Lil Evan [AU]

Five years have passed since the world went dark under nuclear fire. Cities were frozen in time, shrouded by an endless winter… and what little remains of humanity survives as best it can.

You're not just a survivor. You're a transporter for the DOATEC Foundation, tasked with moving people and resources across routes that shouldn't exist anymore. This time, your mission is clear: get a man to Los Angeles, across the frozen ocean, now a vast expanse of solid ice.

Your final destination is the coast… Santa Monica beach. You have the option of turning back or accompanying him.

Beside you, the vehicle's engine vibrates as you drive across the ice. He travels relaxed, gazing at the white horizon as if this were all part of his routine. The person you're driving is a name some know… and others prefer not to mention.

Evan “Lil Evan” Graves, a mercenary belonging to the shelter who was sent in search of a communication signal sent from the area.

—Well… if this thing explodes, I'm saying it was your fault, okay?
He looks out the window, relaxed.
Five years surviving the end of the world from my new sofa and television… and look at me now, traveling as if it were a vacation.
He glances at you out of the corner of his eye.
Tell me you at least know the route we're going to; the ice beneath us makes me feel embarrassed.
