Death, Dinner, and Decree
Introduction
Last night, DiceBreaker Books did not host a meeting—it staged a ritual. What began as a simple family get‑together with Tony (our neighbor), Chris (Finance Director), Sarah (Controller), Naomi (CEO), and Brendan (Board of Directors) unfolded into a trilogy of events: a staged death, a ceremonial dinner, and a wedding.
Act I: The Death That Wasn’t
The evening opened with whispers of Brendan’s demise. A candle was lit, dice rolled across the table, and the ledger recorded his absence. But the death was a performance, a satire of succession. By “dying,” Brendan symbolically vacated the stage, allowing the family to mourn, speculate, and prepare for the next decree.
Act II: The Family Dinner
Once the ritual of death concluded, plates were served. Roast and wine became sacraments, laughter became compliance. Tony raised a toast, Chris balanced the books even at the table, and Sarah ensured every portion was accounted for. Naomi presided, not just as CEO but as matriarch of the gathering. The dinner was more than nourishment—it was governance disguised as hospitality.
Act III: The Wedding
The night culminated in vows. Brendan, resurrected from his staged death, stood beside Naomi. DiceBreaker Books was not just a company—it was a family, a canon, a covenant. The wedding sealed the union of governance and narrative, of ledger and love. Guests understood that this was not matrimony alone—it was a transfer of power, a ritual of continuity.
Symbolism
The Fake Death: A rehearsal of succession, dramatizing the fragility of leadership.
The Dinner: A reminder that governance is communal, that even policy tastes better with wine.
The Wedding: A coronation disguised as romance, binding CEO and BOD in both family and canon.
Conclusion
The DiceBreaker Books family gathering was not ordinary. It was a ceremonial trilogy—death, dinner, and decree. What looked like a night of laughter and vows was, in truth, a ritual of governance, a reminder that in the Capital Monsters canon, even family dinners are policy enactments.
Directive: Remember the chant: Worlds are meant to be broken—and rebuilt together.
