"I see..." Selene remarked as the other Selene spoke of how her transformations has always been part of her nature as a half-demon. Of course the corporate heiress was no stranger to the fact that as long as demons had walked the Earth amongst humans, there have been demons who've had unions with humans and sired hybrid offspring. Though judging from the way the other girl spoke, it appears that it was something she'd intended to keep as a secret.

"You don't have to sound so bad over it; I for one do not judge you," the corporate heiress reassured the half-demon. Being from a bloodline with ancestors that were of mixed human/demihuman bloodline meant a more liberal, progressive view towards nonhumans was something that was practically ingrained into the Frostfire family's tradition. "Does divine-based magic affect you negatively only when you're transformed? Just curious," the corporate heiress asked.

"Because assuming they don't affect you too badly in your normal state, perhaps wearing a holy trinket on your person might help as a preventive measure? I mean, I remembered a friend of mine... she was basically born part-elemental," Selene recalled Star, who was quarter light-elemental due to her having a human father and a half-elemental mother.

"This made her an exceptionally powerful photomancer, but also very unstable - as overtaxing her powers will cause her elemental blood to flare up, and she lived with the constant fear that her powers could literally eat her alive; if it weren't for a silver cross pendant she wore around her neck at all times - apparently it was enchanted to suppress elementals, this had the side effect of being a limiter on her powers, but at the very least it helped to prevent a runaway on her powers," Selene explained to her identically-named counterpart, wondering if a blessed trinket with bonafide holy powers capable of repelling demons, such as a cross or Buddha pendant, if worn on or carried close to her person could act in a similar capacity as a suppressant the same way Star's pendant did.

"And oh, I suppose for this to be yours I'd have to officially give this to you; which I suppose means I make a solemn statement to pass this on to you, and you agree to accept it," Selene continued as she passed the antique coin to the half-demoness. "So here, take it, it's yours."

Selene accepted the coin and sighed, turning it over in her hands. "While I appreciate the offer, it would not work. I am....allergic to holy magic. I cannot even go near a church without breaking down into a coughing fit. And when I am in contact with holy power, I cannot use my regeneration."

She flipped the coin into the air and held her palm out, opening a mouth on her hand and letting the coin fall in. "Can you and your roommate... keep a secret?" she asked, fixing the other Selene with a questioning stare.

"Y'know, I'm not so sure if keeping it a secret is the wisest thing to do," Selene remarked as the other Selene made a request for her and Yuki to keep the knowledge of her half-demon nature to themselves. "I mean, if your friends know about your nature, at least they may know what to do should you have another flare-up," the corporate heiress looked at the candy mage with concern - at least if Selene's friends knew her true nature, they would be armed with knowledge on preventive measures should the half-demon have another case of her demonic side flaring up.

"Yeah... the last time I had serious problems, I tried to keep it from my friends, thought it was for their good - but in the end... I realized it really did everyone more harm than good," Yuki added, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. Not that she was comfortable with going over the details, but the other Selene's problems sounded a tad worse than just emotional burdens.

"But well, that's just our opinion... since it's your decision to want to let as few know as possible... we can respect that," the corporate heiress continued, nodding slightly. "But if you ever need help, don't hesitate to approach me," Selene concluded.

Selene looked at the two of them. "This is the kind of secret I do not want getting out..." She seemed to hesitate and then a second voice chimed in, "Jeez, if you're not sure where to begin, then I'll explain~"

Selene's hand rose and turned to face them palm out. On the palm of her hand was a mouth, but one that seemed more... animated, than those Selene has shown in the past. "Hello Ladies~ My name is Theia. It is a pleasure to meet you both~"

Selene sighed, "Theia... Why must you always interject like this when I am about to explain things?" The hand the mouth was on turned to face Selene, "Awww come on Selene, You were totally stalling. I just wanted to get the ball rolling is all~"

"... hi?" Yuki blinked in surprise, and out of habit returned the greeting of the second voice before thinking too much about it, and as the other Selene held out a hand to have the palm face the two girls it became clear where the voice originated from, a mouth that appeared on the half-demon's hand, much like she'd done so earlier. "Whoa, what..." the pink-haired miko gasped in momentary shock, backing towards her guardian Nora, still not finding herself used to the sight of mouths at where they shouldn't normally be.

"It's alright, Yuki-chan, I think she means us no harm," the leonine spirit replied, folding one of her wings over the girl. "After all, if she were out to do us harm, she would have most likely attacked us the moment she transformed instead of telling us how to suppress her transformation," she continued as Yuki emerged from behind the protective cover of her guardian spirit's wings.

"Well met then, Theia," Selene bowed as she acknowledged the greeting of what appears to be another entity inside the half-demon girl's body. An alternate personality? Or two entities cohabiting the same body? The corporate heiress didn't know for sure. "Well alright then, what's this secret you're looking for us to keep?" the corporate heiress asked.

"Ooh, right to the good part? Pity. I do enjoy a little foreplay before the main course, but if you insist~ In order to understand what our secret is and why we want you to keep it, I suppose you'll need a bit of a history lesson." said Theia.

Selene sighed, "Theia, you know I hate it when you tell this. Must we really tell them about...that?" she asked, her voice taking on a questioning tone with a hint of exasperation.

"You're the one who lost control in their dorm room. And you were the one who was going to tell them. I'm just helping things along~ Now where was i? Oh right~ As I'm sure you guessed by now, we are not entirely human. To be specific we are half human and half demon. Our mother was a human and our father was a half demon. Normally this would result in diluted blood, but as we've discovered, due to the curse on our bloodline, all children born to our...bloodline inherit only the demonic blood from the half demon parent. However the nature of the blood differs. Our father was half wrath demon, however we are half gluttony demon. Hence the mouths and the vestigial digestive system~"

Selene and Yuki listened as Selene - or rather - Theia told the other two girls about her and Selene's story, about how they were born of a human mother and half-demon father; which reminded the corporate heiress of her friend Star Ricci, only with "half-demon" swapped out for "half-elemental", and that it was her mother that isn't fully human. But unlike the photomancer, being of human and half-demon heritage did not dilute her demonic blood in Selene and Theia's case due to a curse that runs in her family.

"But I'm wondering, Theia," Selene chimed in, addressing the other voice coming from the half-demon girl. "If your father is a half wrath demon, how did you end up being a half gluttony demon if the curse works as you said, causes you to only inherit the half-demon genes?" Of course Selene had heard of hybrid offspring between humans and other species, but the other Selene was a case that pretty much flew in the face of everything the summoner had read so far.

"And I'm also curious, Selene-san..." Yuki raised a hand as if asking for permission for her to speak her piece - the miko's had her fair share of tutelage in demon and youkai lore in no small part thanks to teachings from her ancestor Mio and mentor Terado as well as quiet reading in private moments, but just like the summon magus, what she was currently seeing was also something that she had a hard time wrapping her mind around. "You and Theia-san, how is it that there are two of you in the same body? Are you like alternate personalities, or two souls cohabiting the same body?"

"Ooh! You're jumping ahead, Yuki~ I'll get to that in juuuust a minute~ Let me answer your question first, Selene Frostfire." said Theia, turning her mouth to face Selene Frostfire. "Our family's blood contains that of many demons. We're not sure why, but whenever a child is born, there is a chance they will inherit the traits of any demon though so far there have only been seven types recorded in our family history."

At this point Selene jumped in. "Those types being wrath, greed, pride, sloth, lust, envy, and of course gluttony. Each type has granted our ancestors many powers and abilities, but the common threads remain the same."

"So while there might be two gluttony half demons with seemingly different powers, they will somehow connect to the concept of gluttony~ Does that make sense?" asked Theia as both Selene and her paused in their explanation to allow responses.

"Seven types of demons, each corresponding to one of the seven deadly sins, I see," Selene remarked as Theia shared how her family's bloodline consists of that of many demons, of which seven types were documented, each corresponding to one of the seven deadly sins, with Selene/Theia being a half-demon of gluttony, which certainly explains the ability to sprout mouths and all.

"Aye, that does make sense," the corporate heiress continued, before glancing over to Yuki. "So, regarding Yuki-chan's question, I'm curious as to what's the deal with you being called Selene as well as Theia, and through it all, you're both speaking in distinctly different voices and having rather recognizable personalities," the corporate heiress commented, with Theia being the more outspoken of the two, and Selene being more reserved.

"To be honest it's just easier this way~ I mean can you imagine how confusing it would be if we told people to stop 'Selene'? Ok, which Selene?" asked Theia, "Gaia took her name because she hates Selene and doesn't want anything to do with her. Selene was our original name and since shes the one normally piloting this body, it seemed fitting she take it. As for me... I wanted to fit the theme~"

Selene spoke up next, "When we were young...an incident happened which cause us to form. We're not sure which one of us was the original personality, or even if the real one still exists. As far as we remember, we've always existed this way."

"Selene got all our positive emotions, Gaia got all the negative ones, and I kind of exist in between~ You could say I'm our compromising personality~!" Theia said happily. "I think you can understand why we keep her locked up. All those unrestrained demonic powers plus unbridled rage, anger, frustration, etc equals an unstoppable force of chaos and destruction~"

"Selene, Theia and... Gaia?" Selene wondered as the other Selene spoke of a third personality named Gaia, who apparently hates the particular personality that was named Selene. It certainly sounded like the three personalities had a rather complicated - to say the least - relationship with one another as Theia continued to elaborate, although the half-demon implied that she didn't start off with multiple personalities, until a particular incident during her childhood.

"Now this couldn't have been mere coincidence that you have three personalities," the corporate heiress mused as Theia explained how Selene had the positive emotions, which explained why she was the amiable one, Gaia held the negative emotions - which although she'd yet to speak the summoner guessed would probably be a "bloody bugger". And then there's Theia, who presented herself as the balanced personality. "I'm no expert on psychology, but from the looks of it, your Id, Ego, and Superego somehow took on their own consciousness each."

"Id, Ego and what?" Yuki chimed in, giving the summoner and half-demon an inquisitive look. The pink-haired miko was able to follow somewhat, until the other Selene completely lost her when she started elaborating on the rather complicated relationship between the three personalities - Selene, Gaia and Theia.

"It's a theory on the human psyche written by German psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud; while his ideas are largely discredited today, they are still often looked up and explored into by popular media," Nora explained to her charge, the leonine guardian reverting back into her harmless-looking winged cat form after concluding at this point that the half-demon posed no threat. Flitting over to the couch, the guardian spirit would yawn before curling her body up and settling back into her nap.

"Oh, but is there any danger of Gaia breaking loose then?" the pink-haired girl asked, concern and worry on her voice. This Gaia personality did sound pretty dangerous based on what Theia had told them, and while for now safely contained by the other two, there was no doubt the nagging concern that the possibility of this malevolent personality resurfacing was a very real one. At least, the miko hoped that Selene and Theia would have some kind of failsafe in place should the worst-case scenario come to pass. Of course, she hoped it would never have to come down to this - but this being Hyakuji, that might be a little too much to hope for.

"Well normally Gaia is kept nice and quiet in our head. I keep an eye on her and help contain her when she gets agitated and Selene keeps eating to keep her fed and mollified. Of course the more Selene uses her demonic powers, the stronger Gaia gets. And if she goes without eating like she has been, her powers get even stronger, but Gaia does too~" Theia replied. "Of course there were extenuating circumstances this time as Selene was trying to heal some broken ribs, but it was a close call. Any longer and we would have pulled the ol' switcheroo~"

"What she means is that I go in to pacify Gaia while Theia finds and eats all the food she can." Selene explained. "Normally the two of us cannot be out at the same time, but that shock of divine power shocked her into unconsciousness for now so the four of us can talk."

"So in short, overtaxing your powers, stress and physical trauma can stimulate Gaia's reawakening?" the corporate heiress asked, the whole thing with the other Selene strangely reminiscent of Star. Only in Star's case it wasn't so much of a malignant split personality that threatens her, but rather the inherent incompatibility between human blood and elemental essence, which seemed like something more akin to an autoimmune response by the elemental part of her DNA, attacking the part of the girl that is human due to supposed "threat" much like how a body's immune systems would kick in against a viral or bacterial infection, but not recognizing both to in fact belong to the same entity.

"Eh... so I guess Gaia is out for the time being so you two can be here talking to us instead of trying to keep her in check?" Yuki asked, walking over to the couch. Although just before the pink-haired girl could sit down she suddenly perked up, before turning around to face the other two girls. "Just wondering... any of you guys hungry or thirsty? I think all that talking must've made you two thirsty..." she remarked, glancing over to the kitchen.

"Aye, I don't suppose you'd like some more water? Or perhaps some juice? Or maybe a pot of tea might be more to your fancy?" the corporate heiress asked, momentarily digressing from the talk about Selene's nature to see if the half-demon could use a drink, or perhaps a meal, seeing how neither Yuki nor Selene had their dinner yet, and if the other Selene was feeling hungry they could always prepare dinner with an extra portion for the half-demon.

"I could use some tea, yes. And something to eat if it is not much trouble." said Selene. "My ribs have healed enough that I can risk having some food."

"Anyway where was I? Oh right! Anyway normally I'm in our head keeping Gaia nice and docile while Selene keeps her fed. But when she wakes up, Selene has to go in and keep her suppressed while I find us some eats fast." said Theia. "Truthfully there is a way to take some of the stress off Selene, but she hates it when I discuss it~"

"Theia! You are not to tell anyone about that!" Selene snapped, covering the mouth on her hand with her other hand. "Ignore her please."

"What would you like to have then, Selene?" the corporate heiress asked as she went to the kitchen to retrieve her tea sets. "Some black tea perhaps? Assam? Ceylon? Or maybe Darjeeling? Or would you rather have some green tea?" the summoner inquired as she sifted through the various containers holding high-quality whole leaf teas, ranging from Assam to Tamaryokucha.

"I'll prepare the food!" Yuki chimed in as the pink-haired girl saluted cheerfully before heading over to the refrigerator, pondering on whether to prepare precooked stuff such as finger foods, or to take the fresh ingredients to make a full meal. "What would you like? Rice and maybe a few dishes to go? Or would you prefer something that's more all-in-one, such as soup ramen?" she asked, before taking a step back to blow on her hands after realizing she'd been exposing herself to the cold air of the fridge for a tad too long for her comfort.

"Here's something to nibble on in the meantime though," Selene remarked to the other Selene as she handed a small plate to the half-demon, with a Pink Lady (also known as Cripps Pink) apple and some blueberries, before heading back to the kitchen to check on what Yuki was intending to make, at least until she heard the sudden exclamation from the half-demon on how Theia was about to share something that Selene would rather not share.

"You don't have to share if you don't want to, but if it could help you and your friends, why not?" the corporate heiress remarked, deciding to settle for Earl Grey, preparing the tea set, along with the necessary condiments to go with a spot of tea - namely creamer and choice of either sugar or honey for sweetening.
