    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.
