First message

Cole went to the rec room with the intent of relaxing. He was finally done with training, and could catch a break after yet another harsh course. The shower was nice after being covered in all the muck, and marinating in his own sweat, for more than 4 hours. He was used to that from his early days, of course, though the intervals between drills and the small comfort of the shower were longer. Here? Luxurious, albeit more difficult training. But there was one thing he wanted to do to wind down. Write an entry or two to his journal.

The Rainbow recruit knocked on the door before opening them, pleasantly surprised that nobody was occupying the space. He settled down in one of the armchairs, opened his journal, clipped the page to hold it open and took his favorite pen. Cole wrote about his day, the general template he made consisting of what he had for his meals, the most exciting thing or the thing he's most grateful for today, what he learned...

The sound of a pen gliding across the paper was interrupted by the knock on the door. Pausing mid-sentence, Cole turned his head towards the door at the same time as the newcomer walked into the rec room. "Good evening." He greeted the newcomer politely with certain shyness in his voice.
