Syn's Sister Graduation
March 18, 2017
"Honored guests,
welcome all to this joyous event
for today we come together to witness
the Graduation of Demoiselle Syn,
who will join the exclusive ranks of
the Roissy Val d'Oise Sisterhood."
The joyous event of coming together as a community to support and celebrate a great milestone achievement of one of our family members is very special. When a hush spread over the assembly, and after both Samois Adjointe, Xanadu, followed by Dominant Supervisor, Maitre Thomas, gave welcome, Samois Sister Venna stood for the first time and gave welcome. After her welcome, followed the recommendation speeches, the confirment of title & ring, Syn's Speech, ending with the closing speeches. Here they are....
On behalf of Samois House - Samois Sister Venna
"Maitres and distinguished members", turning then to look out at the sea of faces, all eager to see another beauty presented to them on this auspicious day. It is with honour, pride and the utmost pleasure to represent the House of Samois on this day as we are welcoming you all to celebrate the accomplishments of a beautiful, gentle and extraordinary Demoiselle.
" Synnova has followed her path to become a Roissy Val d'Oise honored Sister. A journey that takes us through peaks and troughs, laughter and despair and lots of work. Work that each Submissive must accomplish to get to this part of her path. An honor worked for and not freely given. I have watched Syn blossom into the beautiful, considerate accomplished Sister she has become. Always helpful, considerate, friendly and supportive to the Dominants and everyone in our community
"Syn's Sister workshop, titled “Attentiveness", had us all on the edge of our seats and showed just how attentive we can and cannot be. Then, the event she produced, was stunning. "Around the Jazz" brought out the best in how we can be classy, glamorous and upmarket with beautifully dressed Submissives and exceptionally handsomely attired Dominants. Well done Syn.
"Many of us on the dominant and submissive paths, do experience times, where we slow down 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.
"We thank every one for supporting Roissy Val d'Oise with your presence .. as we celebrate these memories shared on Synnova’s special day ...Congratulations dear Sister Syn!”
Mentoring Maitre of the Sister Final - Maitre Turrner
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 to congratulate our dominants on their ceremony as they move from Doms to Masters to Maitres. 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.
So, when synnova asked me to help her, to be the dominant in charge of her final tasks to complete her path to Sisterhood, I couldn’t have been more flattered. However, I was also a little confused at first, for she and I had never had an intimate encounter, or even a significant conversation. I didn’t quite get it: wouldn’t a girl want a dominant with whom she was already close, to manage this extensive and challenging task?
It surprised me to learn that this was one of the requirements of her task—that the Dominant she paired with , be one who she had not yet served . I had another concern. Although I have been part of the Roissy community for some time, this was my first opportunity to assume this important responsibility.
Take a moment to think about the trials our girls are asked to embrace as part of the path to Sisterhood. It is awe-inspiring. And I was thrilled and humbled at the same time to be honored by her trust to assume such an integral role to lead her through this last critical task.
After some consideration and confirmation of schedules, I agreed, also pleased to be able to contribute and expand my experience as a Maitre of Roissy VDO. But enough about me. Back to the reason we are all here for today. Or, as the French might say: Revenons ‘a nos moutons.
My association with Synnova has been a positive one in every respect. For in addition to the pleasure she gave me during every aspect of our encounters, the deep connection I’ve made with her is a special kind of reward. It was a true honor to be the one to shepherd her through her final tasks.
In negotiations before our encounters (to satisfy the requirements of her task concerning, kinks, limits, and implements) we agreed to explore a list of activities, every one of which made her uncomfortable and apprehensive. This is as it should be. The path to sisterhood is not meant to be easy. Its goal is to strip away all resistance to the pure submissive spirit sparkling deep in a girl’s awareness and aching to shine yet more brightly.
The French would say: Il faut casser le noyau pour avoir l’amande. You have to open the shell to have the nut. It was clear to me that synnova would be appropriately challenged by these choices.
In our scenes, I discovered syn to be an eager and responsive submissive, a very sensitive girl whose openness to feel intensely encouraged me also to feel deeply. And is that not the real reason we are all here: To make connections, to open to each other, and to indulge in the depths and types of feelings that may not be available to us in our other lives?
I found the commitment she brought to her submission and service to be absolute. And because of the totality of the way she opened to me, because of her trust, because of the risks she took, I could not have felt my possession and domination of her more keenly. She is braver and stronger than she knows, and when tested by those things that make her most uncomfortable, she rises to the challenge while sharing her vulnerability.
She is eager and responsive to both firmness and tenderness, to discipline and intimacy, which I think fits in well with our culture here at Roissy .
Throughout our encounters, she maintained a refined awareness and focus that shaped her emotes and reactions. She handled well my unplanned invitation to another dominant to use her during our scene. And she was not distracted by another intimate encounter also taking place in the chateau.
Additionally, Syn’s genuine joy in serving and pleasing colored her roleplay from start to finish. Her last challenge required that she be displayed bound, nude, and blindfolded in the chateau. I was a bit worried that there would be only a few people who would stop by to view her and challenge her discomfort with public exposure. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
More than two dozen of our citizens took the time to come by to see her. They made me proud by the compassion and support they showed for this girl. And syn made me proud as she faced and conquered what was for her the most troublesome of her tasks. When it was time for the crowd of dominants and submissive to leave, they each personally praised synnova with words like “vibrant,” “encouraging,” “wonderful,” “amazing,” “ lovely,” “ Inspiring,” “ beautiful,” and “strong.” And I could not agree more.
Syn 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. Synnova, Je vous trouve magnifique. She has my heartiest recommendation for advancement to the Sisterhood here at Roissy Val d’Oise.
Mentoring Sister - Fae
"Maitres, Masters, Sirs, Mistresses, Misses, Sisters, dems and debs.. famille, honored guests all! Syn is the second of my chicks to reach this stage of her path and I couldn't be more proud. She approached her logs with a fierce determination, overcoming obstacles one by one and not rushing to complete each stage as some have seemed to do.
Her workshop was accomplished with a goodly crowd listening in awe, hanging on her every word and her Sister event showed both her organizational skills and dress making talents , culminating in a dance that was enjoyed by everyone who attended .
Syn asked that I keep my speech short so I have done so. I have every belief in Syn and know she will honor the title she will soon wear."
The Confirment - Maitre Thomas
"Syn has always been a very pleasant and lovely member here at Roissy Val d'Oise." He reaches into his 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. and I mark it with it a scorning system. Its in greek variables that only I would know" so dont bother trying to steal them form me.
“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 April 1, 2016 and interesting day to start a path here, right Syn?
"She then progressed and moved on to the time of her Initiation on June 23, 2016 where she served and was opened by Dominates of Chateau Roissy Val D’ Oise and became known as Demoiselle Syn. Her journey continued as she traveled along wanting to learn and absorb. December 16, 2016, Syn presented an amazing workshop on “Attentiveness”. This sparked the interest of many.
"She continued along next with her well planned Sister Event as she presented the wonderful dance event “Around the Jazz" on January 27, 2017. 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 Turrner, that all was completed and she was worthy of Sisterhood.
"Now today she kneels before us on Saturday March 18, 2017, 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 reaches over and takes Syn's hand, with my left hand digs deep into my pocket searching for the ring before finding the correct one.
Syn swallows hard, not able to think since he began to speak, her hand raising up.
Maitre Thomas with a little relief and a confident smile he finds it. As he inspects it closely seeing the gleaming golden ring sparkle and slides it on Demoiselle Syn’s finger crouching forward as he speaks softly to her, “Congratulations Syn you will inspire many..and I am very proud of you as we all are here today.”
He 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."
Xanadu obeyed and executed his command.
Sister Speech - Sý?nova
Sý? stands, bowing respectfully to Maitre Thomas and Maitre Turrner and smiles to Xanadu , Venna, Juliette and Fae and swallows breathign deep turning on herself
"For you that are here now, a year ago, i landed here in Roissy, no, it wasn't my wish to tp here, as a friend was sending me LMs and it was one of the last she sent to me. I clicked not the one i wished but the one that rezzed. Yes sl gives us such pleasure sometimes, and i came without a friend, wishing a new beginning.
So much time ran since this time, i have loved and cried, i have learned and smiled, i have failed and did stand up sometime with pain but always having grown, not always stronger but always knowing myself better. No doubt Roissy has this effect on all of us.
I did growl on some of you, and i admit i shouldn't have, but i so needed to do it and doing so did help me grow with most of you. You know, being a lone submissive here in Roissy isn't easy, gosh it is not easy at all, having no one you can turn to and speak with, being alone when you go back to your skybox.
Happily i have friends, but not all can be said to be a friend, so , when you are a lone submissive here in Roissy you learn to shut up and you suffer alone... trying to heal.. the best you can... keeping wounds longer and hoping just to see even a fake light in this special person that we all hope and that will log on, facing you like a charming prince and yes this prince can have a crop in unexpectedly ...nods nods ....
I met a lot of different kind of Dominants here, and i even thought i had met the perfect one twice.. till they choose different paths , but one thing is sure , our sisters are skilled and wonderful women... they are examples for us Demoiselles , submissives in growing... you have no idea of what they do endure, what they accept, all the kindness and comprehension they spread around them to make you all feel home and welcome.
Now, with the time, i thank them to have taught me what i know now and i thank deeply Roissy for helping me grow enough now to be able to say this: "A good submissive is a strong one, able to set her feeling aside, even hurt , sad, in pain, she stays one, still open .. and welcoming, here to help and serve."
Thank you, to A/all of you, to E/each of you..And a special thank to Fae, and through her all the Ladies, the amazing Ladies of Roissy, Fae that did see me falling , stumbles, again and again.. that did stand silent but always by my side.. always offering me her help. I thank Fae for who she is and more by how she behaves day after day, she did teach me what a submissive is.. her kind heart, her kind words, her demure dresses always looking perfect in each details of her outfit.. yes Fae.. You did show me a lot not always with words but by he behaviour and by being who you are . She did survive to the angriness flowing out of me.. i did hurt her with my words i know it .. still she never stopped anyways offering me her help. yes your time now Fae to blush. I am just so grateful and happy she is my Mentor, the best i had , as yes i've had 2 mentors.. having make run away the first one.. nods nods.. i am not the most kind mentee... i can be really devilish. So Fae, with all my heart, i deeply thank you.
As i deeply thank A/all of you, i thank Maitre René that i could see up on the roof of the tea house. When i joined Roissy like an angel having a careful gaze of us from there of our environment, I thank Maitre Dusty, Maitre Jonathon, Maitre Nol, Maitre Turrner , Maitre Taylor who i still fear for no good reason, i thank Maitre Thomas for accepting my snow ball shooting and craziness with a large smile each time i felt cheeky .
And i thank ALL of YOU, inhabitant of Roissy who do this sim alive and spirit, who are in a way a part of my familly and my heart. Because today this is YOU that we should celebrate and not me... YOU that do accept to learn and grow , YOU that work all together to help each other to grow and to smile day after day. yes i am proud to be a part of Roissy Val D'oise and into Maitre René Dreams.. i stop speaking now.
Following this, Xanadu spoke as Adjointe of House of Samois, followed by Maitre Thomas' closing speech, at which time, he said, " Come everyone and raise your glass with me in congratulating and welcoming Syn into sisterhood here at Roissy Val d'Oise. It's time to smile and take a bow!“
Congratulations & Welcome into the Sisterhood, Dear Syn!
