Lucky 13

[Florien]

This is ridiculous, we're voting now, before the contestants have had time to prepare their dishes?! This is a terrible game show slash fight to the death! To clarify, by dishes, I mean show their various mettles, obviously. You bring shame upon your name, Penstate, with such a poorly construed scheme. This does not make you look serious, it makes you look weak-willed! One might even say... delusional! This is not clever, this is merely the intimidation tactic of one who dares not come up with a true cunning and devious plan to eliminate everyone they've captured.

Nerva slams one of his many blahajes down upon the table, creating an unimpressive "whmf" noise.

And you expect a cat to vote? It may not even speak english! Or is this cat even part of the plan? Was there just a cat in the store and you couldn't be bothered to move it somewhere else? Even if it could speak english, it probably couldn't write down its conclusion, which would presumably be that two potentially murderous robots possessed by the very spirits of two dangerous tech conglomerate companies are a bigger threat than one of anything else currently here!

Nerva pauses for far too long to let that sink in.

To be clear that is the conclusion that a cat might come to. I am sure it has its own logic, and will probably simply immediately lose interest in the ballot box and go hide in a corner because cats presumably do not know how voting works and it is unclear how they would vote if they could.
