    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.
