The player may encounter other characters that may impede their progress, such as "Principal of the Thing", "It's a Bully", and "Playtime". The principal locks the player in [[School detention|detention room]], after breaking one of the school rules, such as running in the halls or entering the teacher's lounge. The bully takes one of the player's [[Item (game terminology)|items]] upon interaction, and Playtime forces the player to [[Skipping rope|jump rope]]. Items are scattered around the school, which the player can use, for instance, by cutting Playtime's rope, temporarily preventing her from stopping them via [[safety scissors]]. As well, they must manage their limited stamina.okai
