     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.
