    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.
