As expected, Markus Kekahi passed away on Monday at the age of 71, leaving a generous life insurance payment to his family. Jackson used the money to expand The Snack Shack, adding a food stand off the back facing the beach and installing a piano for live entertainment. While these measures didn't quite get the restaurant up to profitable status, they did drastically decrease the losses being incurred, as well as help Jackson get the rank back up to 10. Jackson also determined that he didn't really need two servers, but was loathe to fire either his aunt or uncle, so I had him leave them underpaid until one of them (Marina) quit. With the lowered salary expense, Jackson might just be able to make a profit next week. He's also planning to open a business of his own, so we'll see how that goes next time.
Marsha literally rocked the Music career this round. She earned three (or four?) promotions, reaching the top and becoming a Rock God. There's no real benefit to reaching the top, as Music is already fully open, but the bonuses really helped and now she can use up vacation days before retiring. That means she'll be available to help Jackson out with his new business venture.
On the personal front, Jackson has not found a single lady in town that he has more than one bolt for except Mckenna Lane, which isn't likely to lead anywhere. He did spend some time chatting up some of the one bolters, but doesn't really seem all that interested in them. Eli is, of course, dating Raven Collins now. Cherry has two bolts for Brady Lane, but has not acted on them. Vanessa, who grew into a teen on Monday right after her father died (Jackson also aged up to adult the same day), is gay, but since all the other teens in town are straight, she doesn't really have any options at the moment. She did spend some time hanging out with a townie woman that Jackson wasn't interested in, but her cousin Andrew was also spotted flirting with the same woman, so I don't know if she'll be a prospect later on.
The Kekahis owed $6,567.00 in taxes, plus back taxes. They were able to pay the entire balance of $14,897.00, bringing the total community fund to $74,078.00.
