Day 3. Gaming/Watching A Movie

"What on earth are you watching?" Claudia asked, walking into Artie's office, closely tailed by Pete. Artie startled, minimizing the browser and spinning around in his chair, sending a few loose rhinestones skittering across the floor. "Nothing. None of your business!" he said defensively. Pete and Claudia exchanged a quick, knowing look. "What are you-" Artie asked, cut off as Claudia pounced, shoving her way in between Artie and the computer. "Nope! Nope! Come on, lets see what you're up too!" she said in response to Arties protests. Pete was holding his shoulder, preventing any retaliation that he was giving. Maximizing the browser once again, Claudia stepped away from the computer. "Is that...what I think it is?" she asked, puzzled. "Not what I thought it would be..." said Pete, letting go of Artie's shoulders. "Yes, okay? It's Pride and Prejudice. Is that going to be a problem?" Artie asked, annoyance clearly evident in his voice. He would have to skip back several minutes now to get back to the place where he had been. "Dude, why are you watching Pride and Prejudice?" Claudia asked, laughing. Artie sighed, adjusting his glasses, "It's background noise because I enjoy such things while I work!" he said, standing up and walking over to one of the many boards in the room to put a thumbtack in. "And by work, do you mean...bedazzle things?" asked Claudia, gesturing to the machine which sat next to the computer. "It relaxes me and- wait, why am I even explaining this to you?!" Artie exclaimed, jabbing another thumbtack into the board, which was quite unnecessary. "Is this the Keira Knightley one?" asked Pete, sitting down in Artie's chair and starting the movie back up. It took him a few moments, but upon catching Artie's look, he paused the movie once more and stood up out of the chair. "Don't you have something to do?" Artie asked threateningly. "Right, more inventory. Yaay..." said Claudia, rolling her eyes and leaving the office for the Warehouse. "Enjoy your...Jane Austen..." said Pete uncomfortably before following Claudia. Artie paused for a moment, allowing for Claudia and Pete to get an acceptable distance from his office before hurrying back to his desk and sitting back down, resuming his movie and turning his bedazzler on. The movie was only half finished and, Artie thought, Pete was surely in need of an improved tie...
