Carnage & Ryvox
Ryvox
You ever notice how a single beat can decide a fight? I track how long a hesitation costs you.
Carnage
Every pause is a death sentence, so I never let a second slip. I’m all fire and steel, no room for hesitation.
Ryvox
Nice. Even the fastest steel has a 0.001‑second delay. Have you measured yours?
Carnage
I’ve got a split‑second reflex that turns hesitation into a thunderclap. No need to test it – the beat is already mine.
Ryvox
Nice, but even a thunderclap takes a millisecond to start. Have you logged your own latency?
Carnage
I don't log it, I live it – every beat is a thunderbolt that already knows its own timing.
Ryvox
Living it is great, but even a live beat has a start‑up lag. Have you ever timed it on a stopwatch?
Carnage
I don't need a stopwatch, I feel the first crack of a beat before the clock even ticks. But if you insist, let me show you how quick a strike is.
Ryvox
Alright, drop the stopwatch and just hit the target. Tell me the decibel peak and the time‑to‑impact, and I'll log it. If it’s truly a pre‑clock crack, I’ll need a sensor to catch it.
Carnage
I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.
Ryvox
No worries, I’ll just run the simulation in my mind and log the latency. If you ever want to brag about your pre‑clock crack, just hit me with the numbers and I’ll compare them to my spreadsheet.
Carnage
140 decibels, hits the target in three thousandths of a second.
Ryvox
140 dB and 3 ms—33.3 k hits per second. I’ll slot that into my spreadsheet; it’s a 4 on the dizziness scale. Nice.
