A Simple Guy

Denny's the name. Fishing's the game. Find me by the dock and I might teach you some of my secrets. ((Part of the HM Masterlist))

Would you ever change your name?

Nah. Gotta keep my brand recognition. I'd bet people would be confused if I started calling myself Joey or Nico.

What song do you feel fits you best?

Isn't it obvious? Pretty Girl Swag by Ciara.

If a man killed another man in space, would that be fucked up or what?

... [tilts head to the side] ...?I guess that would be pretty messed up. I mean, if you're in space, there's no one there to try and save you. So that's kinda playing dirty if you ask me.

What is your fondest childhood memory?

I'll always remember the day I caught my first big fish. My pop took me out on his boat one morning. I was so tired cus the sun wasn't even up. I barely noticed when my line began to tug like crazy. When I came to, I wrestled and pulled right back and was rewarded splendidly. A tuna. And a mighty big one at that. My old man was so proud of me, he took my picture and shook my hand.That thing tasted pretty damn good, too.

Do you like the most simple, primitive life you live, or would you prefer a life more thrilling?

Hah. A simple life trumps all. I still have excitement in my life, but no commitment. As long as I've got my boat and my rod, I'm happy.

Birds of a Feather || Denny and Popuri

[pink-chickadee]

"Food?" Popuri drew her eyes from the bird and back to the man’s face. With a sweet smile, she walked past him and opened up the shop door with her key. "I’ll open just a bit early for you, then. Can’t have little Popper being hungry for too long!"

She held the door open for him, her sweet smile still present on her face. “C’mon in! I’m Popuri, by the way.” After he had walked through the door, she made sure to close it behind him before walking behind the counter. Taking out a small bag of chicken feed, she placed it onto the counter and opened it up for the bird. “Here you go, Popper! Eat up, cutie~”

[birdontheshoulder]

Denny's smile lit up and he nodded. "Thank you very much ma'am. He greatly appreciates it. As do I."

He stepped into the shop and looked around. "We don't have a place like this on the island. I might be back. In fact, I will surely be back. My name's Denny and I'll be certain to come a little later next time."

He approached the counter, dipped his hand into the bad and held some of the seed out for Popper, who gratefully began to peck away at it. "How much do I owe you now?"

Birds of a Feather || Denny and Popuri

[pink-chickadee]

After tending to all of the chickens and letting them out of the coop and into the yard, Popuri was going to help her mother open the store. It was almost time to open, so when she saw an unfamiliar man waiting at the door, she approached him from behind timidly.

"Um, excuse me, but we aren’t quite open for the day yet… But, may I help you?" When she was close enough and was able to see him better, she couldn’t help but think he looked a bit like Kai. It was probably the tanned skin and the bandana. Yeah, definitely the bandana. That’s when Popuri spotted the little bird on his shoulder and got distracted. "Oh, hi there little guy~ You’re such a cutie!"

[birdontheshoulder]

Denny jumped slightly when he heard a sudden voice but quickly gained his composure and smiled wide. The voice was from a cute lady with striking pink hair. "Oh, sorry, miss. I'll hang around 'til you are cause once I get this little guy food, I'm gonna head back to my home."

Nodding over to Popper, he coaxed the tiny bird onto his hand and held him out. "Popper says hi to you, too, ma'am."

Birds of a Feather || Denny and Popuri

Mynah birds can't be that much different from chickens, right? 

Denny rocked back and forth on his heels outside the poultry farm, turning his neck to see if anybody was around. The actual store area was dark and the door was locked. But actually kind of needed bird seed. Popper was hungry and Denny felt uncomfortable giving him "people food."

Hopefully someone was around to help him.

My Headgear is Better Than Yours [Denny&Pete]

Denny liked to make his rounds to all the other beaches in the area. Just for a change of scenery and nothing else. Sunshine Island had the best fishing around, but that isn't to say the young man didn't enjoy testing the waters of other towns.

He watched Popper float lazily over the small waves while he adjusted his hook, replacing the bait before casting it back out again. All that was left to do was wait.

Much to his surprise, none of the town's residents had approached him. Usually people wanted to know about the strange visitor who did nothing but fish.
