#DEPOSITIONS

[evxnmeyers]

The printer hummed, spitting out another stack of evidentiary support for Evan's argument. The printer was well and truly earning employee of the month with the way she had it working. Papers were staked on her desk, on the cabinet, on the floor and although they started out organised, once read and the information obtained they often cascaded to another part of the room. Evan knew she'd have to organise them later, just because everything was tucked neat and tidy inside her brain- did not a case it make. There were procedures and paperwork for a reason and she would have to still file it the old fashioned way and not just in her head. She sighed, fearing she had fallen down a rabbit hole of information that may not be of help to her reading. She discarded the paper in her hand, momentarily giving up before groaning and kneeling to pick them up when a knock drew her attention away. She looked over at her door and gave a small smile, greeting the person at the door with an air of arrogance she couldn't help but portray when someone came to her office for help.

Musings on the "depose" part of "deny, defend, depose":

When I first read those words, my mind, like most people's I think, read "depose" in the sense of "overthrow". Like how you'd depose a king, kicking him out of his position of authority, in a way that may or may not involve him losing his life as well as his power over others.

But when I mentioned it to a friend, that friend brought up that the word has a second meaning that might be relevant here as well.

In the legal field, "depose" is the verb form of "deposition". Deposition itself is one of the ways you can go about getting evidence from somebody. A deposition is when you get someone to swear that they're telling the truth, and you ask them questions, or ask them for explanations, and they have to answer truthfully. Documents might be part of a deposition, but it's not about the documents themselves, exactly; it's about what they mean, the essential truth behind what the documents describe.

(In my line of work, this might be something like, "Does that income amount listed on your court filing include this bonus listed in your bank statements?" but with a lot of questions leading up to that one to establish things like the bonus being from their employer and deposited into their bank account.)

In a way, it's like the cross-examination part of a trial isolated. (Assuming that it's the other side being deposed; it could also be a witness or third party, but almost by definition you only do depositions on a party that isn't your own client in the case.) One side asks the hard questions, and unless those questions break rules, the other side has to answer them. And like cross-examination, if someone's not truthful in a deposition, that can cause them to face all sorts of sanctions for perjury.

Now, it's very probable that the assassin in this case meant the word only in the more commonplace sense of the word, comparing the CEO to a ruler that needs to be removed from power. But when you consider the legal definition of the word, it seems almost like an ultimatum:

Tell the truth about your unjust business practices, or else lose your power to enact them.

Be deposed, or else be deposed.

does mafioso stanley get along just fine with pigeon lee?? are they besties??

They do get along well!

Lee is a regular rock dove, and Fidds is a Mourning Dove :)

Fun fact: This Lee isn't the first Lee! He is, in fact, the 20th or so generation of "Lee" Ford has ever owned. Ford takes care of a lot of pigeons, and unfortunately, not all of them live very long. Pigeons can live up to 15 years if well taken care of, but the average lifespan of street doves is two to three years, due to unhealthy living conditions or other external causes (human related accidents, injury etc...)

Even though Ford really tries his best to treat his pigeons the best he can, sometimes their deaths are out of his control, and it's a little hard to keep them healthy when you live in the streets.

However, the Lee we have now is Ford's longest surviving pigeon, having just reached 10 years of age! It's a huge sign of trust for Ford to let someone else touch Lee. He's very protective!

I come from my twitter feed to present you this (🌽 link). Biblically accurate Soap dick.

Fuck those thick globs of come, the way that he just shoots it all over his fingers.... and he's so fucking thick ugh. Lemme get my mouth on it pleaseeeeee

Doesn't it just make you wanna suck on the tip while he strokes himself? Sitting between his knees and he won't even wrap his fingers around the whole thing, or take off the cock ring that's nestled at the base, so you have no idea if he's even going to come, but he promised you :( so you just have to sit there and suck on the head, sneaking your tongue out to lick at the slide of his foreskin each time he pulls it back, and he told you not to but you can't help yourself! You just want to suck him off but he won't let you, he wants to make you wait as if he isn't the one pawing at your clothes as soon as you walk in the door.

And it's horrible, but at least your jaw doesn't hurt as much as trying to open wide enough to fit that monster into your mouth. And he keeps petting your head with his free hand, making you think he's going to shove you down but he never does, just watches you try so so hard to make him come while he leisurely strokes his cock. Makes you sit there for an hour until you're whining and rubbing your legs together, tempted to pull off just to ask if you can touch yourself even though you know he'll say no :(

So worth it when he finally groans low in his chest and you feel that fat glob of come hit your tongue.

Evan nodded in approval "A PhD? Very impressive. Whats the topic?" she asked. She started walking up the street, the shop they were after was about five mins away if Evan recalled the town maps correctly, they'd take a left at the top of the road and it be the third store along the street. "I'm a lawyer, I run the law firm here in town." She answered. "With everything happening, it certainly keeps me busy"

“Thanks”, Niska smiled. This small encounter was enough to turn her hopeful. What did it say that this community of supernaturals – if it was true – was friendlier than the average person outside the neighbourhood? And what did that suggest about the people at her workplace? She was curious to find out more but such worries were far too personal to be off-loaded onto this stranger. “I actually came to work at the nearby university”, the blonde responded instead. “I’m starting as a PhD next week” And of course, she came to gawk at the supernatural people. And this was a fact too personal to admit, even to herself. “And you?”
