by Blue Ronsein, Roissy Journaliste
With the howls of a U.S. Halloween approaching, the procession begins. Quietng a gathering of dozens. Gillian Gemini steps up and speaks, "Sister Emma.. Please prepare and bring forward our Graduating Demoiselle Callie, to her place on the cushion near Maitre AKnightz."
Emma Willsoncarefully slips the crimson fabric over Callie's breasts, her eyes never leaving Callie's as she whispers, "You've got this young padawan, just smile and have fun.
F O R S A M O I S H O U S E
Gillian Gemini turns and smiles "Maitre Thomas and Maitre AK, Honored guests, We welcome all to this joyous event for today as we come together to witness the Graduation of this Demoiselle. Soon, demoiselle Callie will join the exclusive ranks of the Roissy Val d'Oise Sisterhood and will continue to serve our Dominants and serve the community as part of the Chateau."
As Pierre Bachelet's "O' She's A Lady" plays mystically in the background, Gillian contrinues, "This is indeed a happy occasion which has brought us here today. I am pleased to announce that although Samois loses a Demoiselle today, Roissy Val d'Oise gains a welcomed Sister. It is with some sadness that we bid farewell to Demoiselle Callie, as she leaves Samois to rejoin the wider Roissy community in the Chateau. Her path will not end, rather it is ever evolving as she continues to serve and grow in her knowledge. As a Sister she will continue to be actively involved taking part within the community as well as serving our Dominants. Our Sisters also are supportive of Samois, as it is our Sisters who are the Mentors to our young and striving Debutantes and Demoiselles. Callie i'm very proud of you today! I know you will be an excellent sister and mentor to others starting their paths here at Roissy. Always keep that grace and dignity that you've carried with you all along your path here. Our VdO submissives are always welcomed at Samois; our home and comfort center, should they need for time to themselves. The Samois Sisters Freyja, Mia, Sadie, Sana or myself will be available should you ever need a shoulder to lean on or just a friendly chat."
"Maitre Thomas, I respectfully invite you to welcome everyone."

Thomas smiles, looking to the crowd, "Loyal Members and Esteemed Guests, we are gathered here today for one of our oldest and most treasured traditions at Roissy Val d'Oise. The Sister graduation."
"Callie's, graduation means quite a lot to her and to all of our family who watched her grow as a result of her training here. Callie leaves samois to serve Roissy, under the guidance of myself and all of the Dominants of the Chateau. he community should always rejoice that a new Sister has joined us.. In this ceremony, you will hear the detail of the events she that planned and did, and also the recommendations based upon how she did in these events, including her final."
"Our path has been sculpted 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. That is what makes this achievement to be so special, our history and the real significance of it for the Roissy VDO familie and for Callie. Please continue, Gil."
"Thank you Maitre Thomas for those kind and encouraging words." She turns to Maitre AK, "Maitre AK, as Calie's final Maitre would you please share with us your recommendation to Callie gaining her Sister tag today."
R E C O M M E N D A T I O N
AKnightz stands up and adjusts my jacket as I gaze at all those making the time to attend such a special event and smiles "Greetings to all the lovely people of the Roissy and their friends "
He fumbles around with my double printed single line notes and moves straight to page 3 of 100
"At the start I would like to thank the House of Samios and Gillian in particular for all her efforts in managing this process in such short notice and the efforts made to round this up in such a professional manner " turns and grins to callie, who smiles up at Maitre AK.
"This lady over here has showed a good amount of patience in trying to arrange her finals and sisterhood graduation and we have talked about this for some time, but like many things RL does intervene and plans do change ".....winks to callie. "however, I was honored when callie confirmed that she wanted me to be the Maitre for her final and I got to know her more in a short period of time to be able to provide her a suitable test of her wills and submission
"I knew she wanted to be pushed and tested but also knew she could explode, like a powder keg".....chuckles and looks at callie with a little laugh...but that did not stop this Maitre from pushing on those buttons and seeing part of that explosion"
"During the finals I have taken callie through four main scenes and talks/discussion, and her final test was made to straight to the core of her fears. Callie reacted well after knowing that no matter what happens, and how harsh her limits might be pushed and where she is left or bound or kept alone, she is still a worthy submissive. She did falter, and she did fall and she did weep but in the end she rose up and now she knows who she is ........a great submissive worthy of respect, honor, and love. Those are her words not mine ".....................smiling at callie
AKnightz finally turns to Thomas, " and I totally agree with her words and endorse her sisterhood "
Gillian rises, “Thank you Maitre AK for your wonderful recommendation of advancement for our Dem Callie. I smiled at your refreshing and positive words in regards to her." and Callie whispers softly as Maitre AK takes his seat, "Thank you Maitre."
Gillian turns to the girl's mentor, "Emma if you would tell us your thoughts and recommendation please."
M E N T O R ‘ S S P E E C H
Emma Willson stands carefully and takes a slow breath before flashing a smile, “Firstly I’d like to offer my personal thanks to every Maître, Master, Sir, Miss, and wonderful submissive of Roissy Val DuOise for being here, your support means the world to every graduate.”
She pauses to smile over at Callie, “You have done so well, and grown so much in your time here, I hope looking back on it will always bring a smile to your lips.” giggles softly before addressing the gathering once more, “Poor Callie was my first mentee, and I am sure I made thousands of mistakes, but it’s a testament to her inner strength that she continued her path, sometimes more alone than she should have been and I am sorry for that, but Callie has a heart of fire, a strength and determination that has carried her through the challenges of her path, and will continue to do so forever.
“There is no doubt that Callie was nervous about her initiation, but as always she rose to the occasion and did a beautiful job, and I’m not just saying that because I took her shopping for gorgeous lingerie.” (crowd giggles, chuckles) she flashes a grin at Callie before continuing, “Callie didn’t rush her log tasks, but again, her commitment shone through, each task tackled beautifully before facing the next, but always finding time for the fun and quiet moments that make our home so special.
“Callie remained independent though every step of her path, knowing her heart and gut would serve her well and it definitely did, it brought her here, to the end of her Demoiselle path, and the start of a whole new adventure.” smiles softly as she thinks back, “Callie's workshop on The Value of Non-sexual D/s was a fascinating look at ways to deepen the D/s in your relationships without it being sexual… There are so many quotable parts, if you missed it I strongly suggest asking if Callie would give it again, but this was my favourite part, ‘Dominance and submission, and the profoundly deep and solid relationships that can stem from them, are so much more than just an opportunity for kinky play and sexual gratification. The intense state of oneness and unflinching trust afforded by a loving and sensual D/s relationship offers a sanctuary from the world and a safe place where we can simply let go, relax for a time, and revel in that which is most important in this life; the infinite possibilities of a bond with another human being.’. I’ve never heard it captured so simply but so beautifully before.”
She gazes out at the group and adds, “Her sister event was a lot of fun, the feathers were truly flying, and now she’s here, on the brink of sisterhood, and I don’t think anyone has been more ready than Callie is.”
She turns back to Callie and offers some advice, “Trust yourself in every step you take and you will be in a wonderful place, you have the intelligence and wisdom to achieve everything you want in this world, and the other, you have got this, whatever your future brings, you will find your way to soar.”
and turns to Maître Thomas, smiles shyly, “Thank you for the opportunity to speak Maître.” she states clearly before settling herself quickly back on to her pillow. Callie brings her hand to her eyes as she feels tears form.
"Thank you Emma for a beautiful speech, I am sure you are very proud of Callie today! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and memories of of her journey here at Rloissy." and Gillian turns to the Welcoming Maitre, “Maitre Thomas, you have heard the recommendations from Demoiselle Callie’s final task with Maitre AK and supported by her mentoring Sister Emma. I respectfully invite you to confer to Demoiselle Callie the title and the ring of our Sisterhood"

He nods affirmatively, leans back in my chair, thinking and reflecting upon the comments and recommendations that were spoken this morning, looks up, my dark eyes focusing on the assembled crowd, smiling and says, "I always feel gratified, and happy.. hearing all the commendations." He leans to my right and nods to Gillian to continue with the proceedings.
Gillian Gemini, receiving permission, smiles to her, "Demoiselle Callie, come forward please and kneel before Maitre Thomas."
Callie stands, brushing down her skirt then steeping forward and taking her place on the cushion as requested.
Thomas looks at the Demoiselle kneeling before him then along the platform, recalling all of their supportive words and also many good memories of past sister ceremonies. Many in the audience I have seen in this spot graduating, Thomas reaches into my pocket searching for the piece of neatly folded and worn linen stationery, where I have taken notes on different occasions along her journey.
( I know which pocket i put it in this time)and looking toward and making eye contact with all the Debutantes and Demoiselles and says, "you see Submissives, I do take notes. Somtimes a lot sometimes a little.
“You see here before you, a submissive that has joined us and has shared her journey with us as a Debutante on September 15th, 2021. She served and was opened by the Dominants of Roissy on October 22nd, 2021, and became known as Demoiselle Callie. She presented her sister workshop, The Value of Non-Sexual D/s on August 2nd, 2022, which was well attended. Her sister event Slumber party on August 27th, 2022, was refreshing and i heard there were a lot of feathers flying around! Her Final task was a test within her limits of her submission based upon her strengths and weaknesses.
"Now today she kneels before us on October 29th, to receive what she had committed herself too, the giving of her submission, today she will have bestowed upon her the ring and title of Sister of Roissy Val d’Oise. 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." He leans forward and takes Demoiselle Callie's hand as I dig deep into my pockets searching for the ring before finding the correct one.
He slips the ring on her hand smiling, "Well done Callie, you will inspire many" She smiles proudly as she feels the ring slipped onto her finger. He smiles and looks over, proudly, "Gillian, give our newest Sister her rightful tag and let’s welcome her into our Sisterhood here at Roissy Val d'Oise"
Obeying Maitre Thomas' instruction. Gillian stands and smiles at our kneeling Demoiselle Callie. Looks towards our assembled members and guests drawing their attention.
[2022/10/29 10:37] Gillian Gemini: "To become a Sister of Roissy Val d’ Oise a submissive has to have many qualities, some are as follows..." and Gillian relates the list in a loving tone...ending with "Congratulations Sister Callie and welcome to our Honored Roissy Val d'Oise Sisterhood ."
The audience bursts with congratulations and loud applause.
Gillian smiles warmly, "Sister Callie please stand and deliver your speech."
S I S T E R ' S S P E E C H
Callie feels her cheeks flush as she hears the cheers and clapping. She stands up and turns around the middle of the stage, then looks out over the gathered crowd before looking down nervously at her hands.
"As the self-proclaimed Roissy wallflower, I am more used to being the observer... not so much the observed. I do not seek the spotlight and often shrink away from compliments. I thrive in smaller setting, with fewer people, and keep to myself in larger crowds. For these reasons, you will find my words to be much shorter than those before me, not just today, but of those who have graduated." She takes a deep, calming breath. "With that said, here goes."
"One year. 365 days. 8,760 hours. 525,600 minutes. 31,536,000 seconds. A lot can happen in that amount of time. It certainly has for me. When I arrived at Roissy one year ago, I came with one goal in mind… genuine training. I was unowned and happy as such. I have never been collared, nor was I looking to be. I had experienced my fair share of pain and disappointment at the hands of various Dominants throughout the years, from abandonment and ghosting to outright dismissal said to be ‘for my own good’ and I wanted something different. The submissive path at Roissy seemed to be just that. Prior to Roissy, I had learned about D/s and BDSM through readings, lessons, and various other teachings… All book knowledge. But on the path, I would have the opportunity to learn through practical BDSM experiences. Some of these experiences brought me great joy while others pushed my limits and left me in tears; all were needed for my growth as a submissive. For this, I would like to thank Maitre Rene for his vision, for his leadership, and for providing this wonderful space for our community. I would also like to thank Maitre Thomas, Gillian, the Samois Sisters, and Admin for their work behind the scenes as well as all who serve selflessly to administer the programs here, provide entertainment, and assist in creating, decorating, and executing the various events."
She turns to Maitre AK with a sheepish smile. "Maitre AK, my Final’s Maitre, I was warned about you. I was told that you were tough. And they were right. The Final was much more difficult and emotional than I was expecting. Through the highs and the lows, the laughter and the tears, I learned a valuable lesson - I am worthy, not to others but to myself first and foremost. Thank you for your guidance, your wisdom, and your patience."
She turns to the beautiful Emma, smiling brightly, as the tears fill her eyes again. Emma throws more tissues at Callie, who picks up the tissues, and nods, as she presses some up to her eyes."Emma, you have been my mentor, my IT support, and my Yoda. You came to my rescue and filled in as the DJ at my Sister event and then again today when I was surely falling apart. You were always there whenever I had a question and were surprisingly quick with your responses - I really don’t know how you do it all! Thank you for giving me the freedom to make my own mistakes while knowing that I could always reach out when I needed to.
Callie turns back forward and scans the crowd, until her eyes meet Master Jo’s. She smiles softly as she holds his look. "Master Jo, there aren’t enough words in the English language to express what you mean to me. Even if we added the Australian words, there still wouldn’t be enough. That might be why I have always spoken to you through song. Music is a universal language and songs are windows to the soul, so sharing music is like sharing a part of yourself. With the help of music, I will simply say, “How did you find me? You came out of nowhere like lightning. It's kind of amazing how you found me, through all the noise somehow. Oh, and how did you see me? You broke through the darkness and you reached me. It's kind of amazing how you found me, through all the strangers somehow.” Thank you for seeing me."
He mouths "Thank you for seeing me too."
Looking back over the crowd, she smiles. "Finally, I would like to thank all of my Roissy and non-Roissy friends. Thank you all for being here. I am honored and humbled by your support, not just today but every day. I would thank you each individually, but during the ceremony set up, I noticed one of those stage hooks under Maitre Thomas’ chair and I am pretty certain he isn’t afraid to use it."
"He's not" remarks Sadie, and Gillian steps forward, "Thank you Callie for a wonderful speech, congratulations, this is a title you have worked long and hard for! Please return to your cushion near Matire AK."
T O A S T & D I S M i S S A L
Thomas walks to the little table with the chilling Champagne. Examines the bottle, "Hmmm the Veuve Clicquot, La Grande Dame, Brut 1957, famous for its elegant, rich and complex. Beautiful mature aromas such as dried fruits, praline, quince paste and truffle" He pops the cork and watches the bubbly erupt and little land on the carpet. "Well done Callie! "
He raises his glass and speaks, "Come everyone and raise your glass with me in congratulating and welcoming Callie into the sisterhood here at Roissy Val d'Oise. "
At this point, everyone raises glasses and toasts, with much exuberation, the graduating Sister.
Thomas dismisses all and invites the gathered crowd to the ballroom for a celebration. With that, Jo takes her arm, "Come on Angel, let's go dancing"
