Vergil never smiled. Not in those days, anyway. A few too many shots led him to take his blue-collar aggression out on some traveling voodoo master at the bar one night, and he paid in full. Some days after the incident, he woke up with a small tree growing out of his back. It ruined his life. Debt, homelessness, and utter depression ensued. The worst part is, I was the only friend who stood at his side, but what can I say? I liked the guy.
A few weeks after he was evicted and divorced, he knocked at my door. Of course, this happened to be at five o' clock in the morning, but the sight and smell of a seven-foot, middle-aged, homeless weretree tends to wake one up rather quickly. "Vergil," I grumbled. "What's up, man?"
He replied with much ranting and an abundance of curse words. His intentions were soon clearly stated: "I'm gonna kill that voodoo motherfucker."
In those days, I was very into adventuring, so I grabbed my drug stash and withdrew all my money from the bank. We bought two .45 automatics (a fucking amazing choice, by the way) and a junked convertible. If there was one thing Vergil was good for, it was for getting a piece of shit like that to run, which he did in short time, and we left. When I finally thought about it, I realized it was a good decision. What else was I leaving behind, aside from my woman and my job?
And so our adventure began.
