It was a chilly wintry day in Roissy when Maitre Thomas cleared his throat, offering to those assembled "Attention, please be respectful & keep your scripts to a minimum.  Xanadu, please bring forward Demoiselle Aimee and place her on the cushion near Sting."

Xanadu smiled to Aimee, her Sister-to-be, giving her some added strength before slipping the the bra from her dress, then lifted a small pot of rouge from her pocket, rubbing just enough redness on each nipple causing them to perk and become proudly displayed for all to see, then winked to her, after placing her clothing in a secure place.

Aimee felt her breasts exposed… the winter air kissing her nipples causing them to tighten really hard.


Xanadu whispered softly “Follow me my huni,” before turning toward the stage, to lead her forward. When in proper position she stopped, unleashed her then directed her to the cushion, "Please kneel here." then waiting as she knelt, then moved to her own place. Aimee nervously found her place at Maitre Sting's feet focusing on deep breaths.

 

Xanadu looked out at the crowd assembled "Maître Thomas, honored guests.  Welcome all to this joyous event for today we come together to witness the Graduation of Demoiselle Aimee, who will join the exclusive ranks of the Roissy Val d'Oise Sisterhood.  It is with some sadness that we bid farewell to this Demoiselle as she leaves her path here in Samois to rejoin the wider Roissy community. Her path does not end here, it is ever evolving.  But, this is a happy occasion that brings us here today as I am able to announce that as Samois loses a Demoiselle today, Roissy Val d'Oise gains a welcome Sister.”

”As a Sister she will continue to be active with Samois, as it is Sisters who will be the Mentors to the young and striving Debutantes and Demoiselles.  Sisters will always be welcomed at Samois, it is their home and comfort center, if they should ever feel the desire or need.  The Samois Sisters, Assistants or myself will always be available if you ever need a shoulder to lean on or just a friendly chat.  Maitre Thomas I respectfully invite you to welcome everyone."

Maitre Thomas stood, adjusting his tie, then looked at Aimee and smiled, the expression mirrored on Aimee’s face.  He shifted his weight to his right foot, opening his arms gesturing to the crowd, "Esteemed and loyal Members and Guests, you are gathered here today for one of our oldest and most beloved traditions at Roissy Val d'Oise.” He slid his hands in his suit pockets, speaking with pride, "The sister graduation is the cumulation of hard work and patience.  Our Aimee's graduation means quite a lot to her and to all of our family who watched her grow in her mission as a result of her training here."

Thomas flashed a smile to what's-her-name Lark as he continued “Today is a very special day for her as she graduates from Demoiselle Aimee to Sister Aimee, a significant milestone indeed. Her path has spanned a long time and this shows that Aimee has patience and determination. Two very admirable qualities.”  Lark Bowen gives Maitre Thomas a look and shakes her head, pulling out her ‘My name is…’ nametag.

Thomas coughed behind his hand and continued. “The path of a submissive is never an easy one, but if it were easy anyone could and would do it. The sisters of our sim earn the right to be called ‘Sister’ and are not granted a tag on admission like some sims do. Our submissives are not just 'anyone', they have graduated from the most complete submissive training path in Second Life.  I have to admire Aimee's persistence, as this achievement is taken some time.  We have come a long way since we used a boat to transport the Sisters to be to the platform, in 2012. Our path has been refined by many years of lessons learned to make it the successful learning path we know today.  This is no ordinary path that we have here, and I know I can speak for all of us when I say that we are very proud of Aimee.” He quieted, smiled, and played with his Roissy ring, "Please continue, Xanadu."
Xanadu looked up from her cushion

"Yes Maître Thomas and thank you for your kind and encouraging words regarding Demoiselle Aimee.” then smiled to Venna. "Sister Venna would you please welcome everyone on behalf of the House of Samois?"

 

F O R   S A M O I S   H O U S E

Venna stood, moving away a little from her place on the platform, straightening her gown and smiling as she held onto the pieces of paper in her hand. "Thank you Xanadu," she turned slightly acknowledging the other dignitaries. Addressing and welcoming them accordingly. “Maitres, Masters, O and Sisters,” smiling and nodding to each then facing the audience  Lifting her face to look out to all the members of our family and friends of VdO and Aimee who have come to witness another beautiful submissive be presented before them.  "Maitres, Maitresses, Masters, Mistresses, Sirs, Misses, Sisters, Dems, Debs and friends, it is with great honour and pleasure I stand here before you to represent the House of Samois on this wonderful occasion.  Today we celebrate and share in the accomplishments and achievements which Demoiselle Aimee has made on her path to becoming a Sister of Roissy Val d'Oise.” She smiled over to the beauty kneeling by Maitre Sting’s feet.

"Aimee began her journey quite a while back, but due to real life commitments and other extenuating circumstances  she took a little break, returning to join the community here at VdO in 2016.  She has carried on working hard to complete her journey despite all of those forks and twists in the road, and huge mountains that have sprung up and gaping holes that have opened up in her way.” Aimee lowered her head and chuckled almost shamelessly at Venna’s words.

Venna continued, "A journey that at times pushes us to the limits and chases most of our demons down into those dark pits that at times open up ready to swallow us and drag us down.  Aimee fought those demons and used her experiences and her own internal processes to show us that submissives can be strong as well as intelligent, beautiful, caring, hard working and determined.  It was her honesty and integrity that helped her to look into her own internal chaos that ultimately helped her to bring us her Workshop on 'Drama Prevention'. If you haven't heard it or read it I am sure that Aimee will be glad to repeat it.”  Aimee shed a single tear down her cheek.

Venna went on to say, "Like all of us she admits to 'not knowing all of the answers' and like all of us she has worked hard to get to where she is now. A fantastic achievement.  Aimee also showed us her fun and bubbly personality when she organize a great 'Car Wash' for her sister event. There were bubbles, and scantily clad submissives everywhere. Consequently there were also a lot of very hot Dominants (double entendre here) despite the hoses of water spraying everywhere. With fantastic music to wash those dirty cars to, it was great fun, thank you Aimee.”

Venna smiled over to the beautiful submissive kneeling before them, as Aimee lifted her head and smiled lovingly back to Venna "You have dug in there, Aimee.  You have left and come back several times and still managed to show what it is to work hard, learn and move forward. To open our minds and not take things or people for granted. To understand each other and to have more empathy for others and what they are going through on their journeys.”

Venna turned back to the audience gathered to share this wonderful day with Aimee.  "Thank you all for being here to support Roissy Val d'Oise and in celebrating the amazing achievements and coming to share memories of this special day with Aimee.”  Aimee pressed her hands together and blew a kiss "Thank you, Venna."

"Congratulations Aimee, you have shown what it takes to become a Sister of Roissy Val d’Oise. Thank you for becoming my sister and joining your other sisters in this wonderful place we call home.  Finally, following the ceremony, we will celebrate Aimee's Graduation in the Ballroom with Vocalist Kris Composer at 2:30pm. We invite each and everyone of you to join us there to honour our newest Sister Aimee. Thank you, all.” Venna turned, blew Aimee a kiss and went back to her position.

“Thank you Sister Venna for your gracious welcome from the House of Samois and your encouraging words to Demoiselle Aimee." Xanadu smiled to Maitre Sting "Thank you for stepping in for Maitre Taylor who was detained, will you please let us know His recommendations for Demoiselle Aimee?"

 

R E C O M M E N D A T I O N

Sting stood and walked forward slightly, facing the crowd. "Good day everyone, thank you for joining us in this celebration of Aimee’s accomplishments here at Roissy Val d'Oise. Today... hopefully," he pauses and looks over at the girl of the hour, "Aimee will receive her Sister ring.  This girl has been with us for quite some time. But, that’s fine, we do always stress that we travel our paths at our own pace. It just so happens that Aimee’s pace was extraordinary. We could all learn from such patience."

"I am sure Aimee has had her trials and tribulations on her path, I really never got into it much with Aimee or anyone else, but what I do know is in talking with her OOC or RL or however we would like to put it, she is such a unique person. She gives of herself just as she has done here in our community.  Aimee initially was to do her Sister final with another Dominant but scheduling among other things became a problem so she approached me about the possibilities. We talked and it still took another month to make it happen. I am sure she became somewhat frustrated but again she was patient."

"We met, discussed, and prepared. And prepared she was on her day of reckoning, meticulously in fact. We spent two, three hour sessions together. The first basically concentrated on her, the latter on her service to me. In both instances I came away totally satisfied. As much as I'd love to share all the details, these Sister finals are highly personal and it would be irresponsible of me to talk about it openly."

Sting turned to Aimee, looking down at her twiddling her hair between his fingers, "You have no idea how proud I am of you, and I would venture to say that there are many more here that are every bit as proud as me. You serve with fire, unbridled sensuality and sexuality, dedication, and commitment. What more could we ask?" He asked rhetorically.  Aimee blushed all over at his words and lifted her eyes gratefully to Maitre for conveying his message.

Sting then turned to the admins. "I would like to once again express to you that I do recommend and support Aimee to receive the title of Sister. She is everything we require and more of a Roissy Val d'Oise Sister." He turned, flicking Aimee’s earlobe and took his seat.

Aimee smirked as Xanadu spoke again “Thank you Maitre Sting for presenting Maître Taylor's wonderful recommendation for our Aimee. Since I am her mentor I will hold my part until later.  Maitre Thomas, you have heard the recommendations of Maitre Taylor. I respectfully invite you to confer to Demoiselle Aimee the title and the ring of Sisterhood."

 

T H E  C O N F E R M E N T

Thomas rubbed his scruffy chin, nodded in silence then shifted his weight in the nice comfortable chair thinking and reflecting on the comments and recommendations given this day. He finally waved his hand and said, "Xanadu, you may proceed."  Seeing his gesture, Xanadu continued "Demoiselle Aimee, come forward please and kneel before Maitre Thomas."

Aimee rose gracefully up from her knees, moving to the cushion before Maitre Thomas... arching her back and pressing her breasts out as Maitre Thomas looked upon the Demoiselle before him then out to the gathered community, feeling very proud to be a part of this wonderful famille of Roissy Val d’Oise. He reached into his pocket and searched for the piece of neatly folded, but worn linen stationary, containing notes about her journey.

Thomas finds the note and smiles looking toward all the Debutantes and Demoiselles, "You see submissives, I do take notes.  It seems no one else can read these but me, it is in double-secret Maitre code."  There was a soft chorus of laughter from the audience, and he continued. “You see here before you... a submissive woman, one that has honored her path. She was accepted into the House of Samois as a Debutante March 30, 2014.  She then progressed and moved on to the time of her Initiation on August 28, 2014, where she served and was opened by Dominants of Chateau Roissy Val d’Oise and became known as Demoiselle Aimee."

"Her journey continued as she traveled along wanting to learn and absorb.  On, Aimee presented an amazing workshop with the titled ‘Drama Prevention (Its causes and how to avoid it)’ . This sparked the interest of many.  She continued along next with her well planned Sister Event as she presented the amazing ‘Roissy Car Wash’ on July 16, 2017."  Thomas smiled to Aimee, "I very much enjoyed the car wash, I was able to walk around and enjoy fine sports cars, one my favorite things.  Her Final task was a test of her submission based upon her strengths and weaknesses. The House of Samois received a notice of recommendation from Maitre Taylor that all was completed and she was worthy of Sisterhood."  Aimee grinned huge at Maitre, glad he had a great time.

"Now today she kneels before us on Saturday, January 6, 2018, to receive what she had committed herself to, the giving of her submission, today she will have bestowed upon her the VdO ring and title of Sister.  You have heard about her journey and her commitment that has brought her today.  Here is a true inspiration for those who still have to complete their journey.”  Thomas took Demoiselle Aimee’s hand as he dug deep into his pockets searching for the ring before finding the correct one.  With a little relief and a confident smile he found it. As he inspected it closely, seeing the gleaming golden ring sparkle, he placed it onto Demoiselle Aimee’s finger crouching forward as he spoke softly to her, “Congratulations Aimee, you will inspire many with your grace and persistence.”

Aimee’s heart opened up, and instead of tears, she beamed, an overwhelming feeling of self-love and gratitude as she felt the weight of the ring on her finger. A radiant smile grew across her face and her eyes shone a light so bright...  she whispered softly, "Thank you, Maitre!"

A round of applause and well-wishes for Aimee filled the air as Maitre Thomas sat back, feeling very proud of her. He  turned to Xanadu, "Please Xanadu, give our newest Sister her rightful tag and let’s welcome her into our Sisterhood here at Roissy Val d'Oise.”  Xanadu hearing Maitre Thomas' instruction smiled to the kneeling Demoiselle Aimee, then looked around towards the 45 assembled members and guests drawing their attention.

More applause followed, and Xanadu continued "To become a Sister of Roissy Val d’Oise a submissive has to have many qualities, some are as follows: to be Trustworthy, Graceful, Loyal, Humble, Obedient, Enduring, Patient - and remain submissive no matter how hard that may be. You have shown these qualities.  Demoiselle Aimee, no more will you carry that title.  Cast it aside and wear this one that I give you at this time.  Wear the mark of Sisterhood with pride as you go out to a new and exciting future in Roissy Val d'Oise. I remind you to always serve with passion and fire .. and always from your heart, Sister Aimee..."

Aimee pointed her finger excitedly above her head as Xanadu smiled and said “Congratulations Sister Aimee and welcome to our honored Roissy Val d'Oise Sisterhood.”  There was another small round of cheers and well-wishes before Xanadu added  "Sister Aimee, please stand and take a moment to speak to all your friends assembled here today."

 

S I S T E R ' S  S P E E C H

Aimee smiled and gazed across to all the beautiful souls here today “Standing here on the other side of the girl I once was, I can see how I have evolved.  I recognize how I would do more talking than listening, in hopes that someone will save me from myself.  But I realized that I was the one who needed to do the saving.  What I learned: ‘You get what you give’. The more I committed to my journey, the more others would be there to support me.  The more I would reach out and help others, the more others would include me in their journey..  And the more I asked for help .. The more I realized that people truly did want to help me.

“I want to thank all of those who have supported me, accepted me for who I am… and included me in your journeys here as well. Most of all thank you to those who never gave up on me.”  Aimee turned to Xanadu and opens her heart to express her gratitude. “Xana, I could not have asked for a better mentor over the past nine months. I knew it was going to take someone strong.  Someone who won’t let me give up on myself, and who would never give up on me. For most of my journey I had never had a mentor. I realize how important it is to have someone there by your side who cares as much about your successes as a supporting Sister does. I hope to be that kind of Sister one day. Thank you soo much!”

Xanadu lifted her eyes to Aimee, blowing her a kiss, then Aimee pressed her open hands together and gave a huge smile to Maitre Sting pretending he was Maitre Taylor. “Thank you so much for being so open and willing, and supportive at the final moments of my journey. Truly if it was not for you, I would not be here right now, it would be more like 3-6 months from now.”  She chuckled “You reached out your hand to me and I took it with complete trust. I now look back with no regrets serving you for my Final. I have a few names I would like to mention as well as these people have been important people at various times while here in Roissy.  They held space for me often with understanding so that I could cry, or vent, and who have also given me great advice along the way.  Maitre Kurt, Sister Annie, Sir Corwen.”

“I would also like to thank Maitre Rene as well… After almost four years, I most recently spoke to him really for the first time.  It’s a pleasure to know him finally and because of that I am even more grateful for all he has created here for us. We have been given this opportunity to explore ourselves and connect with each other! Thank you soo much!  This has been one of the most challenging, painful, emotional yet rewarding journeys I have ever been on.  I took everything I did do and poured my heart and connection so deeply into it that often I found myself too passionate which left me emotionally vulnerable at times.”

“I have always struggled for a sense of belonging. Never quite feeling like I fit in, I wonder why that is.  I have cried more tears, ran away so many times I can’t even count. I even ran away from my first hosting event.”  She shook her head and laughed looking back “At one point in my journey I left thinking the grass was greener on the other side. What I learned is that it wasn’t, because in the end no matter how hard I tried, I was never accepted for ME, but more for what I accomplished!  Here at Roissy I am grateful to have been giving the opportunity to return and prove to myself and to you that I am a worthy Sister amongst you all. Thank you, Admins for looking at the big picture and giving me another chance. That means more to me than you realize.”

“Anticipating this moment has been the scariest part of my journey, my Ceremony - which meant succeeding for which I was afraid of for some reason.  It meant being overwhelmed with love and support which is hard for me to accept sometimes but I am, and I did it!  As I mentioned before it has taken me almost four years to get to this point and even now I hope Maitre doesn’t notice the half bottle of wine left in his office.” whispered under her wine-scented breath. She licked and bit her lip still tasting it and looked for Annie to see if she was double fisting it. Seeing if she had my glass filled and ready for when I am complete but sadly didn't see her here today.

Maitre Thomas coughed, “That was my Pinot Noir, girl.”  Aimee nervously looked away and continued “We all have our gifts and strengths and no one is better than the other.. Thank you for recognizing what those strengths are that is in me.  You are ALL amazing. Thank you so much for being here.”

Another round of happy applause and congratulations rang out as Xanadu stood again and turned to Aimee “I know your speech was written from your heart and with tears .. and this day was a long time coming for you. I ask that you please take your place before Maitre Sting.”

 

M E N T O R I N G  S I S T E R

Once Aimee had resettled, Xanadu smiled “Congratulations to my mentee and our soon to be newest Sister Aimee on your advancement becoming a Honored Roissy Val d'Oise Sister. A Sister is to always be a positive example for our Debutantes, Demoiselles, Members, and visitors of our community.” Xanadu smiled to Aimee "Aimee and I have spoken, shared and discussed many things as well as sharing tears and laughter - both path-related and otherwise, as one does when they bond with their mentees. Needless to say I am quite pleased in all of her efforts."

"An existential part of becoming a Sister is the time spent in our community actively and making a commitment to work for the betterment and the desire to help others grow.  We are fortunate to have this amazing community which Maitre Rene has offered this to us to safely learn the ins and out of BDSM.  As many have seen, sometimes it takes one a bit longer in our paths.  Needing either to step up or push back the uncertainties or doubts we have and to simply relax learn and grow, but even with this Sister Aimee moved forward at her own pace to be where she is today before us and is loved by many.” looked again over the crowd

“I first met Aimee when she had decided she was truly earnest in completing her path here, after discussions and messages, I then received her log and her files, event, pictures of her initiation. I read. Yes, it was touching to see her ups and downs, but that’s what this path is about - learning about you and others.” She smiled to Aimee "... And she made it!!  I will say that our Mentoring Sisters have a large part of this as well.  Through their guidance and support they enhance the path for the submissives and for this I sincerely thank y’all and for your assistance to me is muchly needed more than is realized."

"I was present at both at Aimee's ‘Drama Prevention (Its causes and how to avoid it) Workshop’ which opened our eyes more to the importance of ‘Avoiding Drama’ and her Sister Event ‘Roissy Car Wash’ where we had cars, motorcycles, water squirts and several other things to do as well as our wet t-shirts .. chuckles .. needless to say both were enjoyed.  Her enthusiasm has always been felt.. but was even more visioned as she entered the finals phase of her Demoiselle path.”  She smiled to Aimee “Sometimes rl tosses us a curve or two, but she withstood them.  As y’all see and with Maitre Taylor's very favorable recommendation, today as she was elevated to the status of an Honored Roissy VdO Sister."

Xanadu smiled again to her and winked “I am so proud of you Aimee, you have truly found your place here with us and you are and will indeed continue be an asset to Roissy VdO."  She then turned “Maitre Thomas, through you to Maitre Rene, I thank you for your generosity and the gift you give us daily - this wonderful community - where we are free to learn and discover our inner selves safely.” Aimee flashed her pearly whites at Xana feeling how proud she is then blew her a kiss.

 

S U M M A T I O N 

Xanadu turned back to the audience “First, and primarily to our Dominants, a sincere thank you to y'all for being here to encourage and help us, as we learn and for also for your patience.  To our Submissives, I personally thank each of you for your continued support.  Please remember, we never have to pursue anything here by ourselves, for we are a team. Each of you are special to me and above all very important to VdO.  Please continue to show your commitment and dedication as you proudly wear your titles.  Assist as you can, but above all be here, supportive of this awesome community.  In closing, please remember to hold high the principles of Roissy Val d'Oise that Maitre Rene has provided.  We have the Best of the Best here, and the positive support we offer each other only insures our strength, proving once again ‘We are Family’.”

“If there is anything you wish to share or offer the sim please let Maitre Rene know, by dropping a note card in his Red mailbox outside his office. Please remember to check our website so you will stay up to date on all the happenings of VdO http://www.roissy-vdo.com.  Maitre Thomas, that concludes the ceremony, as the House of Samois is proud to see another of its Demoiselles take her place in the wider community. May I respectfully invite you to please close the proceedings witnessed here today?"

 

T H E   T O A S T  &  D I S M i S S A L

Maitre Thomas stood, walking over to the chilling champagne, grinning, "I am thirsty today." as Aimee licked her lips.  He was relieved to find some 1953, Dom Pérignon, and poured himself and Aimee a flute full.  Aimee reached for the glass gratefully and waited. Thomas turned to the newest Sister, clicking her glass, smiling... "This is your day Sister Aimee.  Cheers !!”

Another round of bright applause and warm congratulations sung out while Maitre Thomas and Aimee took their drinks, Maitre remarking again “ Congratulations, Aimee, we all very proud of you!” then turned back to the crowd. “I thank you for sharing in your time and showing support today as Aimee became a Sister of VdO.  Everyone, please join us in the Ballroom for a party in her honor.”  And the partying - accompanied by the lovely tones of Kris Composer - went on while the Roissy Famille, and our new Sister, danced the day away.
