     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.
