[This is the log in which Shikamaru collects people and they get to talking about the task at hand for disseminating information, and possibly recruits them into the agency thereafter if they're still interested. People will likely be showing up at different times, so he speaks to everyone one-on-one instead of in a group.

The proposal will be offered to each character who shows up casually - no hard feelings whatever you decide to do - but with firmness. This is a group that will be dedicated to intelligence research and analysis, not information gathering. It's nothing flashy or exciting, but he expects discretion and it's a job that shouldn't be taken lightly. Those who accept the offer will be told things should be up and running withing two weeks.]

[ooc: because so many people ended up included, the way this organization will work needed to be re-tooled a little (hence why this is a day late). I've written up an in-depth look at how the agency will operate to clarify everything (please read it!), as well as created a new community (

luceti_analysts) that anyone is welcome to track/join.]

[Yuffie being Yuffie is unable to pass up any secrety note. Even if that means showing up all colorful from that dodgeball game. Which means she might be showing up a bit before 10.

She won't make much of an entrance, only walking in, and waiting to see who comes up to her.]

[Fun fact: Shikamaru had meant to hold this meeting at the barracks until he remembered it'd probably still be in use as the pirate's (huff) base in that game. Having been involved earlier, he has a good guess what she was up to earlier.]

...had fun?

Oh yeah, most fun that I've had since I got here.

[And she's even still dawning her ninja armband to. This one had too much fun.]

So I'm gonna guess you're the one that called?

That's me. Shikamaru, is the name.

[Same one that would've been signed on the invitation. Given Yuffie is someone he doesn't know as well, he invitation might have vaguely outlined a few other things, namely that this is an intelligence operation.]

And I take it you were interested?

I'd probably guess you know who I am, since I'm here at all. But the name's Yuffie.

Yep. Gonna need a bit more info before I say I'm totally in though.

All right. [He gestures for them to move away from the door before he takes a seat on the chair.]

First let me ask: like I said in the invitation, this is all about analysis and research over actual info gathering. It's all about discretion. Can you work with that?

[Because there's no point going into the rest if she's going to be bored or can't keep a secret. Since he doesn't know her well he has to ask. 8|a]

[And she will follow, easily falling into a chair. She hasn't sat down for a while..]

Easily. That was part of my job back home. [But she gets why he has to ask. She doesn't exactly look like a stealthy person at the moment.]

[PRETTY MUCH. Even if one of his friends runs-- used to around in bright orange.]

Yeah? What else can you tell me about that?

[She easily beats that with her full body tie-dye job...maybe.]

Well...what exactly do you want to know about it? [She will give the full job history of her past month if he wants.]

Anything.

[This is actually a trick question, so.]

Alright, the simple version then.

For the past few months it was my job to spy on a new group. Next it would've been my job to figure out what kind of information was important, and who I should've given it to, then go to the person who needed a full brief, and help them.

Only the last few months?

That's when I got called in for it. The group was completely unknown to everyone before that.

Well I'd figured you'd been associated with the people you worked for before that.

Yeah, saved the world with the puppet of the guy that's in charge, but I'm the only one qualified enough to do that part of the job.

[She's being vague enough that he thinks he can pass her on discretion. Not likely to get more without being more aggressive, and if someone tried that, he gets the impression she could handle it.]

This is up your alley in more ways than one, is the impression I'm getting.

Great! I was hoping to find something like this so I wouldn't die of boredom.

[She's really not even tryin to be disctete, but he's welcome to test her all he wants.]

[He probably will in the time to come. Not just her.]

Heh. I don't know about that. Lot of it's gonna be working in a stuffy room and fact checking.

...Does it have to be a stuffy room?

[Up a tree sounds nicer than that.]

The information needs to be kept in a safe place.

Then get a guard or something, because nobody will be able to do good work in a place like that.

They can't do it outdoors either. Everyone's free to theorize on their own time, but discussing these things in public is ill-advised.

Well, I guess we can't go crazy as long as we aren't stuck in a room for too long.

Ha. [Don't worry, he's not eager for that either.] Two meetings a week. How's that sound?

Like I said, this is gonna help cure my boredom, so that's just fine.
