Love for Duty’s Sake Part 5

AN: Hello loves! Wow when I tell y’all I was FIGHTING in the editing room with this fic because I couldn’t tell if I should split this in half or not. I ended up just keeping it as one because I felt bad for ignoring democracy (sorry lyric) and posting Anything But Love P2 before I posted this one. A couple of fun facts about this fic because I literally have nowhere else to put them lmfao. In the convo with Griot, the reason Y/N’s argument works on him is because it follows a valid rule within arguments/logic called Hypothetical Syllogism. Basically, If A leads to B and B leads to C then you can correctly assume that A should also lead to C. Google it if you’re interested! Also, in writing Shuri’s interactions (esp the “in my wife's name” parts) it's like very heavily inspired by the way Dracula talks about Lisa Tepes in the Castlevania show!! 

Holy fuck don’t know how I could ever forget this. As always, any of my fake dating stuff is dedicated to the lovely @pinkwright. This is my writer bae y’all have no idea, L4DS and ABL posts are always made with them in mind. 

Summary: As the only daughter of Genelia, there were things you just had to do, and marrying the Queen of Wakanda was one of those things.

Pairing: Shuri x Fem!Reader

Warnings: Cussing, violence, brief mentions of bad relationships with parents that’s it I think.

Word count: 6,213 (you see why I was thinking about splitting it up now??)

Part 1.  Part 2.  Part 3.  Part 4.  Masterlist.  Taglist.

Suggested listening: Glock Six (Bonus) - 6LACK 

“No need to state the obvi', I be close to your heart I know you looking for real love I got my hand on my Glock, posted on the block I might just let off a shot, at anyone tryin' to kill her”

The feeling of your body sliding off of your wife and onto the hospital pillow below you was the first hint that something was off. You knew Shuri didn’t mean to be so rough with you, even if you hadn’t been injured. She just hopped off of the bed quicker than her mind could remember that you were laying back on her. Only when you grimaced slightly did Shuri think enough to look back at you. 

“Ndicela uxolo sthandwa sam (I’m sorry my love).” She muttered to you softly, scanning your body just long enough to ensure that you weren’t really hurt before turning her attention to Aneka. “When was this posted?” 

“Ten minutes ago.” 

Shuri took a deep inhale, rereading the post. “How did she even know about the shooting to post?” 

The question was impossible for Aneka to answer, knowing something like that wasn’t necessarily in her job description. You, however? You were used to political moves like this. “She knows because the shooting happened in her city Shuri.” 

“What?” Shuri turned to face you.

“I’m just saying, if something goes down in the Golden City, you’re made aware right? The same thing goes for DC. Especially on a day like today, foreign powers come into town. I’m sure she was all over it.” As you spoke, wheels started turning in your head, the scenario surrounding the events of your shooting. Everything was almost too perfect like it had been orchestrated. 

“Listen to what you just said Y/N, I’m notified when something happens in the Golden City, not you. So why would she be the one posting about this instead of the President?” Shuri’s tone was harsher than you would have liked, posing the question to you as if you were a child misunderstanding basic math. 

You sat up in your bed. “Because President Carter isn’t leading the show, Mallory is.” 

“Why would you say that?” 

“Because I know it’s true.” You folded your arms across your chest, starting to get annoyed at Shuri’s refusal to see what was clearly right in front of her. “Do you not trust me?” 

The question was loaded and the Queen’s response came instinctually, “The question is not if I trust you, we are married of course I trust you. But you make it increasingly harder to trust you when you put forth ideas like that.” Shuri mimicked your position, crossing her arms over herself. 

Her response stung and the look on your face made Shuri regret saying it immediately. “I did not mean-” 

You cut Shuri off, not wanting to hear what she had to say. “Nope. You said it. What do I know anyway? Not like I come from a family of politicians who would make this exact same move given the chance.” You turned your attention from where Shuri and Aneka stood back to the tv, effectively disengaging from the conversation. 

Warning signals were going off in Shuri’s head and she knew she fucked up. Taking one more look at the screen she made her way back over to your bed. Kneeling next to you and taking your hand in hers. “I am sorry, sthandwa sam. (my love) I didn't mean to brush off your idea like that.  Your attention still faced forward but the Queen could feel the race in your heart rate when her thumb traced over the lines of your knuckles. 

The silent treatment you were giving Shuri was frustrating her, if she had just slowed down as Okoye said, she would've thought about what she was saying before she said it. “I promise I will make it up to you-”

The buzz of Shuri’s kimoyo beads pulled her attention away from you and her apology. 

Speak of the devil and she shall appear.

It was a message from Okoye letting her know that they had all made it back safely to Wakanda and that Liam Drockers was in the lower-level interrogation rooms. Aneka must’ve gotten a similar message from Ayo because when she made eye contact with Shuri, she gave her a knowing nod as she left the room. 

“I will make this up to you… when I am free again.” The end of the sentence tumbled slowly out of Shuri’s mouth, knowing it was going to garner a reaction from you. 

“What?” Instead of your voice sounding angry like the Queen had expected, it almost sounded more hurt or scared. This new tone pulled at Shuri’s heartstrings. “You’re leaving?” 

While yes, you were literally just ignoring Shuri ten seconds ago, you hadn’t expected her to just up and leave like that. Especially given how physically close you two had spent the last hour, part of you had grown attached to her in a way you never imagined possible. Addicted to the safe feeling that only seemed to come when you were in her arms. 

“I have some council business I have to take care of.” Her rubbing of your hands still hadn’t stopped, tracing every detail of your knuckles. 

You looked at her now, teeth biting at your bottom lip. “What do you have that’s so important?” 

“Just some time-sensitive stuff I need to handle. It should be quick, I don’t imagine it will be long.” Her eyes were averted, so you had no read on what possible clues they could be conveying. Something about this bothered you, normally she was so demanding of your eye contact and now she wasn’t even looking up. But you knew Shuri, whatever this was she wasn’t going to give up easily. You needed something to garner her attention first before you asked her what you needed to know. 

“I think I’m gonna call home.” Shuri’s eyes instantly flashed up to yours.

“Really?”

“I think so, I don’t want my family worrying about me, you know? I don’t want them thinking I’m dead or anything. Now that Mallory has so kindly let the world know about this.” 

Shuri hummed in response, debating asking the question at the forefront of her mind. “I thought- I mean, I didn’t know you had a way of contacting them.” 

This made you feel a little bit guilty since you had made it seem like you’d given Genelia up for good. “It's a direct line to my father's advisor, only for emergency purposes.” Your eyes flickered around her face. “I’ve never used it, I didn’t think I’d have to.” 

Shuri felt assured in hearing this, the slight worry that had slipped into her mind about you secretly planning to leave her dissipated. “Oh, okay.” She savored these last few minutes of her hand tracing yours, knowing that soon those same hands who held yours so delicately would be used in the complete opposite manner. 

“Shuri?” The way you called her name was soft, the same way you had in the restaurant before all of this had happened. It made her feel warm inside, lowering her guard just as you intended. 

Her response once again was just a hum, her eyes studying every detail of your face the way her hands did yours. 

“You wouldn’t lie to me right?” Your question caught her off guard but her rubbing never stopped. 

“Kakade hayi, sithandwa sam. (Of course, not my love)” Her eyes conveyed no sign of lying so you continued. 

“So it’s really council business that's so pressing you have to take care of it right now? Not anything to do with me?” You asked the question confidently, not taking your eyes off Shuri, searching for a tell. Anyone else would have missed it but you didn’t, the brief second when Shuri’s movements faltered. When her hand stopped rubbing yours. 

“Yes.” 

“Yes, what?” 

She stood up now, letting go of your hand. Being at eye level with you was too much right now, it felt too connected given the fact that she was literally lying to your face. “Yes, it’s council business like I told you before. Very time sensitive.” Before you could respond she spoke again. “Aneka!” 

The Dora appeared in the door frame with lightning speed, “Yes, ngangamsha (your majesty)?” 

“Guard Y/N’s side of the ward while I deal with this business, make sure no harm comes to her.” Shuri’s words were confident and her arms now crossed her chest signifying her demeanor change. 

“Shuri, I don't need a babysitter, I’m fine.” You protested. “Plus Aneka has yet to see Ayo, let them see each other.” 

“I am fine, my Queen. Thank you for your kindness but ensuring your safety is more important.” Aneka responded quickly, earning a nod of agreement from Shuri. 

Your wife looked down at her kimoyo beads. “I’ll be back in an hour, mfazi (wife).” Placing a kiss on your forehead, she looked down at you one more time before she left. “No trouble while I’m gone?” 

“I’ll try my hardest.” You replied as she walked out of the room, Aneka behind her taking her spot guarding your room. 

This left you alone with your thoughts and while a million things were running around your mind there were two prominent thoughts. One being, your wife was lying to you. 

You couldn't be a hundred percent sure about exactly what she was lying about but you knew it had something to do with you. While you wanted to snoop around and try and figure it out, the second of the thoughts found its way to the forefront of your mind. Having to call you family. 

Looking around you found your physical phone, the one that Shuri still referred to as ‘primitive technology’. Scrolling until you found the contact you didn’t think you’d ever have to press. Saying a prayer you pressed call and hoped for the best. 

The line rang only one time before the person picked up. “This isn’t some sick joke, you’re really calling me?” 

“Marcos, I told you I’d only call you in an emergency. I wouldn't play a joke like this.” 

You could hear him recite a prayer on the other end of the line. “Everyones worried sick about you Y/N, I mean your parents think you’re…” His voice trailed off and it made your heart hurt thinking about the stress this whole situation inadvertently caused your family. 

“I know, I know, that’s why I called. Can you just tell them that I’m alright? It’s nothing to worry about and I’ll be fine?” 

Marcos contemplated your words, “Y/N, your father will kill me if he finds out I spoke to you without giving him the opportunity.” 

The sound of movement from the other end of the line had you concerned. “Marcos wait, you know I don’t want to speak to them.” It was a useless plea and you knew it. As much as Marcos cared about you like you were his own daughter and wished to protect you as such. At the end of the day, he worked for your father. 

“I’m sorry mon papillon (my butterfly)” The term of endearment did little to quell the feeling of betrayal as Marcos moved to give the phone to your father. 

“Whoever it is Marcos, tell them they will need to call later, I am grieving my daughter.” 

“It is about Y/N, sir.”

Your father looked between his advisor and the phone before picking it up. 

“Yes?” This was the first time you had heard your father's voice in years. It had become too painful to go back and watch old home videos from before Yara’s death so part of you wondered if you’d forgotten what he sounded like. But as soon as his deep voice bellowed through the phone, you remembered. 

“Dad? It’s me.” You were scared to speak the words at first, questioning how he would react. 

“Y/N, is that you? Oh my god! Josiah, get your mother from the chapel, our baby is alive!” The outcry from your father made your heart hurt, had he been that concerned?

“Dad-” You tried to speak but his rambling cut you off. 

“When we saw the news honey we were so worried about you, I thought you had died. But you didn’t! God brought you back!”

“Dad-”

 “He’s bringing you back home to us!” He ended his rejoicing when you finally spoke up. 

“Babba! What are you talking about?” Your pain medication must have been making you delirious and mishear things. 

“What do you mean Y/N, this is a sign! You were almost taken from Genelia, from us. We need to come together and give thanks that you’re still with us.” Your father's words were confusing you, why was he saying that you were taken from them as if they weren't the same ones to send you away? 

“I’m not coming home Dad, I was just calling to let everyone know I was okay-”

“Nonsense!” Your mother spoke now, you weren't aware when she arrived in the room. “You must come home, we miss you. This was a wake-up call, don’t you think?” 

You paused now and took a deep breath. What they were asking was encroaching on a boundary you had set the day you left Genelia. To never come back. “I just, I don’t think it’s a good idea guys.”

It was now your parent's turn to pause while they thought about what they could say to change your mind. But it wasn’t them that spoke, instead it was a different voice. One that clearly held the tonal characteristics of a man but was still slightly squeaky signifying they hadn’t fully finished maturing. 

“So you’re just never gonna come back? Is that it then?” If it wasn’t for your father's words earlier you wouldn’t have even been able to guess who it was. But of course, it was your little shadow who spoke up now. Josiah. 

“Siah-”

“No, you don’t get to call me that anymore. My sister, who loved me and didn’t just get up and abandon her family for a fancy new life in France, called me that. I don’t know who you are.” 

Josiah’s words cut through you like the sharpest blade known to man, cutting deeper than any slick comment from Shuri. Is that really what he thought happened? That you left your family behind to go chase your dreams in a foreign country? 

You didn’t care about your parents, quite frankly fuck them. Any emotional ties you felt towards them had long left you, so saying no to them while it was hard; it didn’t hurt. Saying no to Josiah though? Hearing the disappointment in his voice? He didn’t deserve this. To be caught in the crosshairs of the relationship between you and your parents. 

“Fine!” 

“Fine?” Your mother and father's voice asked in unison. 

“Fine, I will come back to Genelia to visit.” 

“Tomorrow?” Josiah’s voice questioned.

“Tomorrow? Siah I just got shot.” You tried to reason with your brother, and while you didn’t feel any of the effects of the shooting at this exact moment you still didn’t know if traveling so soon would be wise. Plus you still needed to explain this all to Shuri. 

“You’re married to the smartest woman in the world and live in the most technologically advanced country. I’m sure they can figure something out.” Josiah left no room for argument in his sentence. 

“Fine Siah, I will come to Genelia for a few days, flying in tomorrow. Happy?” You didn’t even understand why you were agreeing to this. 

“Not in the slightest, I have no idea who you are anymore. I did that for Mom and Dad.” 

That hurt more than Josiah knew. You tried to tell yourself that he didn’t mean it, but something in you couldn't believe it. 

“Okay well, I’ve got to go. I’ll um talk to Marcos about arrival times and everything.” You needed this phone call done, the gravity of what you had just agreed to started to weigh on you. 

“Parfait! We can’t wait to see you soon Y/N. We love you!” You could hear the smile in your father's voice and felt guilt not only that you didn’t feel the same happiness but that you couldn’t reciprocate his “I love you” truthfully.  

“Yeah I um, I’ll see you guys soon.” With that you ended the call, throwing your head back against the pillow. 

As you sat in silence you digested what had just happened.

1. You called Marcos, just to let him know that you were alive. 

2. You ended up on a phone call with your parents, speaking to them for the first time in years. 

3. After declining to come to Genelia, you were guilt-tripped into returning by your little brother. Not because he wanted to see you but because he knew his parents wanted to.

All of this made your head reel and you longed for the peace and comfort that your wife provided. But she wasn’t here with you, her wife who had just been shot. Instead, she was dealing with council business.

“Griot.” 

“Ah your majesty, I am glad you are in good health again. What can I do for you?” 

You paused wondering if Griot was even able to give you this information. “Where is Shuri right now?” 

“Shuri has programmed me to not disclose her location to anyone unless it is an emergency, I am sorry your majesty.” 

Of course Shuri had done so, always wanting to keep tabs on everyone but not thinking anyone else needed to keep them on her. You wanted to give up before an idea popped into your head. “Griot, Shuri programmed me into your system as a Queen, correct?” 

“Yes your majesty, she has programmed you with the same clearance as she has.” 

Jackpot. 

“And Shuri has access to her location status I would assume?” 

“Yes, your majesty.” 

“Great, so she has access to her location status, and I have the same clearance level as her/  You can give me her location.” Your reasoning was solid, creating a logical path that the AI could follow. 

“Yes, your majesty, that does appear to be correct. One moment please.”Success. “Queen Shuri is in the basement, interrogation room one.” 

“Interrogation room one?” You asked Griot again, you didn’t even know the palace had a single interrogation room, let alone multiple. 

“Yes, the Queen has been in that room since she left you in the hospital wing.” 

So she had been lying to you. 

“Thank you, Griot, that will be all.” 

There was no doubt in your mind that this had something to do with your shooting and that Shuri thought she was doing good by you by keeping you away from all of it. Trying to shield you from more pain. But that wasn’t what you asked for, it was what she decided you needed. 

You touched your abdomen, trying to gauge your pain level. As Josiah had said, you were in the most technologically advanced country so truly your recovery wouldn’t take more than a few days. Right now, you felt good enough to hobble out of bed and make it out of your room. 

Shuri wanted to lie to you? Fine. But you were going to go down to the basement to figure out exactly what she was up to.  

You made it no more than five feet out of your room before a body in front of you haltered your progress. 

“What are you doing out of bed ngangamsha (your majesty)? You should be resting.” Aneka’s concerned look surprised you. While you knew it was her job to protect you, you saw a twinge of genuine concern in her eyes. 

“She lied to me Aneka.” You took a step to the side and then forward so she was no longer in your path. The dull twinge of pain let you know that this might be more difficult than your first few steps had made it appear, nonetheless you were going to make the journey. 

“Intoni? (What?)” 

“Shuri lied to me. She told me she had council business to take care of, but she didn’t. She’s downstairs in the basement right now. So I’m going down there to see what could be so important that she felt the need to lie to me.” You continued your walk towards the elevator pleasantly surprised that Aneka didn’t appear to try and stop you. 

You took a few more steps before suddenly something pressed against the back of both of your knees, causing you to lose your balance. Falling back right into… a chair? Aneka stood above you, her hands on the handle of the wheelchair that she had just gently gotten you into. “I am not condoning you doing this, however, I know I can not stop you.” 

You nodded, grateful to hear that. 

“But,” Of course there was something. “I will not let you rip your stitches hobbling down there.” 

A smile passed across your face and a similar one came to Ankea’s. 

“Plus, I can talk to you while we make our way down there. I should fill you in, it is for the best.” Aneka pushed you forward as she began to explain just who was awaiting you in the basement. 

While you two made your way down, Shuri, Ayo, Okoye, and your assailant were deep into their interrogation session. 

To Shuri’s credit, she tried to be diplomatic about the whole situation. When she first walked into the room and saw Liam Drockers sitting down with Ayo and Okoye on either side of him, she imagined what her brother would say to her. 

“Patience sisi.” He would say. “Regardless of what he has done, he is deserving of a fair questioning, the same as you and me.” 

And she tried to take T’Challa’s advice, asking Liam simple questions at first.

“Are you an employee of Judas’s Ice Cream shop?” 

No response.

“Are you working for the United States government?” 

No response. 

“Were you aware the person you shot was the Queen of Wakanda, Y/N Y/L/N Udaku?”

A small smile creeped up on Liam’s face after she finished speaking, but still, he said nothing. This infuriated her and she was about ready to cast this whole morally right thing to the side and get the information she needed through more direct means. 

But then her mother's voice came into her head. “Do not let him remove you from yourself intomba (daughter).”

The Queen calmed herself, “I asked you a question. Were you aware the person you shot was  Y/N Y/L/N Udaku, the Queen of Wakanda?” 

While Liam's eyes had largely remained on the floor he pulled them up to her now, showing off the bored look they held. “I didn’t miss, did I?” 

Shuri’s heartbeat increased, so he knew what he was doing. This was a planned attack on her wife? He knew who she was and still chose to take the shot?

“You still thinkin’ bout showin this fool mercy?” No. That was the one voice she didn’t want to listen to. 

Okoye saw the look and Shuri’s eyes and when their gaze finally met, a wave of concern washed over her. She was losing Shuri to this. 

Okoye’s suggestion for a break is what brought them outside, Shuri pacing up and down the hallway trying to decide how to move forward. 

“Is it really that hard of a decision little cuz?” 

“Shut up.” She spoke out loud. Ayo looked over to Okoye wondering if they should step in but Okoye shook her head, hoping that whoever Shuri was speaking to would provide the young girl some clarity. 

“I’m just saying what you’re really thinking here. I mean he shot ya wife, you really cool with letting that slide?” 

“I am not ‘letting it slide’, I’m going about it the diplomatic way N’Jadaka. Something I know you know nothing about.”

Erik laughed at that “Aww shit little panther got some bite to her huh? But you’re right I don’t know shit about the diplomatic way, what I do know however is how to get results, quickly. It’s cool though, give this mother fucker the time and respect he didn’t give to your wife. I’m sure that’s smart.” 

His last comment drew Shuri over the edge. Done with the conversation and confident in her decision, she made her way back over to the door where Ayo and Okoye awaited her. She knew the decision she had come to was harsh but the only thing on her mind was ensuring your safety and getting to the bottom of this. 

“If you do not want to stay for the next part of the interrogation, I am not ordering either of you too. This is the time now to back out of this, without any blood on your hands.” She thought for a moment about how literal her figure of speech was about to become. “Ngokunzulu (Seriously).” 

Okoye looked Shuri up and down. It was in moments like these that she no longer saw the young girl she had watched grow up over the past ten years. The youthful glow had faded over and now left Shuri with a hard exterior that seemed to be ever-present. “Are you sure this is what you want to do ikumkani wam (my queen)?” Okoye offered this out to Shuri now, one shot to think clearly about her decision.

“A hundred percent.” Was Shuri’s simple reply. 

That’s how they ended up here, Ayo holding Liam’s cuffed arms behind his back while Shuri issued blow after blow to his abdomen, turning him effectively into a human punching bag. 

“You done with the games now Liam?” A punch landed on his stomach. “Are you ready to say something and give me the information I need to know?” 

The whole ordeal hurt Okoye to watch but she understood why Shuri had shifted to such drastic means, it was only out of necessity. 

Liam gathered his breath as Shuri removed the jacket she’d been wearing, leaving her in a compression shirt. “No words Liam, really?” She cracked her knuckles and delivered two more blows, one after the other. “That’s okay I’m sure soon enough you will.” 

He shifted in Ayo’s arms for a few seconds for spitting the blood that had pooled in his mouth down at Shuris feet, giving her a defiant stare. 

A smirk rose to Shuri’s face as she looked at the few drops of blood that had gotten on her sneakers. “You know Liam, I had been holding back in the name of my wife. I’ll tell you a secret since, quite frankly, the likelihood of you making it out of Wakanda to repeat this is slim to none. I don’t know much about my wife, we do not have the most conventional marriage so the real things I can say I know about her are few and far in between. But what I do know about my lovely Y/N, she hates violence and views it as the very last play in the book. Convinced me not to kill a spider once just because she said it wasn’t necessary.” 

Shuri smiled at the silly memory of you cussing her out at home when she tried to kill a spider instead of releasing it outside. 

“So, in her name, I haven't been using any of my enhanced strength. This,” She points to the purple bruises that had started to form on the skin of his stomach. “It's all me. But, since you want to be disrespectful and spit blood on my shoes, we’re giving all that up.” Quicker than anyone in the room could have seen, Shuri put her hands up and delivered a devastatingly strong blow to his stomach. Providing enough force that even Ayo had to take a step back to steady herself and absorb some of the shock of the blow. 

You watched in horror from the other side of the glass in the interrogation room as Liam doubled over in pain, gasping for air. Aneka and yourself had been in the room just long enough to watch him spit blood on your wife's shoes. 

“Now, we’re going to try this again.” Shuri started with the same line of questions from before. “Are you working for the United States government?” 

Once Liam pulled himself together, he gave the Queen no answer, just continuing his stare of contempt. 

Shuri chuckled, “Again then? Okay.” She let out another punch, Ayo being more prepared this time held Liam’s body tight. 

“She’s gonna kill him Aneka.” You spoke quietly from the wheelchair as you watched the whole ordeal take place. “We can’t let her kill him, that’s not her.” 

Aneka nodded, “But there is nothing we can do right now my Queen. Ayo and Okoye are in there with her, they will not let it go too far.” 

“I need to get in there.” Shuri wasn’t going to listen to Ayo or Okoye, you didn’t even know if she was going to listen to you. But as far as you were concerned this had already gone far enough. You started moving your wheelchair towards the door but Aneka stopped you. 

“Your majesty I cannot let you in there, bringing you down here was a breach of protocol enough. To have you in there would just be a blatant disregard for the Queen’s wishes.” Aneka declared. 

Both of your attention was brought back to Shuri and Liam when she hit him in the same spot again, leading him to cough up more blood. 

“You go in there and bring my wife out to me or I go in there and bring her out myself. Two choices, you pick.” You folded your arms like a child, waiting for Aneka’s response. 

She looked into the interrogation room and back to you. “Bast you two are perfect for each other. Stubborn just alike.” 

With that she left you, walking out and knocking before entering the other room. 

“ikumkani wam,” She interjected, pulling Shuri’s attention from the man and onto the Dora. 

“What is it Aneka, I am busy.” Shuri looked at her impatiently. 

“uY/n ulapha kwaye angathanda ukuthetha nawe (Y/N is here and would like to talk to you).” Aneka switched to their mother tongue so Liam couldn’t understand what they were saying. 

Shuri’s face faltered for a second. You were here? How long had you been watching? How much had you seen? “I am in the middle of an inter-” 

The sound of you banging on the wall to indicate you didn’t care what she was doing cut Shuri off. She looked at Liam before speaking to Ayo and Okoye. “Put him down, I will be back shortly.” In a second Shuri was out of the room and opening the door to the other side of the interrogation room, meeting your icy gaze. 

“What are you doing out of bed sithandwa sam (my love)?” Shuri’s concern was real, raking her eyes over your body. 

“You lied to me.” You weren't wasting time tip-toeing around the subject, 

“I was protecting you.” Shuri’s justification came quickly, as she took a step closer to you. The light illuminated her face better now and you were able to see the small spots of blood that had splattered on her face. 

Against your better judgment, you called her closer to you “Come here.” She obliged kneeling so you two were at eye level, mimicking the position you two had been in this morning. You reached to hold her face in your hand, wiping the small dots of blood away with your thumb. “You lied to me,” You said again looking into her eyes. 

“I was trying to-” Shuri tried again to explain this to you but you cut her off with a gentle tap to her lips with your free hand. 

“I know you were trying to protect me Shuri, but I am your wife. You can’t lie to me.” The look in your eyes conveyed the seriousness of your comments. 

The excuses started to form in Shuri’s mouth but she stopped them. “I- I know and I’m sorry. I should have told you what I was doing.” She let her head rest in your hand and averted her eyes down, fiddling with the material from your hospital gown. 

“Yes, you should have.” While your words were harsh, the tone and way you caressed her face let her know you weren't really mad with her. 

“Let me make this right umfazi (wife).” Shuri declared sitting up so she looked you in the eyes once again. “The man, his name is Liam Drockers he-” 

“I already know Shuri.” You smiled at your wife who looked at you cluelessly. “Aneka filled me in on our way down here, I know everything. I want to speak with him.” 

Shuri pulled out of your grasp now, appalled you would even ask something like that. “Absolutely not Y/N, there is no logical reason to risk your life by putting you in there with him.”

“First there is no risk to my life, not only is he handcuffed but Ayo and Okoye will be in there with us. Second Shuri, you owe me. This has everything to do with me and you tried to keep it from me, I deserve at least one chance to speak with him. Alone.” You were confident in your rebuttal, Shuri tried to find a counterargument for every point you made but she couldn't. 

“Five minutes with Okoye, Ayo, and Aneka inside with you.” Shuri brought her demands to the table and you thought about it for a second. Was she seriously that worried for your safety that she thought you needed three Dora’s in there with you and a restrained and beaten man? 

“Deal.” 

With that Shuri wheeled you out of the viewing area and to the interrogation room. Aneka held the door open and your wife pushed you through the entryway, stopping at the frame per your request. 

“Oh yeah and pack a bag, we’re going to Genelia tomorrow.” You shut the door leaving your very confused wife on the other side. You two were going where? 

In front of you sat a very bruised Liam Drockers, Ayo, and Okoye on his sides You always found it so funny how no matter how big or bad someone seemed, at the end of the day they were made of flesh and bones just like you. 

Wheeling up to the table you sat and stared at your attacker for a moment. Trying to search for something you were never going to find, a reason or justification. 

“Alright, Liam I’m going to make this very easy for you.” You interlaced your fingers and let them sit on the table, this is where you shined. “In the other room, my wife is waiting with bated breath for me to tell her it's okay to come in here and continue to beat the living shit out of you. Now me personally, as you heard before, I’m not a fan of violence. I think it's an unnecessary evil of the world, something we really can function without.” You paused letting out a chuckle. “Not that I think that you believe the same,” You gestured down to your stomach. “You clearly favor my wife when it comes to that way of thinking.” 

Liam's eyes moved all over you, attempting to size you up as a threat. 

“So, now that you know that much about me, let me tell you how this is going to work. Either A. we can make this super simple, you answer every question I have and agree to the plan we have in place. Or, I call my wife back in here and she beats you to a pulp.” 

A wheezing breath came from your attacker and you couldn’t help but notice how weak he looked now, the beating from Shuri having done a good chunk of damage. “I’m not sayin shit, I know my rights.”

You smiled at this, leaning closer to him. “Your rights? You think your rights will protect you here?” The look on Liam’s face changed for a split second, his facade slipping. “You’re in the basement interrogation room of the most technologically advanced country in the world because you shot one of their Queens. You were flown in on a top-secret jet, there's no record of you ever even being in Wakanda. Nobody knows you’re here.” 

“That’s- that’s not true.” Liam stammered out. “There are people out there who know who I am, who are looking for me.” 

This got the heartiest laugh from you yet. “Mallory? Really? You think she’d save you?” The idea he was pushing was almost comical. “You were a gun for hire, you served your purpose and now there's nothing left for you to do, you were disposable from the beginning. Do you seriously believe she’d risk a national incident to save one measly hit man?” 

The truthfulness of your words hit Liam like a ton of bricks, there was no getting out of this. 

“So,” You began. “I’ll ask the question my wife has been trying to ask. What the fuck was your mission and who do you report to.” 

Liam shifted in his chair, looking around the room as he assessed his situation. “It all started with Mallory.”

Hello! İ was curious and wanted to ask: have played/know persona 2? i wanted to know your opinion on it! :D (esp since p5 and p2 are *very* similar lmao)

Persona 5 is the first game i played in the series, and the only one! I bought persona 4 golden during the black friday sale, so im gonna be playing that, but i dont have plans to play the other ones quite yet.

Hi hi, I don't live in US, I was wondering how is Kcon a scam? lol elaborate on your experience if you can please, and you're an infj? :o

YEAH, I am infj hehe & I’ll elaborate my experience and knowledge of kcon (?)  but this is purely my opinion lol

so tbh, kcon is a scam if you’re only there to see one group lmao but if you’re there to see multiple groups and enjoy the korean culture + food + art + music, then you’re fine… but everything is still expensive nonetheless

I went to kcon 2014 with my cousin and we got in for 10 bucks, now it’s 35.99 for pretty much the same shit + just a few more panels and indoors

parking is EXPENSIVE IN DTLA (AND DANGEROUS BC YOUR CAR WILL GET SCRATCHED LMAO) + PLANE TICKET IF YOU’RE FLYING OUT + hotel/airbnb for 4-5 whole days….

the concert is pretty cool except the fact that its separated into 2 days, so if one group you wanna see is on sat. and the other on sun. YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR BOTH DAYS LOL (and if you get GA tickets you’re gonna have to camp for GOOD seats… prices on the website just check it out lol)

artist engagements: ALL CHANCE, and people will hike up the engagements to 300-500 for popular groups (when it’s only like 70-120 ish original price) — just bc it’s chance and you can get a group that you’re completely unfamiliar with

so many people… so I was there for skz, and other people were too, but since kcon is a easier to get than a tour with a capped amount of tickets, ppl flood convention for free events like star live talk & cheap audience tickets [you don’t see shit unless ur hi-touch (skz was hiked to $400) or diamond/platinum]

fyi, diamond and platinum cost 800-1000, might as well pay for a tour ticket to see ur ult group and get benefits for it

FOOD OMFG, EXPENSIVE LOL, I had to go to ktown for cheap kbbq and corndogs

events do clash, like ateez and skz, so choose one :(

fans are crazy, esp for boy groups… I have a bruise on my leg because they will push forward when they arrive (which does slightly ruin the experience) & I can say this bc I work events and there are a lack of security guards at the stage at kcon… not that professional :/

everyone is nice for the most part and you do get freebies from booths, but there are lines… so essentially the freebies do make up for the 35.99 convention (? kinda ?) but if you’re camping there or solo stanning a group, THERE AINT NO TIME TO GET FREEBIES CUZ YOU BE IN LINE

the concert is super fun tho !!! cuz music is amazing and the artists go so hard… but if you ult a group, they only go for 15-20 mins lmao… so not worth even if you pay 80 + tax (cheapest, far away seats)

you get so drained after one day… but there are 3 more days !!!

either way your wallet will get drained, bc everything is lowkey a chance and remember, other people are also fighting for them front row spots to see their group, but if you’re a casual stan and there to vibe, then it should be fine… but all freebies have lines and you have to follow on social media, sign up for emails, kinda long-winded but that’s just business lmao

this is just my opinion as a college student who saves money, the only reason I went was cuz I live in LA and skz :( last year my friend offered me free p2 tickets and I rejected lol

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

Really, the main reason why I want Q2 released/made after 5R is that we have a COMPLETE party here. We have Sumi and Goro and the unhinged Goro to boot. A good B plot would be Goro hiding his "true self" and be reliant on his "media self" during the duration and he'd only be comfortable to the thieves to show the side of himself. Although that might've fall on its ass considering unhinged Goro doesn't care at all. but that's just me.

Tbh that’s fair! I’m fine if they ~shake shake, shake the formula, shake your body now~! 8U But really it’d def shake the formula up (that formula being something established with PQ1 and reinforced with PQ2: 1) cast bonding is mostly happy fun times, 2) it’s set at a point in the story where everyone is on the team, 3) no one has any 2nd awakenings...mostly an issue for P3 tbh)

I totally get wanting Sumi and a more “true” Goro on the team tbh. But it’d def mess with the trend above (at least 3rd Semester!Goro). 1) It’d be in the season of 3 tiers, 2) He DEF would ruin the mood and P3/4 casts would probs hate him (P4 for the murders, and P3......probs cause of a similar thing, tho his dynamic with Ken would be interesting), 4) would mess with the level balance/cast (do we have P3/4 stay were they are? if we move further then Shinji’s not there and we have to deal with their 2nd tiers and how would we make them stronger? tbh P3 is the bigger issue)

I think a good B plot would be more of the P3/4 casts trying to figure out why he’s a bit of an ass/he feels so different from the other group....but I can def see it going south once they realize the truth (sad back story, but his unadulterated flagrant disregard to other’s lives so he could pursue his own revenge is not gonna sit pretty with the rest of the team, esp these guys)

Mitsuru would be disgusted, probably being reminded of her grandfather and other scientists similar flagrant disregard of life.

Shinji (if there obvie) for disgusted at how he doesn’t seem to care, or didn’t care to a certain point.

Ken for a similar horror, considering Ken just wanted revenge on Shinji w/o anyone else getting hurt, and would then “take responsibility” with his own life.

Yukari would probs be reminded of the Kirijou group

P4 cast would be disgusted for going through a similar maniac’s scheme (with varying visural reactions, esp Yosuke/Naoto tbh)

Bonus: Naoto, Yosuke, Kanji would have an extra horrified thought of being compared to him if they had already had the Namatame scene.

Like I’d be fine with that, give Goro a kick in the ass he deserves. But it’d def ruin the mood and relationship with the PT. It might work better with the P1 cast tbh, esp since Sumi can bond with Maki and Goro could bond with Reiji. Not saying the P1 cast is better than the other casts, but it’s probs would be easier to find more sympathy with them than the other’s (not sure about P2, but I don’t think P2IS will def have happy thoughts being around another insane politician’s murderous son). 

Then again, P3/4 cast were pretty chill with Sho (considering P3 should be reminded of Strega with him)....but despite Sho saying “I’ll kill you” (and possibly one attempt on Naoto’s life) I don’t.....really think he has a kill count? klsjadfkjaf Ironic, but he didn’t have blood on his hands and they calmed him down and he really was super messed up in the head (thanks to the Kirijou group). Sho is a no harm no foul, while Goro and Strega (-oh sorry my notes say just Takaya and Jin, sorry forgot Chidori gets a pass >.>) fouled hard so lots of harm so maybe Sho’s not an exception. 

So like...that’s stuff to consider if they want to do a P3/4/5 late game crossover but if they could stick it I’m down. 8U

But yeah I think, unless they REALLY wanted to buck all the formula to high heaven, I think a P1x(3rd Semester based)!P5 would work the best (at least to not completely ruined some of the good fun times mood, and the late game thing wouldn’t be as bad). 

[thebeautyis]

"There is def something missing from JC. We need tongue." Omg how true?! What makes it worse is the absolute lack of chemistry between SS/RR. It's almost like you need a JC palate cleanser after watching Broger. I didn't think S409 was right for JC sexy times. It was right to focus on them as parents which is not to say parents can't be sexy but a love scene mixed in may have detracted from it. That being said, it's been what almost 3/4 of the season and only 1 love scene? 1 FTB? I can't get--p1

P2-- over how Bree's rape got near equal air time as JC sex scenes this season. Not for a show that revolves around JC that set precedence as being the sexiest show on TV. Fans made it clear we don't want to see just any sex. Broger feedback was vocal. We want J/C. S4 is supposed to be about JC/domesticity. Cute JC moments were okay for S409 but if we don't get another JC sex scene before S4 ends that's utter bs. OL&Co need to check themselves for S5 or stop false advertising reg how sexy OL is.

YES YES YES YES YES!!! I’ve loved seeing all these people, esp those who are in the media, speak out about the way OL treats sexual violence. I don’t know if it’ll change anything but I’d like to think/hope it will. 

I’d like to say I’m excited for the rest of the season but honestly I don’t give a flying fuck about Roger and have mixed to negative feelings about Brianna so the only thing that would save it for me is Jamie and Claire. They have 4 episodes left to sort of redeem themselves (and no way will 4 eps fully make up for 8 mediocre to horrible ones) and given the way they’ve handled the first 8 or 9, I don’t really have high hopes for any cute Jamie and Claire moments coming up. I sort of wish they’d just call it quits on 5 and 6 🤷🏻‍♀️. Save Sam and Cait, ffs.

I decided to make a post about where different Persona games fall overall in terms of how much I love them with explanation so I can look back on it after the new spin offs and the like come out/possible redirect people to this if they ask why game a is above game b.

Order of Persona Games based on my enjoyment of the story, not gameplay because I’m that kinda person. Note I do enjoy them all and the amount of time I’ve known them can affect how much I like them, but that’s not always the case.

Main Games:

Persona 3 FES - Male MC is my favorite for P3 and The Answer is something that tugs at my heartstrings a lot. It was kinda inevitable that this would be my #1 in terms of Persona games, honestly. It gives us the main story (or The Journey) and then clears things up (don’t tell me you could figure out what happened to the MC just from The Journey’s end. There is no way anyone could guess everything about Erebus and the like when FES first released). It also basically contains what is Main Timeline canon for Persona 3 and adds some to the lore. I may throw canon to the wind often, but I need that sweet P3 Lore.

Persona 3 Portable - I do like the addition of FeMC, I really do. I actually first saw P3 in portable form, even. I like the new/added social links and the slight story alterations FeMC brought, but things like The Answer pushed P3FES ahead just a little bit. P3P is a close second, though.

Persona 5 - Just really has a cast of characters I like. Has some of my favorite aesthetics and, while I said no gameplay, the dungeons do sort of play into this. More for the fact it can tell us a lot about the antagonists being faced and I find that cool. There’s not enough about it to push it past 3 for me, but super solid.

Persona 4 Golden - This is partially due to it being the game I learned a lot about second. Has a lot of issues, but I do like a lot of the cast (Kanji, Naoto, and Teddie esp come to mind playable character wise). Adachi was a really interesting villain (the human antagonist was one thing most games kinda beat out 3 in imo) and I honestly thought the overall theme of the game was nice.

Persona 2 Eternal Punishment - I really like Maya as a protagonist and seeing a group of adults as the heroes of the story. I enjoyed the overall plot and the P2 Duology probably has the villain that scares me the most. EP mostly wins out for the cast, though. I like both but I love the adults of P2EP.

Persona 2 Innocent Sin - See above, basically. Liked the story and has the villain that scares me the most. Only beaten by EP due to me loving the adults while it’s more of a like of most of IS’s cast.

Persona 1 - The characters were honestly kinda... lackluster in comparison to the rest of the casts imo, even though I do like them. The plot was pretty cool and kudos to the game for basically having two games with the different routes.

The moral of this is P3 has complete control over me, basically and if you combined P3FES and P3P it would be my Favorite Persona Ever.

Spin offs:

Persona 4 Arena - The Flanderization bothered me, for sure but... I did enjoy the basic idea. Labrys’ and Elizabeth’s story modes also really brought at least a few tears to my eyes because I’m W E A K.

Persona Q - See the flanderization note above. I was honestly super happy for more Shinji and that was the thing that pushed it so far up. I also really love Zen and Rei, so that helped it out too. The art was also super cute.

Persona 4 Dancing All Night - The plot was solid, I like Kanami and the other new characters, that’s about all I can say.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax - Liked Sho and the basic concept, writing could’ve used some serious refinement.

(Side note: You can bet your sweet bippy that P3DMN will throw itself into #1 when it comes out. 5 and Q2 will probably be somewhere around Q, and P5U would probably beat out Ultimax and maybe DAN depending)

Just based off numbers/spin off status:

Persona 3 - Would die for this game.

Persona 5 - Pretty solid, would play again.

Persona 4 - Holds a special place in my heart.

Persona 2 - Solid, has a lot of good things.

Spinoffs - I love the silly nature mixed with serious things a lot honestly.

Persona 1 - I may not love it as much, but thanks P1 for existing and allowing the rest of the series to happen!

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

I am of the opinion that PQ2 should have been released AFTER P5R

Tbh PQ2 is placed where it is because of the 3DS' life cycle. I'd place it farther but the PQ series working on Switch(+maybe other places) is most likely reliant on the/an EO's switch game (to help adjust the formula). If it wasn't for that, I'd probs slowly remake/port P1-4 while spewing out more/different P5 spinoffs before we get to PQ2. (so I don’t disagree, there’s a couple of ways they could’ve gone about it, but even tho it’s speculation it’s fun, none of it matters cause we probs got the worst timeline ;w; anyway time to just ramble about related stuff 8U) (but I would love to hear your opinion as to why you think that’s the case!)

Word vomit word vomit~! Under the cut cause I can’t reply like a normal person 8U ;x; (don’t mind me the gears started-a-turning aklfjdsakl)

Tho tbh, from what we got with PQ2, I dunno if Adding Sumi and Jose would be good. PQ2 is pretty directionless with it's cast imo, like it has something to say but half the time they feel like mouthpieces and not actually......the characters we know being involved. It already has a handful of b/c/d/f plots and it barely even dives deeper than a kids wadding pool with them orz I'd say what's the harm in adding Sumi/Jose since it already can't handle the cast it's been dealt it won't hurt having two more, but do I WANT Sumi/Jose (and possibly Takuto) to suffer for that? Nah. I'd rather we get a PQ3, were we can focus on the implications of Sumi having just awakened and the team side eyeing Joker/Mona for not telling them and all those implications. Her bonding with the team would probs be drowned out by Hamu and Hikari (when they actually feel like giving them some focus that is), plus Goro's stupid bullshit just.......listen.... PQ1? Chars can be a biiiiit mean at times, and are flanderized, but damn do they all feel involved and still have some remnant of their original personality (they aren't flanderized all the time and not all chars are flanderized) but man did they feel important to the game. DX I’ll take it over the clustered bullshit that is PQ2 orz

Anyway, tbh, now that I think about it, P5R should’ve been released in 2021ish time. For a PS4/PS5 release. Would’ve given the PS5 another flag ship game, and justifying it on another console as well (plus a 4 year gap feels a little more justified than a 3 year gap, esp when there’s a new console involved). It also doesn’t help we got two horrible failures of spinoffs in between P5 and P5R (one is the P3/5D and yes I’m counting them as one game, and PQ2 who is at best a slog and at worst is one of the biggest thorn in my side lore wise since P5 sauntered onto the scene...that being said I mostly blame the failure of that game on the dead console it was on). A remake and/or Scramble honestly should’ve been the next game right then and there (oh hey where have I seen that before? Oh right, P4. And it worked, we had about 3 remakes/enhanced ports before our Arena/sequel but still it worked). Not “cash grab the game” or “let’s just set the poor thing up for failure” the game. Like PQ2 would’ve been ok to fail if we at least got a remake and P5S (and I really don’t give a shit about P5S, but it def should’ve been there early on). 

And an extra bonus with P5S releasing early is that, after P5R released, we could have a P5S re-release with a tweaked storyline maybe involving Goro/Sumi/Jose/yadda yadda on the PS5! Is that a bit cash grabby? Maybe. Is it at least cash grabby with a purpose? Yes. We want purpose. Purpose is good. Purpose, means they have our interests in mind. 8U

*inhales* tbh....the PQ2 we got....could’ve/would’ve worked better without the P5 cast. I KNOW, Silly hates-a-the-P5, but.....at this point it’s not even that. There is one char that really tries hard to relate with Hikari that isn’t the shut in bullshit (yeah sure let’s give Futaba more screen time, it’s not like she didn’t have enough of that, nothing against shut ins, just P5/Q2′s writing). And it’s Hamuko. regardless how you feel about the FeMC, the B plot of “I am all alone, I am separated from my loved ones, the same loved ones I see look the same but aren’t them (oh hey another Tatsuya parallel 8U), and to top it off some stranger is in the role I’m supposed to be in. Am I replaceable? What’s the point of my existence if I’m not the only one who can fulfil this role?” have an entire game based on that existential crisis. We don’t even need the same setting/cast (Hikari/Nagi/Doe), actually I’d keep the Climax Theater but I’d lean HEAVILY into the P2 references/themes and such (Hamu already has a lot in common with Tatsuya, this just adds to it even more!). That B plot with Hamu could probs carry a game itself, or her issues can easily tie into the A plot of that game (like how Rei/Zen’s did with PQ1). Don’t delegated it to a watered down B plot that PQ2 gave us. jfjsadfj hell this probs would’ve been a better time for Sumi to be involved instead. Instead of the P5R new char, she’s the new PQ char and hey they can bond over that (sure we can do that in the current PQ2 game, but we can’t fit it in that well cause we have to tell the P5 cast how cool we think they are! even tho they haven’t really done anything but breathe! >8U)

It’d be a good follow up to PQ1 esp if released not long after, with it being a P3xP4 crossover, it’d 1) feel almost like a direct sequel, 2) riding the coattails of PQ1′s success at the most timely of times, 3) connected with 2 but it’d be at the hype of the 3DS, 4) we don’t have to worry about fans not knowing who they are since that cast is still relevant, 5) it gets Hamu’s thing out of the way so that PQ3 can allow the P5 kids to shine! Cause I’mma be honest, the PQ2 we got doesn’t really make them stand out, outside of the Kamoman dungeon. Plus it’d allow us to give more screen time to juicier B plots that people probably wish for with a P5 involved PQ game (such as Goro, I know y’all thirsty for him, this benefits you guys!)

Ah sorry you probs didn’t want a rant klasdjfalf just tired and the gears started turning and ahhhhh orz Anyway, again, I don’t disagree with you anon, I def think they could’ve done things differently and done it a lot of different ways too. XU And btw I’d love to hear more why you think that!

Ucząc się, zapamiętujcie tylko to co warte waszej uwagi, abyście nigdy nie zapomnieli o swojej tożsamości, bo tylko wtedy wchodząc świadomie w struktury systemu, możecie być świadomie użyteczni dla Lechii, która odrodzi się na szczątkach tworu tymczasowego, jakim była i jest Polska ... Jeśli jesteś młody i masz w sobie tyle siły aby działać na rzecz Lechii, Wolność i Równości zgłoś się, do nas ... Jeśli, jako jedyni mamy swoich ludzi w grupie Bilderberga, oznacza to małe zwycięstwo rozumu i logiki nad bestialską siła nakazu i pieniądza ... Nielegalne twory będą tym, czym chcielibyśmy aby były ... i zrobimy to z waszą pomocą w ciszy, spokoju i cieniu działań tych, który pozycja rozmyje się niczym kurz wspomnień ... Myśl, słowo, działanie ... bowiem wiedza jest wtórne wobec faktów ... a my stworzymy fakty, które będą zalążkiem powrotu do wiedzy starożytnej ... Lepiej działać w ciszy, niż chwalić się osiągnięciami, których nie ma ... I pamiętajcie, możecie być przyszłością Lechii, możecie pozostawić po sobie historyczny ślad przywrócenie Lechii jej tożsamości ... Wojna nie polega na agresji lecz na inteligentnym przygotowaniu zadań, których realizacja prowadzi do konkretnego i ukrytego za chaosem celu. Depopulacji dotyka tylko inteligentnych jednostek, mogących zaszkodzić władzy ... Więc nasza wojna, będzie implozjom wypychającą ze środka Lechii całą szumowinę ... Tylko opanowanie państwa za pomocą silnej struktury wewnętrznej, pomoże nam osiągnąć plan nadrzędny, polegający na likwidacji hierarchii i elit stających na drodze samostanowienia ... Przemyślcie to ... Liga Świata Samostanowienia i Samoograniczenie

A common way to establish an IPsec tunnel on Linux is to use an IKE daemon, like the one from the strongSwan project, with a minimal configuration1:

conn V2-1 left = 2001:db8:1::1 leftsubnet = 2001:db8:a1::/64 right = 2001:db8:2::1 rightsubnet = 2001:db8:a2::/64 authby = psk auto = route

The same configuration can be used on both sides. Each side will figure out if it is “left” or “right”. The IPsec site-to-site tunnel endpoints are 2001:db8:­1::1 and 2001:db8:­2::1. The protected subnets are 2001:db8:­a1::/64 and 2001:db8:­a2::/64. As a result, strongSwan configures the following policies in the kernel:

$ ip xfrm policy src 2001:db8:a1::/64 dst 2001:db8:a2::/64 dir out priority 399999 ptype main tmpl src 2001:db8:1::1 dst 2001:db8:2::1 proto esp reqid 4 mode tunnel src 2001:db8:a2::/64 dst 2001:db8:a1::/64 dir fwd priority 399999 ptype main tmpl src 2001:db8:2::1 dst 2001:db8:1::1 proto esp reqid 4 mode tunnel src 2001:db8:a2::/64 dst 2001:db8:a1::/64 dir in priority 399999 ptype main tmpl src 2001:db8:2::1 dst 2001:db8:1::1 proto esp reqid 4 mode tunnel […]

This kind of IPsec tunnel is a policy-based VPN: encapsulation and decapsulation are governed by these policies. Each of them contains the following elements:

a direction (out, in or fwd2),

a selector (source subnet, destination subnet, protocol, ports),

a mode (transport or tunnel),

an encapsulation protocol (esp or ah), and

the endpoint source and destination addresses.

When a matching policy is found, the kernel will look for a corresponding security association (using reqid and the endpoint source and destination addresses):

$ ip xfrm state src 2001:db8:1::1 dst 2001:db8:2::1 proto esp spi 0xc1890b6e reqid 4 mode tunnel replay-window 0 flag af-unspec auth-trunc hmac(sha256) 0x5b68[…]8ba2904 128 enc cbc(aes) 0x8e0e377ad8fd91e8553648340ff0fa06 anti-replay context: seq 0x0, oseq 0x0, bitmap 0x00000000 […]

If no security association is found, the packet is put on hold and the IKE daemon is asked to negotiate an appropriate one. Otherwise, the packet is encapsulated. The receiving end identifies the appropriate security association using the SPI in the header. Two security associations are needed to establish a bidirectionnal tunnel:

$ tcpdump -pni eth0 -c2 -s0 esp 13:07:30.871150 IP6 2001:db8:1::1 > 2001:db8:2::1: ESP(spi=0xc1890b6e,seq=0x222) 13:07:30.872297 IP6 2001:db8:2::1 > 2001:db8:1::1: ESP(spi=0xcf2426b6,seq=0x204)

All IPsec implementations are compatible with policy-based VPNs. However, some configurations are difficult to implement. For example, consider the following proposition for redundant site-to-site VPNs:

A possible configuration between V1-1 and V2-1 could be:

conn V1-1-to-V2-1 left = 2001:db8:1::1 leftsubnet = 2001:db8:a1::/64,2001:db8:a6::cc:1/128,2001:db8:a6::cc:5/128 right = 2001:db8:2::1 rightsubnet = 2001:db8:a2::/64,2001:db8:a6::/64,2001:db8:a8::/64 authby = psk keyexchange = ikev2 auto = route

Each time a subnet is modified on one site, the configurations need to be updated on all sites. Moreover, overlapping subnets (2001:db8:­a6::/64 on one side and 2001:db8:­a6::cc:1/128 at the other) can also be problematic.

The alternative is to use route-based VPNs: any packet traversing a pseudo-interface will be encapsulated using a security policy bound to the interface. This brings two features:

Routing daemons can be used to distribute routes to be protected by the VPN. This decreases the administrative burden when many subnets are present on each side.

Encapsulation and decapsulation can be executed in a different routing instance or namespace. This enables a clean separation between a private routing instance (where VPN users are) and a public routing instance (where VPN endpoints are).

Route-based VPN on Juniper

Before looking at how to achieve that on Linux, let’s have a look at the way it works with a JunOS-based platform (like a Juniper vSRX). This platform as long-standing history of supporting route-based VPNs (a feature already present in the Netscreen ISG platform).

Let’s assume we want to configure the IPsec VPN from V3-2 to V1-1. First, we need to configure the tunnel interface and bind it to the “private” routing instance containing only internal routes (with IPv4, they would have been RFC 1918 routes):

interfaces { st0 { unit 1 { family inet6 { address 2001:db8:ff::7/127; } } } } routing-instances { private { instance-type virtual-router; interface st0.1; } }

The second step is to configure the VPN:

security { /* Phase 1 configuration */ ike { proposal IKE-P1 { authentication-method pre-shared-keys; dh-group group20; encryption-algorithm aes-256-gcm; } policy IKE-V1-1 { mode main; proposals IKE-P1; pre-shared-key ascii-text "d8bdRxaY22oH1j89Z2nATeYyrXfP9ga6xC5mi0RG1uc"; } gateway GW-V1-1 { ike-policy IKE-V1-1; address 2001:db8:1::1; external-interface lo0.1; general-ikeid; version v2-only; } } /* Phase 2 configuration */ ipsec { proposal ESP-P2 { protocol esp; encryption-algorithm aes-256-gcm; } policy IPSEC-V1-1 { perfect-forward-secrecy keys group20; proposals ESP-P2; } vpn VPN-V1-1 { bind-interface st0.1; df-bit copy; ike { gateway GW-V1-1; ipsec-policy IPSEC-V1-1; } establish-tunnels on-traffic; } } }

We get a route-based VPN because we bind the st0.1 interface to the VPN-V1-1 VPN. Once the VPN is up, any packet entering st0.1 will be encapsulated and sent to the 2001:db8:­1::1 endpoint.

The last step is to configure BGP in the “private” routing instance to exchange routes with the remote site:

routing-instances { private { routing-options { router-id 1.0.3.2; maximum-paths 16; } protocols { bgp { preference 140; log-updown; group v4-VPN { type external; local-as 65003; hold-time 6; neighbor 2001:db8:ff::6 peer-as 65001; multipath; export [ NEXT-HOP-SELF OUR-ROUTES NOTHING ]; } } } } }

The export filter OUR-ROUTES needs to select the routes to be advertised to the other peers. For example:

policy-options { policy-statement OUR-ROUTES { term 10 { from { protocol ospf3; route-type internal; } then { metric 0; accept; } } } }

The configuration needs to be repeated for the other peers. The complete version is available on GitHub. Once the BGP sessions are up, we start learning routes from the other sites. For example, here is the route for 2001:db8:­a1::/64:

> show route 2001:db8:a1::/64 protocol bgp table private.inet6.0 best-path private.inet6.0: 15 destinations, 19 routes (15 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden) + = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both 2001:db8:a1::/64 *[BGP/140] 01:12:32, localpref 100, from 2001:db8:ff::6 AS path: 65001 I, validation-state: unverified to 2001:db8:ff::6 via st0.1 > to 2001:db8:ff::14 via st0.2

It was learnt both from V1-1 (through st0.1) and V1-2 (through st0.2). The route is part of the private routing instance but encapsulated packets are sent/received in the public routing instance. No route-leaking is needed for this configuration. The VPN cannot be used as a gateway from internal hosts to external hosts (or vice-versa). This could also have been done with JunOS’ security policies (stateful firewall rules) but doing the separation with routing instances also ensure routes from different domains are not mixed and a simple policy misconfiguration won’t lead to a disaster.

Route-based VPN on Linux

Starting from Linux 3.15, a similar configuration is possible with the help of a virtual tunnel interface3. First, we create the “private” namespace:

# ip netns add private # ip netns exec private sysctl -qw net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1

Any “private” interface needs to be moved to this namespace (no IP is configured as we can use IPv6 link-local addresses):

# ip link set netns private dev eth1 # ip link set netns private dev eth2 # ip netns exec private ip link set up dev eth1 # ip netns exec private ip link set up dev eth2

Then, we create vti6, a tunnel interface (similar to st0.1 in the JunOS example):

# ip tunnel add vti6 \ mode vti6 \ local 2001:db8:1::1 \ remote 2001:db8:3::2 \ key 6 # ip link set netns private dev vti6 # ip netns exec private ip addr add 2001:db8:ff::6/127 dev vti6 # ip netns exec private sysctl -qw net.ipv4.conf.vti6.disable_policy=1 # ip netns exec private sysctl -qw net.ipv4.conf.vti6.disable_xfrm=1 # ip netns exec private ip link set vti6 mtu 1500 # ip netns exec private ip link set vti6 up

The tunnel interface is created in the initial namespace and moved to the “private” one. It will remember its original namespace where it will process encapsulated packets. Any packet entering the interface will temporarily get a firewall mark of 6 that will be used only to match the appropriate IPsec policy4 below. The kernel sets a low MTU on the interface to handle any possible combination of ciphers and protocols. We set it to 1500 and let PMTUD do its work.

We can then configure strongSwan5:

conn V3-2 left = 2001:db8:1::1 leftsubnet = ::/0 right = 2001:db8:3::2 rightsubnet = ::/0 authby = psk mark = 6 auto = route keyexchange = ikev2 keyingtries = %forever ike = aes256gcm16-prfsha384-ecp384! esp = aes256gcm16-prfsha384-ecp384! mobike = no

The IKE daemon configures the following policies in the kernel:

$ ip xfrm policy src ::/0 dst ::/0 dir out priority 399999 ptype main mark 0x6/0xffffffff tmpl src 2001:db8:1::1 dst 2001:db8:3::2 proto esp reqid 1 mode tunnel src ::/0 dst ::/0 dir fwd priority 399999 ptype main mark 0x6/0xffffffff tmpl src 2001:db8:3::2 dst 2001:db8:1::1 proto esp reqid 1 mode tunnel src ::/0 dst ::/0 dir in priority 399999 ptype main mark 0x6/0xffffffff tmpl src 2001:db8:3::2 dst 2001:db8:1::1 proto esp reqid 1 mode tunnel […]

Those policies are used for any source or destination as long as the firewall mark is equal to 6, which matches the mark configured for the tunnel interface.

The last step is to configure BGP to exchange routes. We can use BIRD for this:

router id 1.0.1.1; protocol device { scan time 10; } protocol kernel { persist; learn; import all; export all; merge paths yes; } protocol bgp IBGP_V3_2 { local 2001:db8:ff::6 as 65001; neighbor 2001:db8:ff::7 as 65003; import all; export where ifname ~ "eth*"; preference 160; hold time 6; }

Once BIRD is started in the “private” namespace, we can check routes are learned correctly:

$ ip netns exec private ip -6 route show 2001:db8:a3::/64 2001:db8:a3::/64 proto bird metric 1024 nexthop via 2001:db8:ff::5 dev vti5 weight 1 nexthop via 2001:db8:ff::7 dev vti6 weight 1

The above route was learnt from both V3-1 (through vti5) and V3-2 (through vti6). Like for the JunOS version, there is no route-leaking between the “private” namespace and the initial one. The VPN cannot be used as a gateway between the two namespaces, only for encapsulation. This also prevent a misconfiguration (for example, IKE daemon not running) from allowing packets to leave the private network.

As a bonus, unencrypted traffic can be observed with tcpdump on the tunnel interface:

$ ip netns exec private tcpdump -pni vti6 icmp6 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on vti6, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked), capture size 262144 bytes 20:51:15.258708 IP6 2001:db8:a1::1 > 2001:db8:a3::1: ICMP6, echo request, seq 69 20:51:15.260874 IP6 2001:db8:a3::1 > 2001:db8:a1::1: ICMP6, echo reply, seq 69

You can find all the configuration files for this example on GitHub. The documentation of strongSwan also features a page about route-based VPNs.

Everything in this post should work with Libreswan. ↩

fwd is for incoming packets on non-local addresses. It only makes sense in transport mode and is a Linux-only particularity. ↩

Virtual tunnel interfaces (VTI) were introduced in Linux 3.6 (for IPv4) and Linux 3.12 (for IPv6). Appropriate namespace support was added in 3.15. KLIPS, an alternative out-of-tree stack available since Linux 2.2, also features tunnel interfaces. ↩

The mark is set right before doing a policy lookup and restored after that. Consequently, it doesn’t affect other possible uses (filtering, routing). However, as Netfilter can also set a mark, one should be careful for conflicts. ↩

The ciphers used here are the strongest ones currently possible while keeping compatibility with JunOS. The documentation for strongSwan contains a complete list of supported algorithms as well as security recommendations to choose them. ↩

okay i’m just gonna rant about my school

FIRST OF FUCKING ALL it was a lovely school and i loved it BUT 

basically like less than 10% of the cohort does IB so obviously we get pushed under the rug a bit

we had a physics class, maths and english class that were only IB. for my other subjects, they taught us the local curriculum and we had extra tutorials once/twice a week to summarise the content for IB

my english teacher predicted me a 5 so i worked so hard bc i didn’t want a 5 i needed a six TURNS OUT I GET A HIGH 6 ON MY FINAL ??? (HL Eng Lit is 65% not-exams so like you get a pretty good idea of how you’re going to go)

my chemistry teacher DIDN’T TEACH US JACKSHIT  BUT PRETENDED TO KNOW THE SYLLABUS WHEN SHE CLEARLY DIDN’T AND UNFORTUNATELY I DID NOT REALISE UNTIL LIKE THREE MONTHS UNTIL THE EXAM SO YA 

THE CHEM LAB ASSISTANTS GAVE ME SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF HCL ACID AND THEREFORE I GOT A 16 ON MY IA (we did one IA (the final one) over the two years and it was done like two months before it needed to be uploaded to the IB) 

I SPENT LITERALLY 50% OF MY TIME ON CHEMISTRY HL BC I DIDNT WANT A 4 AND I ENDED UP GETTING A HIGH 6

this frustrates me so much. 

i spent the night before p2 studying chem instead of maths bc i thought i needed to

i spent so much time writing practise commentaries because i needed a 6

and because of it all my standard levels (maths and physics) were a 6 instead of my predicted solid 7s.

AND HAHAHA MY SCHOOL MADE ENG HL COMPULSORY Y’ALL I USED TO BE SO BAD AT ENGLISH I SPENT SO MUCH TIME ON IT WHEN I COULD’VE SPENT IT ON ANOTHER HL SUBJECT THAT I PROBABLY WOULDVE BEEN BETTER AT (or maybe not maybe i’m getting ahead of myself)

AND I GOT PREDICTED AN A IN TOK... GOT A C. 

False predictions are ugh. 

I take responsibility for my result just wanted to vent.

TLDR; don’t believe your teachers esp if they lack experience

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

I mean I could see someone still being extremely sympathetic and tragic while still delving into the horrible shit they've done (by choice or otherwise). Side note: Jfc I didnt realize its been 4 years since Persona 5 came out. Given then gap between that and Persona 4, it wouldnt surprise me if P6 was announced for development in a year or two

I agree you can do that, but I don’t think (current) Atlus can. Esp after seeing how they handled P5. They really pushing me to root for Goro man....I don’t wanna, cause it feels like they want me to root for him like he’s a good guy and to ignore his misdeeds. I’d rather root for him as a villain, I can get behind his motives.... but I can’t get behind them just sweeping it under the rug..... :/ 

God P6 needs to be announced like now. DX P3 and P4 had a fast turnaround man.... orz Same with P1 to P2 and both P2 games. I remember they said they were spitballing ideas but who knows if they already started development. I hope they did and are keeping it hush hush. P5 took so long cause of them making their engine, but they have it now....unless they plan on switching to unity then I dunno. DX asklfdjaf I hope Atlus announces/shows off the next Megaten/Persona game soon ;w; SMTV needs another trailer...........
