Well, while I have you here, and I will have you here for a few pages more, I'll let you in on a little secret.
Syb, the bird you started off Act 2, is also a self-insert, just, not in the way I am, or, this guy on screen is. It all started when we were writing IOU and we came into the Part 2 section of the story (don't worry if you haven't read/play IOU, it's mostly nonsense anyways), and we came into a section where a bunch of undertale references were abundant, and characters who were in the original undertale were also popping up in IOU. This led me to taking over the body of the unfortunately named bird, The Bird That Carried You Over A Dissproportiantly Sized Gap. And I joined the party as a little magic user.
