###&†=-~¨¨ 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 ¨~-=†###

###&†=-~¨¨ 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. ¨~-=†###
