This quest may has minor spoilers for Umineko. If you haven't read it, give it a try. It is available on steam.
Taylor Hebert cursed. One who knew of her situation would not be surprised. She had been bullied by her best friend for deciding to follow her to a shining example of everything wrong with the American education system. There were cliques, there were gangs, there was incompetence, in short there was everything except compassion, funding or adequacy. She had debated whether or not it would be worthwhile to burn the school down, since so many gangs recruited members from that location.
"Sophia Hess, Emma Barnes, and Madison Clements should be imprisoned for what they have done," Taylor said. She felt something about her words. Like they had the weight of truth. If anyone else was there to observe her, they would also have been able to perceive the words she spoke of as truth. However, no one was here, so the fact went unobserved.
She cursed. Even though she knew they were guilty, but without evidence she knew she would be up a creek without a paddle. She cried. What did she have to do to get something done? Taylor did not think the trio would stop until she was dead. Lazily, she turned on the television, since they did not appear to have any books laying about for her to read. She was not paying much attention to it, but overheard the announcement.
"Our top story today, Shadow Stalker and two young girls appear to be pinned by a red stake. The PRT has yet to comment other than to say that they take all attacks on Wards seriously and will bring the perpetrator to justice," the broadcaster stated into the camera having a prize winning smile.
"That is Emma Barnes and Madison Clements. What would shadow stalker have to do with any of them, unless...," she thought slowly coming to a realization. "If Shadow Stalker is Sophia Hess, what I felt suddenly makes sense. What I said in red apparently had an effect on the real world, for reasons presently unknown to me. But I felt something different when I said something in blue. This is confusing," Taylor thought aloud. Thinking to herself, she tried to think something in red. Something she knew was true. '1+1 is two' she thought, but could not get that feeling of truthfulness to come forth.
"Shadow Stalker being Sophia Hess would explain a number of incidents, like how they kept getting into my locker after changing the locks multiple times. If the school got money for hosting a Ward, it would also explain why nothing ever came of my reports," she said. Again, she could feel though it was not as weighty as what she said in red, there was something to that blue she spoke.
For some reason, she had an urge to confront the three. Not as herself, but as as buxom blonde who had a side of crazy. She somehow felt that if she did confront them, that she could be free of the trio but she did not know how. She did not know why. She just felt something inside of her, forcing her to change into a blonde woman. She did not even know how she knew to apply makeup, find a wig, as well as some cheap plastic face coverings to alter her face's appearance. She completed the ensemble with a Victorian era dress emblazoned with a one-winged eagle on it. Suddenly, she had a horrible and completely functional plan to carry out.
Noting the general location of the trio, she then proceeded to buy a few things as well as apply her costume. Though she knew she had sometime with the Trio being pinned, she could not wait indefinitely. A visit to a costume shop, a make up outlet, and an electronics store netted her everything she needed. Putting on her costume, she proceeded to make Beatrice's debut. It took her sometime, but she eventually made it to the boardwalk where they were.
When she came upon the trio, she realized that her red stake was still pinning them in one place. Somehow, she knew that they would not be able to move until either she or them won their game. Even though enough time had passed that the PRT was out in full force, they still let her through, when she claimed she could remove the red stake.
"AHAHA!" she greeted.
"Haven't you noticed it yet?" Beatrice asked her tormentors/future victims.
"The PRT cannot help you. If they could, they would have removed those stakes by now. I can help you, but I find myself disinclined to do so. While I did place the stakes there, it was not intentional. All that said, if you want me to remove the stakes, we have to play a game," Beatrice grinned.
"Why would we play a game with you? You are clearly crazy!" Madison exclaimed. Shadow Stalker was already contacting someone stating something about colored text and a new thinker/shaker combo.
"Because you tried to do a closed-room murder, but failed spectacularly." Beatrice explained.
"What do you mean by that? And how are you talking in colors?" Emma asked.
"Statements in red are true. I am not sure what the blue statements are yet, but I feel they mean something. That said, there is only one way for you to escape that stake pinning you, and that is to prove you did not make an attempted murder attempt on Taylor Hebert." Beatrice cackled.
"Why do you care about Taylor Hebert? What did that weakling do for you?" Sophia asked.
"I don't. But I am the queen of closed room murders. I am so happy to have proteges. But you failed on so many counts," Beatrice cackled maniacally.
"Wait what? We don't even know you, why would we be your proteges?" Emma said, clearly confused, even more confused at how she managed to speak in red.
"Oh great, a trump. Ug, where is Armsmaster when you need him," Sophia complained, sick of having this stake stuck in her as well as whatever bureaucratic nonsense the Wards seem hellbent on putting her through.
"I still think you are Taylor Hebert though," Madison started, "and now I am speaking in blue, why?"
"Why don't you just call her? I recall seeing her at the hospital. She is probably still there," Beatrice sighed, clearly exasperated with this line of questioning.
Emma then proceeded to dial the hospital.
"Mr. Hebert? Is Taylor there?" she asked. Beatrice could not hear the phone, but that did not matter for long.
"Could you put her on speaker?" Emma spoke into the phone.
"Emma, I am tired and don't want to talk right now. Is this important?" Taylor's voice could be heard over the radio.
"Yes, actually," She started.
"YAWN- sorry medicine. Im gonna go nite-nite," Taylor cut her off.
"Emma, shes out cold. I'll call you when shes coherent," Danny said, and hung up the phone.
"With that out of the way, let's play the game. First though, I should tell you the rules and the rewards. I am Beatrice the Golden Witch. If you can defeat me, I will grant you a stockpile of gold. My goal is to prove you three attempted a closed room murder. Your goal is to prove you did not do it. I still haven't quite figured out how the blue text works, but if I do figure it out I will let you know," Beatrice said.
"So what happens to the loser?" Shadow Stalker asked.
"The loser gets eaten alive by goats with razorsharp teeth is the traditional penalty. Unless you have some reason to want a different one, but I feel like we should stick with the classics. What's life without a little risk? AHAHA"
"WAIT WHAT! CONSOLE GET SOMEONE HERE NOW! ALSO, EVAC REQUESTED!" Shadow Stalker yelled.
"If you think that will help sure, but I am confident that you will be stuck here until one of us wins the game," Beatrice replied.
A large revving sound could be heard.
"YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR ASSAULT WITH A PARAHUMAN POWER" Armsmaster declared.
"Oh my, a new player. I do like men with big brains and bigger...halberds. I do not mind a new player, but you did not attempt a closed room murder nor are you trying to solve one. Your penalty, rewards and ante should be different." Beatrice cackled.
"Console, this is Armsmaster, we are in some kind of shaker-field. Shadow Stalker and two civilians appear to be pinned by a red stake. An unmasked parahuman, going by" the bearded hero radioed in.
"Beatrice, the Golden Witch" Beatrice helpfully supplied.
"Beatrice. She apparently has some thinker-shaker combination," Armsmaster reported to somebody.
"The players are set. If you want Shadow Stalker, Emma Barnes, and Madison Clements to move from this spot you need to play the game,"
"Ordinarily I would be happily to de-escalate with another parahuman by simply playing a game, but it's been on record that you intend to kill them with Goats if they lose." Armsmaster replied. "Console, also not a minor trump affect as well," he reported in noting he was somehow speaking in colors.
"You don't get eaten by goats? It happens all the time where I'm from." Beatrice asked, clearly perplexed.
"People die when they are digested," Armsmaster replied, wondering how on earth he got dragged into this conversation.
"Fuck it. If I have to listen to this insanity much longer I'll be crazier than a cuckoo. We're survivors! We've got this! We accept your challenge Beatrice!" Emma yelled.
"Excellent!" Beatrice smiled.
Suddenly, they were encased in a cubical light blue force-field. Despite frantic efforts by the PRT, Armsmaster and other heroes, it was completely unaffected by anything they attempted to do to it. For better or worse, Emma, Madison, Shadow Stalker and Beatrice were about to play the game.
"Ordinarily, the witches side is the one with answers, but because of circumstances,the witches form the accuser in this game. Emma Barnes, Sophia Hess, and Madison Clements attempted to kill Taylor Hebert by placing used feminine products in her locker and then stuffing her in there. This was made possible by the fact that Sophia Hess is Shadow Stalker who has used her position as a Ward to shield herself, Emma Barnes, and Madison Clements from disciplinary action from the school." Beatrice noticed that there was additional blue stake pinning each member of the trio. Shadow Stalker had another large stake in her labelled 'Sophia Hess' as well.
"What is happening?" Madison cried.
"Fight back, and you will survive through this," Shadow Stalker yelled.
"First, we never wanted to kill Taylor, but make her stronger." Emma said. Suddenly, the three new stakes that had appeared were burst by the red truth declared by Taylor's former best friend.
"Impressive use of the red truth. That will not save you for long however. Even if you did not mean to hurt her, leaving a girl in a locker full of used tampons cannot end well. This is not a court of American law, mens rea does not apply. By placing her in the locker, you attempted murder but failed due to someone letting her out and providing medical treatment."
Suddenly those blue stakes were back. This time the three girls looked much more concerned.
"Seriously, this prank is regarded as attempted murder? How weak was your former best friend?" Shadow Stalker asked.
"You admit to doing it?" Beatrice asked.
"Yes. We were trying to make Taylor stronger," Emma confirmed.
Suddenly, the blue stakes became much darker, changing into a shade of red.
"Well, this round goes to me. Enjoy the goats ladies," Beatrice cackled.
"Wait, there was no way we could have known that just putting Taylor in a locker would cause this to happen," Madison exclaimed.
"I have yet to see a world where witches play fair. AHAHA!"
Suddenly, a veritable army of goats in well dressed butler outfits descended on the trio. Bones, vitae, and gore were spread about as the Trio tried to escape but were systematically trampled, chewed, and stomped on. Shadow Stalker would have tried to hide in her shadow form, but the goat bit her neck before she could do anything.
The blue force field surrounding the four females suddenly disappeared, and Beatrice was carried off by a few of the goats at a fast clip escaping before anyone could get a word in edgewise. The remains of Emma Barnes, Shadow Stalker, and Madison Clements lay at the PRT's feet. Armsmaster looked disgusted at the scene and the newer PRT recruits were vomiting. It was not a pretty scene by any means. Armsmaster cursed. There was going to be hell to pay.
The prologue is over. Quest Mechanics have not been completely worked out yet, but the general progress of this quest will be someone (or Beatrice) committing a closed-room murder, and Beatrice either solving the murder (or not). Note that a solve does not have to be correct, just logical. The loser gets eaten alive by goats, so this may be a short quest. With the public murder of a ward and 2 others, Beatrice has gained a large amount of infamy incredibly quickly. You have one reward to have as Beatrice. Choose wisely.

[Write In].
Quest Vote Will there be shipping:
[Y] Yes, it will be decided by dice and dart boards though (IE Random)
[N] Only the post office ships in this quest.
Voting closes in 7 calendar days, or until a clear favorite is chosen then. Upcoming PHO interlude.
Notes: It has been a long time since I've read worm or Umineko. That said, I remember the major points of them both, but with this starting near cannon, a number of events may be cannon shafted for the sake of the quest.
Meanwhile, rolls (1D100) for other factions:
Empire 88: 55
ABB: 83
Coil: 71/11 (takes advantage of 71)
Merchants: 75
Dock Workers: 52
Protectorate/PRT: 27
City of Brockton Bay: 74
GM''s Conclusion: ABB make minor headway against the Empire 88. The merchants make minor headway against the Dockworkers, claiming some territory. Meanwhile, the city appears to be having an increase in tax revenue this year despite the deteriorating economy. Coil has further embarrassed the PRT by having his mercenaries publicly steal crates of con foam. Note that the city mechanic may be discontinued if it becomes too much of a pain to deal with.

Alright people, I feel that first I should point out that you should try to avoid exotic cape affects, especially if you do not know what they are doing. Anyways, the PRT is on the case and eventually we will get our researchers and tinkers to analyze the cause and effect. Please give the first responders appropriate room. I know cape tourism is a thing, but those stakes are pinning those girls in place and we have no idea why or how. As soon as I have more information from my sources, I will post it.

Posted On Jan 30th 2011:
In accordance with the Maxwell-Shelby Heinous Parahuman Crimes Act, the parahuman known as Beatrice has been tried in absentitia in the fifth circuit court of appeals in Maryland. See related court documents (Link1, Link2, Link3,.., Link50). As the judges have found her guilty due to the "clear and overwhelming" evidence, a kill-on-sight order has been placed for the murder of Shadow Stalker and two others.
Any information about her immediate whereabouts, please contact the Brockon Bay PRT as 555-PARAHMN, extension 683 and ask to speak to the Dept. of Collections and Bounties. A bounty of $1,000,000 US dollars will be given with proof of death or capture. Information leading to an arrest will also be granted a reward of up to a maximum of $50,000 dependent upon the usability of the information provided. Please be advised that knowingly or unknowingly making false reports is a felony, and punishable of a fine up to the bounty listed per the Saxeman-Hernandez Act. Any villains wishing to collect the bounty may approach PRT officials under a temporary non-aggression agreement, pursuant to policy AB45-1321. To anyone attempting this task, we wish you good luck.

Alright so what is the benefit of tea party in this case?
In the original source material tea party is more like looking in other witch perspective or setting a scene for the next match.

Gregorian. As an aside though, sometimes when people say ten days they sometimes mean two weeks because they are referring to weekdays, and do not include the weekends. By specifying calendar days, it means that voting is open for seven consecutive days rather than seven non-consecutive days.
Ordinarily, I'd say yes. The PRT has enough of its own problems though, and even with pressure coming from up top I will probably roll to see how successful they are especially with Coil/Cauldron shenanigans. Depending on how they roll Taylor might be investigated or Coil might end up disposing Piggot. The die has yet to be

This is also the main drawback to the tea party. But so long as Beatrice entertains the witches, they will not move against her. Their main opponent is boredom since they are effectively immortal.

How delightful. Perhaps the visitors will be none other than Lambdadelta and Bernkastel, the Witch of Certainty and the Witch of Miracles themselves. It will be fine entertainment, so the two are bound to visit eventually. What else to do but find amusement to pass eternity? Mayhap even Featherine Augustus Aurora herself will attend, the Witch of Theatergoing, Drama, and Spectating. It will be a fine play, a novel, an intriguing script.
Hm, one wonders when Beatrice will wield the Golden Truth.
Well, whether the other great witches arrive now or later, the Golden Witch, the Endless Witch, had best be sure to keep things interesting for their amusement.

As someone who has no idea of what witches in the setting are, I have mixed feelings to this. On one hand, from those statements I get that witches are whimsical due to boredom, and have some kind of heriarchy; which means there is a notable number of them to form a society and are incredible powerful and/or have very hax abilities that counter endbringers. On the other hand, it kinda spoilers the potential of Taylor and other background developments.

For taylor potential strength is.... based on the Beatrice the witch of infinity.. while strong is not powerful enough to contend other witches especially voyager witches such as lambda and bernkastel or Featherine
From the witches that have been mentioned
Frederica bernkastel battle with lambda is described as throwing blackhole strong enough to decimate a few galaxy and reality
The less said about Featherine Augustus Aurora the better the power of author is her power
I will just post the clip of her vs lambda:
Lambda vs frederica bernkastel note that every book in that place represents reality

Frick. I'm gonna go on a milk run for exotic dairies on the far side of the Milky way. After Taylor's done with Earth Bet, it'll be be renamed "Earth lost the Bet and had to pay".

Alright, time to tally results. I originally tried to do the system-tally counting, but without plan voting it was kind of difficult and I kept getting different answers. After a while< I realized I was overlooking the simple solution. Anyways, the manual tally is:
Golden Butterflies is currently winning with a total of 5 Votes. The closest runner up is a tea party with a total of 3 Votes.
The write ins for how Taylor acts at the funeral appear to be tied 2-2 (" By acting sad, remorseful of Emma's death, but also angry at how she died. How much of those feelings are true are up to Taylor and how she shows them. People will see a grieving and hurt girl " & " Will try to pretend to be sad and not show how incredibly relieved she is that the bitch is gone ").
Only the post office will ship in this quest is the clear winner, barring a landslide of votes in the near future.
The voting will close completely tomorrow. From here on out though, I will politely request that all voting occurs in plan format in order to try to simplify the counting process. Also, any errors in counting should be pointed out before tomorrow.

The write ins for how Taylor acts at the funeral appear to be tied 2-2 (" By acting sad, remorseful of Emma's death, but also angry at how she died. How much of those feelings are true are up to Taylor and how she shows them. People will see a grieving and hurt girl " & " Will try to pretend to be sad and not show how incredibly relieved she is that the bitch is gone ").
Only the post office will ship in this quest is the clear winner, barring a landslide of votes in the near future.

I would advise against it. Plan votes should be used only for when the players deal with a set of interconnected actions that could lead to a nonsensical result should different combinations win. It encourages bandwagon votes and ignores individual preferences. What if I only want to weigh in on the shipping?
The problem with the current vote count is that it isn't formatted correctly.
These are not the votes a tally can process, yet people voted in this format anyway because it was how QM proposed it. If you wanted them to be tallied up, they should have been done like this:
and marked with an [x] to cast a vote.

I have a few questions
1. Could someone more knowledgeable about the source material explain about the color coded truths?
2. Can the penalty for losing be adjusted and if so dose it have to be lethal
3. Has the Canary thing happened yet and would it constitute an attempt at settings up a closed room murder

Alright, vote is called. Update should happen soon.
I'll try it one more time to see if that format works. A vote in the low double digits is easy enough to hand count, but as (hopefully) more people become involved machine counting will have to suffice.
1. The text in red is the truth.
2. Maybe, but probably not. Umineko is a game of murder, and murder involves death. That said though, the penalty is not set in stone. There needs to be an in character reason to want someone alive if that is the case.
3. If you seek to murder Canary, two things have to happen first: 1) Taylor has to be informed of it. Considering Canary was canonically arrested in 2010, she probably knows of it but 2) Beatrice must be challenged or Taylor must actually care about the trial. Right now, she has her own problems to worry about. You have some time if you want to murder her, but eventually she will be Birdcaged if you do not interfere.

Ok based on the wiki. While i enjoy umineko i don't believe i can explain it
Blue truth :
1. It is mainly used to represent a possibility to counter the logic of the Witch's Side, but can also be used against humans as well.
2. must continue to abide by the Red Text and can be assumed to be true. Unless they refuted by other color text
3. The Blue Truth must be used in a manner that advances the user's overall theory, rather than simply fishing for more information
4. TLDR = we can say that blue text is a hypothesis that must be proved and can be refuted by other color text
Red truth :
1. The Red Truth is a fact that can be presented But, while undeniable, it can have multiple interpretations.
2. If someone attempts to lie or repeat false information using the Red Truth, they will choke on the words that they're trying to say.
3. TLDR : i don't know how to explain this one
Golden truth:
1. while its strength is on par with the red truth, it may be inferior or superior to it depending on the situation
2. the gold truth is revealed by Ange to be a truth constructed from belief, that is acknowledged and shared between people. Thus can protect against red truth
3. Not fully explained and up to reader interpretation in the original source material
For your second question i think battler become beatrice pet (read dog) and have his mind fully broken after he lose the game. Thought his spirit get lifted by bernkastel and lambda in order to continue to the next game board. This happen in the second volume
For the third question. I would advise against saving her. Witches have blue and yellow morality. Trying saving her may throw her into live worse than death
