It is a nice wintery day at Roissy Val d’Oise.  The sun is bright and glittering off the freshly fallen snow dusting the grounds. It is a stunning day for a very special occasion,  Star’s Sister Graduation.  Friends and family gathered to support her in the Roissy Gardens and share in this auspicious event.  

Sweet leads her mentee forward towards her future from Samois. The regal and beautiful Star glides down the path in her white lace and dark corset like the ethereal submissive she has become.  This symbolizes the resplendent journey she has been on, moving from debutante to demoiselle to now a sister.

As she is guided to the archway opening of the Roissy Garden by her mentor, Xanadu, Adjointe de Samois, stands before the crowd and asks for quiet.  The multitude of well wishers settle down as she begins by saying, “Greetings Maitres Maitresse Masters Mistresses Sirs Misses and Ladies” and then after a small pause, “hugs yall x0x”.  Xanadu looks out over the friends and family gathered there for Star.  Her eyes fall on Sweet in her winsome porcelain blue dress and finally on Star at the opening with her rosy glow from the cool air and excitement.

 "Sister Sweet please bring forward our Graduating Demoiselle Star to her place on the cushion near Maitre Dom ."

She brushes away the golden tresses from Star’s neck and leans in to wrap her in her arms.  Whispering in her ear so that only she and Star can hear, Sweet says, “this is YOUR moment…”  Then with her fingers, she unclasps from the corset the lace top and slides it from Star’s body exposing her round full breasts. Lifting up the pale lace in her hand, she murmurs,  “I will keep this in a safe spot for you”.  As she feels Sweet’s embrace fall away as her top is removed, Star looks at her mentor and warmly smiles at her. Sweet begins to lead her down the aisle as well wishes say hello quietly and give words of encouragement or love to Star.  She walks her to the stage and has Star kneel on the cushion in bracelets position next to Maitre Dom.  Sweet then moves to her own spot on the stage and kneels.  

As Star is getting settled, Xanadu standing before them smiles at her and turns to first look at the others on the stage and then to the crowd again to speak.

"Maître Thomas”

"Honored guests, Welcome all to this joyous event for today we come together to witness the Graduation of Demoiselle Star, who will join the exclusive ranks of the Roissy Val d'Oise Sisterhood." and then pauses...

"It is with some sadness that we bid farewell to Demoiselle Star as she leaves her path here in Samois to rejoin the wider Roissy community. " her eyes scan the audience taking in her family and the friends here for Star.  

Then with warmth she looks down at Star, "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."
She returns her attention to the crowd, "This is a happy occasion which has brought us here today as I am able to announce ... 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 actively involved and supportive with those of the House of Samois .. as it is Sisters who are the Mentors to the young and striving Debutantes and Demoiselles."

 "All of the VdO submissives are always welcomed at Samois as it is our home and comfort center .. should we ever feel this desire or need."

And with hearty emotion and strength in her words Xanadu looks to Star, "The Samois Sisters, Assistants or myself will always be available if you ever need a shoulder to lean on or just a friendly chat."

Xanadu turns her gaze from Star and smiles to Maitre Thomas .."Maitre Thomas I respectfully invite you to welcome everyone."

Xanadu moves to her spot on the stage and kneels respectfully as Maitre Thomas takes his place in front to address the audience.

Smiling at her, he says, "Thank you, Xanadu". He stands and  smiles, opening his arms gesturing to the crowd, "Esteemed, and  loyal Members and Guests,  we are are gathered here today for one of our oldest and most beloved traditions at Roissy Val d'Oise. ".  Stepping further, "This is the holiday season and I see nothing more joyous then a new sister finishing her path" Slipping his hands in his suit pockets speaking with pride, "The sister graduation is the cumulation of persistent and hard work.  Star'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."  

“Today is a very special day for her as she graduates from Demoiselle Star to Sister Star.  Her path has spanned a long time and this shows that Star has patience and determination. I know that she has waited later in her night  in order to finish tasks and I very respect her for that."

Maitre Thomas walks closer to Star. With a broad smile as he looks down at her, he says, "She is also quick to offer me a Starbuck's coffee at events, which is much appreciated." A few chuckles can be hear from those near by.  Star, beginning to feel emotional, pull out the tissue.

 "The sisters of of sim earn the right to be called "sister".  Our submissives are not just 'anyone', they have graduated from the most complete submissive training path in Second Life."

Maitre Thomas turns and walks to his chair, saying, "Please  continue Xanadu"

Rising again, she replies, "Yes Maître Thomas and thank you for your kind and encouraging words regarding Demoiselle Star." and walks to center stage.

"Sister Venna sends her regrets and i will read her welcome on behalf of the House of Samois"

Moving forward she slightly turns to face the members as she stands at the podium, addressing them with respect. " Maitre, and Distinguished Members", dipping her head gently. Then turning to face the vast audience who have come to share in the celebration of a beautiful Submissive's graduation.

"Maitres, Maitresses, Masters, Mistresses, Sisters Demoiselles, Debutantes, and all friends and family of Roissy. It is with honour, pride and the utmost pleasure to represent the House of Samois today. Welcoming you all to celebrate the accomplishments of a beautiful, gentle and extraordinary Demoiselle "STAR ".

Continuing on, "This beautiful submissive, looks at her with a smile, epitomizes just what is required of a Submissive and why Roissy is the one and only place where all Submissives reach excellence in bringing out that submissive side, to serve our wonderful Dominants".

 I was honored to be part of her training when my Master included me in a Discussion with Star. We both knew after that discussion that she would take her time, listen and learn and reach the pinnacle. Today is that day".

Star's workshop "Dealing with Disabilities in a BDSM Relationship", showed us how, even here in sl we can be judged for things that happen to us in Real Life"

 "Here in SL no matter the disability we are perceived to all be on equal and level ground. Star's workshop showed us we are not, but she also showed us how to deal with those preconceived ideas about disability and how to deal with it in a BDSM relationship".

 " I bow to her for her fortitude, her honesty, her bravery and her ability to see the beautiful caring people that we do have in SL and here in Roissy and how she has dug in worked hard, overcome her fears and soldiered on"

 "Her Sister event also proved to be a Master Piece on ingenuity. Bringing us all together for * Roissy Spooktacular * Costume Contest. What an evening that was with great fun, music and the wild wild costumes".

 "I think I can say we have all enjoyed being a part of Stars journey, watching her begin as a little light in the darkness to how she is here now. A glowing Shining attribute to Roissy Submissives".

 "As I have said before Many of us on the Dominant and submissive paths do experience times where we slow and question why we are here .. but in the end we open our minds .. learn and then move forward finally to obtain the acknowledgment.. of a path well traveled".

 "Star has shown how being a submissive isn't just about pleasure. It's about the pain too and not only the physical pain that we feel as we travel that path".

"Mental pain is ignored by many, acknowledged by few and suffered mostly in silence by a great deal more".

Feeling more tears well up in her eyes, Star grab more tissue under her pillow. Xanadu smiles to her and with tenderness looks again to the Beautiful Glowing Submissive, “Thank you, thank you, thank you STAR. You are a beautiful submissive inside and out and I congratulate you on your achievement".

“Hear, Hear” is heard from the audience. Xanadu turns back to the audience with a smile and then looks to those on the podium , "We thank everyone for supporting Roissy Val D'Oise with your presence .. as we celebrate these memories shared on STAR'S Special Day".  

 "Following this ceremony there will be music and dancing in the Ballroom from 20:00-21:00 and everyone is invited as we honor our Newest Sister STAR.” And with that Xanadu smiles and blows her a kiss mouthing 'well done' to her before turning and going back to her cushion to kneel.   " Venna's words were very gracious as was her welcome from the House of Samois and your encouraging words to Demoiselle Star.”  Xanadu then smiles to Maitre Dom. "Maitre Dom.. Please present the recommendation of Maitre Turrner .. Star's Finals Maitre."

 

R E C O M M E N D A T I O N 

Maitre Dom rises looking at Xanadu, “Thank you, Xana.”  She smiles, “my pleasure Maitre”.  Standing in front to address them, “Good evening everyone. So nice to see you all here.”

“ It is an honor to step in on my friend, Turner's, behalf on this wonderful occasion. I have his speech and will now happily share it with all here this evening.”

He pulls the notecards from his inside suit pocket and begins to read aloud,
“From Maitre Turner. Good evening my friends.  The gathering of our community is not an uncommon event. Indeed, we gather to study, to learn, and to dance.  We gather to witness the challenging initiations of girls who would enter our society as dedicated submissives.   We gather again and again to congratulate  both our dominants and our submissives as they complete each part of their journey along the path Roissy has prepared them for.   But the event that we gather to celebrate today is far more special.  It is the only event we refer to as a "graduation", a commencement, which is really just another word for a beginning.  It honors the very special commitment our girls make as they embrace the title of “Sister” and begin a new phase in their service to the Roissy Sim.  Star is the third girl I have helped along this last leg of the journey to “Sisterhood,” here at VdO.  And I have found that while the girl and the challenges are different, there is always a common thread that runs through these encounters.  I am speaking of the amazing depth of commitment which these girls bring to win acceptance into the “Sisterhood” of Roissy submissives. No society, no culture, no sorority asks more of a girl wishing join. Take a moment to think about the trials our girls are asked to embrace as part of this path.    It is awe-inspiring.  

Star, like many girls before her, brought a genuine joy to her service to me during her final .  She embraced her submission and devoted herself with a fervent focus to honoring and pleasing me during each of her challenges.  Additionally, I could feel Star’s real enthusiasm for Roissy society and culture. Her deep desire to contribute to the sim, to support Roissy goals, and to support future debs, dems, and sisters, came across in her chat, in her roleplay, and in her behavior.  On a very personal level, she was patient and flexible with my difficulty setting a schedule for our encounters.  She never complained, or showed any annoyance though I suspect she stayed up late waiting for me to log more times than I know.   Star embodies all we look for in a Roissy submissive: A commitment to the culture and spirit of the sim, a deep acceptance and understanding of her submission, an eager and passionate desire to serve and to please, and the ability to inspire.  We are lucky to have her as part of our community, and she has my heartiest recommendation for advancement to the society of Sisters here at VdO and all the privileges and responsibilities her acceptance of that tag implies.  

Star looks at her coffee blaming it for staying up to late many times.

Placing the cards back in his pocket, Maitre Dom looks out, “That concludes Maitre Turrner's speech and praise of Star…”

 “Thank you Maitre Dom for presenting Maitre Turrner's wonderful recommendation of advancement for our Star." Xanadu says from her place on the podium.  

Maitre Dom graciously address them one last time, “I was honored to share wilth you this evening. Thank you.” as he returns to his seat.

Looking toward Star’s mentor, Xanadu words invite her," Sister Sweet will you please present your words of encouragement and your thoughts regarding your mentee Star ? "

 

M E N T O R ‘ S   S P E E C H    

Sweet looks at Star and gracefully gets to her feet.  “Congratulations Star!  I am so very proud of you and how much you have accomplished to get to this, YOUR DAY!” said with pride.

“I remember when I first met you, and gave you a tour of our lovely sim.  You, Abeka and I had a nice long talk and you both put in your applications. I remember how nervous you were, not sure if you would be able to do your path.”

Star looking up smiling at Sweet.  

Sweet’s gaze still on her, “Well..you sure DID your path!  Was it at the speediest pace, no, but it was at a SURE and STEADY one! You had your ups and your downs, but your UPs won! It has been my honor to have helped you through those ups and downs.  You have been a stellar mentee... listening to advice, following the rules, whether it be in dress code, protocol or sim rules. I wish we could clone you.” and giggles.  “Your will be a wonderful sister!  Someone debs and dems can look up to.  I will be honored to be calling you not only Sister, but friend!  Once again... CONGRATULATIONS, STAR, on a job WELL DONE!”  Sweet blows her a kiss and returns to her cushion.

Xanadu smles to Sweet, “Thank you for you remarks regarding Demoiselle Star. Maitre Thomas, you have heard the recommendations of Maitre Turrner and supported by her mentoring Sister Sweet. I respectfully invite you to confer to Demoiselle Star the title and the ring of our Sisterhood”

Tears begin to flow down Star’s face as she is overwhelmed with emotion.  

 

T H E  C O N F E R M E N T  

Maitre Thomas smiles and nods to Xanadu.  Leaning forward in the chair thinking and reflecting on the comments and recommendations looks out at the assembled family with a smile and says,  "I am impressed and my heart is warmed by all the commendations, Please proceed, Xanadu."

Xanadu seeing his gesture then smiles at Star, “Demoiselle Star, come forward please and kneel before Maitre Thomas."  Hearing the request, Star slowly gets up, her body shaking.  Xanadu and Maitre Thomas smile at her and he says, "Star relax, You are safe and with the friends that care for you"  Star holds onto the Starbucks closely moving forward to him. Maitre Thomas seeing the Americano from Starbucks smiles at her and takes it from her trembling hands then takes a long sip.  In reflection he says, “"We are all proud of Star and we are all proud to be in the VDO family"

He reaches into my pocket searching for the piece of neatly folded but a little tattered linen stationary, where I take notes on different occasions along her journey. Smiles looking toward all the Debutantes and Demoiselles and says, "you see Submissives, I do take notes, so mind what you do  I advise. 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 11, 2017."  

Star gasps hoping it is a good note. He continues, “"She then progressed and moved on to the time of her Initiation on January 19,2018, where she served and was opened by Dominants of Chateau Roissy Val D’ Oise and became known as Demoiselle Star. Her journey continued as she traveled along wanting to learn and absorb.  On August 29 th , Star presented an amazing workshop titled  *Dealing / Disabilities in BDSM* This sparked the interest and admiration of many.She continued along next with her well planned Sister Event as she presented * Roissy Spooktacular*.  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 Maitre Turrner that all was completed and she was worthy of Sisterhood.  Now today she kneels before us on December 2, 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.”  Maitre Thomas looks out at the sister to be, "You have heard about her journey and her commitment that has brought her today.  Here is a true inspiration."  Tears of joy fill Star’s eyes.  

He takes Demoiselle Star’s hand as his dig deep into his Navy Suit pockets searching for the ring before finding the correct one.  Maitre Thomas grins and smiles as he see the gleaming golden ring sparkle and places it onto Demoiselle Star’s  finger crouching forward as he speaks softly to her, “Congratulations Star you will inspire many.”  Xanadu smiles at Star.  Hearing his words, Star excitedly say, “yayyy! I got married to Roissy.”  Maitre Thomas sits back... So very proud, 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"

Sweet looks at her Mentee, “Congratulations SISTER STAR!””

Still in awe Star says, “yayyy! I got married to Roissy”

Congratulatory words begin being sent to Star from her family and friends in the audience. Xanadu hearing Maitre Thomas' instruction .. smiled to our kneeling Demoiselle Star .. 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 Star.....”  Cheers and applause erupt from the crowd.  “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 Star ....”

Xanadu pauses to the new title resonate amongst those assembled.  

Star looks at Xanadu, “ I will not let you down”

Xanadu then looking at Star says,"Congratulations Sister Star and welcome to our Honored Roissy Val d'Oise Sisterhood . Sister Star, 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  

Star slowly gets up and standing up trembling looks out toward the crowd with her tear soaked face.  Her hands shaking she reached down to grapped the paper under her pillow and pulls it up to her face.  She takes a deep breath and faces her family.  “ I would like to first of all thank A/all of you for being here to celebrate with me today.  Thank you all for helping me on my path .When I first started here at Roissy, I wasn't even sure I would get to my initiation, let alone my graduation. I was running around calling people by the wrong titles, or giving titles when none should have been. So many helped me to understand the do's and don't's of Roissy.” She looks at Xanadu and smiles.  Xanadu returns the smile and winks at Star.  Then smiling Star looks at her mentor Sweet’s smiling face.  Continuing she says, “Thank you Maitre Turrner for giving me a final that truly tested my patience and my desire to please.  I was so honored that you accepted my request, and will forever be in your debt.  Thank you Master Dex for helping me when I didn't think I could go on.  You pulled me up when I was down. Thank you so much for giving me the push I needed” Master Dex smiles and winks at the pretty Sister.  

“Maitre Rene... Thank you for creating this place called Roissy Val d'Oise.  It has given me a safe haven to explore and learn how to become the best sub I can be.  The Roissy Administration are so supportive, and help when they can.  Thank you Maitre Thomas for your support!”  She  wipes  tears from her eye's and looks at  her ring crying with joy. “This ring means so much to me. It is a symbol of what I now know I am capable of doing, but it is also a reminder of my Family.  Thank you again for being there for me. I vow to uphold the respect and honesty to help everyone that need help.”

 Star walks back to the cushion with tears in her  eyes and gracefully kneels not able to hold the tears back anymore crying with joy. “Thank you all for coming out to be here today   Now let put are dancing shoes on and let party and have a wonderful time”

 

S U M M A T I O N  

Xanadu stands and turns to Star .. “Thank you for your sweet words .. I know each were written from your heart and with sincerity. This day was a vision for you from the very day you became a Debutante .. and here you are.. and you are not alone.” She turns to back to the audience "As Star has said we are a diverse group of people here and this is the secret to making this awesome community work as it does for us. With the different backgrounds and cultures .. still we all with the same goal .. to be the very best we can be" and .. Sister Star has shown this excellence .. not only in her finals but in her servitude here at Roissy.  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 Sweet 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 their mentees while gently assisting as needed… Sisters are under the direction of the Senior Dominant Supervisor Maitre Thomas .. while continuing to assist others in the community on their paths.  And for this .. I sincerely thank y'all .. for your continued support to the House of Samois"  She pauses and then continues, I was present at Star's Workshop which opened our eyes to the delicacy of *Dealing With Disabilities in BDSM*.. just another way of life here in VdO... and also for her well planned * Roissy Spooktacular * Event where everyone relaxed and had fun needless to say both were enjoyed. Star's quietness and enthusiasm has always been felt in her words and actions .. and was even more as she entered the finals phase of her Demoiselle path… “ smiling at Star “ her uniqueness was felt by many as she moved forward .. steadfast .. and always with the vision of today insight.  As told to us with Maitre Turrner's very favorable recommendation .. today Star has been elevated to the status of an " Honored .. Roissy Vdo Sister on her own merits "

Xanadu smiles again to her and winks .. " I am so proud of you Star .. you have truly found your home here with us .. and you will indeed continue grow while being an asset to Roissy Vdo .. now is your time to sparkle Star.” Then turning to Maitre Thomas,  "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."

She turns back to the audience .. "First and primarily to our 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 continued support .. please remember .. we never have to pursue anything here by ourselves ... for we are a team.

With a short pause she continues, “"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 O A S T  &  D I S M i S S A L  

Shouts and cheers rise from the crowd towards Star.  Maitre Thomas stands smiling and brushes his slacks.  He walks to the chilling champagne, and searches for Annie and Sefa.   Star overcome with congratulations and love thanks everyone for their well wishes.  Maitre Thomas smiles as he hands Sister Star a flute of bubbly liquor and invites the rest to come get some champagne to toast the special occasion.  As he clinks glasses with Star and then raises his glass and speaks, "Come everyone and raise your glass with me in congratulating and welcoming Star into sisterhood here at Roissy Val d'Oise." The crowd raises their glass and toast Sister Star.    

 "A time for you Star and all of us to reflect and celebrate on your past, present and future.
