#Taffy puppet

[sourtomatola]

You slipped out of the bathroom and into the early morning crowd of tourists, the people with nothing better to do who enjoyed the tours of beautiful candy. You were very tired from staying up so late, but you tried to enjoy the tour anyways. This time you paid more attention to the other parts of the tour, seeing Freddy and Bonie together, both having chocolate as their main candy.

They seemed to have a little act of their own that was a cute song and dance. You felt like the company might have had a hand in writing the lyric’s of their song, but they seemed legitimately happy to have something to do when tourists came through.

Chica and Foxy were next. Glittering sugar fell from Chica’s body constantly, making her seem almost magical. Her cupcake on the platter bounced around at the sight of people, and he made a joke about gobbling up all the deliciously looking people walking by. The kids in the crowd giggled, but you had a sickening feeling in your gut that good ol’ Carl Cupcake was far from joking. Especially since Chica grabbed him and placed him under a glass cake dome, making him bonk his little face against it as she shushed him.

In other area’s, there were other candy beings. There was a group made of elite candy-coated chocolate. The kind of chocolate most could only dream of being able to afford. The form those creatures took seemed to be an Elephant and hippo. A heterochromia Pig, coated in a pink candy shell was said to be the richest dark chocolate, and a Green Fudge frog sat next to him, both seeming to relax and not mind the tour.

Then there was the oddity of the Taffy beings. All had the same coloring, similar faces (as if they might have been siblings) but they all had small differences. One was simple, long black elongating arms and fingers. He sat in a bright teal box decorated like a present. He(?) Would pop out of the box like a jack in the box and waved his arms around delicately, gentle as a soft summer breeze. They simply called him puppet.

The second taffy being would peek out of the lid of his own purple striped box. He would only come out once a day, if you were lucky. You’ve never seen his full self. They say he liked the color green, and if enough people wore it, he might come out to greet them. Apparently St. Patrick’s day was always busy because he came out almost all the time, provided enough people were celebrating it.

His gold pinprick eyes set on you, making you freeze up. You hadn’t worn green today, yet he stared and slowly lifted his lid, showing the singular lopsided jester hat.

The crowd around you ‘oooh’-ed at the sight of the creature whose form warped and warbled right in front of you all. Sun and Moon and told you they had started as Endo skeleton’s, but you had a feeling the taffy puppets might have started as something else, since they were noodly and almost abstract.

The marionette, as the second one was called, stared at you, making your face flush in confusion and embarrassment. Did they recognize you as a rule breaker? Since you had stayed the night? Or was he looking at someone else? It sure felt like it was you. It might just be your guilty conscious.

Globs of taffy began to fall off both puppets. A worker rushed in and began to collect the candy where they fell on a clean (assumingly so) matt. People took pictures and you swear you saw someone duck down and reach through the railing in an attempt to reach one of the treats to keep.

“You may purchase the candy at the end of the tour, no free samples.” The Tour guide announced.

The third box, that had remained unmoving next to the marionette, seemed to be a plain brown crate. The lid bumped up slightly, making the people collecting up the taffy flinch. The other puppets didn’t seem to notice the development as they continued to shed taffy on the floor. The lip jostled again. Suddenly, the spotlights that lit up the greenroom for the taffy being’s went out, and a large metal door slammed down, blocking your tour group from the room. Or, perhaps, it was blocking the taffy beings from all of you.

“Ha ha, wow, that little guy usually only comes out at night, fancy that.” The tour guy laughed awkwardly. “They’ll be alright folks, that one just likes the shed in a uh…explosive way.” A loud thudding and almost wet sound pounded behind the door, making your stomach drop. You didn’t even want to imagine what was going on behind this door.

You swallowed and took one last glance at the door blocking you from the marionette’s view, yet somehow, you felt like it was still staring at you.

Taking Candy for a Fool part 18

You woke up in the pitch darkness where you still felt the stickiness that cuddled you. You hadn’t realized you had fallen asleep, but after a couple months of staying in the factory overnight, your sleep schedule had been just awful.

“M-marionette? What time is it?” You asked sleepily, trying to shift out of the taffy glob you somehow slept soundly in.

There was no voice this time. You could just feel the shifting of the taffy, the thick warping substance starting to fluff and pull before the box was flooded with light. You gasped from the blinding light and was lifted into the floodlight. You looked down, but couldn’t see a conceivable shape in the candy mush below.

You were gently set on the floor. You looked around to see places of the room burned, but not everything was burned. Or from what you could tell by the charred black splotches that weren’t there before. Your glasses had gone missing still. You wondered how the fire was contained since you’ve never seen a smoke detector or sprinkler in your entire time spend in the factory.

“Marionet, can you help me find my glasses?” You asked them, glancing back at the blurry box to try and identify them. Their mask peeked out.

“Melty…” They muttered in a melodic tone. A slopping sound clued you in that they might have gotten warm from nearby fires. Since warm taffy melts, maybe they are having trouble moving. You were grateful they had protected you from that.

“Oh, I’m sorry…are you okay??” You frowned.

“Cooling…be fine…” They chimed.

Okay, so now you guess you have to find your glasses yourself. You turned to the doorway but stopped dead in your tracks as something dangled in your face.

You stared as you could see a blurry black and white looking vine holding an object that stayed in your face. You slowly and carefully took the item, and recognized it as your glasses.

You went to put them on, but the vine stopped you. “Out first.” A different, deep garbling voice said. The hair on the back of your neck bristled. You had a deep bad feeling you knew who you were facing right now. You didn’t dare to not follow their instructions, and you headed to the door

“T-thank you for my g-glasses…” You said nervously. You wondered if Nightmarionne hated to be viewed, and that’s why they only came out at night. As well as why they had the door slam down so they couldn’t be seen by the tourists. After seeing a big red splatter on said door, you knew what happened to the harvesters who collected the taffy.

As you stepped out the door, one of the tentacles came out and placed a small ball of taffy in your hand.

“Enjoy~” a small childish voice said.

Before you could ask or turn to look, the door slammed behind you, making you flinch before you put your glasses back on. You looked at the taffy in your hand. It reminded you to check the Sunnydrop’s and Moondrops to be sure they didn’t get broken or lost.

They were still safely in your pocket. You glanced at the taffy and put it in your mouth, deciding it would be better than risking it melting in your pocket without a wrapper.

As you chewed up the richly flavored candy in your mouth, you looked around the hallway.

A scorched trailed showed where Foxy had gone. Blackened peanuts also left scattered in the edges and corners. Bashed in wall’s that were surely chika and Mr. Cupcake’s work were crumbly at your feet. You swallowed, not knowing if the extra nutrition lasted very long, or if your friends would be in their right mind when they see you. You started to make your way to the tour area, trying to find an exit.

You instead found the common room where Eclipse had been on display. You flinched from seeing all of the candy beings standing around. They all looked to you, making you freeze in place.

Bonnie seemed to be dripping with molten fudge, Steam fuming off if the globs that fell from him. Foxy was still on fire, but it seemed his madness had subsided as he stood a distance form the other creature to prevent from hurting them. Burned peanuts still clattered to the ground under him though. Chika held her smaller cupcake friend who seemed to be asleep, as she sat on the floor, cramped in the high ceiling room.

 A chalky dextrose candy group of feminine clown faced beings stared at you, some more deformed with whips of brightly colored liquorice being shown as they flashed opened the candy-coated faceplates at you threateningly. One very tall liquorice rope covered creature hissed at you as he stood above all the beings there.

Your breath hitched as you felt like you were about to be devoured, but then, a gently familiar voice called though the crowd.

“Cry baby?”

Commissioned from the Silverstein Puppet theater by Bartlebee brands in the late 60s Seamore and Strawbetty quickly became an inseparable part of marketing for the company's products. Debuting in the short advertisement "A Spoon of Nectar" they would feature in following advertisements up until the company's eventual closure.

According to Silverstein, Seamore was made to resemble saltwater taffy, and Strawbetty, a strawberry.

Seamore and Strawbetty were characterized by a cluelessness and ignorance for the world around them, relying on Beetrice to educate them and brighten up their dull lives with sugars, nectars, and desserts. Seamore was typically portrayed as a somewhat vain and self-absorbed character who nonetheless cared deeply for his more energetic companion Strawbetty.

When the company began shuttering its doors the two puppets disappeared from public view for years, many puppet historians considering them to be lost for good and likely rotting in the basement of one of Bartlebee Brands many warehouses.

However, in recent years the two puppets have been recovered by puppet enthusiast and historian Emma Weckle. Emma restored the two and has been very kind in providing the library with photographs of the puppets.

Reasons why Niffty might be so small:

(Related: list of why she has one eye.)

1. To represent the fact that her whole life she felt looked down on by people living in the world as a mixed-race woman in the 50s

2. So she can crawl through the vents easily.

3. Budget cuts. All the money for height was used on Angel, Sir Pentious and Valentino. So there was very little left for Niffty.

4. She was one of Santa’s elves until she fled to become a dentist.

5. Why aren’t YOU that short? God, some people!

6. Everyone else is abnormally tall.

7. To stab people’s ankles when they least expect it.

8. So she can be closer to the floor and closer to the bugs.

9. So she can fit in the oven to take naps.

10. It’s a good size to sneak up behind someone while they’re talking and stab them :)

11. Angel stole it from her.

12. She’s half Egg Boi.

13. With deals with Alastor when you trade away your soul you also trade away part of your height. This happened to Husk too to a lesser extent and is why Alastor can grow to be so tall.

14. She’s a bug puppeting a doll of a demon. This was the biggest size they had.

15. She was actually really tall in life and this is her eternal punishment.

16. Unlike the other characters she never got out through a taffy puller.

17. She’d be too powerful if she was any larger.

18. You need to sleep to grow. Niffty never does.

19. She’s Alastor’s ventriquist dummy

20. So her eye to body size ration is REALLY out of wack

21. She lost the bottom half of her body in the Great Pirate War

22. To consolidate her power. Short people contain energy in a smaller amount of space, making it more pressurized, the more pressure the more powerful.

23. The ears Alastor has actually used to be her feet, but she didn’t want them so she gave them away.

24. Rosie and Alastor got hungry once

25. Every kill she has takes a mm from her height (you don’t want to know how tall she was originally.)

26. So she can be closer in size to her greatest love, a roomba with knives.

27. She knife monopolied too hard once. Got in debt, you can fill in the blanks.

28. So her enemies underestimate her

29. So she can hide under your bed and you will NEVER know :)
