It was a blustery winter afternoon.  A double rainbow danced over the water not far from where friends and family of the graduate gathered. 

Demoiselle Aysel, led by her mentor Blue, arrived to a hush from the audience.   The fabric covering Aysel's breasts was removed with a bit of blush applied as O was prepared in the story the basis for role play in this community.   Xanadu greeted and expressed pride for another young lady to achieve this status.   Xanadu thanked the mentors for their efforts in support of our submissive girls.

Thomas rose from his seat "Loyal Members and Guests,  we are gathered here today for one of our oldest and most treasured traditions at Roissy Val d'Oise."  He continuted

The sister graduation is the cumulation of persistent and hard work with many tasks both fun and arduous.  Aysel leaves samois to serve Roissy, under the guidance of  myself and all of the Dominants of the chateau.  Our sisters have earned the right to be proud of their accomplishments here. They have also earned the right to help our sim in additional ways now that they have completed the journey to VDO Sister.

Our path has been refined by many years of lessons learned to make it the successful learning path we know today. Our sisters are from the best school in this world of submissive training. Which is something we all can be proud of, and I know that Rene and I are proud of our traditions and each one of you.

Representing the House of Samois Venna greeted everyone and reminded us how arduous the journey can be and how Aysel reached her goals in training with a quiet dignity.   Venna continued encouraging us to have fun, be respectful, be tolerant  and to use common sense, the pillars of Roissy Val d'Oise.

Chicagosax offered the Maitre recommendation as Maitre Chip could not be present. 

"Hello people. I am the lucky man who got to spend two days with that spectacular girl over there *points to Aysel* doing her final scene."

Still looking at her, eyes twinkling, “Truthfully, I thought her limit card was kinda vanilla at first. But.. as we got to talking and getting to know each other, I realized she was far more willing to try things than I imagined.

"The more we talked, the more I was inspired. She has her charisma inside her. She’s introspective — and quiet in a way — but once you pull her out, you find all kinds of fascinating things.

"Once the scene evolved, and she agreed to be surprised, I worked out a scene idea that involved a couple of days, starting in the Chateau and winding up in the dungeon.

"To push her exhibitionist fantasy, I invited five or six guests to a dinner party in the Chateau.... where I had chained Aysel, spread-eagle and totally naked, on a white tablecloth dinner table -- and trust me, she made a beautiful serving platter."

Maitre looked out into the audience, "Chicago, Sana, James, Rosa, Taylor, Opie, Mav.... did you all enjoy the sushi dinner?

"We went on after that with, as I whispered in her ear up front, “into worlds you don't want to go but secretly crave.”I pushed her into an unusual (and scary) water dunking segment

"This lovely girl has a special willingness to serve and to submit, and she will be a welcome asset to our distinguished family of sisters."

M E N T O R ‘ S   S P E E C H  

Blue looks over at Aysel and just smiles, shaking my head in awe. “This girl was a mentor’s dream.”

"First of all, she’s had years of experience in both lives serving. In SL, she was a prized Gorean slave, emoting and living the life with a Gorean Jarl— not easy.

"She is well organized and task-orient. A planner. How else could she create a massive, gorgeous, and intricate Sister Event like “The Pirate’s Keep” — with Cap'n Grabbyhands Sam and all the  amazing pirates, wenches, gypsies, and that mysterious mermaid (Cali) whom she revealed at the end!

"Even her Jarl in Got said, as she told me in our start-up talk “I am very task oriented.....why, my old Jarl loved me in gor. If He’d give me a task, He knew it would get done.” I think she told me that to keep me from being a “helicopter mom” type of mentor. The truth is, as I discovered from attempting to help her, she’s very independent and smart enough to handle almost anything.

“Which is why I call her a mentor’s dream girl.” (Pauses) “She is human, however, and she vented some steam now and then, just because mentors can be helpful listeners.. But aside from the usual girl talk, Aysel was pretty self sufficient all along her path.

"The few challenges she did face on her journey to Sisterhood, she overcame herself. I offered to intervene, but while Aysel is by nature a quiet, reserved person, she managed to face up to some “people” issues herself with grace and charm. Maybe that's because Aysel happens to have, in RL, three degrees in psychology, one in sociology, and was close to certification as a sex therapist.  Maybe she should have been MY mentor, lol.

"As she told me in one of our talks, 'I look at things like, you can either find the good in a situation and try to rise above negativity or be dragged down.' That is something we all should aspire to here —in both SL and RL.

"Aysel is an unusual, special person in this community. Quiet, analytical, beautiful, sexy in her own way, and as we saw in her event, highly creative.

"I am proud to be her friend. Thank you, my 'dream mentee.'"

Thomas appeared thoughtful as he reclined in is chair.   "I am always encouraged by all the commendations," indicates to Xanadu his own confirmation to continue with the proceedings with a nod.  Xanadu instructed Aysel to kneel before Maitre Thomas. 

He reached into his suit pocket searching for the piece of neatly folded but worn linen stationary, where he  took notes on different occasions along her journey.

Thomas spoke to those gathered,  "You see Submissives, I do take notes, your deeds will never forgotten."

“You see here before you .... a submissive woman,  one that has honored her path. She was accepted into the House of Samois  on  December 6, 2019 as Debutante Aysel."

"She then progressed and moved on to the time of her Initiation on January  25th , where she served and was opened by Dominants of Chateau Roissy Val D’ Oise and became known as Demoiselle Aysel."

"Her journey continued as she traveled along wanting to learn and absorb. On August  14th  she presented an awesome workshop titled "Sensuality vs. Sexuality" She continued next with her well planned "The Pirates Keep" for her Sister Event  presented on August 30th."

"Her Final task was a test of her Submission based upon her strengths and weaknesses. The Adjointe de Samois Xanadu then received a notice from Chip of his favorable recommendation and that all was completed verifying  she was worthy of Sisterhood."

"Now today she kneels before us on Saturday December 12th, to receive what she had committed herself too, the giving of her submission, today she will have bestowed upon her the VDO sister ring and title of  Sister.

"I always manage to observe each girl going through the path, and I will add this about aysel, is that she tries very much to avoid entanglements and drama. We should heed this example."

He leans further and takes Demoiselle Aysel's hand as he finds the appropriate ring. Then inspects it closely seeing the gleaming golden ring sparkle and places it onto Demoiselle Aysel's  finger crouching forward more as he speaks softly to her, “Congratulations Aysel you will inspire many.”

Hello and thank you all for coming today, it is humbling to see so many smiles and I feel the love and support that you all have given me on my long winding path to Sisterhood.. It has had its ups and downs, and no matter what I was determined, rose to the occasion and continued on my path.

There are a few people who I would like to thank and I will try to keep it short *smiles.

First of all, I would like to thank you Maitre Chip for being the person that put me through my paces during my final. I truly do appreciate it. You showed me how much I have grown, made me feel comfortable in my own skin and the scene. You put all my fears to rest.  Took the time to allow me to get to know you before my final began. Not that many would have taken the time to allow a submissive to get to know them before jumping into a scene. I can not thank you enough for that.

Maitre Chip pushed me and made me feel my submission and allowed me to reveal in it. Thank you Maitre, for allowing me the privilege of asking you to do my final. I was truly honored.

I would also like to thank Sir Jon and Sombre, for bringing me here to Roissy just over a year ago when I was lost in the world. You both gave me a place to call home, shoulders to lean on and yes sometimes cry on,. You both also kept me grounded when I felt lost,  also were always there when I needed you the most. You have both been protective and where there in my time of need when I felt at my lowest.  You picked me up, dusted me off and were in my corner when I was verbally beat down. I will never ever forget that. You both have known me for the longest, seen the good bad and well the side of me that most do not see. I will forever love you both and proud to call you family.

Thank you Master Johan, Master Sam, Sir Jon, Sir Velniar, Maitre Chicago, Sir Mutt and Sir Opie for always being there for me and guiding me on this long winding path. You all have played a part in my growth in my submission. You all have allowed me the space to stretch my wing,, flex my muscles and be myself...within reason. You all have also been quick to yank on that leash and remind me of my place when needed. You have been shoulders to lean on, firm hands of guidance as well as been some of my biggest rowdy manly male cheerleaders rooting me on my path. Thank you all, I am forever in your debt.

Now, to my fellow submissives. Sombre, Mia, and Cali. My partners in crime, the girls I can always count on to help keep me on the straight and narrow. I do love you girls and proud to call you family. You three have seen me at my best and worst, listened to me go grrr and didn't go running to the first person and tell them all my business. Love you all! Ny, Q, Pris, Tempest, and all lovely ladies I have had the pleasure in getting to know in the past year. Thank you for honoring me with your friendship, guidance and even the silly gab sessions in the past year. You have all made this year fun and interesting.

I would also like to thank those who have not made my path an easy one. Thank you for showing me what a submissive should and should not be. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to rise above and not allow myself to be dragged down. You have shown me that I am much stronger then I ever thought I was. For that, I do thank you.

I would also like to thank my mentor, Blue. Thank you for being my mentor for the past year. I have grown in the past year and now know what I am capable of.

I would also like to thank the Admin team of Roissy Val d'Oise. Thank you for giving us all a place to live, and learn about our lifestyle. It is a wonderful melting pot of different culture, different levels of experiences and a wonderful place to meet new people and find ones self.

I would also like to thank Maitre Rene for giving us a place to learn and live. Without his vision, Roissy Val d'Oise would not be what it is today. Thank you Maitre Rene. *smiles*

I would like to just say a few things to the new members who have just recently started your path and those who have been here for years....reached the highest levels. Please never ever loose sight of yourself. Always be you. Do not fall victim in allowing someone to change you, or being pressured into changing who you are to please someone. Changing to please someone else will ALWAYS end in disaster and misery for one or both parties. Be honest with yourself. Take the time to learn your own wants and needs. Do not allow others to put their words into your mouth. If you allow this, in the end, you will be miserable. You will feel like you can not get out of a whole that someone else has dug for you. Do not fall for the flowery words that someone speaks. Their actions speak much louder then words and what you should be believed. Be mindful of your own actions and the words you say because in the end, that is what people will judge you on. Always remember you only get one time to make a first impression, once its gone its gone and that memory will always be the first that comes to someones mind about you.

In closing, I would like to once again say Thank you to you all. Without you, I would  not be here today and graduating as a sister.

Xanadu spoke from her heart to Aysel and the VdO greater community.  "Our Sister Aysel has proven to be  very dedicated to Roissy  .. as many of you have noticed .. she makes time daily to be at the Chateau ready to serve our Dominants  and assist  others as needed.'

 'Aysel's  participation and activities in the community has shown that  whether be[ng  a photographer ..  dancer or hostessing at our  events ..  she is one that we can depend  upon and has been steady  consistent and will be  a fine example of a  Sister."

"The paths to Sisterhood or to becoming a Master or Maitre are done with the thoughts not only for ourselves but for the others in our community.  Our paths are structured to be done in service to the community while we progress and grow."

" Many come to VdO both previously with experience and many without  experience or just simply wanting to be educated further in the lifestyle practicesand to learn safely while  interacting with others."

"Sister Aysel has continued  to show her submissiveness in  all that she does ..  not only from my  reading of her log but also from Maitre Chip's positive recommendation and  her mentor Blue's words."

"The Finals we participate in are inclusive of the teachings we receive here at Roissy ..  allowing us to realize our growth since joining and beginning our respective paths."

"They may seem at times a bit hard.. but in the end it allows  your core submission to  blossom even more then when you  start your path here ."

"An existential part of becoming a Sister is the time spent actively in our community  .. and to work for the betterment .  At times our real life restricts our intentions here .. but with commitment  it can be over come."

"We are fortunate to have this amazing community .. Maitre Rene has offered this to us to safely  learn the ins and outs of BDSM and all he asks in return is for your presence here and to do your part to keep it growing  and flourishing."

"Working for our community is done earnestly and without special recognition or rewards.  Having the desire to help others grow .. while continually serving in whatever way we can ..  this is the reward we offer to Maitre Rene ..  our commitment."

Xanadu looks to those in the audience ..  "I remind yall that our Mentoring Dominants and Sisters presence here in the community is needed  .. as they  spend  time with their mentees."

"Our Mentors provide a positive example ..   while  gently assisting through  guidance and support ..  as well as helping others  when asked."

"I was present at Aysel's  "Sensuality vs. Sexuality" Workshop.  For those of yall who attended her workshop  you had an opportunity to learn more about her...  and for those who didnt .. maybe you  should attend her next presentation" smiles  over to her.

Xanadu continued  ..  "I also attended  her "The Pirates Keep" Sister Event ..  where  several roleplayed  as pirates  and wenches ...  needless to say both were enjoyed..  grins i  dont miss much."

"Once graduated .. Sisters continue to assist others in our community on their paths .. as well as the usual touring hosting and presentation of various workshops.  For this ..  I sincerely thank yall ..  Your continued support to the House of Samois in the variety of things you do is indeed needed."

"First and primarily to our Dominants ..  "Please continue to show  your commitment  dedication and support as you proudly wear your title with pride and honor."

 "Please assist as you can and uphold your responsibilities to our community.  Whether it be touring or simply providing information to others about VdO .. above all .. be physically supportive ."

Xanadu faced Maitre Thomas,  "Maitre Thomas ..  One again ..  Through you to Maitre Rene .. We thank you for your generosity and the gift given us daily .. this  wonderful community .. where we are free to learn and discover our inner selves safely."

"To our Submissives ..   We personally thank each of you for your continual 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 I am here for you .. but  above all .. yall are very important to the success of  VdO.

"Please think about  what you would like to do in our community to help make Roissy even better .. both our graduated Dominants and Submissives are needed .   Speak to either Maitre Rene  Maitre Thomas or myself.  Please know .. Yall .. are what makes Roissy work."

"In closing remember to hold high the principals of Roissy ValD'Oise ..  that Maitre Rene has provided .   We have the Best  of the Best here.  The positive support we offer to each other ..  only insures to reinforce our strength and continued growth ... proving once again " We are Family"

"Maitre Thomas, that concludes the graduation ceremony.  The House of Samois is proud to see another of its Demoiselles taking her place in the wider Roissy  community. I respectfully invite you to please close the proceedings witnessed by those present today"

T O A S T  &  D I S M i S S A L

"With the many new approaches to a good start, let us each work together and share ideas. Let us grow as a community as we seek to move forward. My door is always open if you wish to share ideas or just need to talk.

"I wish to thank everyone for sharing in your time and showing support today as Aysel became a Sister of VdO. The closer we bond the stronger we become. No matter what obstacles or challenges we face, if we face them together, we have the strength to succeed."
