     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.
