But that's not important right now. What is important is, unless I'm mistaken, [[ParanoiaFuel THERE'S A FUCKING ABOMINATION THAT GOBBLES UP ENTIRE UNIVERSES LOOSE, AND WE PROBABLY LOOK REALLY REALLY TASTY TO IT!!]]

[[WMG: Janice was a real child, and Percy the Pirate was trying to protect her...]]
The world of Candle Cove has been horribly, horribly corrupted by the foul power of the Skin Taker. The Skin Taker is a hideously powerful sorcerer that feeds on children souls. His demonic energy has slowly corrupted the world of Candle Cove, to the point that it's falling apart at the seams. Percy the Pirate and the Laughingstock manage to find the Skin Taker's latest victim before he does and take her to safety.

[[CrapsackWorld Except, of course, that there is no safety here.]] Percy tries to entertain her with adventures, but he's aware that the Skin Taker is looking for them.

The Skin Taker, however, is still not ready to eat yet. [[VillainSong Janice's soul won't fully finish forming for another year,]] so it'd be a waste of time to kill her now.

Percy knows this, and so he's trying to stop the Skin Taker and his minions before they run out of time. After all, the Skin Taker ''can't'' kill Janice yet. It takes a great deal of power to kidnap someone, after all, and he can't just kidnap someone else without regaining some of it.

In Season 2, Janice is ready to be harvested. However, Percy refuses to let this happen, and the Skin Taker ultimately runs out of time. Despite this victory, the consequences are extreme:

[[LoadBearingBoss The Skin Taker had corrupted the world so much that the entire Candle Cove universe was now structured around him.]] As the Skin Taker fades into oblivion, the rest of the world starts to get dragged along with him. There is nothing but screaming...but perhaps it's a better fate for Janice than being captured by the Skin Taker. And perhaps the world of Candle Cove had died a long time ago.

If you turn up the volume in the last episode, during the credits, you can hear a lullaby. It's sung in the voice of Percy the Pirate, and it sounds as if he's fighting back tears. The song slowly fades into utter silence as the credits roll, until finally there is nothing.

It is called "Goodnight, Janice."

[[WMG: Candle Cove's world was eaten by an EldritchAbomination]]
The final episodes of the show covered some kind of EldritchAbomination that feeds on universes for breakfast. When the cast was screaming, this Abomination was eating the world up like candy. The reason the kids dreamed the episode was because the world's deity was trying to call out to them for help.

And now the world is dead. Slowly and slowly, people's memories of the show are fading away. That's because the universe that once held Candle Cove no longer exists, and the timeline is rearranging itself to incorporate the fact that it's trying to call data that simply isn't there. The ones with less experience with the universe lost their memory first. The kids only have vague memories of the show now, due to them being close enough to it.
