*This roleplay was inspired by the book Dead Beautiful by Yvonne Woon*


*Insert Male Name Here* is a Non Mortuus (undead). He died *Insert reason of death here* When he was 16 years old. He has risen from the dead but with no Soul. He must find his soul so he can become human again. He must find it before 21 years after his death have passed. If he does not, his body will start to decay at a rapid rate, and he will die for good. But there are ways to post pone the decaying process. He could take the soul from a plebeian (human) who does not have his soul. It will give him two extra years to "live". But *Insert male name here* has never done it because of his morals.


Its been 20 years since *insert male name here* died when he was 16. He is 36 years old now. He has a year left to live before he starts to decay. Two months into his last year, he meets a girl. Her name is Jessica. they fall in love, deeply in love. There's just one problem, Jessica has his soul. What will *instert male name here* do? He loves Jessica, he doesn't want to take her life away. But he doesn't want to die and leave Jessica all alone. He has to tell her that hes a Non Mortuus, but how will he tell the love of his life...well after life, that hes dead and that she has his soul. And if he doesn't get it back, he will die.


More Info on Non Mortuus:


Non Mortuus are gorgeous. They are extreamly attractive. They are very strong aswell. They are impervious to the cold. Their skin is ice cold, as is their breath. Ther limbs are very stiff. They are also fluent in Latin. (Latin is the language of the dead) Non Mortuus dont feel normal emotions. Their emotions are muted. They also dont eat or sleep. The way a Non Mortuus takes a soul is by touching lips with a person. (It looks like a kiss, bt in actuallity, the Non Mortuus is sucking its soul back into its body.) Non Mortuus can only be children. If someone under the age of 21 dies, they come back to life after 10 days. But if they are 21 or older, they die and dont come back to life. Children have 21 years after they die to find their soul. If they find it and take it, they become human again and live out a normal life. But if they dont, then once the 21 year mark hits, they start decaying rapidly, and they die for good. On that note, Non Mortuus can not be killed by normal means. They can only die after the decaying process.
 
A loud buzzing sound went off in Jessica's ear, waking her up with a start. She looked over at her alarm clock and groaned, hitting the snooze button aggressively. She yawned as she stuffed her face into her pillow. She gave another hardy groan before slowly climbing out of bed and starting her day. Her dog, Tiny, followed her around as she gathered her cloths together. As Jessica picked up her towel and headed to the bathroom she looked down at her dog. Tiny gave her a happy smile and bark and Jessica chuckled to herself.


"You know I'd like a little privacy whilst I take my shower Tiny." She said to her dog. Tiny sat down in front of the bathroom door with his happy smile. Jessica giggled and went into the bathroom to start getting ready.
 
Micheal was already awake watching tv until he had to go to work. He never went to sleep in the first place, he didn't need to as he was a Non Mortuus and didn't miss it one bit. He spend most of the night working as a barman at a local night club, were, though he wasn't good a mixing drinks tricks, hiss looks attracted the female clientele. It was fair job despite the occasional unruly drunk customer forcing Micheal to play bouncer. It was also the place were he me Jessica of which he was eternally grateful and regretful at the same time. The free time after work in the bar and his work in the factory was spend trying to figure out the Sophie choice between his life and Jessica's or tried to avoid thinking about it with tv or exercise. In neither was he successfully.


He heard Maya waking up from her sleep next to him and he padded her.


"Morning, girl. Sleep well?" He asked watching her look up at him and yawning before letting out a bark.""I take it as yes. Good girl. I suppose its time for me to get changed and go to work. After that we are going to meed Jessica and Tiny..., " Maya barked happily instantly."I knew you would like to hear that."


He got up and went to have a shower, letting cold water spray down on him. It wasnt like he could feel it beyond its presence on him. He got dressed and after a guick pet of Maya, he stepped out of his house.
 
Jessica's alarm clock began going off again while she was in the shower. With a curse and a rush, Jessica got out of the shower, threw her towel on and ran to her alarm, tripping over her feet on her way. She shut the alarm off, for good this time and sighed. She ran her fingers through her hair to find she still had soap in her pixie cut. She groaned.


"I'm just going to sink rinse it." She said to herself, turning around to head to the bathroom once more.


After she had gotten dressed and ready. She sauntered into her kitchen and sighed, looking around for breakfast. She thought for a moment before letting out a long, loud sigh.


"I need to go grocery shopping...." She muttered. She picked up her coat and put on her shoes. She grabbed Tiny's leash and called out to her. "Tiny! Come on girl! We're gonna go meet Micheal and Maya!" She yelled. Tiny came bounding over to her. Jessica giggled and clipped the leash onto Tiny's collar. "We're going to have to stop and get mommy breakfast first though." She told Tiny as she walked out of her apartment and headed towards her and Micheal's usual meeting place in the park.
 
Michael walked towards the park with Maya walking next to him, she never seemed to need a leash to keep her following him. In fact he never had any idea why she followed him, she was pup then i guess maybe she saw him as a new parent or maybe it has something to do with his zombie state. Not that he complained, maya was his closest companion until Jessica, he had few friends since his death or did he....Seems to find it harder to remember things as the years go by.


"I am gonna tell her.., Maybe not the soul part but the fact that i am dead and take it from there."He spoke to Maya though truly was just thinking out loud. The only thing Maya could provide in the discussion was a whine but it helped him think. Suddenly Maya barked happily and run off into the park, in life this would make him smirk. he knew who she found and rushed after her.
 
Jessica smiled upon seeing Michael and Maya. She giggled as Maya ran towards her. Tiny barked and jumped and tried to run to Maya but lightly tugged on her leash.


"No, Tiny." She said sternly. Once Maya had made her way over to the two, Jessica squatted down and pet her happily. "Hello Maya! Did you miss me? Yeah.." She giggled and smiled up at Micheal as he walked over. "Good morning Micheal." She said to him.
 
"Morning, love."He said walking up to her and giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. Maya barked happily at the patting before shifting her attention to Tiny and began to play with him. "Not to rough with him Maya. So, Jessica how have you been?"
 
Jessica smiled and let Tiny off her leash so she could play.


"Fine and you?" She asked.
 
"Same old, same old, only looking up when coming to meet you."He said giving her a wink. "Actually i wanted to talk to you about something...."He indicated to a nearby bench."You like to get comfortable?"
 
Jessica blushed and played with the scarf around her neck. She smiled and sat down on the bench.


"Whats up?" She asked curiously.
 
"Well...How do i start a conversation like this..."He said in his way of being nervous though no one would know as he sat down. "I realize i have a few... Well, eccentricities especially when it comes to us. I think i owe you an explanation for that..."
 
Jessica raised her eyebrow with a half smile.


"Micheal Halloween was last month..."
 
"I know but hey, why only have one day for ghouls and monsters."He said jokingly."That was joke but I am serious, Jessica, unfortunately."He gently took her hand and placed on the side of his neck. This was the only way he could think to prove it."Feel pulse through my unusually cold skin?"
 
Jessica's eyes went wide. She quickly took her hand back and looked at Micheal up and down.


"W-What...."
 
"I know right? You should have seen my reaction when i found out."He said trying to easy the shock with a little humor, he deliberate paused with his standard monotone gaze as show of his reaction. He looked down and let out a sigh." I have just a few months left unless i find my soul or a soul to extend my time a little bit.."

"What specifically do you want to know?" He asked not sure how to explain.
 
Jessica gave a small chuckle


"What.....what are you....I......" Jessica stood and went over to Tiny. She put the leash back on her collar before turning back to Micheal. "I....I need some time to think......" She turned and started walking back towards her house. "Please follow me, please follow me...."
 
(you girls and your mixed messages.;-))


"Jessica..."He muttered watching her leave. He cursed himself, he shouldn't have told her. It was too much to take in in at once, she now probably thinking of him as a freak of nature or at best a crazy person. He wondered what he should do, follow her and try to explain further or give her her space. He hang back figuring it would be safer just to let her be. He sat down again and Maya approached him resting her head on his thigh and looking up him with sad whine."Yep, missed up nicely didnt i?"
 
Once she was far enough away, Jessica looked over her shoulder. Upon seeing that Micheal wasn't following her heart sank and she turned back around and walked briskly towards her apartment.


Once at her apartment, she let Tiny off her leash and the little puppy went running off to find Spike. Jessica plopped down on her couch and sighed trying to wrap her head around what had just happened in the park.


"What the hell is a Non-Morrtous?" She asked herself. She sighed and picked up her laptop and began typing away.
 
Michael let Jessica process the news, taking Maya for a walk around the park and nearby roads. He let Maya drag him about to ingrossed on what to do next, eventually found himself outside Jessica's apartment. He looked at Maya for a minute and wondered if she intentionally brought them her. She just sat that her panting.


"You cheeky bitch, but maybe your right."He said to her before walking up to Jessica's door and knocked twice.
