A floral-scented summer breeze trickled through the Gardens as the honored submissive and the Roissy leaders slowly marched onto the grand stage. Xanadu Xue, Adjointe de Samois, began the beautiful ceremony by quieting the large crowd that came to celebrate Dominique.
"Honored guests, Welcome all to this joyous event for today. We come together to witness the Graduation of Demoiselle Dominique, who will join the exclusive ranks of the Roissy Val d'Oise Sisterhood. It is with some sadness that we bid farewell to Demoiselle Dominique as she leaves her path here in Samois to rejoin the wider Roissy community. Under the direction of the Dominant Supervisor Thomas her path will not end as it is ever evolving as she serves and continues to grow. This is a happy occasion which has brought us here today as I am able to announce that although the House of Samois loses a Demoiselle today, Roissy Val d'Oise gains a welcomed Sister.
"As a Sister she will continue to be active and supportive with those of the House of Samois .. as it is Sisters who will be the Mentors to the young and striving Debutantes and Demoiselles.All of the VdO submissives are welcomed at Samois as it is our home and comfort center should we ever feel this 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."smiles to him . Maitre Thomas I respectfully invite you to welcome everyone."

"Thank you, Xanadu." He stands and walks forward, shifts his weight to right foot and smiles, 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." slipping my hands in my jacket pockets speaking with pride, "Our sister graduation is the cumulation of hard work and patience. Dominique'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. This evening is a very special one for her as she graduates from Demoiselle Dominique to Sister Dominique, a significant milestone indeed.
"The path of a submissive is never an easy one, Not just anyone can do it. The sisters of of 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. Our path has been refined by many years of lessons learned to make it the successful learning path we know today.." smiles to Dominique and then the crowd, "Thank you all, let's get this started"
"Yes Maître Thomas," declares Xanadu, "and thank you for your kind and encouraging words regarding Demoiselle Dominique." She smiles to Ginger ...."Sister Ginger 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
Ginger stands and steps a little away from her cushion on the platform, straightening her gown and smiling as she glances at the pieces of paper in her hand. "Thank you Xanadu, lifting her face to look out to the members of our family and friends of VdO, who have come to witness another beautiful submissive being promoted to Sister. She turns slightly acknowledging the other dignitaries, addressing and welcoming them accordingly. "Maitres, Maitresses, Masters, Mistresses, Sirs, Misses, Sisters, Dems, Debs and friends, it is with great honor and pleasure as I stand here before you today to represent the House of Samois on this wonderful occasion. Today we celebrate and share in the accomplishments and achievements which Demoiselle Dominique has made on her path to become a Sister of Roissy Val d'Oise. She smiles over to the beautiful woman kneeling beside Maitre Dom.
"Here in our home at Roissy Val d'Oise we are proud of our submissives and Dominique is no exception in this matter, the House of Samois has stood proudly watching her growth. We are honored to have Dominique presented to each and every one of you today. Dominique has with grace and great strength completed her Debutante, and Demoiselle phases and has proven herself to be worthy in every aspect of her chosen path. I am honored therefore to have the privilege of welcoming each of you on Dominique's special day". Turned and smiled to her saying "Congratulations to you Dominique" before returning to my cushion.... and Dominique blushes.
"Thank you Sister Ginger for your gracious welcome from the House of Samois and your encouraging words to Demoiselle Dominique. " and Xana smiles to Maitre Dom .. " Maitre Dom as Dominique's Finals Maitre .. please let us know your recommendations for Demoiselle Dominique."
R E C O M M E N D A T I O N
The dark-bearded Maitre stands and faces the audience, "Greetings ladies and gentlemen. It is a pleasure addressing all of you this evening for this wonderful occasion, Dominique's Sister Graduation. One of the things I truly enjoy about Roissy Vdo are the opportunities each of us can seize to help other family members help achieve their goals and make real their dreams. To preface... Dominique and I encountered each other on the sim on many occasions but our interaction was limited to greetings and other courtesies. On July 4, Dominique asked me to perform her Sister Final. After several days of thought, I agreed to assist her. I reviewed her Final instructions, studied her Limits information, and viewed her strengths / weaknesses. I then developed several scenarios to meet the Final requirements. The Final journey began in The Chateau where Dominique faltered at a service that caused me disappointment. The service infraction led to the Dungeon where the remainder of the Final dramatically unfolded.. I was particularly stern, demanding, challenging, and dominant with Dominique during all phases of the Final. This included several hours of the following: obedience acumen. sexual responsiveness, withstanding punishment, hard discipline, submissiveness, and aftercare.
I am pleased and happy to report that Dominique excelled in meeting all of the demands and challenges set before her. She provided me proof that she earned the title of Sister of Roissy Vdo. To Dominique, please know that I enjoyed our time together in helping you achieve this honor today. My sincerest congratulations!"
At that, Dominique smiles thankfully.
"To all here, I declare that Dominique is most worthy of the Sister title. In conclusion, it has been my pleasure to speak here this evening and help one of our family move forward as a valued community member. Thank you.."
Xana transitions, “Thank you Maitre Dom for presenting your wonderful recommendation of advancement for our Dominique. Sister Diamond will you please present your words of encouragement and your thoughts regarding your mentee Dominique ? "
M E N T O R ‘ S S P E E C H
"With pleasure Xana." Diamond looks over to Dominique and smiles and then smiles to those here supporting her on this day.
"Hello Maitres, Masters, Mistresses, Sirs, and fellow submissives. The beginning, always a good place to start right? I'll do so with the first time I spoke with this lovely lady. Dominique didn't wait for me to get in contact with her. She, soon after finding out who her mentor was, messaged me right away along with a friend request. I'm normally quieter when first meeting people, so witnessing all this energy coming from her took me by surprise -- but a good one. Dominique approaches everything and everyone like this. It's in no way anything to keep hidden, and I'm thankful she's sharing it with me. I remember her asking me if I had any advice to give. I thought about this, and besides the normal suggestions such as don't hesitate to talk to me about anything, ask for help, take your time, enjoy all the moments as well as learn from them....The most important advice I felt I could offer at the time was to just keep being you, never stop being you. Dominique, in my opinion, has done that with ease. Her enthusiasm equals contagious, her energy and humor equals delicious. This lady's want and need to serve definitely undeniable.
Dominique smiles, blue eyes become teary
Diamond continues, "Dominique, I have said this to you before and I'm saying it again. You are an amazing, beautiful, kind, person and don't ever stop being you, I'm proud of you. You have faced your challenges with grace and bopped them on the head with your tenacious approach. I'm happy our paths crossed, we can talk silly, funny, serious, plus delirious at times. No judgments, just accepting who we are and keeping open communication with one another and I love that. I happily welcome Dominique to sisterhood she's an asset to the team and has earned her place among those that came before her. I wish for you to have many more positive moments, submerging into role play that you love so much. I wish every experience you have to be fulfilling. wish in all of them you're able to see an opportunity to keep growing, learning, enjoy, smile and laugh. If tears do come, I wish for you to see be able to see even clearer than before.
My advice for you is to remember patience can be our best friend sometimes. A strength that helps to keep us sane." smiles "In those not so positive experiences, which will come also, to jump on them, take the reigns and soar high above like only you can do. Most important Dominique, continue to keep the core of you, and I'm talking about that awesome heart of yours, and remember I'm always here for you, beautiful. CONGRATULATIONS my cheeky, you did it!" Domi smiles to Diamond, who rushes over and dry her tears and sits back down and smiles, "meant ever word of it."
"Thank you for you remarks regarding Demoiselle Dominique", continues Xanadu. " Maitre Thomas, you have heard the recommendations of Maitre Dom and supported by her mentoring Sister Diamond. I respectfully invite you to confer to Demoiselle Dominique the title and the ring of our Sisterhood"
T H E C O N F E R M E N T
Thomas nods affirmatively.. sits back in his chair thinking, hearing it creak a bit, and reflecting on the comments and recommendations spoken today.. smiles to the group and says, "My heart is warmed by all these fine commendations," waves to Xanadu to proceed.
Seeing his gesture ..Xanadu looks to the honoree, "Demoiselle Dominique, come forward please and kneel before Maitre Thomas."
Dominique stands up elegantly, walks over to the pillow in front of Maitre Thomas and sinks down with a all lady like and sensual motion, as Diamond smiles, watching.
Thomas looks at the Demoiselle kneeling before him. He reaches into his jacket pocket searching for the piece of neatly folded paper. Smiles looking toward all the Debutantes and Demoiselles and says, "I do take notes. You see here before you a submissive woman, .. one who has honored her path. She was accepted into the house of Samois as a Debutante February 20th 2018. She then progressed and moved on to the time of her Initiation on April 4, 2018, where she served and was opened by Dominants of Chateau Roissy Val D’ Oise and became known as Demoiselle Dominique."
He looks at her and smiles, "DD only a little longer" and she blushes and lowers her head humbly.
"Her journey continued as she traveled along wanting to learn and absorb. May 28th 2018, Dominique presented an amazing workshop titled 'RP Right Off The Cuff.' She continued along next with her well planned Sister Event as she presented the Great VdO Sim Hunt on June 28th, 2018. 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 Dom that all was completed and she was worthy of Sisterhood." and he nods to Dom, with affirmation., who nods back.
"Now today she kneels before us on August 19, 2018, to receive what she had committed herself too, the giving of her submission,. This evening she will have bestowed upon her the VDO ring and title of Sister." and he takes Demoiselle Dominique’s hand.. She shivers. He quickly finds the Roissy Sister ring safety tucked in my watch pocket, and slips it on her finger, "Congratulations Dominique you will inspire many., and be a loyal sister for Roissy Val d'Oise.”
Dominique swallows dry and whispers: "thank you, Maitre Thomas" --cheeks blushed deeply now. Thomas sits back, hearing the chair creak again, turning 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"
Hearing Thomas' instruction .. Xanadu smiled to our kneeling Demoiselle Dominique .. then looks round towards those assembled .. members and guests drawing their attention.. "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 Dominique.....No more will you carry that title........Cast it aside and wear this one that I give you at this time...... Wear the emblem 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 Dominique ..." .pauses to let the new title resonate amongst those assembled, smiles to you and winks,
And that signals roars of congratulations from the audience, who have all held back until now.
"Sister Dominique, please stand and take a moment to speak to all your family friends and guests assembled here today."
S I S T E R ' S S P E E C H
The new Sister stands up slowly, turns to the audience... stands nervously smiling, cheeks enchantingly blushed, she takes a deep breath and her voice sounds softly: "Good evening everybody and thank you all for honoring me with being here at my sister graduation! I hope you all have some popcorn and coffee? My speech is just 68 pages, so, well, hope your chair is soft enough! *giggles* Nooo, just joking, to break the ice and to calm myself!" --smiles amused, inhaling deeply again-- "At first I would like to thank some persons from VdO, which are very special to me and helped me very much! Thank you Xanadu! You are the heart and soul of Samois and do sooo much for VdO, thank you for that! Thank you very much, Xanadu! *hugs* and Xana smiles, " my pleasure"
"Then thank you Maitre Sting, you motivated me very much as I was new here and you have been always helpful and charming! Thank you so much! Thank you Maitre Dom! Thank you for this fantastic final, thank you for the emotions you allowed me to expess! Thank you very much, Maitre Dom." Then she smiles as she turned to look to her mentor, "And finally, thank you so much Diamond, honey, you have been my awesome mentor, my rock, my solace and always my best help! Without you I would not have made it so far!" *blows a kiss to Diamond* "You are a great human, a great woman, a wise woman, a smart woman with a big big warm heart! Thank you for all your help!" *big blue eyes become teary*
"And of course thank you all of the others which keep this sim paid and running! Thank you Maitre Rene and Maitre Thomas and all you others which make VdO this special and awesome place! As I found this sim and RP months ago, I was excited, curious, because with the Book 'The Story OF O' my feelings for D/s and BDSM got woken up, I was 14 and sooo thrilled by this novel, wow, I was really hit by it. So I had no other chance as to apply here and believe it or not, they took me in! *giggles* The following Journey of my paths have been an exciting challenge and I learned some more about myself and BDSM. With becoming Sister I hope my voyage will not end, I hope I can be a helpful member of our community, our family.
"And now to keep it short, just let me finish my speech with the following, I figured with being a good girl I would get my head patted and with being a cheeky brat I would get my butt spanked, would get punished, so, please, don't mind when I would like to stay the cheeky brat I am! Thank you!!" and she smiles at her mentor again.

Xanadu stands and turns to Dominique .. "Thank you for your sweet words .. I know each were written from your heart and with sincerity. I ask that you to please take your place before Maitre Dom." and Dominique nods and walks to maitres Dom side and sinks on the cushion softly..
Xanadu turns to Dominique .. "This day was a vision for you from the very day you became a Debutante .. and here you are." turns to back to the audience "Dominique and i have spoken .. shared and discussed many things as well as the occasional 'what if's' ... and was always willing to do anything i asked of her .. 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 .." She smiles to Diamond her mentor and then to those in the audience .. "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 gently assist as needed ...and for this .. i sincerely thank yall .. for your continued support to the House of Samois .. although you will now be under the direction of the Senior Dominant Supervisor as all Sisters .. still .. you will continue to assist the others in the community . I was present at both at Dominique's Workshop which opened our eyes more to the importance of the reasons why we are here at Roissy .. for the enjoyment of Role play and her Sister Event where we had a bit of education about Roissy . 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 .. smiles to Dominique .. her uniqueness was felt by many as she moved forward .. some times a little quickly .. but always with the vision of today insight. As told to us with Maitre Doms's very favorable recommendation .. today Dominique was elevated to the status of an 'Honored .. Roissy Vdo Sister.'"
Xanadu smiled again to her and winks .. " I am so proud of you Dominique .. you have truly found your place here with us .. and you are and will indeed continue be an asset to Roissy Vdo spread your wings and fly." She turns .. "Maitre Thomas .. 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." Turning back to the audience .. "First an primarily to out Dominants .. a sincere thank you to y'all for being here to encourage and help us .. and for your patience as we learn. 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.

"Maitre Thomas, that concludes the graduation ceremony. The House of Samois is proud to see another of its Demoiselles take her place in the wider Roissy community under your direction. I respectfully invite you to please close the proceedings witnessed by those present today"
T H E T O A S T & D I S M i S S A L
Thomas stands and straightens his slacks, brushing them off. He looks at the chilling Dom Perignon, and smiles, "Only the good stuff for our sisters." and thy smile. He pours two flutes. hands one to Dominique... clicks the flute with hers and turns, ""Come everyone and raise your glass with me in congratulating and welcoming her in to sisterhood here at Roissy Val d'Oise." **clinks**
"A time for you to reflect and celebrate on your past, present and future. A time to rejoice and celebrate. Dominique, it is with honor to call you a Sister of Roissy Val d’ Oise. Congratulations Dominique!" and Dominique nods and whispers with shaking voice: "merci, Maitre Thomas," then raises her glass towards all.
Their glasses full, the enormous crowd bellows toasts loudly and exuberantly before Thomas can finally quiet them to speak.
“Dominique I think likes the Dom better....Dom Pérignon that is.” exudes Thomas... and Dominique responds, "thank you all so very much! Merci beaucoup"
Thomas finishes the flute, listening to the congratulations die down, "Please join us in the Ballroom for Sister Dominique's Graduation party with my girl, Dj Sadie, for a celebration dance immediately after I manage to waddle off stage."
