Week 12 begins with the founder's lot. Things were moving fairly slowly early in the week. Ryan had Tuesday-Thursday off from work, so I decided to have Davon run Keanu's General Store for those three days, so that Ryan could do the baking. During that time, Davon discovered that he needed more help, so hired an elderly townie to tend the juice bar, while manager Meadow Pederson handled the register and Davon stocked and helped customers. A lot of money was made and the business remained at rank 10. Over at Lei Fleur, business was also booming, though the customers were fairly cranky for some reason, so it took the entire work week to get the remaining stars to rank up to level 10. I decided to have Makala bring Andrew with her for a couple of days, so that he could start learning flower arranging. At home, she worked on passing the few non-money business perks she's obtained, though I'm not sure they'll be of much use to him. Ryan finally got promoted in Culinary; he's got one more promotion to go to reach the top, which will unlock Culinary for everyone. Adrienne also got a promotion; I'm not sure if she needs one or two more to reach the top.
As expected, Adrienne and Davon struggled to get pregnant again, but on Adrienne's last day of fertility they finally did. This is where things started to get chaotic. Adrienne was due to give birth Saturday morning. At about 1:00 a.m. Saturday, Ryan got abducted. I was pretty excited about it since Ryan still had a couple days of fertility left and I love alien babies. Plus, Ryan's child would be half-siblings to Adrienne's brother Hunter's kids, making for a complicated, but interesting family tree. However, when Ryan was returned home, no lullaby sounded. A few hours later I found out why. Adrienne gave birth to twin girls, bringing the household to 8 sims. Go figure Adrienne decides to go and get fertile in the 11th hour. In any event, since the twins (Amelia and Elizabeth) were born before six on Saturday, they were due to age up on Sunday. Adrienne was also aging up to elder on Sunday. Incidentally, Jordan aged up to child earlier in the week. I noticed on Saturday that Makala's life bar was not looking great, so I went ahead and had her pass the business over to Andrew as well as all the stock she had in her inventory. It's a good thing because just as Davon was working on inviting all their family and friends over to celebrate Adrienne's and the twins' birthdays on Sunday, Makala passed away at the age of 65. As you can imagine, the party was a complete suckfest with everyone being sad about Makala's death. I didn't expect her to go so soon; she wasn't even the oldest Kekahi sibling. Makala will be the first sim to reside in the Kahua Cemetery, as I'm keeping Marylena's urn and Keanu's fake urn here on the founder's lot.
Taxes this week came to $10,425.00, bringing the community total to $10,630.00. Their tax contribution alone nearly paid for the cemetery, so it's fitting that they'd be the first to use it.
