Parrish was one such new arrival. He'd found himself on the island midday, and after wandering around for a good bit to get a feel for the land, he finally encountered another person. He lifted his chin and greeted the stranger with a warm smile.
He was wearing a white T-shirt and his uniform pants with hiking boots. He'd taken his deputy issue uniform shirt off, and had it tied around his waist. He was, for the most part, a friendly guy. He liked meeting new people, so he was greeting this stranger with a calm and casual presence. He was entirely relaxed. Everyone was here for the same reason, after all. They chose to be here.
And as the new guy, Parrish needed to be not just friendly, but open minded as well. He might need assistance sometime, so he wanted to make friends with as many people as he could. He'd start with this one. "Hello, friend," he said with a nod and a grin.
