[I'm low-key curious]

Sorry this took a little while to get around to, but thanks so much for the fun ask! Have its ref as a bonus.

"Arsay!" Lehon'a exclaimed as she caught up to the other Miqo'te, stopping her on the streets of True Vue. "A little chocobo told me it's your nameday today, is that right?"

"Sure, that's true. Why do you ask?"

"Well..." A grin grew across Lehon'a's face as she pulled a couple slips of paper from her jacket pocket. "A friend of mine is playing this new music made using Alexandrian tech at a club just down the way, and I thought maybe we might celebrate with a night of dancing and drinks!" She pointed to the establishment as she spoke, not even remotely hiding her enthusiasm for the idea. "They gave me two tickets, so this one's got your name on it."

"Sounds like fun, so let's do it!" Arsay replied, plucking one of the tickets from Lehon'a's grip with a smile.

The club's lighting echoed the same neon pink and blue color scheme present all across the city, though the contrast was intensified by the lack of ambient light inside. The DJ booth stood to one side of the space, elevating its occupant above the dancefloor, and a few scattered tables sat opposite. There was a small crowd gathered already, most likely the die-hard fans and true party animals.

A hrothgar in reflective glasses climbed up in front of the DJ equipment, and nearly everyone in the club turned their attention to her.

"Come on, we made it just in time!" Lehon'a said in a hushed tone, waving Arsay to the front of the crowd. "The sound right here is the best, and we should have enough room to let loose."

Her train of thought was cut off as the voice of an announcer came over the sound system: "Solution Nine, make some noise! For one night only: the sensational, the electric, the queen of bumpin' beats herself: DJ Stardust!"

Lehon'a and Arsay shared a look that grew into a pair of wicked grins as the first song began to play, and it wasn't long before the whole crowd was swept up into the futuristic melodies and driving rhythms of the music, and all but the most stubborn of wallflowers were on their feet and on the dancefloor.

As the night eventually wound to a close many hours and dance moves later, Lehon'a closed her eyes, drinking in the last outro of DJ Stardust's final song. Try hard as she might, she just couldn't imagine a better time than sharing the dancefloor with a friend. Happy nameday, Arsay! Hope we can do this again sometime, she thought to herself, opening her eyes to see Arsay offering one last round of applause to the DJ before the party's end.

The Women of Ba’al Hadad

In the mythic and ritual texts from Ugarit appear three goddesses within Ba’al Hadad’s household - Arsay, Pidray, and Tallay. It is still debated whether they are Hadad’s daughters or brides or both, but they accompany Hadad throughout the Ba’al Cycle either in a pair (as Tallay and Pidray) or in a trio.

Thank you so much! :D
