Jake had gone to sleep almost immediately as soon as his head hit the pillow, and his body collapsed on the futon.  Even so, in the morning he felt as if he hadn’t slept at all.  His night plagued by nightmares.  All starting of dreaming of the women naked before turning into nightmares about the thing that appeared from the forest and… yeah, it was not restful sleep.<br/><br/>He had collapsed the first open spot of floor he could set his futon on in the house they had been staying in.<br/><br/>As soon as he woke up and started preparing to go, like the others, one of his hosts presented him with gifts of food.  He wasn’t stupid enough to refuse the gifts.  Having been one of the ones prepared for a long trip, he had all the supplies he needed at the start… but the trouble they had run into had depleted that severly.  The food he could not turn down and hope to survive.  At least he still had his tent and sleeping bag.  He also did not refuse the clothing that he was offered.  He needed it.  A spare old yukata and a few sets of jeans and shirts.  All plain in color, but very much wanted.  At least he still had his own swim trunks and the two stones he had collected on this trip.<br/><br/>At the offer of the beedrill, Jake turned it down.  He wanted to catch his own pokemon, and didn’t have one he was willing to trade.<br/><br/>Once everything was set he moved to meet with the others.  Eve following along at his side and met up with The girls.  He smiled at the mention of the boat.<span style="color: green">“Thank you Brollem.  But I agree with the girls… I don’t think any of us know how to drive a boat.”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
