it's not that bad here
Fine. I guess. Let's go.
At the very least it's more plants and freshwater. And probably fish.
Come on, it's gotta be villages.
I'm gonna meet local Miracles! They're probably gonna be nicer than this grobblesmacked portal girl! I am so abusing my power to make that a real novel insult specifically for her and people like her!
Miracle solidarity, don't fail me now!
Well, there's fish and edible plants and freshwater. No villages in sight so far.
Wanna go upstream or downstream?
Downstream! River deltas mean farmland and coast, which mean more cities!
Don't worry about it, Earth.
Fields! And a road, and power poles, and is that agritech?, and oh look, there's a girl standing approximately on your way far away from the settlement.
Oh! She's a Miracle, zipping around out of town, right?
Damn, she's wearing regional traditional clothing. Probably means I'm out of Persian Kingdom, that kind of thing is way out of fashion there.
If she's a Miracle, she's really not showing it off. She's walking around slowly and kinda heavily.
You are gonna approach her nude, with your head covered in an animal corpse, and a body covered in sweat and dirt?
I'm gonna take the corpsehat into my hands (it'll be a hell of a memento), quickly dunk myself into the river, and then approach her. Nude, of course - some people are a bit weird about it, maybe moreso those who tend to wear traditional Persian Plateau costumes, but that's neither here nor there, and what should I even do about it, anyway.
Alright.
So as you are approaching her, she sees a really implausibly fast and graceful nude White boy appear out nowhere, carrying a decaying mutilated corpse of a dog.
And you are going to see a startled girl who is clearly systematically malnourished, and clearly not a Miracle.
