WHO: Artemis & Yosuke
WHAT: Stockroom shenanigans aw yeah.
WHEN: Jan 31st.
WHERE: Juane's stockroom.
WARNINGS: Don't think so, will edit if necessary.

As a result of a (totally unintentional) argument with a customer while clerking, store management had decided to temporarily move her to the stockroom.

The problem with that was that there was a lot of downtime, and Artemis had never enjoyed boredom. She'd found a secluded corner that no one really bothered and set herself up some target dummies made out of boxes. Restringing her bow could prove expensive, so she wanted to be absolutely sure she was still good with her knife throwing skills.

The first round, she missed two out of ten, which wasn't bad but wasn't that great either. She pulled them loose and started again, muttering which part of the bodies drawn on the boxes she was aiming for just before she threw.

So maybe her concentration had been a little bit one-track. Normally she would have heard Yosuke coming from a couple rows down and stopped in plenty of time to sit down and pretend she was just aimlessly doodling in a notebook or something. She saw him just a bit too late to stop her throw, though, and winced as it whizzed through the air past him. There wasn't any chance of it actually hitting him - she'd set herself up in a relatively clear space, and the nearest blind spot was still several feet away from the path of her knives. He would have to have been at a dead run to get in its path before she saw him.

Still, this could definitely have gone down better, given the noise he'd just made and the general look on his face. Normal people probably didn't throw knives on their break, but between school and her two jobs she needed to grab whatever time she could for practice.

She stalked over to retrieve her knives to buy a little bit of time to consider what to say. "You want to try?" she called over her shoulder after a moment. "Everyone needs a hobby."
