    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.
