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.

@spinblue​ said: if Nack were to find Shambala, what would he do afterwards? Is there any sense of emptiness upon finally achieving his family’s legacy? After all, he may have finally accomplished what the rest of his family members couldn't, but who is left to really understand how important this find is?

This is something I‘ve talked about with Team Sexy Bitches ( @dcsntmatter​, @omniversentertwined​, and @jackalhunt​), and the sad thing is that Shambhala is simply not what Nack thinks it is.

Unbeknownst to him, the Marvelous family weren’t just a family of wild-hearted treasure hunters looking for the next biggest scoop. Instead, their intentions had been heavily corrupted along the way, twisting them into some of the greediest, most dangerous individuals around as they learned that Shambhala was, in fact, not some mythical kingdom of paradise and wonder. Instead, it was a kingdom that housed a terrible curse that, if released, could plague the entire world with destruction and ruin if let loose. The Marvelous family uncovered this truth, and it was their intention to find Shambhala so that they could try and master this curse as to strong-arm the world into total submission.

Nack, not alive during their downfall, was not raised with this in mind. He was told that a secret society slaughtered his family, but he was not aware of the context. To him, they were legendary rogues, unjustly slaughtered in their search for the world’s greatest treasure. Thus, he’s made it his entire life mission to live up to their legacy, thus transforming him into the ruthless, ambition-filled treasure hunter that he is now.

He doesn’t like to show it, but he does have a good deal of insecurity when it comes to his family. He worries that he’s not yet eclipsed them despite so many of his legendary exploits that have made him a legend. It doesn’t matter what he finds or where he goes -- none of it will matter until he, a Marvelous, finds Shambhala and lives in what is fabled to be an ancient city of paradise and wealth.
