Propriétaire et Maître De Roissy Val d'Oise René
VdO Superviseur Maitre Dusty Caldera
On a lazy, quiet Saturday afternoon, members of the family gathered on the Chateau Patio to celebrate Sir Cal's Master Ceremony. As all settled, Maitre Dusty stood and gave his address.
"Welcome all my friends and a hearty thank you for joining us today as we celebrate the determination and perseverance that Master Cal has shown to complete his journey, which began in July 2015 and and to finally achieve his full Master role. He now joins the ranks of the many fine Masters of Roissy Val D'Oise.
"From the time applicants receive their Dominant Intern role and begin work on their training tasks, it is much like any other journey where one seeks to learn and complete work and yet learn a great deal about themselves and the others around them. They find the others around them, both Dominants and submissives alike teaching one another from their wealth of wisdom.
"At Roissy Val d'Oise, we believe that being a Master of the Chateau is an achievement to be truly earned through hard effort, education and practical experience exercising new concepts and getting to know oneself. We ask our Dominants to demonstrate their diligence in learning about our culture here at VdO, and BDSM in general, to express their knowledge and understanding of critical components in this lifestyle and to exhibit skill in building creative, enjoyable and erotic scenes with the submissive women in our community.
"As with anything in life, not everyone who begins this journey completes it. Those who do complete it do so because they don't give up, they keep moving forward. Many come here looking for a chance to have good role-play; most that make it through their training to earn their Master's tag discover much more than that. They discover a chance to learn, or re-learn about themselves and about D/s relationships and BDSM concepts in a warm, encouraging growing community that takes it's heart from the Story of O.
"Cal's former mentor Justyn Clawtooth was instrumental in getting him started on his path. His current mentor, Jac0b Romano, will have a few words to say in a moment but I'd like to go over a couple of accomplishments that Cal has managed to be involved in during his training journey. Cal is always ready to volunteer and step up to the plate when needed. He continually volunteering to help out with projects and initiations whenever his time permitted.
"He exhibits an excellent role-play style and is always happy to please our lovely submissives whenever he can. I'm sure that Asfridr, Chanti, Catrine, and Ginger will all attest to his skill as he was part of their initiation during one of our busiest months with 11 initiations in July 2016. Xanadu, who will speak in a moment was also instrumental in his growth when she assisted in the completion of his final scene on September 18, 2016.
"Cal's workshop "Silent Sound of Surrender" was well received when it was presented on September 13, 2016. Great job in enlightening us in the several ways that we can bring about a bit of silence and quiet in our lives when interacting with our wonderful submissives."
He smiles at Cal, remembering all of the talk about ball gags. Sir Cal grins.
"Before I turn the floor over to Cal and his guest speakers, I wish to present his Master ring that has been made for the Masters of Roissy VDO. So Cal, on behalf of Rene, I give this to you as well as one who now joins the ranks of the Masters of the Chateau."
Maitre Dusty walks over to Sir Cal, offering him the ring.
Master Cal receives the ring from Dusty with one hand, then sides it onto his other hand, face grimacing a bit as it snuggly slips into place. He looks at it.
"Thank you Dusty. Its still hard to believe this day has come."
"We are honored to have you in our community as we are with the rest of our family here. I know that you will continue the hard work you have demonstrated so far as you continue this next part of your journey in our community. Congratulations Cal!"
The following speeches were given in support of Master Cal
Sister Amaya
Well, Master Cal came to me like just a week ago and asked me if I would speak at his this event. And I was like.............welllllllllllll. maybeeeeeeee. I laughed and told him, "of course, Sir Cal I would be honor to speak at your Master ceremony.'.
I first met Master Cal when he returned Roissy after being away for a while. I saw this gorgeous handsome man with long dark hair at one of our dances, and I was like, wow, I have to dance with him. Not being shy, I took a chance and IM'ed him and asked him to dance. To my delight he agreed.
Sir Cal. I mean, Master Cal (that has a very nice ring to it) is one of those dominants that listens to you. I have found him to be ingenious with his ability to make you really feel what is going on. His witty humor and conversation makes a girl feel totally at ease. In addition, the sexiness that erupts from his emotes is extraordinary. I am thrilled that we have grown closer to become real friends as well as to share a submissive and dominant dynamic.
I have spoken to a few of the submissives and I asked them if they knew Master Cal and would write something to share about him for this day
Here are a few:
> Svana stated: "Sir Cal, is very kind, easy to talk to as well and handsome and a complete gentlemen. Quick witted, smart and, easy to trust."
> Leilani said: "Sir Cal is a man who knows how to change the course of Role-play when a Sub calls a safe word. He is a gracious, kind. and gentle man who check on a girl for days after a scene and cares."
> Sweet said about him: "I have found him to be funny and a good listener."
> Venna was kind enough to say this: "Sir Cal is a very pleasant and approachable Dominant who is always willing to chat and spend time with any girl. It is a real pleasure to be in his company" Venna
>Ori she shared a story: Oh Sir Cal is a wonderful, sweet man. Ppssstt... good in bed too. Very tender, caring, humorous, smart too. He's not one of those In Your Face dominants. I don't think he has a unlovable bone in his body. We went dancing, and the host made some kind of joke or something about getting naked. I think it was lingerie Wednesday, and I was in a very skimpy bit of fluff. So I teased Sir Cal who was fully clothed. Sir Cal removed only his shirt.. Ladies! I know, I know, I am an easy drooler over men's chests. But Sir Cal has a very nice chest.. the kind you want to bury your nose in. Anyway, It took awhile of cajoling and getting fully naked myself before Sir Cal stripped... To his Superman underpants! My Master Jax and I are very proud to call Sir Call our friend.
>Finally from Syndra: Mmm, Sir Cal is one of those Doms you dream about in your sleep and afterwards, wake up in a cold sweat with the sheets all tangled about your legs. -winks Sir Cal has a great personality and when he's not sweeping the subs off their feet, he's tickling a funny bone... or, pouring a bucket of ice over a head and puffing a cigar in a face to teach a lesson. Ohh and let's don't forget the spankings... Mmmm.
Yes I remember that cigar Master Cal. There is a common theme about this man in all these remarks. He is in that rare group of Masters that literally and truthfully cares and listens to a submissive. I am honored and grateful to the Universe that he is my friend.
Master Cal you are going to be one of the most wonderful and delicious Masters here at Roissy. Congratulations my dear friend on your accomplishment.
O Xanadu
Thank you Master Cal. Greetings Maitre Dusty .. Maitres Masters Mistress Sirs Misses and Ladies. I will begin by saying this .. it is always an honor to be chosen and then approved by the Dom Supervisor to become a task sister to a Dominant for their finals is a humbling experience, they are tested both in their strengths and weaknesses, just as we submissives are in our finals with our Maitres.
Our Honoree today is Master Cal .. i will remain brief here .. He and i first met in August a year ago when he came to Roissy. In our earliest of conversations .. i quickly realized He really was a great guy .. we chatted many times having had like interests .. and quickly formed a bond .. Master Cal is one i would go to immediately and with out hesitation for needed assistance or advice.
Once beginning His path .. he showed his shy side being reserved and quiet .. but always very much a gentleman. As many of us experience .. there was a point where he had to place his path secondary to rl .. still we conversed and soon he was able to return to us .
I have seen his growth and His eagerness to learn His role as a Dominant. Sir Cal reached forward and pulled his Dominance to the surface as many here can confirm .. I have also seen He is always willing to assist any one on their path doing scenes a discussion or simply just talking ... as any loyal member of our community should.
Master Cal is a Dominate who will guide his submissive safely .. while being sensitive and caring. He has became a strong confident Dominate .. remembering his explicit orders .. reviewing of my limits and his discipline in my attire .. all the while continuing to be concerned for me and my well being .. before .. during and to the end His finals.
I will add if you didnt attend His Masters workshop: "The Silent Sound of Surrender".. you should .. i was very pleased .. to have been experienced a taste of this with him .. as he used it in to his finals .. as it is one of my * do likes *
In closing .. i will add also .. to insure a relaxed relationship here .. it always helps for both the Dominates and submissives to take the time to reach forward to other, especially to our Interns and Debutantes .. as some maybe feeling unsure of their new place here in our community and offer to assist with their task logs.
Maitre Dusty .. i am very humbled to officially submit my recommendation for Master Cal to become an honored Master of Roissy Val D' Oise.
Maitre JacOb
Hard work deserves just rewards and trust me when I say , “he has worked hard.” I want to say it gives me great pleasure to be standing here with him on his day of celebration.
I had met Calvin on July 30th of this year. He had mentioned he had started his path back in August of 2015 then became discouraged in his path and became somewhat inactive. His goal now was to get back into the swing of things. He seemed lost and needed some direction and was looking for a mentor.
During this initial interview I recognized a very likable and sincere fellow who very much wanted to do this path. He was sincere and forthcoming. I was privileged after our chat that he consented that I became his mentor. All I had to do was point him in a direction, set a few immediate goals and I had a man dedicated to his task. He attacked the assignments with relish, surprising me with the proficiency he displayed in accomplished his task.
I had taken the time to observe his time in VDO. You will see him supporting the community in a very vigorous way. He works hard with the demosilles and sisters. You can find him in the chateau doing more then his share doing initiations, and log scenes. He is already an asset to the community and will be even more so when he dons the title of Master that he so rightfully earned.
Needless to say, my initial feelings about him were correct. Here before you is a sincere man who is responsible, honest and one who adheres to the principles of the VDO community. It is my honor to recommend him as he earned privilege of a Master.
You deserve it Cal , congratulations.
Master Cal's Speach
I am truly honored to be here today, and for all of you to be present for me. It is a reoccurring theme here at VdO that people begin, struggle, take time out, and return to finish, and I am one of those people. I had been started the Master path in August of 2015.
I withdrew quite a bit from the sim, and even SL as a whole at the end of last year until this last spring, due to many factors, really largely in response to real life events, and also my slow discovery of who I was as a dominant.
Second Life may be called a game, but within it you meet and are touched by people, real people, on the other end of the wire and screen, and the journey with its trials and self-discovery here are real. Lessons that strike at the very core of the real life soul and our understanding of our place in the world. Lessons in life that cannot be bought with dollars or $L, but with time, patience, friendship, and love.
I had read the “Story of O” a few years ago, and it was gripping. When I TP’d into VdO, somewhat randomly looking for a store I was like “Wow, a real Roissy”. People always say that if you can imagine something in your mind it probably exists somewhere in SL, but I had never dreamt of a Roissy chateau.
I chatted with a few people, looked around, was given a tour. Days later JC interviewed and voice validated me and I was on my way on the trek that leads me to this day.
I want to thank JC (Justyn Clawtooth) for all of his help as an intern, and then as my mentor as I learned more about BDSM and my own role as a dominant.
His knowledge, confidence, the very way he speaks to submissives in a dominant, yet caring, tone were invaluable and have made an impact on me and how I have developed. Unfortunately he is not as active at VdO as he once was, but he is still a friend and a resource.
In the last part of my path Jac0b became my mentor. We chatted and quickly became friends, buddies, brothers. His kind, calm guidance, helping me to set goals for myself, and regular IM’s to see if I was meeting them went a long way to getting me to finish the path. The other day he completed his own path to Maitre. We are all lucky to have him in our midst as he settles into his new role.
There are far too many people to thank to name individually and also the fear of forgetting one and feeling guilty so I am not going to even go there. But to the other dominants who I’ve learned from and continue to learn from, thank you, and keep up the good work. To the debutantes, demoiselles, and Sisters...Whether a chat, a scene, or something in between. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I do wish to individually thank Amaya for her help. Her infectious enthusiasm for BDSM and roleplay played an integral part of some of the more difficult portions of my logs and she instilled in me a confidence I had not known before. Like many people here she is very modest, which is why I asked her to speak and why I wanted to publicly thank her.
Lastly, Xanadu. A friend here since my very first days and first dance in the ballroom. We chatted and quickly found a common interest/bond from our RLs *winks knowingly at her*. Her friendship, encouragement and help have been invaluable. She has touched us all of us with her caring, advice, or listening ear and I am proud of her in becoming our newest ‘O’ girl.
When I was away from VdO last winter, doing other things, I would occasionally receive TP requests from Xanadu to come to the docks or chateau gardens. I declined them saying I was busy, then one day she replied something like, “Okay, whatever.” I don’t remember the exact words but I remember the sad feeling, like I had let down a friend
It is one of the catalysts which brought me back to be with you all, and to continue my path. The rewards I have reaped since continuing are unlike any I have experienced in my SL life. So, thank you, Xanadu, for getting pissed off at me that day.
And since I took up the path again with renewed passion I have again relied on her friendship and wisdom. I was chatting with her on my remaining requirements and the topic of the Final scene came up. I knew I would be honored for her to complete it with me. When I got the assignment I contacted her and we made arrangements and completed it. It was trying, as a final should be, but was a good time and very memorable. So again, thank you Xanadu, from the bottom of my heart.
With that, brings the sad closing of my remarks. Thank you, family, for your patience, your friendship, and your love. Thank you.
Maitre Dusty Closing Speech
Thank you, Cal, Jac0b, Xanadu, and Amaya and to all of you in the community. Our community cannot be as great as it is without the expert guidance, shared knowledge and wonderful friendships that we all promote here as part of our Roissy family!
