     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.
