    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.
