Prompt: Dingomane and Chollapatch have been well-known rivals within the clan since Chollapatch appeared in SaguaroClan territory and was recruited to join.

Luckily for his high rank, Dingomane normally wins most debates or fights involving Chollapatch, often flexing his "superiority" over the mysteriously strange tom. Irritated but a much lower rank than the authority he considers his rival, Chollapatch simply shrugs it off and continues his duties. There's no particular reason the two fight, Agavestar doesn't really pay too much attention to his younger brothers' squabbles with others, he knows his kin can be quite overconfident sometimes and never interferes with their arguments, trusting that their idiocy will figure itself out.

It's still unknown exactly what about Chollapatch sets the charming, normally friendly Dingomane off but it has to be something... right?

Prompt: Rave HATES Gullbelly. The hungry, oblivious, lumbering beast and that slimy, devilish snail... it makes him shudder. They really, REALLY don't like the way Gullbelly looks at him either, like he wants to sink his teeth into Rave and eat him alive. Such a gluttonous cat who seemingly stops at nothing to feel full. It disgusts Rave -- and don't get him wrong, he loves food too! -- the writhing mass of bone and muscle waiting, stalking, just oozing along right under Gullbelly's coat. Something about Gullbelly is deeply wrong. Rave, although born a FloodClan cat, was raised in SwanClan during the Five Moon Flood and didn't have the insanely religious beliefs that most of FloodClan has. To Rave, Gingerswirl's tragedy was just that: a tragedy, uncontrolled. The Pool of Stars is just a place to make cats feel better about their decisions. But Gullbelly... something within that tortie tom makes Rave shudder and their fur prickle. Something almost sinful. Unholy.
But if nothing is holy, or sacred, or blessed to begin with, what does that make Gullbelly? Something worse than absence of virtue, something deeply evil that rots and riots beneath the surface. A feeling of religious unease that burrows into Rave despite their secular views. Something spiritually wrong, something sepulchral in Gullbelly's very flesh.
And still, he walks.

callingsorrel has beef with just about everyone in echoing peaks. it's not that she hates everyone or they hate her though; sorrel is very guarded and defensive because she was treated as less than while growing up. unlike everyone else, she was born to a loner who met an untimely end and was brought to the clan by a border patrol. most cats didn't believe she was worth keeping and would only serve as an extra mouth to feed. obviously she proved them wrong but those insecurities never quite left her.

nowadays sorrel is known for her harsh quips, sassy attitude, and the not-so-uncommon bared teeth. she's afraid that showing weakness will give fuel to the doubters and make them more attentive to her every movement. as someone who is also suppressing her romantic interests, the last thing she wants is someone figuring it out before she's comfortable accepting it.

Prompt:
Most of the refugees get along fine- they're too busy trying to keep each other alive to bother with petty squabbles, for the most part. However, they are not free from the occasional spat.
Skyfire finds it very difficult to work with Crow sometimes. The cranky old cat has a nasty demeanor and most of the time is purely unhelpful if someone isn't critically injured. It frustrates her more that when called upon to do his duty, he is crucial to the team and quite good at it- but the rest of the time, he'd rather sulk in his den than spend any time with his clanmates. She just wishes he were even a little bit more approachable, but he seems to scoff at any form of fun and enjoyment. She doesn't know what happened to him to make him into the furry embodiment of a lemon, but she is determined to figure it out, despite him constantly brushing her off.
Doefoot has an... interesting relationship with Tinderpaw. He really doesn't know what to make of her. Half of the time she's bubbly and cheery, the other half of the time she's pulling pranks and laughing at him. She claims it's all in good fun, but it still gets on his nerves and he bristles when she waltzes off like nothing's happened. He wouldn't mind so much, if she didn't seem to specifically act out and try to embarrass him in front of Dove. He wants to be friends with her, and most of the time she's nice- but he can't get over that mean streak that she seems to be unaware of. Though, maybe he's never actually told her how it makes him feel...

As you approach the craft area again, you are not surprised to see that Pebblecoat is gone once more. Instead, you are greeted with what appears to be a... crudely made cardboard cutout of Mothpaw smiling away behind the booth. Confused, you approach to inspect it further, then hear a small psst from off to the side. Looking around, you notice a caramel paw waving at you from behind a bush. "Over here!" Mothpaw shout-whispers at you, beckoning you to where he has a picnic blanket and more paper hearts and art supplies spread across it.
"Listen, I need your help. It's getting impossible for me to avoid Pebble, she's everywhere! And Billy doesn't help either- that creepy critter has eyes everywhere," he shuddered. "I think I need to... do something to apologize, to get her off my tail. Could you help me?" He gives you a pleading kitten-eyed look.

After spending the rest of your day coming up with a plan for how he can apologize to Pebble, he thanks you, giving you another rainbow heart for the road. "Remember- if you see her again tomorrow, don't tell her anything about this! I want it to be a surprise for when she gets back, and I need a little time to put it together..."

You take some time to etch a cheerful design into the surface, only to reveal...
