About:
This is a fanpage for Ena: Dream BBQ and the titular Ena series. Here I'll write my ideas about the world and its characters, display fan art, and more.
This is where I will put my own graphics (dividers, stamps, ect) here for your use.
Naphthalene - After Ena enters the Lonely Door, Froggy calls her and complains that he smells naphthalene, which is most commonly used in mothballs. So is that what the smoke smells like? While I doubt you will die from whiffing a mothball a couple of times, naphthalene is a carcinogenic and can cause the breakdown of red blood cells, so I don't imagine inhaling a bunch of it like that would be good. But that's only if it's actually naphthalene. I just thought it was interesting he made that specific comparison.
While I don't think Ena's world can or should ever be made complete sense of, there are some re-occuring consistancies, which is what I will be trying to gather and document here. I will, however, avoid bits that seem more like inside-jokes or references than being an actual part of the world.
Doors
Doors as a portal or dimension, and more specifically, anthropomorphic doors. In Temptation Stairway, we can see Ena enter one of the grey pose dolls is wearing the same shade of turquoise that the doors in Dream BBQ are made of.
Chocolate
Chocolate as currency, Seen in Auction Day, and also can be aquired in game after completing a quest, which you can then use to buy mayonnaise.
Genies
Genies. In Ena BBQ genies are often mentioned, and thus far we have only Theodora, the bathroom genie in the lonely door. Peirro the genie is mentioned but not yet shown. Runas in Temptation Stairway is likely a genie as well as the Therapist from Power of Potluck; the real life runas is a windows command which allows you to run as an administrator from a different user. But interestingly, both Runas and Theodora refuse Ena true hapiness.
Blood ID's
The entity at the beginning of Temptation Stairway asks for a blood ID, and the Shepard lends Ena one in Temptation Stairway, which appears as an electronic component. Coral Glasses in Dream BBQ also tell Ena that if she finds an entity to organize the inauguraton for the new genie in horse door, to fax her a blood sample from said entity.
Tombstones
The blue tombstones with mouths which appear in Auction Day as bidders, and also in outworld.
Bonuses:
- The implication of there being multiple Ena's or Ena as a species. In Temptation Stairway when Ena passes the Shepard and enters the code, we breifly see her surrounded by multiples of her body floating around. In the entire series characters pronounce her name in a lot of different ways, and in Dream BBQ she claims "one bathroom isn't enough for this many bodies". The shaman also says that "One person can be in two places at once. Although, a magician does not have to be in two places at once. He can be in one place at one time," possibly implying that experiencing time and space linearly as we do is unusual for entities within this world.
- The hallways in Extinction Party can be breifly seen through one of the doors in the purge event in Dream BBQ. Some users have explored it with mods but seems to contain nothing for now.
