Editing DRYH: Damaged Souls - Bastion Graves (section)

==Five Questions==
'''WHAT'S BEEN KEEPING YOU AWAKE?''' The sound of rolling dice, the exquisite clinking of stacked chips. The ruffled shuffling of cards and the clatter of the roulette ball. I just can't stop. I have to win. I'm on a lucky streak and if I pause for even a second I know everything will go straight to Hell.

'''WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO YOU?''' I got angry. This sleazy gangster was this close to stealing away the blackjack pot -- I knew he was counting cards! -- and I just couldn't take it anymore. But as I gave him a death glare when the final cards came up, my jaw unconsciously working like I was mentally chewing on his soul, he just disappeared completely! Vanished into thin air. Strangest thing was that nobody really noticed, as if he'd never been there to begin with. I won the pot of course, but I can't help but be creeped out.

'''WHAT'S ON THE SURFACE?''' Well-kept red hair and beard. A toned body with pale skin kept smooth and soft by frequent massages and spa treatments. A matchless white toothy grin. Rings on his fingers and jewels on his cufflinks. A pair of dice in one hand and a spread of cards in the other. Even his comfort clothes are brand-name and worth thousands. A sleek new Maserati that gets all the ladies. He's a man who's got it all.

'''WHAT LIES BENEATH?''' A man in his mid-thirties who's so tired of life that even the thrill of winning is beginning to grow stale and boring. He's badly depressed and he knows it, but his apathy has gotten so bad he can't do anything about it. He's got nothing left in this world besides winning, and once his luck runs out, he knows his life will too.

'''WHAT IS YOUR PATH?''' Bastion has to find something to give his life meaning again, or he's going to meet a bad end. To that front he desperately indulges in his gambling, risking everything for the thrill of possible ruin while beautiful but shallow women hang off his arms and most of his meals involve an unhealthy dose of liquor. But it isn't enough. In his spare time he's been trying some new age spiritual techniques, but the results have been less than satisfactory.
