Frankly, it’s a bit funny instantly thinking of original characters and original story work while you’re reading your chapter for the week. XD

A little context for those that want it!

- I made this comparison purely because of their thieving pasts and how that ended up for them. While Buddy ended up turned into a Key, Remington turned his life around when he and his twin sister met their adoptive mother and became her apprentices as detectives.

- Also the fact that both of them had relatively similar pasts in this regard. If Remington didn’t have his sister that looked after him/to look after, he probably would’ve ended up exactly like Buddy at this point in his life, bitter and alone. Even so, deep down, both are good people at heart. They’re just put in situations that push them to do things like steal.

1998 Rick Mast #75 Remington 1:24 by Revell. Best finish of 8th place at Sonoma.

Alternate universe where Remington has four eyes (and her brother’s powers) and Billiam has one eye (and his sibling’s powers)

Remington suffers from insecurity and a sense of inferiority stemming from his so-called “lackluster powers”, however, on further inspection it simply is a “grass is always greener” situation: Remington would feel unfulfilled with any two powers granted to him. A telepathy power would grant her a bit more help in social situations in day-to-day life because she could simply check what people are thinking about her and other things, buuut I think she would feel morally conflicted about it. She would not use it very much for long stretches of time, then feel her place in the pecking order slide down, use it again, and then once again feel really guilty about it, rinse and repeat. She would not care for insects in the slightest.

Fortunately, Remmie would have a far easier time interacting with the humans in the physical realm! However, their desire to leave humans “untampered with” and a simultaneous deep desire to get to know humans and be known would make it so that they’d constantly pingpong between acting overly friendly and clinging to everyone’s sides, and withdrawing and surveying people’s actions from afar. As time goes on and he realises that he only ends up making people uneasy and distance themselves from him, he would fall into similar parasocial tendencies he has in the actual canon Sirpaverse.

Billiam famously has a complete and utter disregard for people’s privacy and autonomy, because he has always been able to completely ignore them. Not anymore! Bill would be just as flamboyant and silly as he is canonically, but he would be way nicer to be around and more considerate, dare I say. He wouldn’t really develop an interest in insects and entomology having zero ties to it, but his interest and fascination with ghosts would be reinforced, eventually driving him to disobey the idea people’s only rule and enter the physical realm.
