Sloosh

Born Oc.t, 25, 2014 - 5+ years old -- 7 digits


He is a crotchety old man that constantly yells at the hatchlings to stay out of his garden. He is the kind of guy that says, "When I was your age I had to fly to school in the middle of a blizzard!" and "What is the world coming to with hatchlings today! Hatchlings today have no respect for their elders!"

He is very nearsighted. He is cold all the time so he always bundles up in coats, boots, scarfs, etc.


Because he is cold all the time, the following kitties took pity on him and hang around with him on his chair, bed, etc. anywhere he sits or lays down to keep him warmer. He mostly appreciates it (but he lets Lunari feed them).

Title: “Cheating (And Being A Sore Loser) Only In[k]cites More Bad Behavior: A Teaching Story Of Medievalredragon’s Clan”

Gather hatchlings to hear the story of Sloosh and Nightfall, two old codgers that frequently cheated at chess..

One day Sloosh tried a move he claimed was legitimate. Nightfall strenuously objected. There began a huge argument resulting in Nightfall upending the gameboard. Sloosh decided that Nightfall needed a “lesson in manners.” Sloosh acquired a spell that would cause ink to explode onto sore losers who disturbed the gameboard. Next game, Sloosh made another arguable move, Nightfall objected, tensions rose, Sloosh smacked the table, the gameboard shook… and ink exploded all over him.

The moral:[Th]ink before you smack

Boffo and Ostara had snuck back to the Training Fields to pick more roses. They then sat under a shady tree and played the “He loves me, he loves me not” petal game After they grew tired of the game, and the hatchling male from their class that they had been talking about, they noticed that they had a mound of petals. They pretended that it was magic fairy dust and threw it at each other shouting for various wishes until they collapsed on the ground giggling. They noticed that they still had some “magic fairy petals” left so they decided that it would be great fun to share the wealth with one of the adult dragons.


“Which one should we pick?” asked Boffo.


“One that is sad so we can wish them not to be sad.”


“Maybe we should pick one that is grump so we can wish them to be happy,” suggested Boffo.


And together they said, “Slush!”


Slush was a grumpy old dragon who was always shouting at the hatchlings to be quieter, less active, and to be more grateful for EVERYTHING, since when he was a hatchling blah, blah, emphatic blah. (The hatchlings never listened past this point in his monologue because he could go on forever). Sloosh lived on the other side of the lair in a small cave with a beautiful garden outside -- so he could hardly complain when they added beautiful petals to it.


The hatchlings ran across the lair and snuck up to Sloosh’s garden den. Lucky for them, Sloosh was sitting at a table under one of his trees cheating at chess with his frenemy Nightfall.


Slush and Nightfall were so busy arguing about a move that that they did not hear the hatchlings approaching, and as they were both nearsighted, did not see them either. When the hatchlings were behind Sloosh, they jumped and threw the petals into the air over Sloosh while shouting, “Make a wish!”


Sloosh was so startled that he smacked the table, which made the game board jump, and the pieces fall this way and that. As the board thumped down on the table a cloud of purple sparkles rose from beneath it (making the hatchlings inhale in wonder and Sloosh in horror) that suddenly became a black ink wave which swerved to explode all over Sloosh. There was a moment of horrified silence on Sloosh’s part, surprised silence on Nightfall’s part, and delight on the hatchlings’ part. Then Nightfall laughed, “I got my wish.” The hatchlings giggled, Sloosh drew in an angry breath but before he could yell at them, the hatchlings scampered away.


(What the hatchlings did not know is that Sloosh had acquired a spell that would cause ink to explode onto sore losers/cheaters that disturbed the gameboard during a game. He had intended it to teach Nightfall a lesson. He forgot the lesson to “[th]ink before you smack.”)
