After settling the audience, Thomas opened the ceremony. "Welcome all my friends and a deep thank you for joining us this evening as we celebrate the perseverance that Damien has shown to complete his journey and achieve his full Master tag, and now joins the ranks of the many fine Masters of Roissy Val D'Oise.

"Dominant Interns receive their role and begin work on their path task and they are very eager was we know to progress. They do learn a great deal about themselves and the others around them as they progress as they interact with the others around them, both Dominants and submissives alike. Here at Roissy Val d"OIse, everyone helps each other and the celebration of a Master making it to the Chateau is for all of the famlie

"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. 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.

"Damien is a great example of dedication and perseverance. He paused his path for a while and came back even more dedicated to learning  the key lessons we have here at our wonderful sim. Damien, kudos to you my friend for your focus and dedication to Roissy"

Before I turn the floor over to Damien  and his guest speakers, I wish to present his Master ring that has been made for the Masters of Roissy VDO." He walks over to him, offering him the ring. "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.

"Damien on behalf of Rene, I give this to you as well as one who now joins the ranks of the Masters of the Chateau."

Damien gratefully accepts the ring, and places it on his finger with reverence, "Thank you Thomas, I will do my best to honor the role bestowed upon me now." Thomas shakes his hand and smiles, "Damien. The floor is yours."  Damien shakes Thomas' hand firmly and speaks.

"Friends... thank you for being here tonight. It means the world to me. Some of you I have come to know recently. Others are old friends. I am so happy to see all of you here. Before I say any more, two dear people to me will be saying a few words. I am very happy to be made Master today under my current mentor. I fondly remember working as a team on initiations years ago, and recall immediately liking him and connecting. Since then, he has been a friend of mine over the years, who I would check in with, even in periods when the outside world had me firmly in its grasp. I humbly thank him for swooping in and adopting me as mentee, and for his friendship and sage words of advice. He requires no introduction here, really.

"Loki, the floor is all yours, my friend."

Loki nods and steps to the middle taking Damien's hand for a firm shake, "thank you Damien, we'll see about just a few words though." He looks around at the patio full of friends and family, nods to Thomas, then winks at Norma before taking a slow breath.

"I'm honored and delighted to be here with all of you this evening to support and celebrate with Damien as he joins the ranks of Masters here at Roissy. Damien and I started here close together, actually one of my first memories of him was him being protector and me second in my first initiation. As I recall we both had fun and likely both got grumbled at for taking too long.  I'll try to make up for it by keeping this shorter.

"In a series of coincidences I heard later of his skills at role playing as he did a stretch playing a thug in Norma's sister final." He looks over at Damien thoughtfully, "Hopefully a stretch?" then smiles, "Actually I'm always happy to have him around and have enjoyed his company, a nicer guy you won't find....except when a thug is needed. When Damien came back from a major real life interruption we chatted on and off, and, I was delighted to help as his mentor for the last bit of his journey here.  He knows who he is and where he is going and what his priorities are, a solid and capable person who I can learn from as well.

"Many of you likely were able to go to his workshop "The Care Languages of Aftercare" a thoughtful and insightful way of looking at peoples needs in aftercare, and the differences we all have in our needs and what makes us feel special and appreciated. As I said at the start, I have known Damien for most of my time here at Roissy, a friendly, dependable Dominant who carefully thinks through his actions and responsibilities.  I am proud to both be his mentor and his friend. Congratulations Damien, you have truly earned the title Master of Roissy Val d'Oise and are an asset to our community."

Loki turns, takes Damien's hand again with a smile and a firm shake, and a pat on the back before he

Damien gets up, shakes Loki's hand, "Thank you, friend," perhaps, unusually, at a loss for words. I am already beyond humbled, and touched.

"Now... A very pleasant surprise of the more recent portion of my journey, has been the opportunity to perform my final task with Becca. I've known her for years, and engaged in many interesting and enlightening conversations throughout, but we never had the opportunity to scene. Well, it turns out, she scenes like an animal, so to speak. I am very grateful to have had such a lovely and enthusiastic partner for my final task, who was a joy to work with, from the detailed negotiation I subjected her to, through to the conclusion of the scene itself.


F I N A L   S C E N E   S I S T E R

Becca blushes, focusing on his shiny new ring. "Becca, would you kindly say a few words?"

"Yes Master Damien it would be a pleasure. She stands, smoothing out her dress, eyes wander across the crowd, smiles appreciating the family support today. "When Maitre Thomas gave me the name of the Dominant I wasn't sure what to expect." Turns to smile to him, "So, without further ado, a few words"

"When I realized I would be doing Sir Damien final,. I had talked to him on a superficial level a bit, watching his abilities to guide submissives time and time again. He is always willing and giving of his time and dedication. And very self-disciplined. but I didn't feel that I knew him that well."  This was my first time, doing a final, and I was hoping to not disappoint.  I needn't have worried.  From the very start to the very end, the time went quickly, surprised when it was time to part ways..

 "Master Damien pays close attention to detail, our negotiation, left nothing out, and the scene that followed, was thought provoking, tantalizing, and I can literally, go on and on.  Those that know me, are aware of what an impact a scene can have on me, as I love to scene, and Master Damien, was not, lacking in any regard.

"There are some Dominants with the ability to put a sub at ease, quickly, effortlessly, bringing, in its wake..trust.   After hours had past, discussing everything, I had found myself opening up, laughing, and enjoying the time, feeling quite ready to endure the task at hand.

"His aftercare was very much devoted to me the submissive allowing me to bask in the sunshine and wade in the ocean of our Roissy beach reflecting on our experience.. His concern was if I was okay and that was asked several days after. I was not left alone in my subspace.

"I have no doubts that he will make a wonderful Master and as time goes past, a very good Maitre. He understands the sim rules, abides and follows them to the best of his abilities. He has stepped up in time of need. He has shown and proven he is a strong Dominant. I have to honestly say, I'm more than happy, that this experience has been a part of my life.  I've watched Master Damien use his Dominant skills for some time, with our Roissy submissives, more so just recently.  Knowing that he now joins the rank of Master, along with our other Roissy Masters, it is very well deserved.

"Thank you Master Damien, for making this final, a memorable one.  You have put much time and effort into your path, and are deserving of the accolades for your endeavor. I hope that your path no matter where it leads you is as enlightening to you as you have been to me and others that you have touched here. I am thankful our paths crossed here no matter how brief or how long it lasts. It is an honor to know you and I congratulate you on your accomplishments! Congratulations...Master Damien!!"

She smiles taking a breath returning to her cushion kneeling,

Damien rises, responds. "My goodness, thank you Becca, for your very kind words. That scene certainly was memorable, rewarding, and even helped me refine and shape my own path going forward. I certainly hope our paths will cross again, imminently.
 

M A S T E R   S P E E C H

Damien looks out at the community gathered there before him and again clears his throat to speak.

"I am humbled and honored by all of your kind words and thoughts, by the ongoing support and growth provided to me by this community, and by the title of "Master" bestowed upon me today.

"At Roissy, the path from Dominant to Master is long, detailed, and challenging.  It is also an exciting, exhilarating path. The thrill of meeting and connecting with so many wonderful people. The highs, and occasional lows, of the kind of activity we engage in here. There is nothing quite like it. I'd wager there is not a single Dominant undergoing this endeavor who will not learn and change throughout the process. If they do not, then it surely hasn't been done right. But there is no endpoint to learning, and the title "Master" itself is misleading, in my opinion. For a master, of all people, knows that their knowledge is only a drop in the ocean.

"To me, a master is one who has become the disciple of their own failures, more so than their successes. A master has seen visions of the endless path ahead, and insists, no matter what, on continuing the journey. And so the quest continues. I am immensely proud of the work I have put in to this community thus far. The log is only part of it. The numerous extra curricular scenes. And the many occasions on which I was afforded the opportunity to help other members with their progress. In many ways, those have been more rewarding experiences than the scenes found in my own file. In fact, what I look forward to most now, is to simply continue giving to the community. As a Master of Roissy, I will relish not so much the title, but the chance to give back fully to this wonderful place and the people herein, and to continue my own process of growth.

"To that end, I look forward to mentoring the budding Dominants of this community, should my guidance be requested. And to engaging with the submissives, to help them progress and learn along their own paths of discovery. To put it simply, I look forward to just being here, as a Master of Roissy, with all the responsibilities associated with that title. I cannot thank all of you enough. Roissy Val-d'Oise is a beautiful place that we are fortunate to call home, thanks to René. But ultimately, it is only as special as the people within it, and their care for one another. So let us continue to come together

As some of you know, I have happily returned here after a necessary hiatus of several years. I am very grateful that I was accepted back with open arms, and given the opportunity to complete my path here. Thank you, René, Thomas, and to all the administrators. I am delighted to be back.

I also want to thank my mentor Loki, and my two prior mentors, Sam Cabot and Petra Steele. All of them exemplified the class and expert guidance that makes the program of tutelage here special."

Thomas adds.."We are happy, that you are back, Damien"

"Becca, thank you again for your kind and enthusiastic support, friendship over the years, and for being my willing victim in the final task. I also want to thank Norma for selflessly offering to make the lovely texture for this event, and for her assistance in decorating. And I shall not forget Dusty, who will be rockin' the ballroom with tunes for us to shake it to. Thank you, my friend. And thank you as well to the lovely Priscilla who will be hosting momentarily.

"Finally, I am awe struck by the friendship and comradeship I have been privileged to find here over the years. Thank you, to my many friends present, and to those who have come and then continued their own journeys elsewhere. Why would we be doing this, if not for our friends? Here's to to each and every one of you, to every single dominant and submissive of Roissy, and to everyone who pours their heart out in the operation of this beautiful place, or into the passionate scenes that drive us to be here.

"Thank you all! Now let's go get freaky! Thomas, I have gone on long enough, the floor is yours once more, my friend."

The crowd cheers him long and jubilantly, expressing many congratulations.

Thomas walks to the chilling champagne, and smiles, ah yes, the Dom Pérignon 1955, thinks to myself..."Dom Pérignon contains grapes only from a single year, showcasing that vintage’s unique characteristics of a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay."

He pours myself a flute full and gives one to Damien "Everyone grab a glass to toast."

The audience roars with joy and bursts with toasts to the new Master.

"I also wish to take the opportunity to also thank Rene, for providing al of this for us, for having the vision to bring us all together,  we are a large diverse group with many things to share, and It warms my heart for having all of this to share with each and everyone.  You are all dismissed  now, lets go dance and celebrate with  Damien  at the Ballroom with DJ Dusty at 7pm - very shortly."
