     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.
