     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.
