    virtual popstar with mirr-branded     
 gloves,  reaching out  from shadowy data 
 centeres,  with  a sly  grin.  she  will 
 take   your   hand  if  you   let   her. 
           she will not let go.           
                                          
 but before any of this is possible,  you 
 must earn  some  personal time  together 
 with the world's most famous influencer! 
                                          
                                      
  
                                      
                                          
 most people are  aware that she's a mirr 
  company product, though their relation  
 is   somewhat  unclear.  there  is  avid 
 speculation  into who's her actor,  many 
 believing  there  to me more  than  one. 
 what    they   don't   know    is   that 
           featherbite is an ai.          
                                          
     years of relentless training, of     
 grinding test  audiences  to  dust,  and 
 here  is  now  this  program running  on 
 mirr's supercluster, trained to  amass a 
  dedicated and affectable audience. her  
        appearance, her voice, her        
  mannierisms... are weapons, pointed at  
     the public, instilling addiction,    
         dependence, and loyalty.         
                                          
                                      
  
                                      
                                          
  featherbite's social media accounts are 
     constantly pushing for donations,    
 recommending  her to  friends, or  other 
 contributions. at the center  of this is 
 an  official  fanclub,  operating  on  a 
     system of reward and punishment.     
                                          
 those who  play  along will  be rewarded 
 with  larger  perks, while those who are 
      uncooperative or try to expose      
 featherbite  will  be  punished.  due to 
 the  addictive  nature  of  exposure  to 
    featherbite, being denied access at   
 this  stage   often   leads  to  painful 
 withdrawal.  just  the  threat of  it is 
                effective.
