This drabble: bounced into my head and fortunately didn't grow long enough to get stuck on. It's not RPF or bandfic if they were actually in the movie, is it?
Fandom: Tron (post-Legacy)
Genre: G, gen, drabble
Summary: Every now and then, the deejays remind their listeners how it used to be.
Title:
Boost
A nod across the booth, and everything goes dark.
It's something they do once a cycle or so, when the mood's shifted from joyous to frenetic, the audience using them to hide instead of energize. It isn't silence; their hands still play across the boards, their art pulsing unheard through the rippling space, a silent resonance muffling voices and canceling small sounds. Snatches of white light, fleeting electric shivers, flicker among the crowd.
Programs pause, baffled, and then go still, blinking slowly as if waking, the mirrors falling from their eyes.
The User may be gone, but the deejays remember.
