Faye notes the nervous look Maddox is giving the dog and tries to distract the canine with offers to pet him. Come here doggy! The pink man will give you attention!
“Why thank you, darling,” he smiles, preening at Sam’s compliment. He is totally a sucker for flattery. “It’s so sad there aren’t a lot more men in this color. I think it’s just so beautiful!”
“Oooh, goody!” Faye perks when Brock drops off his hot dog.

Maddox all but inhales his first hot dog as soon as Brock passes it to him, his meta-hunger overriding the part of him sobbing over the idea of eating food that he hasn't carefully kept clean and sterile. Enhanced immune system. Must remember the enhanced immune system. Everything with be oookay.
He's only a little slower eating his second hotdog.
Along with quenching his hunger, eaten also has the benefit of stuffing his mouth, so he can let Brock do all the talking without looking rude or something. Talking is much better left to Brock. Maddox thinks he has a metaphorical foot permanently stuck in his mouth, and wishes Dr. Hook could have surgically removed that along with the large chunk of Maddox's biological organs.
Which doesn't stop him from mumbling, "I like pink," around his mouthful of meat, bread, and condiments while he stares intently at the tabletop.

The dog barks and promptly moves into the petting range of the man who's calling his attention. His eyes narrow in bliss but his tail never stops its avid wagging.
Samuel smiles at Faye's enthusiastic attitude and Maddox's petite mumble before answering Brock: "Yes, I am from around here. Although this park is a bit of a long walk distance to be honest. But with my two part-time jobs during the week this is the only day in which I can do lightning mcdog there some justice." as an afterthought he adds with a grin "Although perhaps if it starts racing people for a hobby, I might need to look for a racetrack instead of a park."
"Anyway, I make coffee for café customers on some days, and I drive people from the airport to any company they have an appointment with on others. What about you guys? What do you do to make this world a wonderful place?"

"Two-part time jobs," Brock says, shaking his head. "This economy, man. I feel you, bro." He pauses for another bite of hot dog before responding to Samuel's question.
"I fly fast planes, defend the innocent from tyranny, and occasionally get to shoot bad guys in the head from so far away they can barely hear the gunshot," he states, pointing to the letters USMC emblazoned on his grey T-shirt.

“Uh, well!” Faye laughs awkwardly, half distracted by the pooch. “Underwear modeling,” he says, straightening so that he could take a bite out of his own food. Also stripper but that’s generally not a topic for polite human conversation? Either way, it sounds pretty awkward after Brock’s job description.
He gives Maddox a slightly amused look at the quickly vanishing hot dogs, winking and tittering, “Aw, sweetheart, if I’d a known I was gonna run into you, I’d a worn something even brighter!”

Maddox gives Faye a thankful look as he draws off the attention of the slobbering, shedding monstrosity, then quickly redirects his attention to his final hot dog, nibbling at it at a much more sedate pace.
"Um," Maddox says, trying to figure out how exactly to phrase his particular - and surprisingly well-paying- occupation without giving away anything classified. "Donated my body. To science."
Faye's teasing brings the flush back to Maddox's cheeks and ears. Brighter pink! How can Faye possibly get more pink?

"They won't hear the gunshot if they're shot in the head; bullets switch them off before the audio reaches their ears - which will be missing valuable parts if you shoot from such a long distance. Lasers are even faster" Samuel corrects instantly without giving it any thought. He blinks and looks at the three of them, grinning sheepishly and scratching the back of his head, "Woah! Those are some pretty unique jobs right there! I feel outdone, guys."
He takes another bite from his own food, and a sip of soda, munching.
Faye is still petting and cuddling the hound? The dense fur that's being ruffled loses the warmth it stored from the day's sun and replaces it with a freezing temperature emanating from within.*
*Sorry, dog has a few properties that are the same in any situation.

Brock blinks, pausing in mid-bite. "Ballistics enthusiast?" he asks, giving Skid-Z a weird look.

Faye pauses mid-bite and gives Samuel a flat look. “Dude. Eating.” Yeah, okay, talking about blowing people’s heads open when he’s eating. That’s fine too.
He glances curiously up at Maddox at his job description. Huh! Maybe that explained the new strength? Faye will poke at Brock and Mad for details about that later!

Maddox makes a small whimpering noise around his mouthful of food and eyes the remainder of his last hot dog queasily. He maintains a vivid imagination when it comes to death and injury and discussion of bullets meeting people's brains just really puts a guy off his appetite.
Yeah, becoming a super-soldier was totally the best career choice for him.

"Ah! NO! I'm sorry... I'm a sci-fi geek... sorry... I'll talk about spaceships next time." But Samuel takes a big bite of his snack to make sure he won't be talking soon.
I think that Skid-z and the dog might hang around for about one or two more posts. Then the group can have their 'robots in disguise' club meeting =D

"Oh, Mad'll talk about spaceships with you all day long," Brock says, nodding as he takes a sip of Lemon-Lime Sports Drink brand electrolyte beverage. "Right Mad? Didn't you just get another new model kit?"
Talking about killing people doesn't really bother him. He's killed tons of people. He's aware that it bothers other people, though.
OOC: Technically, Skid-Z ought to be in the club, too, except no-one knows he is a member!

Farlane has killed his fair share of people too when he had still been part of the Autobots. Despite having been created for war however, he finds himself reluctant to enjoy talking about heads being blown off at lunch tables ever since he’s left the Autobots.
“Oooh, I love spaceships!” Faye exclaims before taking a bite. He swallows before continuing cheerfully. “My personal favorite is the J-type 327 Naboo Royal Cruiser from... one of the Star Wars movies. Anyways, the movies were pretty forgettable but that was a really, really nice ship design.” The pink car was a spacer and if there was one thing spacers very quickly came to appreciate, it was sexy spaceships, man.

Maddox lights up like a bulb at the first mention of 'spaceship'. He nods enthusiastically at Brock's mention of his model. "Yeah! I got one of the, uh, Decepticon ship-" He blushes a little here. "-It's probably not very accurate, though." Unfortunately.
He gives Faye a look of wide-eyed surprise as the man expresses his own interest in spaceships. He purses his lips, though, and says, "I guess it's aesthetically pretty pleasing, but a ship with a shiny hull like that is pretty impractical. It's just going to reflect everything right back at other ships' sensors like a bit sign shouting 'Hey, look at me, I'm right here!'. Y'know?"

Samuel smiles as it's evident that spaceships are a much better subject. He takes the last bite from his hotdog and washes it down with a sip of his soda, listening to the others. "Wow! You really collect models too? Cool! Not much of a kit builder myself but most of the movies I own have these awesome on-ship and space scenes. It's like a glimpse of what it's like to be out there, you know?"
The dog perks up an ear, tears its gaze from the surroundings back to the table and tilts its head. It makes one little whine sound before avidly wagging its tail.
Skid-Z might join the club at some point!
