I have been telling some people of all the fond memories I have of the short interactions I had with Denn, the player and with the roleplayer.
I went to check out his characters' lodestone pages (see if Cicero was changed or what not) and saw that you all changed it to <DENN> and I just started to tear up.
Denn always added so much fun to whatever he was doing, in game, in roleplay... in raid. I fondly remember him losing a roll and allowing Kage to knock Denn out by having thrown Kage up into the air and as Kage fell down, Denn's eyes were blinded by the sun and she was knocked out by Kage's shield. In another scene, Denn accepted Kage's invitation to the Ball in Ul'dah as a date. And in another when Denn was going around as a Bandit, Denn sent me a tell asking me if certain things could go ahead. Kage had just gotten shanked in the Quicksand by Denn's lover. Denn and Kage had a linkpearl to communicate and so the idea would be that Denn would contact Kage in concern asking about his whereabouts. Denn, in disguise, would burst in like a Kool-Aid Roegadame. It didn't quite end up that way due to the sheer amount of people who ended up in those scenes but it was a truly memorable scene.
Denn was one of the first in the Ul'dah Raid group (but certainly not the last) to welcome me as I pugged in for T1-4. Our very first meeting was a great positive. Our last was no less different as he helped close out a roleplay arc for a few of us that his character Cyrinius'li Cicero played a part in.
Denn also played some games outside of FFXIV with me, helping me learn that Sins of a Solar Empire is truly a pirate's space.
It's really just unfair. I remember his talks about work and school, talking about the field he was in. I'd always silently cheered him on, thinking he would get there. No doubt in my mind that would be the case.
