Di Anne Sister Graduation
February 15, 2016
Stopping before his chair, Rene turns and smiles out at the assembly.
"Bonjour! I’m very happy seeing you again after a wonderful Valentine's Day Wedding and reception." He smiles broadly, turns and takes his seat. Then he glances at Gillian, smiles and with a wave of his hand, says, "Gillian, please let the graduation begin."
Gillian stood. "Maitre Rene, Honored guests, welcome all to this joyous event, for today we come together to witness the Graduation of Demoiselle Di , 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 and joins the ranks of Sisters. Her path does not end here it is ever evolving. As a sister she will continue to be active within Samois, serve as mentor and guide to the Demoiselles and Debutantes." She smiles warmly at Di .. "Maitre Taylor would you please welcome E/everyone" ..smiles at Matire Taylor, who stands and pulls his undies out of his butt crack.
"Maître Rene," begins Maitre Taylor. "Honored guests; welcome all to this joyous event; for today we come together to witness the Graduation of Demoiselle Di, 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. 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 will be Mentors and older sisters to the young and striving Debutantes and Demoiselles. Sisters will always be welcomed at Samois, it is there home and comfort center, if they should ever feel the need. I as well will be available if you ever need a shoulder to lean on or just a friendly chat. It is always wonderful to see so many of you coming out to support our Demoiselles who have completed their paths and are leaving Samois to follow another path within our VdO family.
"The paths our submissives take may not always be smooth sailing and and I am sure they often ask themselves why they are here and why they stay, but, ultimately, as one submissive so eloquently stated, "it is to answer the need they all feel deep inside, the desire to serve and to fulfill their yearning to be of use to the Dominants in their fullest capacity" that keeps them on course.
"Today we look to Di who stood the test of time, worked hard and made us all very proud by finishing that path and graduating. We wish her well on her new role and hope that she will follow others who trod the same path to become members of the Roissy Val d'Oise sisterhood - a group of exceptional ladies who persevered and became not only better submissives but also achieved their own personal goals.
"Samois will always welcome any sub whether it be for help, inspiration, express concerns to, or just talk. Our submissives are the best in sl and we are proud of each and every one of them. Once again thank you all for your continued support." He turns and sits.
" Thank you Maitre Taylor for those kind and insightful words, said Gillian, standing. She turns and smiles at Sana.."Sana could you please welcome everyone of behalf of the House of Samois"
Sana raises from her cushion, “Thank you Gillian” her eyes bright as they move along the stage... She lowers her eyes respectfully then turns and stands proudly to face those gathered. " Maitre Rene, Maitre Taylor, distinguished friends, family and guests. I am honored to represent the House of Samois and welcome you to share in celebrating Demoiselle Di Anne achieving the status of Sister.
"Di Anne joined Roissy Val d'Oise to begin her exploration of self, to find truth and gain knowledge of the pangs she felt deep within, her desire to serve. Di Anne placed her trust in Maitre Rene, the Dominants, and submissive girls to help support her along this journey. As Di Anne blossomed from Debutante to Demoiselle she always presented herself with a zest for adventure. At the landing, Chateau or Cafe, Di Anne always greeted with joy and willingness to serve.... and always in colorful attire! Preparing for her Sister event, the adventure continued. I had always wanted to be in an auction, but never found the nerve! In the safety of our community Di Anne's auction was a success!
"The submissive path is not one to be rushed, taking the time to understand the depths of our service, to embrace the many challenges. Finding value and growth through service and discipline, to be proud, yet humble individuals. It does indeed take a village; I wish to thank everyone here for supporting Di Anne and Roissy Val d’Oise. I am so tickled to be here and truly so proud of you Di Anne."
Di Anne smiles at Sana and mouths "thank you." Sana smiles happily to Di Anne before returning to her cushion.
Again, Gillian stood. "Thank you Sana for that wonderfully warm welcome. Maitre Hadaway would you please share your recommendation with us."
Hadaway Broadway: Thank you Gillian ...Stands and looks around the assembly, my eyes narrowing as I slowly scan the debutants and demoiselles before finally alighting with a smile on demoiselle Di Anne.
?? ?ηη? Ç?α?ρ?oη smiles up at Maitre Hadaway.
Maitre Hadaway stood. "The path to Sisterhood is a long and hard road fraught with challenges and pitfalls, I'm sure all the submissives here today will readily agree especially the Sisters who have completed that part of their journeys. This final test was difficult and a real test of Di Anne’s character and submission. She was tested so that I could determine in my mind her worthiness of sisterhood.
"I am pleased to say that she came through the exercise with dignity and good grace and that the submission in her heart is true. She realises her place and I know she will serve any Master here to her fullest ability, several already know how well she can do this." He looks down to Di Anne. "I am proud of what this young lady and I achieved during her final assignment with me. This was split into several sessions during which time her limits were pushed, new experiences were tried and I am pleased to say Di Anne coped admirably with all of these .
"During 1 session I co opted the assistance of another Dom, Dianne again was pushed and tested perhaps even further than she should have been but once more she took this within her stride and I was very proud of her ability to remain calm and focused under severe provocation. It gave me great pleasure to report that Di Anne never faltered; I knew of her uncertainty but she put her trust in me completely and never once questioned or hesitated to obey.
"I fully believe that Di Anne is worthy of the title of Sister and will be a fine addition to the Sisterhood of the Chateau." Looks over to Maitre Rene and the assembled Admin.
"Thank you so very much Maitre Hadaway," said Di Anne and smiles sweetly up to him.
He turns to Maitre Rene, Maitre Taylor and you Gillian to offer my recommendation that Dianne be promoted to the select band of Sisters we have here. I do not make that recommendation lightly. I have known her for some time now, much longer than just for the final task which we completed together and know the way in which she has set about all of her tasks from debutante to now. She has taken on any and all tasks assigned to her and completed them with exemplary dedication. Not only has she developed her skills at serving to a high standard, but she has shown a great aptitude and foresight in determining a Masters needs."
Maitre Hadaway turns again to Di Anne; she smiles back.
"It has been a great pleasure helping and mentoring you on your path to this point. I am extremely proud of you. and always remember I am recommending you and expect that you will honour my name by continuing to serve in your exemplary manor." He turns to the members on the dias..." I present to you Demoiselle Dl Ane with my recommendation for her to have this Demoiselle title removed and pass to sisterhood changing her title to Sister which I know she will wear proudly ." Returns to his seat.
"Thank you Maitre Hadaway for that wonderful recomendation" says Gillian, who smiles at him warmly and winks at Di.
"Thank you for your guidance and support Maitre Hadaway," says Di Anne.
Gillian turns to Sister Xan "Xan please share with us your recommendation as Di's mentor"...smiles warmly at Xan, who responded "Thank you Gi," while standing and moving slightly forward. She turns and smiles .. " Maitre Rene .. Honored Members on the stage, Maitres, Masters, Sirs and Ladies .. as Di's Mentoring Sister it is my pleasure to speak on her behalf. Seeing Di kneeling in submission on her cushion .. smiles and proudly says... i can honestly and positively say .. knowing Di .. that although she has a million butterflies alive and flying in her tummy .. is very pleased to see your presence and support by being here at her graduation.
As many of us here can confirm.. we all have faced intricate difficulties or situations within our Dominate or submissive paths .. but in the end and with proper support we have obtained our goal. Di is my first Mentee and also my first mentee to reach her Graduation to become a Roissy Val D' Oise Sister .. smiles proudly in her direction. We were at the landing when we first met .. thinking back to then .. almost a year ago.. i remember we spoke and at that time she was on the verge of leaving us.
"I saw in her a shy but determined woman who truly wanted to learn and be a part of this community. It was then and even more so now .. quote pleased she agreed to stay with us. From that point on we merged together as friends, with the approval and permission of Maitre Rene i became her Mentor . I watched her grow in her submission as she ventured through her path .. while continuing to learn from each other as she approached each and every milestone. I will add this .. no matter what was tossed in her path to hinder her .. she just moved slowly forward to the lovely submissive you see before us today .
"Di worked diligently on her path going from Debutante to her initiation becoming a Demoiselle. During her tasks she had her highs and lows as we all do but .. has again showed her determined character ... which successfully brought her this part of her path. In my opinion Di excelled even further while doing her finals .. which we discussed afterwards .. making me even more aware of her continued growth. It is very evident Di has what it takes to be an intricate part of our community.
" Di presented one of .. if not the best Sister Events .. which benefited the sim to the fascinating total of 100k, from her Date Auction .. Di's event was supported by many and several were involved in various ways as they assisted her working as a team both in knowledge and support .."
"Yall can not imagine how honored i am at this moment to recommend Di to Maitre Rene .. the Honored Members on the stage and those present in the audience.. to become a Graduated .. Roissy Val D'Oise Sister and to continue with her commitment to our community."
"Maitre Rene," said Gillian. "You have heard the recommendations of Maître Hadaway and the warm support given to that recommendation of her mentorong sister Xan . May I invite you now, to confer on Demoiselle Di the title and the ring of Sisterhood?"
Rene straightens in his chair, as his hand smooths down the front of his vest. There is a new twinkle in his eye… a fresh smile on his lips… a happy glow on his face. He nods, and looks toward the Demoiselle kneeling on a cushion to his right, noticing how respectfully she bows her head and thinking on the recommendations he has heard on her behalf.
"The words spoken on your behalf, Demoiselle Di Anne, indicate that you are worthy of being received into the Sisterhood. But I am not surprised in the least." He smiles warmly at her then looks at Gillian. "Please continue with the proceedings."
Di Anne smiles at Maitre Rene with pride.
Gillian smiles up at Maitre Rene , "yes Maitre Rene with pleasure"...smiles and looks at Di. "Demoiselle Di , come forward please and kneel before Maitre Rene"
Rene looks at Demoiselle Di Anne kneeling before him as he pats his pockets, looking for his well-known weathered leather journal. He looks up over her head and laughs.
"I must be getting forgetful.... I can't remember which pocket I last put my journal in." His hand stops patting as a smile spreads across his lips, as chuckles raise from the audience. "Well, well..." As he pulls it free, he stands and flips to a marked page and reads a moment in silence.
He glances up and smiles. "Sister Graduations hold a special place in my heart because it really is a day of celebrating one of our famille who has worked hard to overcome all challenges and weaknesses while deepening into the authenticity of the Demoiselle's submission."
Rene looks upon Di Anne. "We gather together for your happy celebration of a Sisterhood, to honor your achievements Demoiselle Di Anne, what a wonderful day!"
He smiles and slips his hand under her chin and gently tilts her head back so he can look in her eyes.
"Bonjour Demoiselle Di Anne. You have developed into a lovely submissive worthy of the Roissy Val d'Oise Sisterhood. You have willingly shown your loyalty to our Famille and community by respecting our tradition, obeying our rules, and sharing your warmth and lovely personality with all of us ."
Removing his hand, Rene looks up at the audience.
"Let's review her journey
"Di Anne was accepted into the House of Samois as a Debutante, on January 27, 2015. Her Demoiselle Initiation was on June 13, 2015, when she was opened and became fully active in service to our Dominants.
"On August 30, 2015, Demoiselle Di Anne presented a very intriquing Sister Workshop entitled: “WHY DO YOU SPANK ME MASTER?” showing her deep understanding of our lifestyle.
"Her Sister Event — Date Auction at Roissy Val d'Oise — was a week long event, in which many members of our famille participated and made bids on those participating.
"100,000L was raised and donated to our sim!
"100,000L!"
Rain Awesome
Dusty Caldera: Amazing..
Xanadu smiles to her Sister
Venna Amazing
René agree
Gillian grins ..wow
Di Anne's heart pounds with pride, "but it took a village to do it."
Maitre Rene continues, "Wow! What a wonderful surprise that was! I wish not only to thank Di Anne for her orchestration of this event, whom without it would not have happened, but I also wish to say thanks to those who participated by winning a bid:
"Nol, Garrett, Brenton, Annie, J.C., Mykal, Len, Rain, Fae, Susan, Marcus, Carey, Jacco, JB, Sweet, Cristal, Ambri, Taylor, Steven, Hadaway, and Sadie ."
Rene smiles, looking around the audience for each of them.
Rain (rainbow47.swansong): waves
Annie Chocolate (annie.weirman): smiles
Sadie (sadiejonessmith) grins
He continues, "Demoiselle Di Anne’s Sister Final was given to her based on her strengths and weaknesses by Hadaway whose recommendation held absolutely no reservation over her submissive abilities.
"Today Demoiselle Di Anne is awarded the prestigious Roissy Val d'Oise ring and title of Sister with pleasure." Rene looks upon her and smiles warmly.
"Di Anne, please hold out your hand."
She raises her hand with joy.
Rene reaches inside his vest pocket and pulls out the shiny gold Sister ring and holds it before Di Anne’s eyes and as he sees it’s reflection glistening in her pretty eyes. he reaches for her hand and slides the shiny gold ring into place on her finger.
He smiles as he holds her hand between his own, looking into her eyes he says softly, "Sister Di Anne, my wish is that you will continue to shine your light in our community . I wish for you to continue forward onto the next path of O Aspirant to grow and learn , to be a reminder to our girls of the the gentleness within a submissive’s nature and her unique and special qualities of service
"May your joyful nature embrace and help nurture our Dominants on their paths
"May your bright smile help to mentor Demoiselles to their time of achievements
"May you support all our famille as you stand firmly within our community as a core member."
Letting go her hand, René smiles again, and turns to Gillian, saying, "Please give our newest Sister her rightful tag and let’s welcome her into our Roissy Val d'Oise Sisterhood."
Feeling proud, he sits down and settles back, wearing a large smile.
It is then Gillian gives Di Anne the title of Sister, and then invites her to speak.
Di Anne looks around at my friends and family here in the VdO Gardens and tears well up in my eyes and a lump swells in my throat. I swallow to recover.
"Thank you to those of you who have helped me in this journey starting way back when I first found Second Life around 6 years ago. To begin with I would like to mention four non-members of VdO, but influential in my journey here, specifically Master Jay May, Master Mike, Master WW and Sassy Snoodle my SL Sister.......... looks for each them and smiles with love, adoration and gratitude. I would like everyone to know of three very important people in my SL life and actually who have influenced my real life as well. I thank each one of you for your love and continued support. Having made it this far in my journey here at Vdo has made me very proud. There were times I wanted to quit and felt alone and sometimes neglected at times, but there is someone here who kept me going. She held my hand and would check on me everyday and gave me the strength to keep going and moving forward. She always made me see the silver lining and the importance of finding my inner self which has allowed me to grow and be as you see me today, and has been here for me even in real life. I will say her name in a few moments.
"I am sure others present have also tried other sims and found like i did, they did not have what was needed. Here at Vdo we are like a supportive family with a structured educational system in place. For me I learned the skills and knowledge to grow in my submission and to conquer my fears and soar every day to new heights and new limits. I thought that I would never achieve this coveted title of Sister of Roissy Val D'Oise and join the other Sisters here. Our Sisters work very hard to help the new submissives while they continue to work on their on their journeys.
"Achieving this title is not easy, but anything worthwhile is not easy. This is not the end of my journey but the beginning of a new phase of my submission. I look forward to helping other submissives achieve their goals here at VdO and help to keep our home alive and well. A few weeks ago I was ready to take my finals and was asked who I would like to assist me with this task. To be honest, I did not know any of the Maitre's intimately so it was a difficult task for me to chose one. I have known Maitre Hadaway longer than any of the others, so I asked him and without hesitation he said he would. We met and discussed how we would proceed and planned to meet and work on what we discussed. We had some issues but we finally completed the tasks together. Maitre Hadaway worked on the limits that I was fearful of mainly public humiliation. Sir DASH was asked to assist and trust me, I was put through humiliation like I have never experienced in my life before, almost to the point of calling a RED on him.
"I was humbled when Maitre Hadaway expressed that he was proud of me as that I showed I could still serve under duress and in a stressful situation. I would like to thank all that were in the Chateau that night and who witnessed and took part in my Finals scene. I wish to express my gratitude to Maitre Hadaway and Sir Dash for pushing my limits beyond what I ever thought I could endure. Thank you Maitre Hadaway from the bottom of my heart for serving as my Maitre in my finals .
"I would like to thank Xanadu Xue. You may have heard me call her "Xana my angel". I gave her this name because I was contemplating quiting and she came out of clouds and asked me how I was, just like an angel. I told her that I was very disillusioned and thinking about quitting. I should have made this speech a lot shorter only a little more to go promise. We spoke at length then she said "Let me ask and see if I can be your mentor" and they must have said yes because she did and has been for about 11 months now guiding me to this wonderful day. It is because of her stern but loving hand that I am graduating today. I love you Xana my angel!!!
"When it came time for me to have my Sister event I had no idea what I could do. Every theme seemed to have been done before. I thought and thought and thought. Finally, I remembered a date auction fund raiser, i was involved in previously.
"Miatre Kurt don't make me laugh thisis serious ...... Having no computer programming skills, I set out to figure out how i could accomplish this. Maitre Rain and I discussed my idea then he suggested Trot could possibly assist me . Well because of them the idea blossomed into reality.
"Well that was interest ing see why I call Xana myangel thisis what she puts up with .... At this time i wish to thank Maitre Rain and Trot from the bottom of my heart, as they worked tirelessly setting up the board, adding the names, keeping track of the board so no outsiders took part, handling the money. This Event was no small task and was a long 4 weeks worth of work,beginning from the first idea to the end of the auction. I just took all the credit like a CEO of a company, I must say that this event was accomplished and successful because of all the Members here at Vdo taking this far beyond any of our expectations.
"At this time i have a presentation to make, with your permission Maitre Rene .. "
Maitre René smiles and looks at her
"Please allow me to formally present, on behalf of your family the proceeds from my Sister Auction Event in the amount of 100K, that was earnestly donated by your whole family, showing you how much we love and appreciate you ..
Maitre René receives the check from Di Anne and smiles to her and everyone. "Thank You all so much for this donation."
Di Anne continues, "A Special Thank you to Master Nol, who was gracious enough to top off the auction making it reach the grand total mentioned in the presentation. Who Knows? He may STILL be taking the subs out to finish the dates."
Nol: oh, I forgot! let me list them ... Di was on the list! yeah!
"I also would like to mention and thank Gillian for her watch over the rules for the auction, Lisbeth now Sana for the textures she created and set around the sim and Sadie for on a moments notice Dj'd for my Hawaiian party to end the auction was tabulated.
"In closing, I want to thank you Maitre Rene for your generosity not only to me but to all of the community. Thank you for the opportunities given to us to learn from the many classes and workshops offered here in a safe beautiful sim, that we can enjoy with like minded people. I am pleased to offer any assistance that I can helping Roissy Val d'Oise to continue its prosperity.
"Gosh this speech was worse that for the Oscars Sorry but I haed a lot to say so thankyou for your patience.
turning then to Maitre Rene, who stands, smiles at Gillian and taking a champagne flute, moves before Di Anne
"Sister Di Anne this is your day!" He raises his glass in the air and looks out to the assembly, "Famille and friends join me in a toast to congratulate and welcome Sister Di Anne into Our Roissy Val d'Oise Sisterhood. To you Sister Di Anne, Congratulations! Cheers!"
Gillian Darkwatch smiles. "What a wonderful graduation this has been. Di congratulations on your new role as Sister of Roissy Val D'Oise, your loyalty and dedication to our sim is an example to all the other Debs and Dems following in your footsteps.
"Di you are going to be an amazing sister, helpful patient, kind...smiles it's an honor to know you and have you join our ranks. Thank you for your wonderful event i know it was talked about for weeks, and 100K to the sim! WOW!
"A submissives journey is never easy, we have to be patient, trusting, consistent, imaginative, honest at all times and above all know who we are and what we want. True submission is the giving of one’s will, trust, and love to another."
Gillian Darkwatch turns and smiles to Maitre Rene.."Maitre Rene thank you sharing your dream with us, you have provided us with a wonderful sim, a place we laugh, cry, get frustrated in , roleplay and meet people from all over the world, a place where we have formed wonderful lasting friendships with people we would never have met in our daily lives.
Thank you ..blows you a kiss.
"Thank you Maitre JC, Maitre Taylor Xan, Sana and Annie for all the hours you put in here everyday, for your unending support, help, advice and guidance.
"Maitre Rene 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 now invite you to close the proceedings witnessed here today?"
René stands, smiles at Gillian and taking a champagne flute, moves before Di Anne
"Sister Di Anne this is your day!" He raises his glass in the air and looks out to the assembly. "Famille and friends join me in a toast to congratulate and welcome Sister Di Anne into Our Roissy Val d'Oise Sisterhood. To you Sister Di Anne, Congratulations! Cheers!"
Juliette Congratulations Desr Di Anne ... welcome to the Roissy Val d'Oise Sisterhood! *smiles brightly*
Susie Asalia raises her glass, cheers Sister Di Anne
Maitre Taylor Gulps his down like its 5 oclock, well or 12 on a Saturday
Sir AJ Cheers Di and congratulations
Annie Chocolate KISSES FOR YOU !!
Blue Ronsein raises her glass high, almost spills on Master Brinker, "Congratulations!!!!"
Kurt™ (kurt8): Hooray!
?? ?ηη? Ç?α?ρ?oη (princessdi45): mouths thank you all for coming
As the congratulations quiet, Rene reflects upon Di Anne before he speaks. " Sister Di Anne, you bring to my mind the word “Devotion” … something that is often stressed between submissive and Dominant and an allegiance we hope all our submissives and Dominants adhere to with regards to not only their paths here, but also our community.
"In it’s most simplest description, devotion is love, loyalty or enthusiasm for a person, activity or cause, in your cause it is your devotion to your submission here at Roissy Val d'Oise.
"You are loyal to us...this quality in you radiates in all you do like the aureole around the sun. Wish that all submissives were as faithful as you. Faithfulness is a character quality… being faithful to that which you support in words and actions, in your case, Roissy Val d'Oise.
"Your obedience is the action of complying with our rules… and the simple submission to the authority of our Dominants." He smiles at her
"Sister Di Anne, you demonstrate these fine submissive qualities." He moves to the center of the stage
