    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.
