PreviousDo a handstand, then twirl around in a circle.
We shall first assert ourselves as a very special bunny. We cannot force them to kneel yet. But they will eventually know to fear our name.

+1. I guess brainwashing comes later.
As if on command, you balance yourself on your front front paws, curl your hind-legs forward and begin to walk in a straight line. After a while you lose your balance (small paws) but manage to pivot your body on one paw so that you spin around and then spring off it to land on your back feet. The children laugh and applaud you, but the adults are wide-eyed and silent. You do a little bow.
Suddenly you feel exhausted, it seems higher kinesthetic function has sapped your godly strength (
-1 MP). Bend reality further at your peril.
Several more weeks pass. Eve's faith in you grows stronger (
Belief up!). Crowds begin to gather around the village to watch your antics. Eve's parents begin charging people to watch. A little routine with flaming hoops and an obstacle course is made. You spend your godly powers entertaining children. Demeaning, yes, but with each day the believers grow.
(Believers up!) They consider Fluffy to be a blessing from a major god, Sumidu, god of wealth, grain and harvest. They begin to advertise you as such, you are little annoyed that Sumidu is getting all the credit, but some of the prayers trickle down to you and you gain some power.
Years pass. Eve is now 12. Fluffy is an adult rabbit. Her family has prospered through your efforts, they believe strongly in you, consider Fluffy a part of their family.
One day the neighboring village, suffering from a year long drought, arm themselves and invade Eve's village. The villagers try to defend their homes...but the stomach-tearing greed of the parents with starving babies, the blood-crazed march of the farmers with fallow land, the awful darkness of desperation, is not that which can be defended against.
Eve's village falls. Her father is slain, along with the rest of the men in the village. Eve and her mother are taken captive as slaves. Eve keeps Fluffy safe and he survives. But you and her are changed, forever. Her, for witnessing the terror humanity is capable of, you, for being powerless to stop it.
(Believers down! Belief down!)What do you do? (( Sorry guys, the law of equality must hold... ))
