The sound room
The Oscars Committee had hired J&J Studios as the sound equipment operators for the Event , and J&J were hungry. "hey, Joey, you want a Snickers or something?" "why? Where ya gonna get one?" "oh, I don't know, maybe the snack machine?" the first guy, Jim, retorted. "hey! Don't get snappy with me; we both been workin our asses off tryin'a get this stuff ready. Not. Just. You." Now Jim felt ashamed, and apologized. Then the two, grinning, set off for their prize.
But when they came back, the smiles disappeared. The sound room's door was securely locked. "did you close the door behind us?" asked Jim. "no," Joey replied. Then they heard shuffling around…someone was in there. "HEY! LET US IN! WE'RE THE SOUND GUYS!" shouted Joe. No reply.
In the theatre (cause that's where they hold the awards; in some theater.)
Celebrities and their guests had been quietly mingling, seeing people they hadn't seen in months; not since they'd worked on [insert film here] together. They were talking and laughing and remembering the past, generally ignoring the elevator music playing in the background. Suddenly, it was as if the entire atmosphere had changed. Instead of the quiet 'you've been put on hold indefinitely' music, there was loud techno pumping through every speaker in the Kodak theatre. People began to look up, noticing the change, grinning. Some had even started dancing. "Hey, they finally realized they don't want us going to sleep!" one girl said. Her friend nodded, bobbing her head in tune.
Outside, between security checkpoint (cause this is the User world, after all.)and concession stand
The Tron: Legacy group had all been through the metal detectors and were cleared through. Now, though, that meant they were back in the crazy throng of people shouting things at them. But they all decided enough was enough when a fellow nominee shoved their way through the group; making their way to Rinzler, and joyfully hanging onto his arm began babbling. Rinzler wasn't fazed, though. He merely looked at the hanger-on and growled. "user…." And shook the poor guy off to the floor.
meanwhile, Clu was staring in awe at the scene before him. At a clear glass counter, a woman was taking fluffy-looking yellow stuff out of a box sitting on the counter and adding a yellow substance to it (energy?). inside the counter sat all kinds of things with rather odd User world names. "…what. Is that?" he wondered aloud. Quorra smirked; it was her turn to show the system admin that she knew a thing or two. "it's called a 'concession stand', Clu. It's where Users can get nourishment." "what, man, you want some popcorn?" Flynn had stood off to the side, quietly listening in just in case they got into a fight. "No, I have no use for User nourishment." Clu said rather snottily. "I do! I want some!" said Quorra. Flynn wound up buying 3 boxes; one for Quorra, one for Alan, and one for himself; he suspected the other two were not in a sharing mood. Then they all went and took their seats, only to hear "HEY! WHERE'S THE BOSS? THESE TWO I don't know who or what the heck they are GUYS LOCKED ME AND JOE OUT THE SOUND BOOTH! THEY'RE TAKIN OVER, MAN!"((a/n: actually what j&j don't know is, there's only one Guy…))Flynn did a facepalm and shook his head. He turned to Tron, Rinzler and Clu. "if you three even think about moving, I'll glue you to your seats!" Tron looked perturbed. "what if I have to go to the bathroom?"
