    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.
