     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.
