Sunday Surprise

Once I'd turned in my trainee maid application, I logged out of Second Life and headed off to bed. Even though I didn't sleep for very long that night, I felt well rested and more bubbly than usual when I woke up Sunday (07/21/13) morning. I sung in the shower, hummed as I got dressed, and took a couple of skipping steps as I headed out the door. The warm sun seemed to be smiling at me and a gentle wind was caressing my hair as I walked to the supermarket.

After bringing home the groceries and taking care of some other chores, I signed onto Second Life again, and eventually found my way back to the dance club at AYA. To my surprise, a few people seemed to remember me from the night before and welcomed me back. Even though I barely knew anybody there, I felt like I was coming back home.

Time seemed to fly by as I danced (well, my avatar danced, but I was bobbing along in RL as well) and chatted with the others at the club as we listened to some excellent tunes. About halfway through the night, her Grace, Head Governess Kara, called me up to the platform at the far end of the room.

Thinking I might have been drafted into a contest I had missed being announced, I climbed up the steps and stood next to the Head Governess, then did my best not to fidget with nervousness. At first, I wasn't sure I understood correctly when she made an announcement. I scrolled back the text in public chat and looked again. It showed the same thing I thought I saw before.

I'd been accepted as a trainee maid! As people offered their congratulations, her Grace pulled me into a hug. Feeling completely overwhelmed, I started sniffling a bit as I hugged her back. After she let me go, I turned to the people in the club and realized they weren't quite the strangers they had seemed to be at first.

I felt like I was looking at friends ... maybe even more.

The Queen of AYA

After greeting Her Majesty, Queen Talin, ruler of AYA, I'd gone back to dancing. To say I was surprised when she said to approach her would be putting it mildly. My hands were shaking as I made my way through the crowd. Part of that was caused by worry about having done or said something wrong in my greeting, but most of it was simple awe.

I suppose some people might wonder how anyone could be awed by a bunch of pixels. The best explanation I can think of, is that there is some sort of palpable presence about her. This was someone who didn't need to give commands. Her word was more than law, it was what would happen, because she desired it to be so.

I remember her asking me some questions, and answering the best I knew how, but the specifics are a bit of a blur. By the time she had sent be back to dance, it felt like my heart was trying to knock a hole through my ribcage.

I was floating on a cloud of endorphins by the time I found a spot big enough to start a dance animation without bumping into anyone else. The colors of the lights in the dance area seemed more intense, and the music felt more alive than before.

Even after that body chemical rush mellowed and I was more myself again, I still was really enjoying the music and the company, and didn't want it to end. But, like all parties, it eventually did. Once the Queen announce she was leaving, a number of people wished her farewell, then either logged out there or headed off to some other destination.

I was just deciding it might be a good idea to head home myself when the Queen told me to come to her. I stopped at the bottom of the dais, then climbed up when she told me to come closer. Then she told me to kneel before her.

With the way my knees were shaking, it took a bit of will to avoid simply tumbling to the ground. I realize someone reading this might point out that I was most likely sitting at a computer, and they would be right. But, at that moment, the only think I knew was that I was shaking like a leaf while kneeling before royalty.

I really wish I knew all the details of what happened next. It seemed, somehow, the Queen had noticed me, and instructed me to put in an application to be a maid. While I had been toying with the idea earlier, I hadn't gotten up the nerve to do more than think about it.

I could hardly believe the honor she had bestowed on me. I was still kneeling when the audience with her was concluded. Once I realized she was gone, I couldn't remember if the Queen had given me permission to rise, and asked if it was okay.

Someone said it was okay, so I pulled myself to my feet. I was tingling all over, and I'm pretty sure the top of my head would have fallen off if smiled any more. People were congratulating me and telling me what an honor I had received.

At that moment, I felt like the luckiest boi anywhere.

The Beginning

It's been an amazing past few days. My head still feels like it's spinning. It all started this Saturday (07/20/2013) on Second Life. My usual hangouts were either empty, or everybody there was in the middle of IM's with somebody else and wasn't interested in public chat. I was in the mood for exploring, so I opened up the search window and looked up the keyword femboy.

The first few items listed were sex places, which really weren't my thing, so I kept going until I came across the listing for AYA BDSM Sissy Maid Sanctuary. I've sorta had mixed experiences with sissies. For some reason, it seems a fair amount of people expect sissies to all be horny all the time. While I do like affection and intimacy, it's very rare for me to go beyond that, which is why I had stopped referring to myself a sissy a long time ago.

Despite that issue, I've always felt a deep connection with sissies, and decided to head over to AYA to see what it was like there. Like a lot of places in Second Life, some rules for the sim were provided at the landing site when I teleported to the sim. After reading through the notecards, I decided I had enough of a feel for what was acceptable there and walked into what looked like the main building.

It didn't take me long to find a dance party in progress. The music sounded good, plus people were actually talking to each other. Taking that as a good sign that it might be a fun place to hang out, I wandered onto the dance floor and started bopping to the music.

It turned out they were even friendlier than I'd been hoping. Before long, I felt like I was hanging out with family, or at least good acquaintances. I felt a little embarrassed when I guessed the wrong title for the DJ (Governess, not Miss), but overall people were pretty understanding as I tried to get the hang of things.

I'd been there for a fairly long while when I overheard some people mentioning the Queen was there. From reading the notecards earlier, I knew AYA had a queen, but I had sorta imagined her as someone sitting at a throne somewhere than someone I'd actually get to see.

Well, I really only got to see little peeks of her through the crowd. Along with dozens of other people, I offered a greeting to Queen Talin. I had thought that would be the end of my interaction with Her Majesty.

I was wrong.
