About Baldr's Temple Baldr's home is a beachfront condo situated along a shoreline. Here and there, you can find accents that are more Norse and also more Japanese. The building has several large windows, which will be open to let in light and fresh air. The main landing contains the spacious kitchen, breakfast den, dining room, and large living space. The back patio contains a koi pond plus a shrine to Baldr. There are hammocks and cozy couches near the house for entertaining and relaxing. [Pic #1] | [Pic #2] | [Pic #3]
Presents & Birthday Boys Want to just drop something off and run? That's cool. There's one table to the left as you come in Baldr's temple that's labeled LEO and one to the right labeled ROXAS. LEO table prompt and ROXAS table prompt But what's a birthday party without the guests of honor, even if they weren't aware of it beforehand? That's what surprise parties are all about!LEO top level and ROXAS top level		Hosts & Notables Sora > Roxas's partner & it's his temple > Prompt Here (TBA) Forrest > Leo's son & Party Planner > Prompt Here Kairi > Roxas's Shinki & Party Planner > Prompt Here Niles and Saïx > Leo's Shinki Senri and Raichi > Roxas's Shinki
Outside: Artemis Temple side While not directly connected to the Artemis Temple, Baldr's temple is a stone's throw away from Artemis's Temple, which is a more forested area. Thus, the side of Baldr's temple closest to Artemis's is littered with baldr’s brow, lilly of the valley, wild chamomile and other flowers as well. Feel free to lurk this way if you need a quiet moment away from the energy of the party. This is also where you can find a couple "adult" games set up on tables: two decks of playing cards chess checkers go backgammon Mancala aka Bao		Outside: Beachside On the opposite side of Artemis' temple, a long stretch of beach and a small patch of inland "ocean" can be found. It's the Far Shore, don't ask. From the dock, you can take a small sailboat big enough for 3 adults out a good ways before a cloudy sort of "fog" starts to route you back towards shore. There are also several games & activities set up on the beach! Beach Bowling Frisbees Volleyball Tug of War - if you can get a team! Squirt Guns and Nerf Water Guns for "tag" Bocce Ball Fishing
Food There is a buffet-style spread in the kitchen for making your own tacos, with an impressive number of veggies & non-meat options available: tomatoes, onions, peppers, lettuce, spinach, carrots, cheese, and sour cream. Someone apparently likes tomatoes, so there's tomato salsa with an assortment of chips, little baked cups with heirloom tomatoes in them, and chilled soup shots. Don't worry, there's regular pop/soda and water too. On another countertop of the kitchen, there is also a fruit spread with a very tropical variety, like pineapple, watermelon, and strawberries. Fruit dip is included. For the carnivores, there is also an outdoor grill setup to do shish-kabobs and fish. Someone probably has alcohol, but the (underaged) hosts didn't bring it. It was Niles, who are we kidding.		Movietime In the living room, a couple of movies are available that they picked up: an animated kid's flick about talking, dancing animals a live-action comedy about the biggest Santa's helper a live-action sports action-comedy Enjoy the comfy giant pillows and a few extra bean bag chairs so that as many people as possible can crowd in.
Leo's Cake Designed with a fondness for horses in mind, there are also edible pretzel "wands" dipped in chocolate! Both cakes are in the dining room with plates and plastic utensils.		Roxas's Cake The whole cake has variegated frosting to look like a sunset, prominently featuring two bucks in a forested setting. Adjacent to the cake are two flavors of ice cream - mint chocolate chip, vanilla, and a special blend resembling sea salt - plus bowls and several topping options: cherries, sprinkles, chocolate hardshell, and whipped cream in particular.
