Candle Cove Remembrance

How to start making sense of it all? You start from the beginning. For me, it has to be Candle Cove. This post will acted as a sort of notes or memories of that show. I know that the show and the other incidents are interconnected. Hell, I think it shaped my life.

Information:

Candle Cove used to be syndicated on local TV channels during the 70's. Used to run either 4:00 pm or 6:00 pm, but some reruns in the morning or early afternoon wasn't rare. The show consisted of puppets and two humans, a girl and a man (One good and the other evil). The show ended abruptly around three years of its first episode.  The weird thing about it is, once it got cancelled, no one seems to really remembered the show. As if it disappeared into dead air.

Synopsis:

The show is about the quest for the mysterious treasure of Candle Cove. Later on, it's explained that the treasure or one of the treasures is the Muse of the Cove. So the merry Laughtingstock crew has to obtained it before the Skin Taker and his minions. The muse/treasure acts as a MacGuffin.

Locations:

In the entire show except from few exceptions (First Episode begins getting out of a sea-port called Oceania.)  the location was Candle Cove. A weird, majestic, beautiful place. An impossible island. The deeper they go in the island, the darker and more enigmatic it got. As some sort of protection against intruders. The only ones that could have stop some of the cove's traps was the humans connection to the center of the cove.

Characters:

Janice = the  (human) girl on the side of the good pirates (Laughtingstock). She gets transported into the Candle Cove world to be used as an avatar. She is the voice of reason of the crew. She could be naive, but she is intelligent. Sometimes solving the worse of puzzles.

Pirate Percy = The pirate captain of the Laughingstock. He has a sense of adventure and will do anything to have a funner trip. He is one of the few honorable pirates in the Candle Cove universe. Even though, he is extremely greedy and loves to gamble. Hi jinx always follow him because of those two flaws.

Poppy = The second in the command or first mate of the Laughingstock. He is careful and analytical. He is the most cowardly of the entire crew, but he holds a big contempt to his crew and Janice. He will always be the first to sacrifice himself to save any of his crew and their dreams.

Laughingstock (ship) = it may looked like a normal pirate ship, but this ship has a spirit inside it. According to the legend or rules of the Candle Cove universe, every single ship has a guardian spirit. A heart and soul of the ship. It had a catchphrase " you have to go inside" Which out of context sounds creepy, but in reality it mean to look inside yourself to find the strength to overcome any obstacle. It acts as a sort of paternal/maternal figure for the crew and especially Janice, who sometimes feels homesick.

Sir Noah the Chef = the angry chef of the Laughtingstock. He isn't the adventure type, only been in the ship because of a debt that Percy owes him. Most of the time staying at the ship. Him and the ship relationship sometimes acts as a morality duo.

Edward "Pine" Silver = the ship's navigator. A wanderer and always looking at the stars to find answer and sometimes his glasses . Always absentminded, but having a genius intellect. He always follows Percy's ridiculous plans just to find different angle of the sky.

Horace Horrible = One of the three main antagonist of the show. He is the captain of the Woe Serra Pirates. He has a big mustache and have a monocle. He has a gentlemen attitude and wants the treasure of the cove, just to destroy his rival Pirate Percy. Even though he is a captain, he is one of the commanders of the Abysmal Infinitum Organization, whose leader is the Skin Taker.

Skin Taker = The evil leader of Abysmal Infinitum Organization. He is a walking skeleton with a skin cape and a skin top hat. He lost his skin because of some failed experiment to capture Absolution Omega, one of the five balances of the world. Now obsess to take the essences of other to grow stronger and now wanting the muse, to become a God. He is very efficient on science and magic, but his body with is dead, limits his strength. Since he needs major concentration to maintain himself in existences.

David= A (human) man who acts as the dark avatar, the polar opposite of Janice. Both (he and Janice) comes from their same world. He is always dresses in dark clothing. He isn't necessarily evil, but he could be selfish. He acts as a protection from the Island's trap for the organizations. He wants the muse for himself, so he would be the sort of inspiration itself. He is constant liar and wants to take over Skin Taker's organization. Thinking that old relics should rust off in a museum.

Abysmal Infinitum Organization/Woe Serra crew = They were once normal (puppets) folks with soul and individuality. Until the Skin Taker took their essences making them into a sort of zombie hive mind. Even though, they had personality.

That's about the most I remembered about the show. The story of Candle Cove and my story are different, doesn't make sense. I have tried to get a hold of Brandon, I still can't find him. He said we are the children of the cove. Did we became like David and Janice?  That's a show. Plus, D and the Legion don't acted as the Organization from the show. How does my imaginary friend fits into it all?
