    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.
