[chattylittleina]

For the record: Ina's natural gift with numbers is also a curse.

She will count the days. The hours. The minutes. She can remember how long it's been since you've met, and how long since she's seen you last.

And if she tells you that you broke a promise 3 times, it might as well be written in iron, because she knows. She counted.

She might be prone to spouting physics facts that she's picked up, but without a doubt, Ina's biggest strength is definitely with numbers.

I still have drafts, but I've flooded the dash with replies to asks tonight.

Ahhh yes. the big blue guy from before had returned! Ina was just in the middle of trying to capture her 'friend', Bill. Bill, who squawked angrily as she grabbed his middle, but didn't peck at her face.

Good Corvid.

"Oh! Look, Bill! It's the big blue guy!" She stroked the black bird gently over the wing. "Hi again!"

It wasn't the darkness she feared; it was the monster within.

not simply the monster of the shadows,

but also the one inside of her,

the one that begged for a taste,

just a nibble,

that roared in her ears when she was hungriest,

devour them all,

that rattled the cage of her chest,

let me loose, set me free,

begging her to lash out,

they've all deserved it

betting her to eat,

glut on their pain,

begging her to devour the one thing she required to live

just give in, it plead

but she did not.

she ate her bread.

she drank her milk.

she went to bed.

the monster starved.

HEADCANON:

Ina really loves shells, bones, feathers, and crystals. When she finds any of the above, they all end up in her little busted up shoebox. She has a teensy collection of "neat shit".

headcanon: Ina's taste in food

While it can be said that Ina will never turn down a meal when she's hungry, she has a Strong Preference for vegetables, breads, and fruits (essentially in that order, as well).

Ina is not Vegetarian for reasons of Saving the Animals, or Saving the Planet, but rather that most of the meat she's had in her life has been overcooked, undercooked, poorly spiced, or just plain Bad. It makes her belly ache, and gives her some stomach troubles that she prefers avoiding if she can.

When it comes to non-plant proteins, Ina prefers fish, despite the fact that bad fish could make her pretty sick as well.

headcanons:

Ina has no taste at all when it comes to music. She either really loves the worst stuff, or hates the best sgtuff, and there's not really an inbetween.

One of Ina's favourite songs, in fact, isn't even a song. It's a jingle for a local electronics store.

it just gets into your head, y'know!!
