     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.
