Thrudd:
On the 5000+  year timeline the Great lakes would be at best two. Superior and Huron due to their geological nature in comparison to the other three.

There have been proposals to connect Lake Michigan with the Mississippi basin and divert water south and then west. We Canadians are none too happy with that idea, but like that scurvy cat it keep coming back, wall-street bankers leading the charge.  :psyduck:

The other thing to note is that since the last ice-age the ground has been quickly [geological scale folks] bouncing back with the southern end of things dropping and the norther side rising.
So Lake Michigan ending up prairie is not all that farfetched.

Method of Madness:
Five thousand years since the Blink, but the Blink isn't happening tomorrow, the Blink itself could be tens of thousands of years from now, unless there's something to indicate otherwise.

Wildroses:
I'm a lot more interested in Ardent's character development than geography or Gavia post-nanotech. He's come a long way from the guy who demanded an apology for making him sound like a jerk from Gavia when she complained he'd ruined her life for a vacation. I suspect this is the first time in his young life he has had to face the knowledge his actions can have major detrimental impacts on people not himself, which has always been his biggest character flaw.

For all he and Gavia were constantly arguing verbally, I think this was the first time Gavia has hated her brother so much she thought physical violence the only appropriate response. Ardent's always been so good at making friends and using charm that being the target of such utter hatred must have been a major shock he is still reeling from. I got the impression Gavia was more surprised than anything else that Ardent's response to them making eye contact was to flinch and look away instead of yelling at her for bashing him up or some ham fisted attempt to be friends again.

Sure, he came to Earth/Terra/Discworld/Whatever, but he can hardly be blamed for the machinations of the Praeses.

Wildroses:
Oh, but the Praeses had nothing to do with his behaviour after he arrived on earth. It's more his actions after he came to earth that made me think Ardent had never believed his actions could have detrimental impacts on people. There were several occasions where Alice was not mincing words about how unhappy she was at him being here potentially upsetting her carefully balanced community harmony with outright dimissiveness (Do you know any other girls Jack? This one's boring") or only focusing on how her supervision would impact on him: ("Sweet, you're my tour guide!") He also was gawking and pointing at an obviously freaked out child and mother, reacted to hearing he has to pay for things by asking Alice for money, assumed the crowd was coming to see him rather than Alice, throwing a tantrum because Alice didn't compliment his delightful tail, wanting to meet Miss Wheelwright simply because of her big bottom, and getting upset Miss Wheelwright slapped him after being asked to fuck within minutes of being introduced.
