    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.
