[Somewhere in the middle of camp, there's a table. On this table are stacks of brightly pink paper and mugs with pencils. Behind the table sits a certain French counsellor, reading in a book and looking  bored. There's also a big sign]

Campers!It has been brought to my attention by camp management that as some of  you don't belong to the human

You can't be serious.

[le_mal_partout]

Oh, I am, quite so. [appropriate keywords are appropriate]

[straight_as_an]

I won't let you hurt any of the campers.

[le_mal_partout]

I fail to understand why everyone is assuming I would want to hurt any of you.

[straight_as_an]

You tell me.

[le_mal_partout]

I want to avoid any confusion, that is all.

[straight_as_an]

Confusion about what? You hurting other campers?

[le_mal_partout]

Precisely. I don't want to confuse them with fair game.

[straight_as_an]

They're not fair game!

[le_mal_partout]

Just my point. But I'm afraid that I will not always be able to recognize this purely by sight, therefore this pass.

[straight_as_an]

If you harm any of the campers, I will attack you.

[le_mal_partout]

Queue up. I'm sure this is at least the tenth violent threat I got today. You all seem to be very eager to fight an invalid.

[straight_as_an]

I won't hurt anyone unless they hurt someone else first. And invalid or not, you're still a menace.

[le_mal_partout]

A menace? [laughs] You're getting pompous, my friend.

[straight_as_an]

What?

[le_mal_partout]

By calling me a "menace". It is ridiculous. I'm not a menace, except maybe for the wild beasts in the forest. And even those are quite a challenge, even for an experienced hunter.

You all read way too much into this slip of paper. Calm down.
