"We both hold $PEPE," said Sanjay.
"But the big winner," began Lionel, "has been $FAFO."
"$FAFO?" asked the reporter from 89.3 FM WXYC.
"That's right," continued Lionel. "It's been all FAFO, all the time since Spring 2025."

🏍️ $PEPE has been a part of Hive Layer 2 since LeoThreads began gaining traction in the 2nd half of 2023. It can also be found on other blockchains.
FAFO, a polite abbrevition for the less polite expression fuck round & find out, entered online usage in 2022 when 🕸️Elon Musk🕸️ used it 🕸️in response to Kanye West🕸️ on his suspension from Twitter. With or without his connection to the 🕸️Trump 47🕸️ administration, FAFO has come to be associated with the more high-profile secretaries and directors working for the president this time. Outside of Musk and Trump, the best example of FAFO is 🕸️President Nayib Bukele🕸️ of El Salvador.

Eventually the media got its fill of attention from us, so we were finally left to ourselves. That's when I turned to Frank.
"'It'll be a short day on the road for us,' you said to me." He was taken aback by his own words.
@magnacarta/re-magnacarta-2vuqx7mcg
🏍️ The long day on the road to ►University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill◄[12] was nearing an end everyone on ►Felix Legion◄[13] could see was in sight. The previous day everyone in Felix Legion ►decided to ride longer than usual◄[14] in order to ride a short distance to ►UNC◄[15] this day, maybe even spend a pleasant day on campus with ►The Kids◄[16]. ►Rothbard◄[17] (►Frank Marchenko◄[18]) casually told everyone that this day was going to be a short day. ►Templar◄[19] (David Guardia) had a feeling that Rothbard was sadly ►mistaken◄[20], only he had no idea the events of the day would transpire as they did. After all, who in Felix Legion was expecting...
- ... to be eye-witnesses to a ►mass-shooting◄[21] at a (fictional) store called ►The Dogemart◄[22] in the (fictional) town of ►Bolivion, Virginia◄[23], US?
- ... ►to ride for their lives◄[24] to outrace an explosion resulting in fire?
- ... to spend almost as much time ►dealing with weaselly UNC administrators◄[25] gaming out potential blowback from having Felix Legion on campus so soon after the heinous events at The Dogemart in Bolivion? And, finally...
- ... to spend what felt like an eternity at the entrance to UNC ►dealing with police◄[26] from not only Chapel Hill but also Bolivion?
- ... to spend hours ►dealing with inquiries◄[27] from a large assembly of representatives from media outlets of all kinds?
What should have been a pleasant day on campus after a short ride ended with the males growing razor stubble on their faces and the females not enjoying being stressed out, and-- in the case of Templar-- getting his ►left palm maimed by gunfire◄[28].
Templar had no idea these things were going to happen, but he sensed that Rothbard was grossly mistaken in his expectations for this day.

"Famous last words?" said Hank sheepishly. Rhonda & Lindsay looked at them. I looked at Frank, then again at Hank. For a moment I stayed quiet. This was definitely an awkward moment. Then I laughed heartily and hugged The Twins.
@magnacarta/re-magnacarta-k4kr8snp
🏍️ The words between Rothbard and Templar brought about an uneasiness among everyone in Felix Legion. If looks could kill, Templar would have gotten the death penalty for the glare he gave Rothbard after quoting him verbatim. ►Nitrous◄[29] (►Hank Marchenko◄[30]) tried to defuse the tension between his twin brother and Templar. ►Shieldmaiden◄[31] (►Rhonda Bella Guardia◄[32]) and ►Fonzie◄[33] (►Lindsay Etxeberria◄[34]) weren't sure what was going to happen. Just after letting the awkwardness grow as large as possible without scaring people, Templar himself brought the stand-off to a close by hugging ►The Twins◄[35] (Hank & Frank, the ►Brothers Marchenko◄[36]) as a show of appreciation for saving the lives of not only himself but also those of Fonzie and ►Quartermaster◄[37] (►Lionel Odunsi◄[38], to be rechristened ►Finn◄[39] at UNC by Templar).
7️⃣8️⃣0️⃣ ►[2025-04-09T04:53:09]◄
"Seriously," I began saying to The Twins, "you guys saved us back at The Dogemart. I'm grateful to you. Thank you again."
"Thank Sanjay," said Frank. "He was determined to get Lindsay out of there; we agreed to back him up."
@magnacarta/re-magnacarta-rfxmttem
🏍️ As mysteriously as the awkward moment had arrived for Felix Legion, it disappeared in the blink of an eye when Templar expressed his gratitude for all The Twins, Shieldmaiden (his wife), and ►Triumph◄[40] (►Sanjay Rampersad◄[41]) had done to bring to an end the tragic situation at The Dogemart from earlier in the day.
7️⃣8️⃣1️⃣ ►[2025-04-10T05:34:39]◄
"Blind love, Sanjay?" I asked.
"Rhonda was going to rescue you; I just thought it was expected I rescue Lionel and Lindsay."
"But you only mentioned Lindsay, Sanjay." stated Hank.
"That's true," acknowledged Sanjay. "I did."
@magnacarta/re-magnacarta-vn8ervst
🏍️ Normally I present Sanjay Rampersad as an even-keeled person, mature beyond his years. Since he realized that his ►mobile phone had become unreliable◄[42] or useless, Sanjay has been noticeably more emotional. Lack of device alone wasn't enough to get him off-balance, though; he had somehow sensed that things had changed in his life. At this moment, he doesn't know how or why; only after he begins to get settled in at campus will he know why he had been acting differently.
7️⃣8️⃣2️⃣ ►[2025-04-11T04:05:42]◄
Eventually, Sanjay and Lionel led us to The Commons, the place where students ate their meals as well as organized student activities. It's also where they picked up their mail and care packages. The Kids are also UNC roommates.
@magnacarta/re-magnacarta-27fx99gmr
🏍️ This transitional zapfic entry is like a travel entry, only the travel here is done on foot as The Kids guide ►The Iowans◄ [43] during their time on campus. As the focus for student life on campus, The Commons is where The Kids needed to be sooner or later if they were to find their housing assignments.
7️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ ►[2025-04-12T04:25:45]◄
After an unexpectedly long & eventful day, the 7 of us crashed in The Kid's room for 2. Rhonda & I cuddled platonically this night. The Twins slept beside each other like campers. The Kids managed to find a mattress for Lindsay.
@magnacarta/re-magnacarta-21kebyfuw
🏍️ It took what seemed like forever, but the long day came to an end for the seven members of Felix Legion. This day was even longer than the day it rolled into ►Chicago, Illinois◄[44], US less than a week earlier. At least on that day they were just riding with a brief pause due to an unexpected stop at the ►Obama Presidential Library◄[45] in ►Jackson Park◄[46] where David Guardia found himself acting in his capacity as ►Prophet◄[47] of ►The Lord◄[48]. What could have turned into an ugly situation had not, unlike near the start of the long day at UNC. Given the notoriety The Kids had acquired due to their 15 minutes of fame thanks to their media exposure, they had no problem finding a mattress for Lindsay so that she could sleep comfortably.
Story Arc So Far
The two press conferences continued-- one for The Kids since they are members of the UNC student body; and one for the rest of Felix Legion.
Once the press conferences were over and the 7 members of Felix Legion were left alone at last, there was an awkward moment where Templar reminded Rothbard of his exact words when he said that this day was going to be a short day. Just as the awkward moment between Templar and Rothbard was making the rest of Felix Legion feel uncomfortable, Templar ended the awkward moment with a hearty hug to thank them and the rest of Felix Legion for rescuing them from the heinous deeds which took place at The Dogemart in the (fictional) town of Bolivion, Virginia, US.
A short time later, the 7 members of Felix Legion crammed into a dorm room designed for 2 students for an overnight stay. ►The Newlyweds◄[49] (Templar and Shieldmaiden) and The Twins made do where they were. For Fonzie, Triumph and Finn found her a mattress.
