Despite the tight fit, we all had a restful night. We slept in today. We also wanted to make sure The Kids were OK. We also got a kick out of seeing them enjoying the Big Man on Campus treatment. Only Michael Jordan was bigger.

🏍️ 🕸️Michael Jordan🕸️, 🕸️Basketball Hall of Fame inductee🕸️ and six-time champion with the NBA's Chicago Bulls during the 1990s, went to college at the ►University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill◄[^University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill]. He is one of the last college players to win an Olympic Gold Medal for the United States when he played for Team USA in the 🕸️1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympic Games🕸️. He was also one of the original professional players to play for Team USA on the first-- and definitive-- so-called 🕸️"Dream Team"🕸️ in the 🕸️1992 Barcelona Summer Olympic Games🕸️. Even in 2025, the 🕸️Michael Jordan UNC 23 jersey🕸️ remains a best-seller in the fan apparel market.
[^University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill]: University where foreign exchange students Sanjay Rampersad and Lionel Odunsi study; usually referred to as UNC; first mention of ►University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill◄ is @ University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

With The Kids having their 15 Minutes of Fame, they attracted attention wherever they went. Even fraternity brothers and sorority sisters wanted to be photographed with them. After all, to them they were real-life action heroes.

🏍️ This isn't true of most of them, but it's true enough that fraternities and sororities have a reputation for being elitist. After all, they are exclusive clubs. In this case, however, some members of some of the Greek Houses at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill let themselves act like fanboys and fangirls on seeing ►Triumph◄[12] and ►FL-Finn◄[13] (formerly ►Quartermaster◄[14]) in the flesh. Between the life-and-death moment at ►The Dogemart◄[^The Dogemart] in ►Bolivion, Virginia◄[^Bolivion, Virginia], US and the earlier ►daring display of theatricality◄[^daring display of theatricality] needed to exit ►Santa Fe, New Mexico◄[^Santa Fe, New Mexico], US, foreign exchange students ►Sanjay Rampersad◄[^Sanjay Rampersad] of India and ►Lionel Odunsi◄[^Lionel Odunsi] of Nigeria were treated like celebrities at a university known for its share of celebrities, including Michael Jordan and 🕸️Lawrence Taylor🕸️ before him.
[^The Dogemart]: The Dogemart is the fictional store located in the fictional town of Bolivion, Virginia, US; first mention of ►The Dogemart◄ is @ The Dogemart
[^Bolivion, Virginia]: Bolivion, Virginia, US is a fictional town created for the purpose of leaving real towns untainted by the horrific acts taking place in that town; Bolivion is a short distance from North Carolina to the south and is located near the corner of southwestern Virginia, between Tightsqueeze and Dry Fork; first mention of ►Bolivion, Virginia◄ is @ Bolivion, Virginia
[^daring display of theatricality]: The daring display of theatricality refers to the way Felix Legion exited from Santa Fe, New Mexico, US when the road was blocked by environmental protesters; each member of Felix Legion, starting with Lindsay Etxeberria, jumped over the mob by using an auto hauler as a ramp; this moment is referred to as a ►daring display of theatricality◄, and it can be found @ daring display of theatricality
[^Santa Fe, New Mexico]: Santa Fe, New Mexico is the site of the daring display of theatricality which defined Felix Legion; first mention of ►Santa Fe, New Mexico◄ is @ Santa Fe, New Mexico
[^Sanjay Rampersad]: Sanjay Rampersad is a foreign exchange student from India at UNC; first mention of ►Sanjay Rampersad◄ is @ Sanjay Rampersad

A UNC freshman approached us to ask if we've ever seen video of ourselves making those motorcycle jumps in Santa Fe. We shook our heads, so he showed us the video courtesy of KOB-TV Santa Fe. Lionel found himself saying "Whoa."
https://inleo.io/threads/view/magnacarta/re-magnacarta-2axk2xu8h
🏍️ Did ►Felix Legion◄[^Felix Legion] have opportunities to view the daring display of theatricality between the moment it took place while exiting Santa Fe, New Mexico, US and the moment the ►UNC◄[15] freshman offers to present them the viral video? That's possible, and even probable, but it wouldn't have added to the story. Viewing this viral video at any other point before dropping off ►The Kids◄[^The Kids] at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill wouldn't have advanced the story or added to character development. This was the perfect time for Felix Legion to see the motorcycle club as others would see it.
[^Felix Legion]: Felix Legion is the group consisting of Templar (David Guardia), Shieldmaiden (Rhonda Bella Guardia), Nitrous (Hank Marchenko), Rothbard (Frank Marchenko), Triumph (Sanjay Rampersad), Quartermaster (Lionel Odunsi), and Fonzie (Lindsay Etxeberria); the remainder of Our Heroes after The Mongols returned to their based in San Diego, California, US; first mention of Felix Legion◄ is @ Felix Legion
[^The Kids]: "The Kids" refers to Sanjay Rampersad and Lionel Odunsi (sometimes with Lindsay Etxeberria included); first mention of ►The Kids◄ is @ The Kids

"That had to be a big moment for you guys," said the freshman.
"It was," said Lionel. "We took the name Felix Legion 3 days before. As a matter of fact, we earned our names after executing that daring display of theatricality."

🏍️ In some Weekly Summary posts I've referred to Felix Legion's egress from Santa Fe, New Mexico, US as a daring display of theatricality. This zapfic entry is the first time I use that phrase as part of the story, and it is Finn who first uses this phrase. Despite all the times David Guardia has seen 🕸️The Dark Knight Trilogy🕸️ of movies directed by 🕸️Christopher Nolan🕸️, it was Lionel Odunsi who came up with the turn of phrase (DDoT as an abbreviation).

With free time before lunch, Rhonda & I went to the campus hospital to get my left palm examined. Not expecting it ever to be 100% again, I just wanted to cover it with a glove. Like a Civil War-era soldier, I got it cauterized.
https://inleo.io/threads/view/magnacarta/re-magnacarta-2igmbhbnm
🏍️ University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is a school big enough to have its own hospital. That's why ►Templar◄[16] (David Guardia) decided to to make a visit there. Since Felix Legion is just passing through, there is no way Templar will begin any sort of physical therapy to bring strength back to his ►maimed left palm◄[17]. Even into the final zapfic serial, The Bronze, his left hand will continue to have that hole.

After meals at The Commons, The Iowans & I did the tourist thing while The Kids went through their correspondence and care packages. Lionel finished first, so he joined us. Sanjay needed more time. Something off caught his eye.
https://inleo.io/threads/view/magnacarta/re-magnacarta-2ggdjn5aj
🏍️ This is where things begin to change for {Sanjay Rampersad}, and by extension Felix Legion. Earlier zapfic entries seemingly unrelated to events on the road for Felix Legion will make their impact felt over the next few zapfic entries.

It was a beautiful day on campus, and we 6 looked like a group of people whose photos can be found in any admissions package. While cracking jokes, we noticed Sanjay approaching. When he got to us, he locked lips with Lindsay.

🏍️ This zapfic entry was my motivation for filling gaps in ►Rat Bike◄[18] which existed in April & May 2024. The idea I had was to introduce tension in the relationship between ►Lindsay Etxeberria◄[^Lindsay Etxeberria] and Sanjay Rampersad which would eventually be resolved before this moment at UNC. The gap filling didn't turn out as I had envisioned, but that's OK; I decided to go with what came to me and take it as far as I could. For the sequel zapfic serial ►Blue Lion◄[19] I envisioned Lindsay and Sanjay as a couple, so I needed to use Rat Bike to show how that happened.
[^Lindsay Etxeberria]: Lindsay Etxeberria is a one-time far-left activist who abandoned the far left life when she was encountered by David Guardia (and the rest of Our Heroes) in Portland, Oregon, US; first mention of ►Lindsay Etxeberria◄ is @ Lindsay Etxeberria
Story Arc So Far
After a long day as a result of first the heinous acts which took place at the (fictional) store called The Dogemart in the (fictional) town of Bolivion, Virginia, US; then racing through a wall of fire while being chased by potential confederates of the 2 gunmen who shot up The Dogemart; then dealing with police-related business upon reaching University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; and finally dealing with unexpected media attention... the seven members of Felix Legion had a restful sleep in The Kids' dorm room.
The next day is the first full day at UNC, and the rest of Felix Legion is enjoying how The Kids, Triumph (Sanjay Rampersad) and Finn (Lionel Odunsi, the former Quartermaster) are getting ►the Big Man on Campus treatment◄[20] and otherwise enjoying their 15 minutes of fame. One UNC freshman was kind enough to show Felix Legion news footage out of Santa Fe, New Mexico, US showing what Finn described as the daring display of theatricality: the moment they all jumped over a mob of environmental protesters who blocked their egress from Santa Fe.
At some point ►Shieldmaiden◄[21] (►Rhonda Bella Guardia◄[^Rhonda Bella Guardia]) joined her husband, Templar (David Guardia) at the university hospital as he had his maimed left palm examined and cauterized.
With more time available this day, The Kids went through the ►backlog of mail and care packages◄[22]. Lionel went through his quickly, so he left Sanjay to finish going through his. ►Something odd◄[23] caught his eye, and he discovered what had happened halfway around the world during his last few days of riding with Felix Legion.
When he found his fellow riders outside having fun together, Triumph approached ►Fonzie◄[24] (Lindsay Etxeberria) and locked lips with her for a deep and intense kiss. Everyone else found this behavior strange since they knew he was betrothed to ►Rekha Ramakrishnan◄[^Rekha Ramakrishnan] back home. Shieldmaiden knew about his family and Rekha's family taking ►a cruise◄[25], and Triupmh informed the rest of Felix Legion that the cruise ship they were on was was torn in two by a ►rogue wave◄[26] and no one survived.
[^Rhonda Bella Guardia]: Rhonda Bella, after marrying David Guardia; first mention of ►Rhonda Bella Guardia◄ is @ Rhonda Bella Guardia
[^Rekha Ramakrishnan]: Rekha Ramakrishnan is betrothed to Sanjay Rampersad back in India; first mention of ►Rekha Ramakrishnan◄ is @ Rekha Ramakrishnan
