Steve: Well hi there, stranger! Welcome to the team!
You: Stranger? Steve, I've been working with the Avengers for over a year now. You know me.
Steve: Please, tell me your name so I can show you around the city!
You: Is it getting hard for you to remember things in your old age or what? And what's with the dog ears?
Steve: Please, tell me your name so I can show you around the city!
You: Fine. It's (Y/N). Remember now?
Steve: (Y/N)... that's a great name! Are you sure you want to continue with this name?
You: It's gotten me this far, hasn't it?
Steve: Wonderful! It's a pleasure to meet you, (Y/N)! Now, what is the name of the city I will be showing you?
You: You should know it! You're the one taking me there! What is going on with you?
Steve: What is the name of the city I will be showing you?
You: Uh... Carrot. How's that?
Steve: Carrot... that's the name of the city, yes?
You: YES!
Steve: Wonderful! Welcome to Carrot, (Y/N)! I hope you have a super duper lovely day!
You: What the hell...
Tony: Greetings. You must be (Y/N).
You: Tony, what is going on!?
Tony: Allow me to show you your own studio apartment.
You: Wait, for real?
Tony: Well, you get one empty room first. Then you can give me all your mon—I mean pay off your loans until you have the apartment of your dreams!
You: This room isn't empty. There's a bed and a lantern in here.
Tony: Gifts from Steve. I would've left you sleep on the floor.
You: Thanks, man.
Tony: SO. Time to pay off your first loan. Fork it over.
You: WHAT!? You and Steve just drag me to this city without a single warning, and you expect me to have money?
Tony: I see... Well, you don't have to pay it off right away. You can stay in your sad little apartment for awhile, get to know the neighbors, make some money, then give it to m—I mean pay your loan off.
You: Okay, fine. Whatever.
Tony: I'll be at the headquarters whenever your ready.
You: ...I guess I should go out and explore Carrot now.
Sam: Hello there, redwing!
You: GAH! Sam? You're an actual falcon?
Sam: Nice to meet you, (Y/N). I was hoping you could help me out, redwing.
You: I will gladly help you turn back into a human.
Sam: That's not what I meant. I'm thinking about changing my catchphrase. "Redwing" just seems... eh nowadays.
You: Are you serious? Sam, you've fought in wars and have been turned to dust at one point. Why on earth do you care about a stupid catchphrase?
Sam: Because I need to sound cooler than Bucky, redwing!
You: Of course you do. Wait, Bucky's here too? If he's a literal buck I'm going to lose it.
Sam: So are you going to help me with my catchphrase or not, redwing?
You: No.
Sam: Oh, so "redwing" still sounds cool! Thanks for your input, (Y/N)!
You: WHAT is going ON!?
Bucky: So. I heard Sam wants to sound cooler than me.
You: Bucky! You're a wolf!
Bucky: White wolf, actually. Here, take this.
You: A watering can? Why? Are you bribing me?
Bucky: Of course not! Just a little gift to show you my appreciation. Also, there's a lot of flowers in this city and I can't water them all on my own.
You: You water flowers in your spare time?
Bucky: Nice chatting with ya!
You: Wait! Come back! I still have no idea what's happening! Ugh, I guess I'll get started watering all these plants.
Tony: How's the loan coming along?
You: Dude, I've only been here for ten minutes. I haven't made a single penny since coming here.
Tony: You know, you can sell stuff to make money here.
You: Sell what? My bed so I can sleep on the floor? My soul?
Tony: You could, but there's other stuff you can collect and trade in for coins. You can catch fish or bugs and sell them, you could dig up fossils and have Bruce assess them, or you can go down to the beach and collect shells to sell.
You: What about flowers? Can you sell them?
Tony: Sure! They won't get you much, but everyone has to start somewhere.
You: Cool. Who do I go to to sell these?
Tony: Thor and Loki. They run Asgard's Cranny down by the beach. Pick up some seashells while your at it. Anything to get that loan paid faster, right?
You: Sure... I guess I'll see you again when I have money.
Tony: Yes. Then, if you want, we can make your apartment bigger! All for the low low price of an even bigger loan.
You: Great.
Tony: See you then!
Bucky: AHHH! Who picked all my flowers!?
