This blogfest is hosted by the wonderful Watery Tart. Here's what she said:
You can do ANY (or all) of the following:Doom-doom, doom-doom, doom doom doom doom doom doom DOOOOOOOM!!!!
Predict your own deathPredict someone ELSES death
Write your own obituaryWrite someone ELSES obituaryPlot a murder of someone sorely asking for it, step by step
I don't care whether you do it by story, plot list, news article, PROPHECY (any seers in the group?). All I ask is that SAID DEATH be either very strange, unusual, bizarre...conspiratorial... or that the reporting be entertaining.
I am okay with gore, but if you choose to include it, please be considerate of other festers and post a WARNING. And if you really ARE a soothsayer or seer, keep that stuff to yourself. Nobody wants to know... this is FOR FUN.
*ahem*
This is a letter that could have been written by the Duchess of Sunere, who might or might not be plotting to kill her sister the Queen. (imagine this written in very ornate writing with purple ink)
Dearest Brother,
I know Your position as Chancellor of Ambras prevents You from visiting Us. You are Vital to the running of the Realm for Our sister the most beloved Queen. I have no doubt that Her Majesty could not do without you even one moment - this I must accept, even though I would be so very happy to have You here, visiting Diassan and Myself in Our humble castle. We have, I believe, much to discuss regarding Our sister and how We might further assist her in caring for Our people.
After all, Our sister has trusted me with Her own flesh and blood, Our dearest niece and princess Camille. She has grown into quite the beauty under My watchful eye, and seems rather fond of My own Diassan. I believe We can anticipate a favourable development between the two of them.
Have You had contact with Our Mutual Friend? I would be fascinated to hear of his opinions on our plans. Your importance in Our sister's court will surely work to Our advantage there, and Diassan is poised to travel - at Camille's side or without her - whenever the word is given.
I look forward to hearing from You soon,
Your most loving Sister,
Esa, Duchess of Sunere, Guardian of the Crown Princess, Third in Line to the Throne of Ambras
There! Suitably obscure? Esa is that kind of person. She even talks in Capital Letters (or would if that were possible).
Go HERE to find lots of other Doom-Like stories!

Ooooo scandal! I love it! Great entry!!
I really like this, mostly because I'm in love with your richly wonderful world building skills. I'm totes jealous of them. lol.
And you will be happy (maybe) to know that my entry is yet another episode of Happy Acres.
I look forward to reading more of this story you're working. It sounds scandalous and intriguing and fun!
LOL...like the direction you took, a very naughty and mean character.
Dooooooom! Love it, wanna read lots more... stalking you back. mwahahahaha!
very subtle and good.
what a wicked fun party this is.

toadstool - like the letter - read between lines not pleasant person
Tessa,
I love you intro and how Esa talks in capitol letters.
TOO funny.
She is the Ice princess.

I like how you’ve capture the air of aristocracy in there.
Brilliant, I think I will avoid befriending her.

She is definitely the Ice Princess. No safe backs with her around and that's for sure! GREAT JOB. I had to use all capitols out of respect to her deadliness, and all! Roland
Very nefarious and scandalous. Great fun to read. :)
Oooooh! Very cloak and dagger and sneaksy! I can see she is talking around SOMETHING, but what?! Very nice!
lol this is an amusing blogfest. I like that the letter was written in purple ink. Fitting.
At first, I thought you might be hiding the real message in the capital letters. Then I couldn't find a connection. Is she threatening the life of the niece if they don't do what she wants? Interesting, but I'll have to look closer to find the real message.

I have this problem at my day job: what you know vs what you can prove. This letter is full of intent. I'd be marshalling my troops if I intercepted it, but doubt I could convince the sheriff to lend his support.
Well done.
.......dhole
I like! What an intriguing and clever entry!
Hey T,
nicely creepy as ever... Esa freaks me out. Especially the purple ink.
While this blogfest theme is sketchy and creepy to say the least...0_0....it's so creative and sounds like a lot of fun! :D haha
This was an excellent letter, a very interesting read!
Doomsday indeed.

Creepy entry, but you can tell there is SO much not being said, but just being vaguely hinted at. :)
