     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.
