Ena Dream BBQ according to my dad

Higher res version and video if you wanted that lol

[callizinc]

Making a smaller post here as a sort of follow-up to my bigger analysis from yesterday (Shameless self promo. Read it.....) to talk about some of the things i forgot about! i'm... embarrassed i missed stuff at all 😭 BUT IT'S A RICH GAME OK!!!! IT'S A GOOD GAME THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH GOOD STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!

First: I said so much about how work consumes Ena's life, meanwhile the very first line of the game is Froggy telling Ena to get back to work. like. Yeah. Can't get much clearer than that 😭😭 [MINECRAFT CAVE SOUND]

Second: This flavor text at the very beginning of the game is so short and simple but also Haunts Me. (if you don't remember, this is what it says if you try to interact with the door to the casino Before it opens during the first cutscene!)

Mostly because I feel like it's interesting that Ena's deprecating her Own Business (the casino for whatever reason is closed for like, a few minutes, and now it no longer qualifies as a "good business"? ...Girl?) and also because it's another example of how she's so conditioned to an ideal of Work above All Else. GIRL YOU CANNOT BE DOING 24/7 HOURS YOU CAN'T!!!!! THAT DOESN'T MEAN A BUSINESS IS GOOD!!!!! ENA YOU CAN'T BE DOING THAT!!!!!!!!!!

Also, this line is so iconic i can't believe i forgot it, but. Can we just acknowledge how she describes her shitty fucking job as a "Lifestyle" and her "Destiny".

And the worst part is like. Yeah, what more CAN she do indeed? She has absolutely 0 power to change her situation and nobody out there gives a shit about her. Ena.... KILL YOUR BOSS AND YOU WILL BE REINCARNATED AS A LOTUS FLOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And third, i talked about how what Ena's actual job is is pretty unclear and how I think that contributes to the theme of work consuming her life, and I still agree with that 100%, but I also forgot the very overt nods to her being a scammer 😭 (THANK you so much @aroace-elgyem)

And, no yeah—it definitely seems like she's Actually some MLM-esque schemer conman, but given the fact that she Still does literally whatever the fuck people ask of her, I'd argue her job is defined much more by giving herself to whatever everybody else wants more than it is her sales tactics.

Even so. If she ever scammed people or tricked anyone or did whatever else that may or may not have been bad. ....No she didn't ❤️

ENA: DREAM BBQ — releasing in 2023.

[how-to-train-your-pomni]

Pomni: So... what exactly are you two? Some sort of... weird, polygonal being Caine created?

Salesperson ENA: Hmm... I must be misunderstanding the meaning of your question. I am the only one you are speaking to. Are you suffering from some sort of delusion? *Perks Up and Smiles Deviously* I know someone who is quite known very well for his extraordinary experience in *Lowly* delusional circumstances.

Pomni, wide eyed: Uh... N-no thank you. I think I'll pass on that.

Ragatha: What my friend here means is... well... How do I put this?

Jax: Ya got two faces, toots.

Ragatha: JAX!

Jax: What? It's literally out in the open! We've seen both sides operate, why am I getting yelled at for asking... Uh... *To ENA* You, pronouns.

Salesperson ENA: Whatever you prefer. And, speaking of sides, perhaps you and your colorful group of collective colleagues would be interested in-

Jax, tuning ENA out: Why am I getting yelled at for helping you two idiots ask them a simple question?

Gangle: Do you work like my mask? One represents Comedy, the other Tragedy.

Salesperson ENA: *Tilts Her Head* Why make such an infaccurate statement? You have only one face, just as I and everyone e- *Goes Silent the Moment Jax Slaps Gangle’s Comedy Mask Off* Oh...

Ragatha: JAX! AGAIN, SERIOUSLY?!

Jax: I was helping Crybaby make a point, Rags.

Gangle, sobbing: I was doing so well...

Kinger: Don't worry, Gangle, it's alright.

Jax: Oh, Kinger, I forgot you were here.

Kinger: *Chuckles* Understandable.

Salesperson ENA: Oh... Oh... *Starting to Glitch* O-o-oh... Oh...! OH! AGH- *Switches With Meanie*

Meanie ENA: *Growls* NICE GOING, ASSHOLES! WHAT, DO YOU FIND SOME SORT OF HUMOR IN PULLING AT MY NERVES?!

Jax: Do you want the honest answer, or...?

Meanie ENA: I WANT WHATEVER ANSWER GIVES ME ENOUGH REASON TO *Pulls Her Megaphone Out of Thin Air* RIP OFF YOUR SKIN AND USE IT AS MY NEXT JACKET, PETER COTTONTAIL!

Jax: Ooh! Intense! I think I like you a lot more than that shifty salesperson side.

Meanie ENA: ARGH! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK-

Jax: Say, speaking of, do either of you happen to know anyone who specializes in military outfits or affairs? Pom-Pom here's been needing a wardrobe change for a while, and it'd only be fitting.

Meanie ENA, visibly shocked: I... M... M... *Grunts and Switches Places With Salesperson ENA*

Salesperson ENA: A fellow militant traveler, you say? Well, why didn't you say so sooner? *Excitedly* I've been gifted a target, you see, and, while it is quite amusing to peruse these lands with a mission, only God truly knows how cravely I've been for someone of similar interests.

Jax, enjoying every second of this: Oh, yeah? Well then, *Shoves Pomni Towards ENA* Sales, meet Pomni. A high ranking officer of her... uh...

Pomni, flatly: Brigade.

Jax: Yeah. That.

Salesperson ENA: *Scuttles Up to Pomni With an Excited Smile* My, my, my! Why, yes; I can see it in your eyes! The undiluted passion to bring forth undeniable justice to your team! The fire, the brimstone, the true Hell on Earth! *As Her Head Floats Closer to Pomni* Shake my hand, fellow soldier. Let me learn and collect the ways of my sister.

Pomni: Uh... Maybe later. Once we've... *Snaps as an Idea Forms* Once we've gathered every bit of intel about this target of yours. *In a Firmer Voice* Tell me, soldier, where is our enemy located?

Salesperson ENA, practically giggling: *With Stars in Both Eyes* Our target rests upon the hills of the mountainous region beyond the waters! *Stands Straight and Salutes* I've completed the first half of the mission, ridding the lands of toxic smoke! *Takes a Second to Stim* I took on jobs of interest along the way, though it is as God intended, for me to be used as a vessel of hope and satisfaction for those surrounding me!

Gangle: That sounds really lonely.

Salesperson ENA: *Shrugs and Looks Back at Pomni* So, my deliciously cucumbered individual-

Ragatha: "Cucumbered individual"???

Salesperson ENA: *Ignoring Ragatha* Blessed be the lord for dropping your presence in my path of justice!

Jax: Yep! Pomni’s definitely gonna help!

Pomni: Wha- We ALL are going to help!

Jax: Nah-uh, I'm not some brainwashed grunt you can tell what to do just because you were a soldier.

Pomni, frustratedly: I was a Strategist who spent years working my way up to be a First Sergeant.

Salesperson ENA: *Gasps in Awe* Where have my manners been? I'm a disgrace of a soldier! Falling behind in my training and dishonoring a Sergeant! Throw me in with the soldiers of yesterday! I plead- Nay, beg for forgiveness, Sir!

Pomni: Ugh, okay, fine. Whatever. Just... Never grovel like that again.

Salesperson ENA: Sir, yes Sir! *Salutes and Grunts as Meanie ENA Takes Over*

Meanie ENA: What the- What happened? Oh, Runas, what have I done???

Jax, all too eagerly: Poms here is your Sergeant now!

Meanie ENA: *Slowly and Cautiously* My... My Ser...? *Pauses for a Second Before Twitching and Standing Straight and Saluting* SIR! READY FOR MY COMMANDS, SIR!

Ragatha, sarcastically: This certainly won't blow up in our faces.

Jax: I know, isn’t it great?

Gangle: I think we might have different definitions of the word "great".

Kinger: We do? I thought great only had one meaning.

Ragatha: We're gonna die here.

BEHOLD, MORE ENA OCS

I was rewatching the Dream BBQ announcement trailer when I noticed one of the spinning ENAs had the exact same colors as ThEna, just swapped, so I got the idea of making ENA OCs based on the other ENAs seen.

Here are my first three, the spooky siblings (based on color scheme), Enette, Enalise, and RegEna (left to right). I created GEna to complete the trifecta lol

Individuals + their "serial numbers"

Extra Info:

This group of sibs work with the ENA seen in Dream BBQ, under Froggy. They're pretty much the closest things she has to friends in her workplace, and they enjoy her company (GEna doesn't show it much tho)

Enatte (ENA-8532-01):

Orange - Efficient; the oldest ENA of any batch is expected to excel and be an example for their sibs, but this was driven into 01 more, as her batch was the first completely functional trio of ENAs that were created for a while. Unlike her sisters, 01 fully enjoys her job, even respecting Froggy a great amount. Her voice headcannon is Ben Balmaceda (specifically Kaveh from Genshin Impact, mostly just Ben himself).

Saffron - Mischievous; after years of conditioning to be a golden example for all Worker ENAs, her desires to be free and do what she enjoys culminated in her troublemaker side, which 01 does a good job repressing until she's off from work. The most important thing her siblings know about this side is that she usually goes along with what shenanigans they do. Her voice headcannon is Brianna Knickerbocker (specifically Hu Tao from Genshin Impact).

RegEna [GEna] (ENA-8532-02)

Purple - Haughty; she loves her older sister, she really does. But 02 hates how seriously she expects them to take this stupid job. Before they matured, 02 was known for her mean streak, often taking out her frustrations of the world on younger ENAs that were unfortunate to come her way. It wasn't until she accidentally hurt her younger sister that she started calming down. Now, she just a normal asshole. Her voice headcannon is Ryan Sean O’Donohue (specifically Demyx from Kingdom Hearts).

Orange - Guilty; when the sibs were assigned to work under Froggy, 02's siblings noticed that her other side became more downcast and self-deprecating, bursting into tears and continually apologizing for how she acts when her dominant side is in control, especially to 03. The youngest ENA in question does not know how to feel about this. Her voice headcannon is Erica Mendez (specifically White Lily Cookie from Cookie Run: Kingdom).

Enalise [Lisa] (ENA-8532-03)

Saffron - Thoughtful; unlike her older sisters, who either love or detest their job, 03 usually doesn't pay any mind to it, and does an average job. She actually is drawn to the oddness of the world around her, what secrets they hold, why things work like they do. She can't help but feel envious of Scholar ENAs since they have the access and knowledge 03 so desperately wants. Her voice headcannon is Khoi Dao (specifically Albedo from Genshin Impact).

Purple - Judgemental; experiencing 02's behavior before their full maturity shaped 03's annoyance into a need to reprimand everything she does and to communicate what 02's problem is in her own way, thus her snappy, but kind of well-meaning side. 03 is less shameful of this side than others think she should be, as the youngest ENA believes that "she was made the way she was, and she's going to let what emotions slip through happen." Her voice headcannon is Brittney Karbowski (specifically Mio from Ghost Stories Dub).

Next is Enaline, based on the ENA in the second picture on the right!

Alt. Outfit + her old Worker look

Extra Info:

Created as a Worker ENA, Enaline would become a Runaway after her other sibs went "missing under mysterious circumstances" and she "saw something she shouldn't have", as she puts it. Not much is known about her past other than this, as she soon becomes unresponsive after giving up too much information. She's mostly seen hanging out in the Karaoke Bar AthEna (ThEna) works at, and is very social, depending on which side is dominant.

Enaline (ENA-7450-03)

Sky Blue - Carefree; after experiencing The Horrors™, Enaline decides that she won't let her past and regrets tie her down, so she up and leaves the Sector she grew up in and ended up settling in the area overseen by The Clown. She is very jovial in this state, being more of an 'act first think about the consequences later' kind of ENA. Her voice headcannon is Kieran Regan (specifically Shikanoin Heizou from Genshin Impact).

Salmon - Existential; despite her attempts, Enaline can never fully leave behind the cause of her upturned life, and when she thinks about that, she becomes unpleasant (at least that's what she thinks). The former Worker feels a constant dread tugging at her in this state, something she can't remedy no matter what she does. All Enaline can do is not think about all of that while she's Carefree, and everything will be fine! Her voice headcannon is Monica Rial (specifically Momoko Koigakubo from Ghost Stories Dub).

THERE IS LITERALLY SO MUCH GOOD SHIT COMING OUT THIS YEAR THE WAY IM VIBRATING RIGHT NOW AAAAAAA

[bogos-bint3d]

Surprised I haven't seen this here yet

[callizinc]

Realized i can post whatever i want forever so here's my very qualified and professional Callizinc Worker Ena Plush Review

I mean she's perfect. Obviously. Like we all know this. BUT STILL:.

I love her. She's extremely silly looking, but in a good way; they did the best job possible in translating such an out there and fantastical character design into a plushie. She's very soft And very easy to cuddle 🔥 And just like the first ena plush, her limbs are posable too! You can make her pose so cutesit.

Also she talks! It's a little box with a button on it that came with the batteries too. THANKFULLY though you can take it out; she has a little zipper under her hair (like where the first Ena plush's turron was delivered with) and that's where it goes Which was very convenient so i don't wake up in the middle of the night to her yelling in my ear.

The plush also has voice lines that are just. not... in the game 😭😭 Or at least not in chapter 1???? which. either way. Fascinating .......

NEVERTHELESS it is a cute touch And the little megaphone is also suuuch a cute addition. Even if it seems very fragile LOL

My only issue is the inside of her hat had a few loose threads, which is a little lame, but it also is The Inside. of the hat. So like who cares. I also threw her down the stairs two times so that might have affected this somewhat

All in all she is perfect. We all know this

[funkle420]
