    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.
