     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.
