He wasn't laughing — yet. Instead he's just looking on with the biggest grin on his face, lips partially bitten to try and suppress his mirth. "You — 𝘱𝘧𝘵 — too bad nothing worked out, huh? Gotta say, glad to see real estate stand firm against —— 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘴. Really makes me feel safe, y'know?" And that's it, he couldn't hold it back the laughter anymore and doesn't try to, fully planning to enjoy this for all it's worth. Scourge getting repeatedly rejected from any potential home? His day's made.
Three times. Three times, he’d tried relocating to a new place -- tried to move out of the home he’d been offered to stay in, for some time now. He’d never understand the open arms that had been given to him by Amy, && though she’d never made any indication that she didn’t intend to keep the door open for him forever, it had grown increasingly more strange to him to keep accepting the offer with no deadline.
So, with a little added pressure from outside forces ( && a growing feeling he couldn’t quite explain of needing to prove himself, something he’d surely only label as a “need to get them off his back” && nothing more.. ), he’d actually tried to move out -- find his own place to stay. It would have been a step in the right direction, were it not for being rejected from every available housing unit he tried to get a deal with. He would have resorted to some of the more shady motels that didn’t care about your reputation, but considering how that was effectively part of how he ended up getting offered a free room in Amy’s house in the first place, he had a feeling that wouldn’t have gone over well, in the end.
Maybe that was the one downside to actively trying to become a renowned criminal && villain to an entire zone -- situations like these were definitely a pain in the ass.
Spin getting a good laugh at his failures as he made the walk of shame back to where he’d started certainly didn’t help -- his temper was getting steadily riled up, as usual.
" Yeah, yeah, ‘s funny, ain’t it Blue? Y’get a good kick outta this? Go on, get it all out! ” He hated being made a fool of, trying things only for them to fail miserably. He should have known this wasn’t going to work, && yet he’d done it anyway. “ Y’see why I don’t bother fuckin’ tryin’, most times? It always ends up like this. ”
