Rating: B for Business-Casual

[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.]

[He knows all this, quirking one corner of his mouth, but he'll just take that he doesn't have to explain it. Leonhardt's understanding and cooperation is all he needs.]

I'm glad to hear that, not going to lie.

It'll be a week or two yet before everything is prepared. I'll let you know as soon as it is.

[eyesofstrength]

[He expects that Shikamaru would know that, but of course it's the confirmation that both of them are aware that truth is important and how difficult this is with sources being harder to check in a place where information is lacking.]

And I'm glad to hear someone wants to finally gather it all in one place. All I care about is finding a way home and not returning this time. Whatever it takes to accomplish that is something I'll do, and that includes sharing what I've already done.

[endgames]

Then I'm glad to have you.

[Handshakes are appropriate, yeah?]

[eyesofstrength]

[Handshakes are fine. While Leonhardt usually isn't one for touching people, he tends to trust people he's fought with a lot more than most. If Shikamaru offers his hand, Leonhardt will shake it with a firm and confident grip after making sure to put down his writing instruments. And then write his response.]

When you have things ready I can be found in house 24 or the Battle Dome. It isn't as if I have anything better to do than scour the journals and train.

[endgames]

[Shikamaru nods.]

I'll pay you a visit when the time comes. You'll be informed before the drop boxes are in place, though it might take some time before we have much to work with.

[Almost assuredly, it'll be the house he'll visit when that happens.]

[eyesofstrength]

[The house is indeed fine, or he wouldn't have mentioned it. Actually, he's always home, even if it's just one of his shadows there doing busywork.]

We could always start by pooling together what we already have if it does take time. Ensuring that all involved start with the same base of knowledge will only be a benefit and any you would propose this to likely have something to provide that others may not have.

[endgames]

[He tilts his head, and nods.] That was part of the plan too. It was one of the reasons I asked for a regular like you, and a few others.

[eyesofstrength]

[Not surprising at all. It does appear Shikamaru has thought of most everything.]

Then it sounds like you have most things covered. I'll keep an eye out for your message then.
