## Death Game (Generation 2)

### Chapter 1

At the beginning of chapter one, all 26 participants awake in the #watermelauction-room, a bright pink and green room. In their panic and confusion, the floormaster, Warner Melan: The Legacy Doll appears and begins to explain the rules of the death game, much to everyone's 'delight.' Once explaining why everyone was here, he introduces the subgame titled "Prices and Properties," or at least the prelude, where the participants are required to collect gold coins and cash into their ATMs. He title drops before leaving the participants to their own devices.

Next time he appears was the next day, where Ronan enters the room and begins yelling for Warner to come out wherever he is. The people also in the room are Shizuku, Kris, Adira, Minako, Ringo, and Nuika, the four having entered after Ronan began shouting. Soon, Warner Melan enters from the opposite door that Nuika and Ringo entered, theatrically announcing himself to the room. In anger, Ronan confronted Warner, picking a fight by putting the floormaster in a chokehold. Adira threw Ronan off of Warner, where he snarkily made a comment and exited, leaving the participants to discuss.

Later that day, he enters the #watermelauction-room with a lava cake and his tablet where he watches the participants while eating dessert. This allowed the opportunity for participants to ask him questions. He also has cookies which he finishes off before Minako approaches to ask a question. Minako proposes a deal where she would stab a participant in exchange for her immunity. Warner explains how it is unreasonable for her to expect protection in the death game. So Minako revises the deal: a murder for five tokens. Warner agrees and soon leaves the room through backstage.

The next day in #watermelauction-room, after fiasco with ~~Hanashi Sora~~, Warner comments on Minako and Ronan's whisper conversation being a 5/10, and that they could use some work. Minako dubs Warner as her best friend, where he states that he is honored. Ronan and Minako leave their insults as Warner waves goodbye to the two.

Once again another issue arrises with the participant that shall not be named. Warner doesn't get paid enough to deal with his shit, should've let his ass die. However, Minako approaches him to ask him about his work conditions. Warner says not to worry about it and the two continue their conversation. He mentions how with the chaos of the game, soon she will wish that there was some peace and quiet. Their conversation continues for longer until it leads to Minako leaving. Warner leaves soon after. During the same day, he is summoned. Warner holds a brownie plate when Kirari, Rosemary, and Minako had required his assistance. Kirari informed him about a dirtied room and requested a change of clothes. Warner obliged, saying that she would get those soon. Rosemary and Minako needed bandages, which Warner got from the medkit. Soon after he waved the participants goodbye and sat down in the room. Soon enough ~~Hanashi Sora~~ walked in and asked Warner if he may find him attractive. Warner smiled, bursting into thunderous laughter before telling him that he could not take a hint, that he was not single, and even if he was, that ~~Hanashi~~ was not his type. After that confession, Warner feels pleased with himself and exits the room.

On the day of the subgame...

Finally the day of the main game arrived...

## Death Game (Generation 3)

### Chapter 2

Raine does not make an actual appearance in Chapter 2, however on the [number] day of this chapter, upon entering the #mirror-maze, Jeremiah R. Glomgold hears footsteps that go "tap tap ta-tap tap," and originally he believes it could be his heart, or his own footsteps, however in reality it is Raine Tachi. He activates the victim video in the maze, revealing to Jeremiah that Cass was the culprit who killed Angel Feliz-Vega.

### Chapter 3

After Daisy and Tsunoi leave the #theatre, before Cass gets the chance to leave, the curtains closed in front of Haruka's death and the house lights shut off. Raine Tachi makes his way center stage and a spotlight comes on him. He taunts Cass before he asks if he remembers him. Cass is in disbelief to see Raine Tachi, or Warner Melan. As soon as Raine mentions Angie, it clicks for Cass that it wasn't Angel who caused him to be in the death game, or result in so many deaths, but rather it was Raine. He laughed in Cass' face, laughing at his ignorance. Cass growls that Raine made him kill Angie and brought him to die. He simply responds that if Angie hadn't been with Cass at the time, Cass wouldn't have to be here. That Cass wasn't supposed to be here. Approaching the stage, Cass orders for Raine to face him on even ground, which he responds for Cass to come up and share the spotlight, since he had a large role in Angie's death. Cass asks him how many he's killed, which he responds that he's lost track. Then, Raine asks if this was his first murder, which he responds no, however it won't be his last. Approaching Raine, Cass unlocks his cane and aims at Raine, threatening his life. At that moment, there was an announcement by N.E. Meishin and soon Phye. Ignoring it, the two fight, sword and cane clashing against each other in the theatre as Daisy shouts at Cass to get out of the theatre. Slowly backed to the edge of the stage, Raine's cane is ripped out of his hand and thrown to the side. He was trapped, at sword point by Cass. To end it off, Cass takes out Angel's pendant which had been gifted by Raine and wrapped it around the handle of the sword. Cass started one end of a knock knock joke. Raine answered it, where Cass said "wah." Raine Tachi's final words resulted in the Mario sound effect, which according to Cass was worse than Chris Pratt's impression.

### Warner Melan A.I

Although not used often, the Warner Melan A.I was created for and utilized during the first Main Game of Generation Two. The human Warner Melan switched himself out for a doll with his A.I. due to the likelihood that a participant would attack him during the events of the main game, which did end up happening. They were hard to differentiate due to the fact that the entire persona of Warner is fabricated, so it wasn't difficult to make a replica through A.I.

At the end of the main game, after Daku Hayashi was executed as the voted participant, Warner bid them all adieu, however as he went to take his final bow, Adira used the katana found on his floor, and stabbed him in the back. Since he replaced himself with a doll, the doll shattered into ceramic bits and pieces, while the actual Warner sat up in his room, enjoying the show with a bowl of popcorn.

## Relationships

### Angel Feliz-Vega

Two years before the events of Generation 2, as a recruiter, Raine Tachi was assigned to get Angel to sign the consent form and to give his wish to be granted by Asu-Naro. However, when running into Angel on a rainy day, instead of getting the form signed right away, he got too attached and tried again and again until he realized that he had fallen in love with Angel. Soon the two would start dating, and later would move in together.

The unfortunate part of this was that Asu-Naro still needed Angel to enter in the death game, as that was the original plan, but Raine knew that Angel was an Informational Technician working freelance, so using his technology, Raine found a way to keep Angie out of the death game just for a little longer. He took the programming and methods that he utilized in order to benefit Asu-Naro and create newer and more advanced artificial intelligence.

At the time of their 10th anniversary, Raine had planned a dinner date to celebrate, just across from the street that the two had just met, already having convinced Angel that he would be proposing that exact night. His actual intentions were to break up with Angel the exact night that he was meant to be sent off to the death game. He needed to play the villain so that he wouldn't feel bad about how much of a coward he was. He took a route to save his own skin, and slowly became more and more cruel and malicious, just like his persona of Warner Melan.

In addition of stealing Angel's programming and technology for AIs, he utilized one of the minigames that was used in his horror game that would be set to be the first trial that Cass and Angie were in, where Angel Feliz-Vega would meet his demise.

### Maki Akito

Warner Melan first met Maki Akito in the #living-room where all of the floormasters of Generation 2 introduced one another. However, the two didn't get to full conversations until later on, their introduction was a rather rocky start with how differing the two were in personalities. Maki often found Warner annoying, and distrusted the man due to his humanity.

## Trivia

* The name "Warner Melan" is a pun on the well enjoyed fruit, watermelon
* His title as "The Legacy Doll" is a play on the line from the hit musical Hamilton, where legacies are stated to be "planting seeds in a garden you never get to see," so the fruit theme added with money are sowing the seeds of despair within Asu-Naro's death game.
