    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.
