyah. Do it... and you shall know power beyond your ken!"

"This is all too sudden.." you say.

Behind him there are a number of pedestals. Standing on them are a collection of globes.

I forgot to tell you to roll. I'll do it on your behalf. My apologies, I won't do this again.

>>4234173
Your instincts tell you that Uriyah is probably not a very nice person. You lunge at the globes.

Oops! Something trips you up and you land on your stomach. The floating glove begins to shriek and it takes a swing at you, only to be intercepted by Snowy. Your faithful dog knocks over an orb, it rolls across the room, and smashes against a table. From it flies a glint of green, embedding itself into Snowy's hindquarters. He howls in agony as it burrows into his flesh! "Snowy!" you shout as you get to your feet. "My poor, poor snowy!"

It begins chasing you across the room. You carry Snowy in your arms as gently as you can to not harm the poor creature. Despite your efforts it shakes enough to fall out. And at that moment you learn the glove is what stole the fossils. Unfortunately you learn too late, for you feel its fingers wrap around your throat. It digs into your windpipe as you struggle to pull the glove off. Everything fades as you feel your pulse beating behind your eyes... until a new breath of oxygen fills your lungs. A kaleidoscopic array assaults your retinas.

A tall file cabinet is now dragging along the floor. Snowy is rushing towards you and it stops just before it slams the wall. The glove is stuck in the narrow space between it and the wall, wringing in anger. "No..." it groans. Just before you phase through the wall, you realize that the bookshelf is always exactly two meters to Snowy's right, no matter where he is.

You don't ask why. "Damn you..." the glove groans. The police are going to have a very hard time comprehending this, so apprehending this mysterious glove is out of the question. Snowy looks at him and barks in fear. What more is he seeing? That doesn't matter as you look up and down around the dark room after telling Snowy to stay put.

While motioning for Snowy to stay there, and thus keep your attacker pinned against the wall, you scrounge around the room until you find a switch. It flickers on, yet under its dim, incandescent light you can find a number of cracks around the wall until it occurs to you that you should search where Snowy took the bookshelf. There's a very low tunnel. You motion for Snowy to join you and thankfully the glove slumps to the ground. You leave the room with a treasure you stole from him: a rock with a glowing green shard poking from it.

You enter a limestone cavern. There are numerous statues embedded in the stalagmites representing a half-naked, muscular man wielding an arrow. All of them have the words URIYAH engraved on the feet of the stalactite. Eventually they lead you to a flat surface with very evenly placed stalagmites, until you realize that it is a map of Eurasia. Massive pyramids are hovering above the nations of Finland and Korea. You wonder why this could be.

"Amazing! A whole chapter of history, unveiled just like that! It'd be a strange art project otherwise." you muse to yourself.

There is a pillar above Iso-Syöte. It is a mountain in the middle of Finland. You have no doubt that this is where this Uriyah is hiding. Your only regret is that you didn't bring your camera.

After hours of climbing you find a wooden slab. You push it as hard as you can and the whole thing gives way to a guard room. They immediately apprehend you and take you back to your prison cell, and attempt to separate Snowy from you. Haddock looks through the iron bars, grimacing hopelessly at this sight. As a guard passes Haddock with Snowy in his arms, the grille shakes a little.

"What the-?"

When suddenly, the entire grille is torn out through some invisible force. It rushes along the corridor, knocking out all the guards save the one holding Snowy. It hovers centimeters away from the guard's face. Frightened and confused, he pulls out a gun on you.

You can't argue with a gun. So you leap for cover under the nearest column you can find. Fortunately the guard misses you, and Snowy has bit him. "YEOW!" he exclaims as he drops your beloved dog. The invisible force suddenly yanks the gun from his hand, hitting him in the knee. The gun goes off again, puncturing a pipe on the roof and activating the sprinklers.

Snowy runs towards you, dragging the gun through midair. It is floating twenty centimeters away from Snowy. The guard dashes towards it but he slips on a puddle, landing on his face. In just the nick of time you toss the gun to Haddock. He holds the guard at gunpoint as you take the keys from his belt, which you then use to free Haddock and Calculus.

"I don't believe what i'm seeing, Tintin!" Haddock says.

"Neither do I! It must be some kind of magic trick!" You respond, equally bewildered. "Looks like Snowy can fetch anything. Calculus, do you know how he did this?"

"What happened to him in the first place?" Calculus asks.

"He got jabbed by, well... this." you tell him as you produce the fossil with the green rock pointing out of it.

"I don't know, for sure. It may as well be magic. Telekinesis has been considered pseudo-scientific quackery for decades!" Calculus declares.

You get back in the caves through the broom closet. And under the guidance of Calculus's pendant, you pry open a trapdoor. Snow falls through, and you are greeted with a large snowy park with many dead trees. The park you are in is Hermannin Rantapuisto. The three of you start to shiver. "Blistering barnacles!" exclaims Captain Haddock. "Can't we go buy some good booze? Hear there's fine vodka in Finland, Kosa-something it was called."

"On another note-" Calculus says. "I am acquainted with a colleague in this very city who specializes in unorthodox theories largely discredited by the wider scientific community. He may be able to help us."

You explain everything that you saw down there as you take a walk through the snowy park. "Thundering Typhoons!" Haddock says. "Must have stumbled into some strange religion!"

You pull out your atlas, flip over to the map of Finland you have bookmarked and draw a cross on Iso-Syote. You don't want to forget this, ever.

"The facts of history aren't set in stone!" Haddock proclaims. "One person might have seen something else than the other! Some people even think that it was Red Rackham who survived the battle with dear old Sir Francis Haddock!"

"That's because they haven't seen any proof so the only thing they can do is make a claim to the contrary with whatever else they have with them. It's the reason why Protestants exist." you say.

"Ha! Ha!" Haddock laughs. "You can say that again! But to claim that Finland and Korea thrived before Atlantis and Lemuria - it's ludicrous, really! Some secret society it is."

"Here we are, gentlemen!" Calculus chimes, at last putting down his pendulum for once, knocking on the door. It opens up, and a man with a long beard wearing a hat with a wheel on it greets you. "Hello, I am Professor Makinen! Come inside!"

His house is full of corkboards and occult imagery. He's quite the conspiracy theorist. Over cups of warm milk, he says "Now then! You have just escaped from prison, am I correct?"

"Yes, indeed!" Haddock answers. "After someone stuffed Tintin's bag full of drugs! There weren't even any fingerprints!"

"No fingerprints that you could see, Captain. Have you considered what manner of being might plant something of that size in his bag?"

"Oho! A spectre, or a poltergeist! Maybe he stepped on someone's grave on the way to the airport!" Haddock barks sarcastically.

"You're not far off. What attacked him was a spirit. One bound to a man, that carried out his bidding." Makinen explains. "You're fortunate that it failed."

"Now listen here, you second-rate sorcerer! I'd sooner believe that pigs can fly before buying into one word of your claptrap!"

You quickly intervene. Haddock has no patience for the supernatural but in this case you are forced to rely on it. "My apologies, sir. He can be a little temperamental at times. If you'd care to overlook his conduct, i'd like to ask-"

"Professor Makinen," you ask, holding the fossil in front of you, "It appears that Snowy gained his power after getting jabbed by this fossil. Do you know anything about it?"

He takes it from you and scrutinizes it intensely. "No... It can't be! This is..."

He leads you over to a table near a rack full of various tools, like chisels, hammers, files, and sandpaper. Then for the next thirty minutes you watch him chip away at the fossil as carefully as possible, before he brushes it off and blows off any remaining dust. You and your friends circle his table. In the dim light of his cluttered workshop your faces are lit by the ornate green arrowhead before you. You can hardly even express your amazement.

"This, gentlemen, is a Stand Arrow!" Makinen announces.

"I don't believe my eyes!" Haddock gasps.

"You better! It is an extraordinarily rare artifact. Only a handful of them exist. You see before you the catalyst of man's potential!"

"It must be very important!" you say. "Perhaps we should give it to whoever made them."

"And that's the problem. We don't know who did. All we know is that a woman named Enya bought five of them from an individual closely associated with the Italian Mafia, who discovered six. But nothing could have told us of the existence of a seventh!"

"So... who should we give it to?" you ask. "The United Nations? The Pope? Something so powerful shouldn't be kept by one man!"

He looks at you solemnly. And then says "Friends. I must warn you. Those who possess stands shall be drawn to others possessing stands. From now on, Snowy will no longer live without the fear of enemy stand-users. It is only fair that should you wish to keep Snowy you must face the same fate, so long as you fight alongside one another until the end."

Snowy whimpers. He continues "I leave you with a choice. I am associated with a benevolent foundation that deals in these fields. You may keep the Seventh Arrow with you, or entrust my foundation to keep it safe."

"We could keep it safely locked up in the dungeons beneath Marlinspike!" Haddock suggests. "Let's see what Nestor will get!"

"We'll keep the arrow, Professor Makinen. You can count on us to keep it safe." You tell him. He wistfully hands you the arrow.

"Very well, then." He says. "Use it... use it responsibly. Only on those whom you trust."

"Hold on, Professor." you interject. "We can't let Snowy live his whole life like this. He doesn't deserve to deal with that much more trouble in his life. Is there any way we can remove his stand?"

The Professor places his hand on his chin and thinks for a moment. "I'm afraid there is no possible way to remove Snowy's stand. Because it is a physical extension of your spirit it cannot be excised from your soul, as no methods of soul manipulation have been devised to such a degree."

"Oh... I'm afraid we'll be on our way then." you say. "See you when we come back from Iso-Syote."

"But Tintin!" he protests. You turn around. "Now that you know we can't get rid of it, wouldn't you like to see Snowy's Stand?"

You raise an eyebrow. Professor Makinen continues "Not only that, expect to be hunted by enemy stand users. Your journey will be long and perilous. I swear on my mother's grave I can't let you leave this house without one, for only a stand can defeat a stand."

Haddock asks "What, how do I get one?"

"It's rather simple, friends." Makinen says. "Cut yourself with it, that's all. A little jab will do. Go on. Do it before it's too late."

With clammy hands you hold the shaft of the Stand Arrow. A gateway into a world upon the world. Such puissance... such danger... The allure of power, and the allure of fear. No longer shall you fear the unknown, baleful phenomena that seeks your undoing, for they shall be made clear to your mortal eyes and you may strike them down with your own. With one heavy breath, you nick the index finger on your left hand. A drop of blood runs down your hand, dripping off your wrist.

(Alright guys! Let's get creative! A stand is heavily influenced by the user's personality. Consider every aspect of Tintin. Think hard about this, because this won't change in the future.)

We shouldn't skimp this, so let's brainstorm:
Tintin is arguably most defined by his love of adventure, and he is a classic character. Therefore, a classic song (at least sometime before the 21st century) about travel would arguably be the most fitting. Such songs include
>Come Fly with Me - Frank Sinatra
>I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) - The Proclaimers
>On the Road Again - Wille Nelson

>>4237643
500 Miles would probably be a good choice, since it also involves loyalty and dedication to someone, reflecting Tintin's honest and selfless nature.

(This reminds me of Awakening Three Leaves, but easier to understand! Good choice!)

You feel as though you have grown another limb. It's like when you were a child and learned you grew another tooth after the last one fell out, but this time it's with regards to your consciousness. It's hard to explain how it feels in your new state. Professor Makinen's house is in no good condition. It's damp, it's mouldy, and the rats in the roof have caused a large piece of plaster to dislodge from the roof. Unbeknownst to you it hangs on by a tiny piece, and with a crack and a roar it plummets towards you. "Look out, Tintin!" Haddock shouts.

But before it can smash into you, a robotic blue-and-green humanoid that looks like a Transformer if it came from a 1950s jeep intervenes. You are astounded at it, and it stares back at you. Somehow, you can see its face and your own at the same time. Then you realize that Haddock and Calculus have been looking at the chunk of plaster, which is slowly oozing through the air. Upon looking at it, you mentally urge it to move somewhere else and your stand swishes his arm.

A blue arrow overlaps with the plaster and sends it hovering towards the patio. It settles there quietly, not a single fragment breaks off. Doing this has only expended a fraction of your power. "This could move a boulder Five Hundred Miles! I know - that's what I'll call it!"

You look at Snowy. Above him hovers a glowing skeleton made from the bones of various creatures, assembled in a shape vaguely resembling a dog. Gemstones are suspended around its body. You don't know what to call it. But you do know it has the ability to retrieve everything it touches. "Now I can see who's doing the fetching on your behalf!"

"Come, Haddock, have a go too!"

Querulously he takes the arrow and cuts over a joint on his thumb. Nothing occurs. He sits down and waits for something to happen. "What manner of drug is this? It must be out of date."

(Take into account that he was once a melancholy and manipulated man, but now he is cynical, gruff, and temperamental. His alcoholism still remains, but now instead of being a tool to control him, it is the source of his strength)

「 Plastic Beach 」

Namesake: Plastic Beach - Gorillaz

Appearance: Depends on the size of the body of water it is in. If it is a puddle, it will be the size of a puddle. If it is in the ocean, it will be as large as an actual battleship, complete with rooms and crew and all. If it is in a small stream it will have a single room. The interiors, like the exteriors, depend on its surroundings

Power: C
Speed: B
Durability: C
Precision: A
Range: B
Potential: E

Ability: 「 Plastic Beach 」 is, despite its size, a functioning Iowa Class Battleship with fully functioning, highly accurate, cannons, firing shells that burst with roughly the same effectiveness as a firecracker.

「 Plastic Beach 」can only manifest in a body of water, however what constitutes a body of water is very loose, such as a bathtub, a pot of water, or a deep puddle. Or a puddle of alcohol.

You sit there for a good ten minutes. Ten minutes! Haddock is tapping his feet, getting more frustrating by the second. He looks like he could really go for some hard drink but your conscience decides otherwise. "What? Is anything going to happen? Anything?! Oh, what a shame! I guess it will be too dangerous for me to go then. And i'll spend the next few days back home in Marlinspike while you solve this great big mystery, Tintin. What a calamity! What a cruel trick of fate this is!" he roars. "Curse you, fate! You cosmic prankster! You petulant pig!"

By the fifth insult, something smashes his mug. "Who's there! Put down your peashooter at once before I have you clapped in irons!"

Everybody gets under the table. Small explosions can be heard, though muffled. More of Makinen's things get smashed. The bullets are very small, almost imperceptible, and they are too fast for you to use your ability on. However you try your luck as you focus as hard as possible. It's no use. You can't deflect the bullets, but only slightly diverge their path, leading them into Makinen's bare sections of wall, of which there are few. "Tintin!" you hear a voice shout. And then you realize that inexplicably, it's coming from Snowy! "The old sailor's lost his mind!"

Snowy creates a bind point slightly below what's firing the bullet. Just as the unseen enemy unloads another volley of bullets the crack of gunfire concludes with the shattering of glass and the rapid spilling of water. To your uttermost surprise, Captain Haddock slumps down on the floor, bellowing as he is drenched in water that you cannot see. The gunfire ceases. You get on your feet, your Stand at the ready. You promptly withdraw it when you see a miniature frigate lying on its side amid broken glass strewn about the carpet.

"My fishbowl!" Professor Makinen whimpers. "Luckily my fish died ages ago. I've lost nothing but algae. I'll get that replaced, friend."

You and snowy creep up to it. Dozens of little men are scurrying about the damp carpet, evaporating one by one. And in a puff of smoke, Plastic Beach Act 1 disappears. "What a fine little tub!" Haddock comments. "Almost as fine as my dear forebear's The Unicorn!"

"I'm dreadfully sorry for soiling your carpet!" Haddock apologizes to Makinen.

"No, no! There's little carpet to soil left! Frankly I was hoping somebody would do it for me to give this place some consistency, you know, but I'm just too busy to do that myself." he gregariously rebuts. You look at Haddock, and he looks back with you as you share the same look of bewilderment. Then you both look over your shoulder, at Professor Calculus.

"Now, you senile old geezer," Haddock asks. "I know all this may come as a surprise to you, but I think it's about time you get a Stand."

(Cont. in next post)

"Get a stamp?" Calculus says. "No thank you, Captain. I've already bought myself plenty at the airport, and I think the post office isn't that far from here anyways."

"No!" Haddock shouts. Plastic Beach re-appears, this time in the carpet puddle, and fires three blanks. "I take it you've been wondering how we've been doing all this magical mumbo-jumbo? The very reason you led us all the way to Professor Makinen? How would you like to see what causes them for a start!?"

"I say, captain, that is a very rude word! Next time say something like 'gas' or 'flatulence', or-"

Haddock pins Calculus in the forehead with the Stand Arrow. A tiny graze connects his withering eyebrows. "I do beg your pardon, sir!"

Calculus is an odd fellow. Weird Science is a avid descriptor for him!

Yes, this...
"From my heart and from my hand, why don't people understand, my intentions"

>>4239407
what about even making materials that are normally not stable or like shift there state without them changing like making solid water but its not ice?

I was thinking of making a time stand, but it'll be too much DIO

>>4239731
it could really find anything from treasure too literal aliens

>>4239721
whatevs, just use songs about science then. Better than nothing.

But also dropping this one here; don't take too seriously:

>Stand Name: ABC
>Ability: Gives user understanding of the mechanical/physical/chemical/tactical aspects of anything it's in contact with. This includes areas, and the user will also be able to understand the item's/area's true purpose
>Power: D

>>4239837
Is that based on the alphabet song or some other song?

>>4239925

Michael Jackson before he went white, and it is based off of literally the only "learning" song I could think of.

HEE HEE HERE YOU GO

Professor Calculus stares at him for a moment in bewilderment. He feels his forehead and notices that his scar has disappeared. Then he looks behind him, and his eyes are wide open. He removes his glasses. "Well, I never!" Calculus gasps. He looks up and down at his stand. Draped in a long white robe resembling a lab coat, with a humanoid body clad in blue and silver plates.

It vaguely, very vaguely resembles a shark, with fins sticking out of its forearms and shins. It is much taller than Calculus himself. Various transparent tubes and antennae pumping thick yellow fluid jut out from its head, running down the rest of its body.

The tubes are full of gooey blobs, like a lava lamp. They filter into protrusions that look like flasks and test tubes. A massive radiation symbol is emblazoned across its abdomen. "This being is truly weird... I wonder if a new avenue of science is opening up before me."

It drifts very slowly across the air. "Hence let it be known that on this day I christen you Weird Science!" Calculus announces, thrusting a finger at the ceiling in an unusual display of energy for a man of his age. His stand drifts slowly across the room. "It bears... the power of transmutation! Lost since the alchemists were cast into the realm of superstition, it returns as the harbinger of old thought merging with the new!"

"See?" Makinen says. "Now you're all set."

"Thank you very much for this," you say. "I cannot find the right words to express my gratitude, but we are forever indebted to you."

"No, it's all right. Couldn't have your deaths on my conscience. Besides, it's my job to do this. Otherwise i'd be fired." Makinen pulls out a strip of paper and hands it to you. "When you're in need of help, call this number. Set a course to Iso-Syote. The fate of the world hangs in the balance."

> You are currently in Helsinki. Open up Google Maps, and propose which place you will go to next on your way to Iso-Syote.

>>4240406
When are we? Did WW2 happen?

>>4240516
Relax, it's just *ye olde* Google Maps. Two totally different things.

>>4240717

Yeah. Google was invented in 1946-- the year after WWII ended.

(This takes place between Stardust Crusaders and Diamond is Unbreakable, but i'm not exactly sure. If anyone wants to change the time period, i'll consider it. But it would be convenient for it to take place after Stardust Crusaders. Let's assume that nobody that Tintin knew aged.)

>>4240737
That's fine. Tintin is supposed to be in a fluid timeline anyway.

>>4240737
Also where are we in Finland right now? We do need to propose a course, right?

>>4240753
(Yeah, Tintin is in Helsinki, which is the capital of Finland. You can look it up on google maps.)

>>4240894
Well, we're probably still wanted after that cocaine fiasco. Maybe we can hitch a ride on a shipment to Iso-Syote.

>>4240406
From my research, travelers typically take a train to Oulu on their way to Iso-Syote.

Please don't die on me, thread. There's so much promise!

DI MOLTO!
