The main street was pretty lively. Of course, that was to be expected. People from all the three factions were gathered here. I had gone mainly because I needed to show some kind of support and loyalty to my faction, even though I did regret my choice to join them.
Apparently there was some kind of political meeting going on inside the Kage’s castle, and what happened there would decide whether or not we started killing each other right here and now. Hopefully it would go well. I was nervous enough as it is. I prayed this big gathering wouldn’t turn into another fight.
Even though we were all gathered on the main road of the village, the people were clearly divided into factions. I had seen some people I knew when I got here, both from my own faction and from others. I hadn’t dared to speak to them, though. And right now I stood leaned against a building, keeping my eyes downward at the ground. I didn’t want to risk getting eye contact with anyone. I didn’t want to risk anything that could worsen the situation. Because this was really nerve-wrecking for me.
A few people had started arguing about what would be the best thing to do. Clearly they didn’t have enough patience to wait until the business in the castle had been cleared. From the sound of it, it seemed like at least one of them was a member of my faction, the Dragon. Of course, I didn’t say anything, but I did wonder, quietly to myself, what would be the best thing to do. And what the people in the castle would decide.
I didn’t really understand why this whole situation with the factions had begun. I didn’t really remember. I knew that the Fox faction and the Phoenix faction had existed since some time after the invasion three years ago. And when the Dragon faction joined the party, it escalated into this current situation. Of course this demand for change was because a lot of people were dissatisfied with how the village was run right now. Personally, I didn’t think it was perfect, but nothing was. I didn’t really feel that great of a need for change. But since it had been troublesome and almost dangerous to stay neutral, I had picked a side anyway. Too bad I regretted that now. It felt like I wasn’t good at decision-making.
Personally, it would make me very calm if everyone could just reach a decision, no matter what it was. Of course, all factions had parts I strongly disagreed with, so no matter what happened, I would have complaints. And also, all factions had good ideas. It would’ve been better if we just combined the good things. But then again, the “good things” were probably different depending on who you asked. If everything went according to what I wanted, that wouldn’t make everyone happy, either.
I sighed lowly to myself. Couldn’t they just hurry up in there? I was getting really anxious from this atmosphere…
Suddenly, the people around me started moving, which forced me out of my train of thought and back into reality. At first, I thought matters had finally been settled and the Akarikage had announced something and I missed it. But it turned out to be something entirely different. Something that made my anxiousness not fade but grow.
Apparently, something had been sensed outside the wall. Something bad.

4. Showdown at Main Street.
The Showdown at Main Street. All three factions are gathering in preparation to do battle.
On the north side of the Street, Dragon Faction Supporters gather - Starting a demonstration.
From the south near all the shops, the Phoenix Faction gathers as well, also spouting their views.
Meanwhile from the East by the Castle, the Fox Faction set up their own demonstration.
It's a tense moment as any of the three Factions could attack and start a large scale battle,
so far no one's making a move... But depending what happens in the Political meeting, that could change.
The Shikaku Seiei (The Faction Traitors only) wait outside the castle - Barring entry within,
while the court room is occupied with the Political meeting that will decide what happens.

Your Task:
Draw or Write about your character's Actions while during the Showdown at Main Street.
Whether your character is demonstrating with signs and scrolls, or just there for support,
the streets are packed with Faction members - lined up like armies about to do battle.
There is also an option to not participate, but sitting around won't teach you as much.
Reward for Participating in the Showdown: 1 Mission Credit, +/-Clan Karma.
Reward for NOT Participating/Staying home: No Credit, but Karma is nullified (No effect).

This is probably a bit boring to read, but it was the only mission I had inspiration for. And also, you get to follow Natsu's train of thought regarding the political situation, if you're intrested in that XD

Coming from someone that kinda knows how Natsu felt and feels about this whole situation, it was still very nice and refreshing to read and get a new sense of how it was near the end of the first faction incursion.
Still I appreciate the whole in her mind trip cause it's nice just to know.
Good job girl!!
