    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.
