On a pretty August evening, the procession gradually took their places on the big stage outside the Roissy Chateau. Xanadu led Becca by her leash to the end of the ramp then directed her to her waiting cushion. First supporting her as she knelt, leaning over un leashing her … smiling with a proud tear in her eye…. kisses her cheek softly … then moved to her place and greeted Maitre Thomas.
She faces the audience .. "Honored family and guests, Welcome all to this joyous occasion .. for today we come together to witness the Graduation of Demoiselle Rebecca, who will join the exclusive ranks of the Roissy Val d'Oise Sisterhood.
"It is with some sadness that we bid farewell to Demoiselle Rebecca as she leaves her path here in Samois to rejoin the wider Roissy community. Her path will not end .. as it is ever evolving as she serves and continues to grow under the direction of the Dominant Supervisor Thomas ."
Rebecca sighs softly and kneels on the soft cushion looking out to my Family and Guests
"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."
W E L C O M I N G D O M I N A N T
Thomas shifts my weight to right foot and smiles, opening my 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.
"I am happy to see such a large turn out for Rebecca's special day."
slipping my hands in my suit pockets speaking with pride, "The sister graduation is the cumulation of hard work and patience. Well all have had some part in making sure Rebecca was patient and made it through. That is our strength here at Roissy Val D'Oise."
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. Rebecca, has gone through the soul searching journey and has found her way here at Roissy, despite several challenges, She is a very pleasant girl that has caused no trouble, and I am sure will be a valued member for years to come.
smiles to Rebecca and returns to my seat.
Then Xanadu rises and speaks, ”Yes Maître Thomas and thank you for your kind and encouraging words regarding Demoiselle Rebecca." and the new Sister smiles to him
Xanadu, continuing, 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 rises from her cushion stretching my legs and tidying up the gown before stepping forward. "Thank you Xana, Maitre Thomas, Distinguished Members on the stage and those present in the audience. It is my pleasure to represent the House of Samois as I welcome everyone. Today we celebrate the accomplishments Demoiselle Rebecca has made on her path to becoming a Roissy Val D'Oise Sister. The House of Samois and I are so proud of Rebecca's accomplishments at Roissy, She has been a dedicated member taking her path slowly, carefully and with Integrity, Assuring she would grow and flourish in our community. Rebecca has spent countless hours helping others here at Roissy. whether it was simply greeting every new face or using her creative mind to enhance our sim, Becoming a Sister takes patience, knowledge and determination, Rebecca has made all of these apparent in her vitality and her willingness to help others on their path.” She looks out once more to those gathered for Rebecca's Special Day. "Thank you all for supporting Rebecca with your presence here today. Congratulations Sister Rebecca " and then turns and moves back to kneel on her cushion.
"Thank you Sister Ginger for your gracious welcome from the House of Samois and your encouraging words for Demoiselle Rebecca.
Maitresse Derry, as Rebecca's Finals Maitresse .. Please let us know your recommendations for Demoiselle Rebecca."
R E C O M M E N D A T I O N
Derry stands with a smile to all and a wink to Becca. “Hello everyone, it's great to see you here to support and honor this very fine girl. Talk about going all the way with a girl! I think Rebecca and I have. I met her at the landing one day and we spoke a while, then it was time for a class, Becca's first. We walked there together. Can't have new folks getting lost. Becca took her time with her Deb stage and like many others, received offers to go elsewhere which she stoically refused. There was however one persistent, Spanish speaking gentleman, with whom Becca was so sweet as to communicate using Google translate.
He still wouldn't take no for an answer. Long story short, Becca called me and I tried but finally called in Golden for full Spanish fluency, speaking with him until we made our point. Becca unwittingly complimented me highly that night by saying she knew he'd back off now that he knew she had protectors. When Becca did make it to initiation, yours truly was there to MC the ceremony. She did well with that as she'd done with her tasks along the way. Always a good submissive, always open to learn something by trying new things. And always trying to help others. So at last, the Demoiselle had completed all her requirements. Performed all the tasks and lived up to the expectations necessary in order to take her Sister final. Once again I had the pleasure of working with Becca. Granted that by this time we had developed a level of trust but I took Becca places she had never been. When she expressed a concern I offered an explanation which she accepted and we continued. Of course I was nervous that I might go too far, being determined to push her. Fortunately and not surprisingly we only moved forward, thanks to Becca's great attitude. I'm here today to reiterate my glowing recommendation for Rebecca's advancement and to join all of you in congratulating Rebecca for her accomplishment in becoming a Sister of Roissy VdO. She blows Becca a kiss as she returns to her seat, and Rebecca smiles with tear filled eyes knowing how far Maitresse has come with me
Xanadu speaks— “Thank you Maitresse Derry for presenting your wonderful recommendation of advancement for our Rebecca. As I am Becca's Mentor i will save my words regarding her until later. Maitre Thomas, you have heard the recommendations of her finals Maitresse Derry and as her Mentor .. I whole heartily support her recommendation for the advancement of Demoiselle Rebecca. I respectfully invite you to confer to Demoiselle Rebecca the title and the ring of our Sisterhood.” and Thomas nods.
T H E C O N F E R M E N T
He crosses my leg and reflecting on the comments and recommendations spoken today, and she lifts her eyes to him. He smiles to the group and says, "I am always impressed with all the commendations and today is no exception. Please proceed Xanadu" and Xanadu smiles to Rebecca,
“Yes Maitre .. "
“Demoiselle Rebecca, come forward please and kneel before Maitre Thomas." and she hurries to the cushion, “Yes Xana” and she gracefully kneels at his feet head held high eyes lowered in respect
Thomas looks at the Demoiselle before him then along the platform. Recalling all of the supportive words. "Rebecca, we are all very proud of you; myself, your mentor, I am sure Rene and all of Roissy Val d’ Oise." and Rebecca lifts her eyes to him " thank you Maitre Thomas.”
“Seems only yesterday, I was telling a new Debutante to be careful and not dance too close to Dominants.” and chuckles a little, as Becca blushes remembering.
Thomas reaches into my pocket searching for the piece of neatly folded but worn linen stationary, where he has taken notes on different occasions along her journey. Smiles looking toward all the Debutantes and Demoiselles and says, "you see Submissives, I do take notes." "Rebecca's notes are a long roll of parchment, but I'll just use my abridged notes". He begins to speak “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 October 25, 2016. and Beauti and Sefa smile while Alyss gasps.
"She then progressed and moved on to the time of her Initiation on March 11, 2017, where she served and was opened by Dominants of Chateau Roissy Val D’ Oise and became known as Demoiselle Rebecca." She bite her lower lip seeing his notes. "Her journey continued as she traveled along wanting to learn and absorb. July 14, 2017, Rebecca presented an amazing workshop titled ‘Power Exchange.’ She continued along next with her well planned Sister Event as she presented Star Wars The Last Jedi on December 27, 2017. I have not forgotten you giving me a Star Wars AT-Walker and then cutting the platform out from under my feet." Wags my finger at her. and Becca— O.O, hangs my head down “Her Final task was a test of her Submission based upon her strengths and weaknesses. The Adjointe de Samois received a notice of recommendation from Maitresse Derry that all was completed and she was worthy of Sisterhood. Now today she kneels before us on August 26, 2018, to receive what she had committed herself too, 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”
He takes Demoiselle Rebecca’s hand. She smiles at him. finding the ring and a confident smile he finds it, Inspecting it closely seeing the gleaming golden ring sparkle and places it onto Demoiselle Rebecca’s finger crouching forward as he speaks softly to her, “Congratulations Rebecca you will inspire many,I know you will be pleasant constant presence on our sim.” She places her hand in his shaking a bit.
Thomas sits back, and smiling with pride, 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"
Thank you Maitre Thomas, " Rebecca looks at the beautiful ring and wears it proudly.
Then Xanadu hearing Maitre Thomas's instruction .. smiled to our kneeling Demoiselle Rebecca .. my Mentee .. then looks round towards those assembled .. members and guests drawing their attention before continuing
"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 Rebecca...."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 Rebecca ….” pauses to let the new title resonate amongst those assembled
Congratulations Sister Becca and welcome to our Honored Roissy Val d'Oise Sisterhood .
Loud and excited cheers for Rebecca follow, which take many moments to die down.
"Sister Rebecca, please stand and take a moment to speak to all your family friends and guests assembled here today."
She smiles to everyone gathered here, “thank you"
S I S T E R ' S S P E E C H
"Numerous times, I pondered on how to write my speech. I kept putting it off and began to worry. A multitude of emotions seized me each time I considered what I would share. It is a challenge to express all the inner thoughts I have here today."
smiles again and gathers my courage.....
"It has been nearly two years since I first arrived at Roissy VDO. It was a chance landing without knowing what I might encounter or experience here. I did not know one person here when I arrived. Moreover, I did not know a thing about "The Story of O" or the BDSM lifestyle. A stranger in a strange land to say the least."
"My journey, like those of many others, contained experiences which I never previously encountered. I tried to learn from each of the experiences, whether good or bad. I am happy for most and regret only a few. All in all, I have grown as a person, here in my submission and in my care for others struggling to grow. I will always be thankful for my learning and development here."
My gaze trails over those here today. Taking a moment to pick out certain faces and giving them each a grateful smile eyes tearing up reflecting on memories with them. "Those people know who they are, and how they mattered."
" Every person here in Roissy has made an impression on me in one manner or another. Our diverse minds and experiences make Roissy a special place indeed."
She turns and smiles " Xana became my mentor and friend. Our mentoring sessions were sometimes serious but always positive and upbeat."
"I appreciated that her method was not in the manner of a teacher and a school girl. She has the special skill and vision to teach from immediate situations and spontaneous occurring happenings. "
"Xana was often direct with me, while helping me handle situations in which I was struggling. This approach served me best since many of situations were new to me. These teaching moments were awesome and resulted in much of my growth."
"There are several other people I would like thank for their help and kindness with me during my journey. This list is by no means complete but time and space prevents me from mentioning all the wonderful people here at Roissy Vdo who have helped and supported me."
Rebecca looks to her "Maitresse Derry, She was with me on first day at Roissy, held my hand many times, The MC at my Initiation, and Performed my Sister final. You mean so much to me, Maitresse. "
"Maitre JB, for his introducing me to BDSM art, discussions, and dancing.
"Sister Fae for initially helping me with hosting.
"Sister Sana for arranging the space for my store, helping me have an extra place to role play dressmaker "Society O".
"Master Brick, cat, svana giving me extra courage when initiation time came
"Maitre's Kurt and Dusty showed me my earliest examples of how our Admin guides us here in Roissy by helping in a calm and kind manner. "
"Sister Blue and Golden for helping with my Sister Finals. It was exciting having known them both since my first day. Sister Sadie for her support of my Sister event and for her constant example of class and grace."
"Mistress Flor and Miss Meli for allowing me to serve them in Chateau when I was a new Debutante
"Mistress Petra for her encouragement to role play and giving me courage to write."
"I would also like to thank Sisters Sweet, Venna, and Ginger for their frequent help and and counseling on a weekly basis."
"Also... to Maitre JB, Maitre Dom, Maitre Sting, Maitre Hadaway, Sir Paul and Sir Opie, for assisting me with my path logs."
"Maitre Thomas who has been very patient with this often "cheeky girl". I have thrived under his sim leadership and I have appreciated the direction he has given me. "
"One of the many memories of Him will be "When i was a deb. He would watch over me dancing all night with strange visitors and tell me to get new dancing shoes as mine were worn out. Thank you Maitre Thomas for looking out for me every step of my journey."
"A very Special thanks to Maitre Rene for checking in on me from to time to see how I was progressing and to see if he could offer help. and for not punishing me for crashing the tour car into the Christmas tree"
"Lastly, Maitre Dom, smiles to him, " We met by chance on the sim one day. both Famillee members, Our friendship flourished, He has been my best friend, a mentor, my protector, a teacher and many more things. We have role played many times in the sim... The Chateau and in the Dungeon."
"Maitre Dom has taught me so much about real life BDSM. Important things like Power Exchange, implement tools, trust, Aftercare, and many other elements of the BDSM lifestyle. Each experience has been wonderful with this truly Dominant man. " and Dom smiles at her.
"It is an honor to be considered a Sister of Roissy Vdo. This wonderful sim has been my daily home for nearly two years. The paths here are not always easy. No one can move and grow here without the help of others. I have been blessed with the kindness, care, and friendship of many here. "
" There are family members who spend many hours a day here. I have always admired them for their help to others and making the sim a lively place to learn and develop. The Admins here are remarkable for their dedication to the sim. I am often inspired by their long hours of unselfish work."
"I encourage all of you here to be active in the community and to enjoy and make every day a special memory . Lastly, thank you all for attending and sharing this day with me. "
"I love you all and you are deep in my heart today. Thank you so much. And thank you to Maitre Rene for our spectacular sim and home. "
" I know the hour is late for many and i thank them acknowledging me with for their messages of Congratulations and regret for not attending ., i hope to see you all at the celebration
Xanadu stands and turns to Becca .. Thank you for your sweet words .. your heart and sincerity can be seen in every word . I ask that you to please take your place before Maitresse Derry .

Xanadu turns to back to the audience "Becca and i have a very good relationship and i know she will be a strong support for Vdo .. she started here just as i .. eager to learn .. to find her place here and help in the community .. thats was our first bond." and Becca smiles kneeling and catching her breath smiling to my Family.

Becca is also one who has shown .. those who know her .. to be very in tuned to the rules od VdO and has the respect of many. 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.

Rebecca smiles, thank you my Mentor, my friend
T H E T O A S T & D I S M i S S A L
Thomas stands and walks to Rebecca, "So we are going to find out what you are like after drinking French Champagne." She looks to him again smiling seeing his thoughts swirling around and feels nervous and smiles" yes Maitre Thomas.” and he inspects the bottle and smiles, happy they got my order right. "Dom Pérignon 1952, by Moët & Chandon, perfect for this occasion" He pours himself a flute and one for the new sister, hands her the flute and turns as Rebecca slips the glass from his hand to his, taking a sip Thomas raises his glass and speaks, "Come everyone and raise your glass with me in congratulating and welcoming Becky into sisterhood here at Roissy Val d'Oise.!
The large audience, their flutes full, all cheer and toast the new sister with bubbly enthusiasm.
"A time for you to reflect and celebrate on your past, present and future. A time to rejoice and celebrate. Rebecca, it is with honor to call you a Sister of Roissy Val d’ Oise. I encourage each of us as members to take a look deep inside ourselves, be the example setters for others as we lead and guide. " He finishes Champagne, with northing added.
“Thank you Maitre Thomas, interjects Rebecca, “so grateful for your advice to just let your path happen naturally"
“You are most welcome and Congratulations, Becky — I thank you all for sharing in your time and showing support today as Rebecca became a Sister of VdO. The he clears his throat, "Please join us in the Ballroom for Sister Rebecca's Graduation party with Dj Sadie, for a celebration dance immediately following ."
“Thank you everyone, party time with Sadie, Julie decorated the ballroom so pretty”
