     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.
