| 9 | [[caption-width-right:350:She's got quite an intense curriculum ahead of her...]] |
| 10 | |
| 11 | --> '''Ms. Board''': You aren't a Student, are you? You must be a grey-zoner, huh? That's such a funny happenstance, grey-zoners aren't supposed to be able to get here!\ |
| 12 | '''Pink Girl''': ...Grey zone?\ |
| 13 | '''Ms. Board''': It's impossible by all means…. How did you get here?\ |
| 14 | '''Pink Girl''': That's what I’ve been asking YOU! |
| 15 | |
| 16 | The heroine of the story; a ninth grader who was inexplicably spirited from Earth and wound up here. |
| 17 | ---- |
| 18 | * AmnesiacHero: The Pink Girl cannot remember her name. |
| 19 | * BadassNormal: Does quite a lot for a girl with no superpowers or enhanced abilities against enemies who are effectively invincible. [[note]]Aside from the whole guided-by-voices-from-another-dimension thing.[[/note]] |
| 20 | * BecomingTheMask: When they first meet, #42 loudly proclaims that Error '''must''' have come to School to lead a Student revolt against the Teachers. Rather than disabuse her of this notion, Error pretends this is the exactly the case. In the very next school period, she and a select group of friends are plotting counter-maneuvers against the School Staff. Guess who's leading the conversation? |
| 21 | * BoardingSchool: Her original intended destination back on Earth, before she was rerouted to THIS School, instead. |
| 22 | --> '''Ms. Board''': You said... you don't know why you're here? |
| 23 | --> '''Error''': Yeah. Well, the last thing I remember was my parents telling me I was going to a boarding school... |
| 24 | * BookDumb: Her smarts aren't academic smarts. When listening to teacher's lectures, her brain automatically [[BlahBlahBlah tunes them out.]] |
| 25 | * {{Delinquent}}: This girl is a '''hellion.''' |
| 26 | ** Here's a quick look at her rap sheet by the time she's halfway through her second school cycle: lying, bribery, completely trashing the School's art room by dumping paint everywhere, turning her friends into delinquents, stabbing herself in the arm to be excused from class early, ganging up on another Student with a friend, (two-on-one) and stabbing him with a box cutter until he was in critical condition, ganging up on the cafeteria cook with two friends, (three-on-one,) snatching the cook's child away from his parent, before stabbing the cook ''in the eye'' with the same box cutter, and fomenting civil unrest among all her classmates. If this school were more down-to-earth, [[DarthWiki/PaintTheHeroBlack she'd be a villain to be reckoned with.]] |
| 27 | * FriendlyFire: When it comes to throwing weapons, Error is less a "sniper rifle with laser sighting" and more of a "scattergun" as poor #73 learned. |
| 28 | * KnowWhenToFoldThem: Error will battle foes she feels she has a fair chance of beating. But the moment she learns that a given enemy is effectively invulnerable, she'll look for [[TakeAThirdOption other ways]] of dealing with that foe, instead of [[AttackAttackAttack keeping up the assault.]] |
| 29 | * MagneticHero: She ends up gaining LOTS of friends and companions in a relatively short amount of time. Part of it is her winning personality. It also helps that The Principal is a mass murderer, and she has a plan to escape before he enacts doomsday on The School. |
| 30 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She's horrified at how close she came to [[spoiler: killing Jeremy the Hall Monitor. ]] |
| 31 | * NaughtyIsGood: In a learning institution as backwards as The School, where teachers are free to have their students executed, where graduation represents a death sentence instead of a brighter life, isn't it appropriate that the hero be a girl like Error? Irrepressible as she is, all her rule-breaking serves towards a greater good. |
| 32 | * OddballDoppelganger: The 'cover story' Miss Board concocts for the Pink Girl: that she is a 'Factory Error.' Pink Girl maintains this fiction in part to act as a decoy and [[spoiler: deflect notice off of #54. ]] |
| 33 | * SecretKeeper: She's #54's. |
| 34 | * StrangerInAStrangeSchool: She's the stranger in question. |
| 35 | * TheBully: There's evidence she used to be a bully before winding up at this school. |
| 36 | * UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}}: It's implied early on, and more or less confirmed later that she is a trans girl. |
| 37 | * VocalDissonance: According to #73, Pink Girl's voice sounds boyish. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | !! The Commentators |
| 40 | |

| 42 | [[caption-width-right:300:Saving her from the dangers of the School and herself.]] |
| 43 | |
| 44 | --> '''Commentator''': (responding to [[spoiler:The Principal]])"YOU WON'T WIN. I'LL MAKE SURE OF THAT, YOU BUG-EYED IGNORAMUS." |
| 45 | |
| 46 | The mysterious collective of voices inside Error's head who help guide her actions. Technically, they're not Students in and of themselves, but the SecondPerson narrative encourages them to [[PlayerAndProtagonistIntegration think of ''themselves'']] as Error, so... |
| 47 | ---- |
| 48 | |
| 49 | * DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Refuse to bow down to The Principal's God complex. |
| 50 | --> '''Commentator''': 'Lurn' what? How to spell? Or that you're a huge CONK SUNK. |
| 51 | * DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu: Though the 'romancing' doesn't go beyond the Commentators verbally hitting on The Principal. They quickly sense he has no idea how to deal with flirting, though. After they barrage him with enough unwelcome come-ons, he leaves [[spoiler: Error]] like an exorcised demon fleeing a Bible-quoting priest. |
| 52 | * HearingVoices: They're the voices. |
| 53 | * HurricaneOfPuns: They got into a pun-off against the Principal during his Halloween 2015 Takeover. [[spoiler: They won.]] |
| 54 | --> '''Commentator''': yeah well u know why the principal has so many eyes? cuz those contain the only pupils that like him |
| 55 | --> [[spoiler:'''The Principal''': WHY COULDN'T ANNA WATCH A HORROR MOVIE? SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE GUTS!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA]] |
| 56 | --> [[spoiler:'''Ms. Board''': I….I don't get it- …Wait…[[OhCrap What did you do???]]]] |
| 57 | --> [[spoiler:'''The Principal''': HA HA HA]] |
| 58 | --> [[spoiler:'''Ms. Board''': ….WHAT DID YOU DO?!??!?!]] |
| 59 | * ThePowerOfTrust: Whereas Ms. Green is saddled with a 'mixed bag' of Commentators (some helpful, some trollish,) Error's own batch of Commentators seem to be consistently more dependable in their guidance. Thus, she trusts them more wholeheartedly than poor Ms. Green can afford to. |
| 60 | --> '''>Let's roll out the plan''' |
| 61 | --> ''[You're feeling more confident, knowing you're being guided now. You feel like you can do this.]'' |

| 66 | [[caption-width-right:350:And while we're on the subject of how much teachers hate disruptive students...]] |
| 67 | |
| 68 | --> '''#24''': You SURVIVED! That was AMAZING! I never...! |
| 69 | |
| 70 | A girl who reacts in loud astonishment when the math teacher decides not to kill the Pink Girl, in defiance of her expectations. |
| 71 | ---- |
| 72 | |
| 73 | * AnArmAndALeg: Just an arm, actually. It broke off when [[spoiler:she landed in detention.]] |
| 74 | * DyingAsYourself: Somehow, it seems this trope is [[https://41.media.tumblr.com/d4457b7589e2df606a3b3ba95f0d753e/tumblr_npyjyiQtq11uttvoto2_1280.png enacted]] when #24 gets kicked into detention. Later subverted; it turns out she [[spoiler: [[NotQuiteDead survives the fall.]] ]] |
| 75 | * EyeTake: Hers was a dramatic one, indeed, especially for a Student. |
| 76 | * LIsForDyslexia: #24 misread #56's name as #58. |
| 77 | ** LeftItIn: She wasn't originally meant to be dyslexic. |
| 78 | --> '''Yamemada''': [[http://strangeschoolnotsogreat.tumblr.com/post/131050289987/any-trivia-you-have-about-wires-would-be-cool As you guys probably know,]] i kiiiinda screwed up [Wires'] intro by writing 58 instead of 56 and then couldnt fix it because i didnt have my tablet for like a week so due to my mistake i think i accidentally [[WordOfGod canonized 24 having dyslexia.]] |
| 79 | * RoboticReveal: When we see her in detention during the first intermission, it's the first clear sign that Students are all part-machine. |
| 80 | * TheBully: According to #54, #24 had quite a nasty side to her, when teachers weren't supervising her. |
| 81 | --> '''#54''': Like this one time, 24 made 97 eat a whole [[BlahBlahBlah (here, Pink Girl kinda spaces out and loses focus on what #54's actually saying)]] ...blood everywhere! |

| 87 | |
| 88 | --> '''#42''': WE HAVE LOST OUR LOYAL REBELS AGAINST THE NEVERENDING EVIL OF THE PRINCIPAL! MARISKA AND JEREMY HAVE FALLEN, BUT WE WILL NOT MOURN, FOR THEY WILL BE REMEMBERED AS MARTYRS! |
| 89 | --> '''Her Classmates''': (breaking into murmurs) ''"Who the hell is Mariska?" / "She hasn't been expelled yet?" / "Every single lunch period…" / "I didn't like the Hall Monitor anyways." / "We're not even doing anything! Does she really think hiding ciphers in homework and yelling at everyone does anything?"'' |
| 90 | --> '''#42''': OUR REBELLION CONTINUES, MY FRIENDS! WE WILL NOT LOSE THIS BATTLE BEFORE GRADUATION! |
| 91 | |
| 92 | A feisty girl who yearns to incite rebellion against the School staff. |
| 93 | ---- |
| 94 | * AscendedFangirl: #42 manages to be accepted into her heroine's inner circle, and be entrusted to take part in an important secret plot Error cooks up to thwart the Teachers. |
| 95 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}} |
| 96 | --> '''Error''': ...42, can you come a little closer? |
| 97 | --> ''42 flops herself onto your table stomach first, despite being perfectly able to walk around it to sit near you.'' |
| 98 | * HeroWorshipper: Has been hero-worshipping Error since she was processed in the Factory. Error is the inspiration for everything she does. What's more, #42 views all of Error's actions, (past and present) through a pair of tightly cinched 'hero goggles.' Even the more-cowardly stuff Error's done. |
| 99 | --> '''#54''': You say you saw Error in… the factory? |
| 100 | --> '''#42''': Indeed! It was so inspiring! She threw things at the Scavengers as they chased her, even though it did nothing! A true hero, I'd s- |
| 101 | * HotBlooded: Nobody on Error's team is more enthusiastically gung-ho than her. |
| 102 | * IncomingHam: First seen standing atop a lunchroom table, DramaticWind flowing through her hair, loudly exhorting her classmates to rise up in REBELLION! |
| 103 | * KillItWithFire: How she advocates dealing with The Principal. |
| 104 | --> '''Commentator''': Has anyone ever graffitied your posters? |
| 105 | --> '''The Principal''': …YES. THAT TEACHER'S PET HAS OVERWRITTEN THE 'L' INTO A 'B' ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. |
| 106 | * LaResistance: #42 would like nothing more than to lead a insurrection against the entire School staff. The majority of her classmates are content to go with the flow. |
| 107 | * NoIndoorVoice: #42's voice is perfect for addressing large audiences. And horrible for whispering. |
| 108 | * RabbleRouser: #42 has been trying very diligently to turn herself into this, but consistently fails because her fellow Students find her too annoying. |
| 109 | * TheCassandra: She claims to have seen [[spoiler: Error escape the Factory. ]] Though Error can't remember this happening, and nobody believes her, Error ends up treating #42 better than most Cassandras by telling her she's [[BlatantLies faking amnesia,]] and arranging a meeting with her in the Art Room. |

| 114 | [[caption-width-right:350: Beneath her straitlaced exterior beats the heart of a troublemaker. A perfect partner for the Pink Girl.]] |
| 115 | |
| 116 | --> '''#54''': You mentioned a 'home', somewhere that wasn't the School. Could… Could you take me there with you? |
| 117 | --> '''Pink Girl''': ..Yeah, but-Home's kinda in the grey-zone- |
| 118 | --> '''#54''': That's fine. In 9 class cycles, we graduate… I don't want to die. |
| 119 | |
| 120 | A student who takes a fast interest in Pink Girl. They soon establish a friendship, combining their efforts to escape the School together. |
| 121 | ---- |
| 122 | |
| 123 | * ADayInTheLimelight: At the same time Error is taking her very first Language Arts class, #54 briefly becomes the hero of in her own separate side story in Gym class, with #42 as her sidekick. |
| 124 | * BeigeProse: #54 speech patterns have a very concise, utilitarian exactness to them. She and all her fellow Students have been trained to speak with excellent grammar, free of excessive verbiage, hyperbole, idioms, imaginative wordplay, metaphors, poetic arrangement of every sort, pop culture references, sarcasm. similes, slang, and vulgarisms. |
| 125 | * TheConfidant: #54's the only one so far whom Pink Girl can truly open up to. |
| 126 | * DarkSecret: [[spoiler: She's the true [[OddballDoppelganger Factory Error of her class.]]]] |
| 127 | * FriendshipTrinket: The cutesy barrette which Pink Girl gives to #54 to tell her apart from her fellow students. |
| 128 | * HeKnowsAboutTimedHits: Whenever there are new RPG rules which Error and her Commentators need to be informed of, #54's the one who'd used as a mouthpiece by some unknown force. She always blanks out whenever this occurs. |
| 129 | --> '''Error''': ..You're doing it again. |
| 130 | --> '''#54''': What? |
| 131 | --> '''Error:''' That thing you do where you talk like an NPC or something, it's kinda weird. |
| 132 | --> '''#54''': What are you talking about? Did I say something again? |
| 133 | * HeroesLoveDogs: Knowledge of what 'dogs' are was [[MindWipe erased from #54's brain]] at the Student Factory, along with all her other Earth memories. When The Janitor was describing everything that made Earth great, [[WordOfGod she found]] the very ''idea'' of [[http://strangeschoolnotsogreat.tumblr.com/post/127408775717/im-curious-to-know-what-it-is-about-the-grey-zone dogs]] as [[http://41.media.tumblr.com/383dcbc58d4eea739d81c1547a41c64c/tumblr_inline_ntjq8zZIJN1r7eood_500.png magical]] as regular girls find unicorns to be. |
| 134 | * IJustWantToBeFree |
| 135 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: An empty paint can from the art room. So far, she's used it in three different battles! |
| 136 | * NerdsLoveToughSchoolwork: The first time #54's personal inventory is examined, it's found to contain: the cutesy barrette Pink Girl had just given her, homework, and an almost-empty pen. |
| 137 | --> '''#54''': Ms Board says grey-zoners aren't capable of learning like we are. |
| 138 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: Even for a Student. |
| 139 | * TwinDesynch: In the beginning, #54 looks absolutely identical to ALL her female classmates. A cutesy barrette here, a slight hairstyle change there… she's starting to look more distinct. |

| 147 | --> '''Wires''': No, that's not what I meant. I'm Wires. |
| 148 | --> '''#24''': Wires? |
| 149 | --> '''Wires''': Yeah. Down here, survivin' the scavengers earns you a name. |

| 151 | A boy who was thrown in detention long ago, managing to survive where so many of his classmates did not. |

| 153 | |
| 154 | * ActionSurvivor: His classmates' corpses are piled up like hills, yet he's managed to adapt to life in detention. |
| 155 | * DoNotCallMePaul: Wires no longer answers to his old student number. |
| 156 | * EyeScream: One eye is just an empty socket. The other is cracked just like glass. Though Wires doesn't seem pained by this, it's a skin-crawling sight. |
| 157 | * TheStoic: Whatever delicate emotions Wires might've had before being dropped into detention have been hard-boiled out of him. |

| 163 | |
| 164 | --> '''Error''': HE'S coming too? |
| 165 | |
| 166 | A boy who's honestly a bit doltish and lacking in social graces. Nonetheless, he's still regarded as one of the 'coolest' kids in School, and a personal friend of #54. |
| 167 | |
| 168 | ---- |
| 169 | |
| 170 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: By far, #73 is the biggest walking punchline in the entire webcomic. But when his back's against the wall and the bad guys are out to eat him alive, this ButtMonkey's no shrimpy little capuchin, but a tough baboon who can bite back. |
| 171 | --> 73 drags his sharp weapons down the Screaminomicon's covers…. '''WOAH!''' It's a critical hit for 30 damage! |
| 172 | --> ''[The Screaminomicon screeches in agony and releases 73′s leg!]'' |

| 175 | * EdibleBludgeon: A rock-hard hamburger bun is #73's first weapon. |
| 176 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Error really doesn't care for him at all. He's much closer to #54, but even her patience with him is thin. |
| 177 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: Two words; he's tactless. |
| 178 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He very quickly gets on Error's nerves for being such an opinionated loudmouth. But when he sees Ghoulash intends to butcher Error, #73 doesn't even think twice about joining her fight against the killer cook. |
| 179 | --> '''#54''': I think we're gonna have to fight it. |
| 180 | --> '''Error''': Ugh... Fine, but I am NOT touching this thing with my bare hands. |
| 181 | --> '''#73''': …I'll help! |

| 183 | * TheOneGuy: He's the one male party member in Error's group. |
| 184 | * PasteEater |
| 185 | --> '''#54''': (to Error) He totally eats glue. |
| 186 | --> '''#73''': I HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. |
| 187 | * PopularIsDumb: His popularity definitely got a fresh shot in the arm when his classmates watched him face off against Ghoulash with #54 and Error. |
| 188 | * SchoolIdol: Early in the story, #54 had said that #73 was one of the [[http://strangeschoolnotsogreat.tumblr.com/post/120307995787/rapid-fire-question-time four most popular kids]] in the School. |
| 189 | * WorfHadTheFlu: #73 loses a lot of oil during his fight with the Screaminomicon. Since oil is like blood for Students, he's rendered too lightheaded to help Error fight Feartre, later on. |

| 219 | * DeathWish: He begs the girls to end his life. Eventually, someone else grants his wish. |
| 220 | * ShockCollar: An ever-present source of torture for this boy; it shocks him anytime he shows even the tiniest sign of slackening as a hall monitor. |
| 221 | * TechnicallyASmile: Apparently, while regular Students are expected to be perpetually deadpan, Hall Monitors are expected to be perpetually smiling. |
| 222 | * VerbalTic: Constantly speaks like someone undergoing serious electrocution. [[ShapedLikeItself For obvious reasons.]] |
| 223 | * YouHaveFailedMe: When the girls got the best of him in a brawl, [[spoiler: someone on the School staff expressed his disappointment by goring Jeremy with some kind of freaky alien spikes and writing 'FAILURE' on the wall in his own robotic oil]]. (So much for seniority.) |
| 224 | * YouShallNotPass: He pulls this on any student he finds without a hall pass. For this reason, he's the first enemy Pink Girl physically fights. |
| 225 | * YouWillBeSpared: Unlike all their other Students, the teachers have exempted the Hall Monitor from ever having to graduate. Thus, he has endured living at The School for multiple 'semesters.' |

| 239 | * DreamWalker: The Red Girl first meets the Pink Girl in a black purgatorial void. She tells the Pink Girl this "probably" isn't death, and that she'll be "waking up soon." Ergo; Red Girl has slipped into Pink Girl's slumbering subconscious in her debut scene. |
| 240 | * GhostlyGoals: Reuniting her brain with her body. |
| 241 | * IrrelevantSidequest: Let's not mince words: Pink Girl '''already''' has her hands full trying to escape the School with her friends and return to Earth. She has a very small window of time to pull this off before The Principal enacts his Armageddon on the School. Infiltrating the Student Factory to find Red Girl's body on top of all that... would appear to be more trouble than it's worth, regrettably. |

| 268 | * BigBrotherIsWatchingYou: Totalitarian dictators ''wish'' they could listen in on their subjects like this Principal can. |
| 269 | --> '''Commentator''': What's it like communicating with The Principal?\ |
| 270 | '''Miss Board''': Easy as pie! He hears everything, so you just have to say it out loud and he'll get the message! |
| 271 | * TheCaligula: Although nobody in this School would know the ''actual'' Caligula from Calvin Coolidge, The Principal knows himself to be this sort of person, and the rest of his staff quickly picks up on this as well, with each new underling he slaughters... |
| 272 | * CombatTentacles: His signature [[spoiler: execution]] method. |
| 273 | * CreepyChangingPainting: [[spoiler: Those are ''his'' eyes on all those LURN posters throughout the School. ]] |
| 274 | * DeaderThanDead: Any person who enters the Principal's office is regarded as this by those who have not. You could almost replace the term 'Principal' with 'gas chamber' for the first portion of the story, and practically nothing would be lost. |
| 275 | * DomesticAbuse: Appears to have at some point been in this sort of relationship with Ms. Board. He remains possessive of her and continues to use her low self-esteem as a means of controlling her. [[spoiler:She's [[http://strangeschoolnotsogreat.tumblr.com/post/138443316037 had enough]] ]]. |

| 286 | * MadEye: His eyeballs are NEVER still. |
| 287 | * NoNameGiven: He's always just 'The Principal.' Not even a PunnyName for him. |
| 288 | * NothingIsScarier: Never exits his office. Never heard speaking to others; not via the school's loudspeaker or even through his office door. E-mails and every form of writing are things he never uses. One would almost think he's merely a made-up, nonexistent boogeyman. Yet any individual or group who enters the Principal's office has no hope of stepping back out. '''Something''' is in that room. One ''powerful'' something. |
| 289 | ** Another example: upon learning that Pink Girl is a grey-zoner, Ms. Board says that she'll 'need to speak to the principal about this,' and pulls the new kid out of her classroom so she and he can have some privacy. |
| 290 | --> ''You can hear her '''talking to nobody''' in the classroom.'' |

| 295 | * SirSwearsALot: He drops the most f-bombs of the entire cast. |
| 296 | * TimeAbyss: He can confidently attach an awful lot of [[http://strangeschoolnotsogreat.tumblr.com/post/131383017752/she-cant-hear-you-now 'and evers']] after saying the word 'forever.' |
| 297 | * TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: |

| 299 | * TheWallsHaveEyes: So does the [[http://i.imgur.com/stFGuEI.png floor and ceiling,]] even if you can't perceive them being there. [[spoiler:And they're all his.]] |
| 300 | * TooSpicyForYogSothoth: He regards everyone from Burgrr, Inc. with disgust and some amount of unease. Anytime business meetings need to be held between The School and Burgrr, Inc., The Principal sends Ms. Board and Mx. Lator as his representatives... since no part of ''their'' bodies can be cooked into food. |
| 301 | * {{Tsundere}}: Complete with LuminescentBlush. |
| 302 | * VerbalTic: The Principal's words are often prefaced with a '>'. In the world of {{Interactive Comic}}s, that '>' signifies a command given. In other words, his voice is always commanding. |
| 303 | * VillainOverride: He's capable of [[spoiler: seizing control of Error's body, and froze her in place.]] The Commentators needed to confront him directly to get him to [[spoiler: relinquish control. ]] |
| 304 | * WeaksauceWeakness: The Principal has '''all''' the makings of a top-tier CosmicHorrorStory supervillain. He only needs to work out some kind of coping mechanism for [[spoiler: having RuleThirtyFour applied to him]], and he's set to go. |

| 340 | * HeroKiller[=/=]FetusTerrible: When this monster was "born," it was no gentle birth, as #104 can attest. |
| 341 | * PunnyName: A splicing of the words 'eye' and 'tripod.' |

| 345 | * ThereCanOnlyBeOne: According to the webcomic's [[AllThereInTheManual Monster Log]] [[http://strangeschoolnotsogreat.tumblr.com/monsters 'Only one Treyepod]] may exist at one time, if somehow a second manages to be, the first Treyepod will immediately expire on the spot.' |

| 367 | * BeingEvilSucks: By the [[http://strangeschoolnotsogreat.tumblr.com/post/136292344902/be-told-something final class cycle,]] she's certainly not boastful about what [[EvilTeacher kind of teacher]] she's been. |
| 368 | --> '''Ms. Board''': If I was a good person, I'd look back at those times I hurt you and think "Maybe that wasn't such a good thing of me to do"… If I was good… I'd have had enough self respect to save myself and everyone when I could. Was I a good person at some point in my life? Perhaps; I can't remember anymore. |
| 369 | * GeniusBruiser: It's unknown whether Board's intelligence is actually at genius-level, but she's educated enough to teach a class, ruthlessly cunning, and strong enough to break bones and doors. |
| 370 | * [[EvilTeacher Evil And]] SadisticTeacher: Breaking Error's wrist, then forcing her to sit through both a class of hers and an interrogation before dismissing her established Miss Board as a sadistic bully. Her evil was revealed in crushing Gretadan like a roach under her shoe, kicking #24 down into detention, and [[spoiler: ''ripping out the a portion of the Pink Girl's head with her bare fists.'']] |
| 371 | * InvisibleAnatomy: Much of Miss Board's body is completely invisible. Most noticeably her hands and neck. |
| 372 | * [[spoiler: MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: The Principal puts her through no end of mistreatment, certainly. And by the final class cycle, she's intent on helping the Students escape the School, somehow. ]] |
| 373 | * NightmareFetishist: She '''likes''' Brandi's face. |

| 395 | * [[MisterBig Miss Big]]: Ida stands only a little bit taller than a regular human eyeball would if it were pulled out of its socket and set upon the floor. Because of those little stick legs of hers. |

| 417 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Her lips are red! Her skin tone is what you'd expect of a real human woman; she's ''Caucasian''-white, instead of the chalky-whiteness seen in Students! |

| 450 | * ADogNamedDog: Because 'Calc U. Lator' doesn't even rightfully qualify as a ''pun.'' |
| 451 | * ItIsDehumanizing: Which suits Mx. Lator just fine. Though Mx. Lator is fully sapient, it is very comfortable with being a machine, and machine-appropriate pronouns. |
| 452 | * PetTheDog: Mx. Lator gets his simply by allowing Error to enter his classroom tardy with just a warning. He's nowhere near as forgiving to poor #24, moments later... |
| 453 | * SinisterSilhouettes: |
| 454 | --> '''Error''': …So the teacher's in that completely unlit corner that's surrounded by dead batteries and creepy cobwebs...? |

The poor girl couldn't even turn to her classmates for help, since Millie was keeping them all busy with a test. It didn't end well for Error. |

| 510 | * AbandonedArea: Nobody seems to have really entered into Ms. Quinn's classroom since her termination, making it ''the'' most private room within The School. Error uses this to her advantage. It becomes a de facto secret hideout where she can brainstorm plans with her friends. |
| 511 | * [[spoiler: BackFromTheDead: Because the Principal didn't have the faintest concept about concept cores.]] |
| 512 | * FiredTeacher: Except that what 'detention' is for Students, 'getting fired' is for teachers. |
| 513 | * GottaKillEmAll: When the Pink Girl and #54 enter the art room, they see large paintings of different-colored blotches, each with an X crossed through it... save for a red blotch and a pink blotch. The distinct implication is that [[spoiler: all these [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation different children]] are dead; (essentially, the paintings amount to a hit list with colors in place of names.) ]] Because it's 'artistically abstract,' the girls, themselves don't make that connection, though they do find the paintings ominous. |

| 532 | ---- |
| 533 | |
| 534 | * BlinkAndYouMissIt: The title and author on The Screaminomicon's front cover change blindingly fast... but a few of them include "''Helpme'' by: me", "''Getting SECRETS!!'' by: Jib Janeen", and "''Ruining Everything'' by: Heinrich". |
| 535 | * BooksThatBite: Clamps its chompers down on #73's leg like a miniature crocodile, and refuses to let go. |
| 536 | * ConvenientlyInterruptedDocument: At the bottom of the Screamonomicon's front cover are the words "Courtesy Of", but the name of the person in question has been blotted out. |
| 537 | * [[spoiler:DyingCurse: "''He'll Make You Pay For What You've'' by: Done To Me."]] |
| 538 | * EveryoneCallsThemBarkeep: Is prone to screaming, is called "The Screamonomicon", and not even [[TimeAbyss The Principal]] [[http://strangeschoolnotsogreat.tumblr.com/post/132284069727/whats-the-language-arts-teachers-name-your-own knows]] what this book should be called! The Students were the ones who nicknamed The Screamonomicon, because they somehow sensed that "AAAAAAHHH!!!!" wasn't actually their Language Arts teacher's rightful name. |
| 539 | * EvilTeacher: Bit down on #73's leg, intending to ''bleed him to death.'' He's an all-too-enthusiastic minion of The Principal. |
| 540 | * {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:A friend of Ms. Quinn]] delivered The Screaminomicon as a practical joke to infuriate the teaching staff. But they all got along with each other like butter and bread, and it was made into a teacher, itself. |
| 541 | ** The Principal assigned a very uncommunicative thing that barely talks and almost only screeches to teach kids the ''art of language.'' |
| 542 | * OverlyLongScream: The Book! |
| 543 | * PetTheDog: One could argue the Screaminomicon has one tiny saving grace: because it never gave any [[http://strangeschoolnotsogreat.tumblr.com/post/133840652167/read-the-strange-journal tests or homework,]] it was impossible for Students to fail its classes. If only all the ''other'' teachers could've been equally apathetic... |
| 544 | * SadisticTeacher: The Screaminomicon lets out bloodcurdling shrieks as a way of silencing Students. And all throughout its classes in general. That's as "academic" as his "teaching" ''gets.'' |
| 545 | * ShoutOut: One of The Screaminomicon's titles happens to be "''[[http://www.bogleech.com/creepy/creepybog-drphage.html Dr. Phage's Hospital]]'' by Bogleech" |

| 592 | * MisterBig: Equatoo's a member of the same species of fanged mathematical symbols as Lesdan and Gretadan. |

They can [[HealingPotion heal any injury]] they're placed upon, (albeit not quite instantaneously) and even '''[[OneUp reverse death,]]''' if enough are used. [[spoiler:More's the pity that Brandi and the Pink Girl have now become sworn enemies.]] |
| 612 | * BandageMummy: Only a single eyeball of hers is not covered in band-aids. |

She has one left eye but no right eye whatsoever. A grotesque VaginaDentata serves as her mouth, featuring teeth poking out of her ''lips,'' and a long pointed tongue. Yet both Miss Board and WordOfGod insist that she is a true human being… albeit a greatly mutated one. |
| 614 | * ComicallyIneptHealing[=/=]SuperDoc: Brandi's ''both these things at the same time.'' One one hand, she has no proper medical knowledge whatsoever, and it shows when kids come to her for healing. However, her band-aids more than '''completely''' negates her personal ineptitude. |
| 615 | * [[spoiler:EvilAllAlong: Starts off greeting Pink Girl cordially, giving her good advice, a hall pass, and even drawing her a map of the school. Brandi later turns around and immediately betrays the Pink Girl to Miss Board when the kid is desperate to hide from her in her infirmary.]] |

| 640 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Just 'The Janitor.' Same as in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/Scrubs Scrubs.]] |
| 641 | * FoodAsBribe: Whereas Merchant supplies 'goods,' The Janitor seems to be more of a 'services' provider. And it doesn't take a huge banquet to buy his cooperation, either. For a lollipop, he'll be your spokesman for whatever you want. For chewing gum, he stood by and kept his silence while #54 took Error's then-dead body from the detention chute. |
| 642 | * HatesSmallTalk: Responds tersely to chitchat. |
| 643 | * NeatFreak: His commitment to cleanliness what shifted him from regular Scavenger to custodian. |
| 644 | * ThePromisedLand: For a guy who doesn't like to chat, The Janitor's a surprisingly silver-tongued fellow. Originally, #54 didn't care so much about ''reaching'' Planet Earth in particular as simply escaping the School. But then Error paid The Janitor to really ''sell'' Earth to her, and sell he did. Now #54 regards Earth in much the same terms as [[WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack Flapjack]] regards [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Candied Island.]] |

| 708 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Ghoulash was in the midst of trying to kill a 9th grade girl to use as a meat source. Said girl threw a dinky little worm that had originally come from one of Ghoulash's own hamburgers. Ghoulash was satisfied and lost interest in the girl. |
| 709 | * BlobMonster: It's like some wizard took over 100 pounds of slop from a restaurant's dumpster, brought it to life with a magic spell, attached an apron and a hairnet, and assigned it cafeteria duties. |
| 710 | * EvilChef: In proud Burgrr Inc. tradition, Ghoulash is perfectly willing to use someone who's come to eat its food as an ingredient in a future meal. |
| 711 | * ItIsDehumanizing: Even though Meatlet Jr. calls Ghoulash 'Meatmama,' he insists that Ghoulash is not technically female. The narrative prose also emphatically applies the 'it' pronoun to the School's cook. |
| 712 | * LethalChef: The things Ghoulash serves children as lunch food are ambiguously edible at ''best.'' Although #54 ''was'' able to recover battle damage by eating her own lunch. |

| 741 | * TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether |
| 742 | --> '''Meatlet Jr.''': i love my mama and meatmama wansta hurt u ''so i wansta hurt u too'' |
| 743 | * TheSymbiote: Meatlet's relationship with Ghoulash is as parasitic as it is familial. |
| 744 | * WeWillMeetAgain: When Ghoulash loses interest in Error, Meatlet de-Hulks and follows after his sire, but not before letting it be known that at some point, he'll be picking up where he left off. |

| 756 | |
| 757 | Pitch-black humanoids discovered inside the Factory. Ostensibly, the ones who keep the Student Factory running, and [[spoiler: process kidnapped children from Earth into School Students.]] |
| 758 | ---- |
| 759 | |
| 760 | * BlobMonster |

| 774 | --> '''Dr. Realz''': Naw, I was gonnah square up like I was gonnah do this big ahttack to wipe 'er out… Ahnd at the lahst second boop 'er nose! |
| 775 | --> '''Error''': Please don't boop my nose. |
| 776 | --> '''Dr. Realz''': That's makin tha temptahtion WORSE! |
| 777 | |
| 778 | The genius responsible for bringing the living math symbols to life, and the first of the Art Teacher's allies that Error and her friends meet. |
| 779 | ---- |
| 780 | |
| 781 | * BornToPun: Dr. Realz loves puns and jokes. |
| 782 | * CatFolk: Either a cat or a fox… with purple fur. |
| 783 | * EvilAllAlong: When meeting up with cautiously wary-minded new acquaintances, Dr. Realz will ''cattily'' play the part of the treacherous villain. Purely for the sake of [[SubvertedTrope tweaking them.]] |
| 784 | --> '''Dr. Realz''': Ahre you ahfraid I'll reveahl my true identity and kill her? |
| 785 | --> '''Miss Quinn''': WE '''JUST''' DISCUSSED THIS, DOCTOR! ''NO PRETENDING YOU'RE SECRETLY EVIL!'' |
| 786 | * FunPersonified: Dr. Realz is a very lighthearted, carefree soul. |
| 787 | * [[spoiler:MajorInjuryUnderreaction: The Principal spikes Dr. Realz through the chest, and it merely causes the doctor's smile to drop away.]] |

| 800 | |

| 818 | --> ''[Yanderma runs at you with her weapons… And stabs you for 37 HP! That. That is '''not good.''']'' |
| 819 | |
| 820 | The first monster from The Abyss which Error encounters. |
| 821 | ---- |
| 822 | |
| 823 | * CuteAndPsycho: For a very permissive definition of 'cute,' but a very straightforward definition of 'psycho.' In addition to all her Student-killing, Yanderma apparently is under the delusion that she's a Japanese schoolgirl. |
| 824 | * ImAHumanitarian: Yanderma's already eaten multiple Students by the time Prof. Lidre tells Error to deal with her. |
| 825 | * InsectoidAlien: A large anthropomorphic tick. |
| 826 | * LookBehindYou |
| 827 | --> '''Error''': …WOW, WOULD YA LOOK AT THAT! THERE'S A SUPER CUTE EVEN TASTIER GIRL BEHIND YOU! |
| 828 | --> '''Yanderma''': Eeeeh~!? Who is it?? Who's attracting my one and only love's eyes like this?? |
| 829 | --> ''[Yanderma turns around… And you stab her for 18 HP!]'' |
| 830 | * TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Error wonders if Yanderma's bow is even attached to anything. |
| 831 | * ThemeNaming: Yanderma is a total {{Yandere}}. She's also [[AllThereInTheManual said]] to be [[http://strangeschoolnotsogreat.tumblr.com/monsters searching for her twin sister]] named [[{{Tsundere}} Tsunderma.]] |
| 832 | * WakeUpCallBoss: Yanderma's the very first adversary who not only overpowers Error in combat, but ''wins.'' |
| 833 | * {{Yandere}}: Creepily insists Error is none other than her beloved "[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics skin-pai]]" while carving her up with kitchen utensils. It's not until Error's dead that Yanderma realizes she's got the wrong person. |
| 834 | --> '''Yanderma''': My skin-pai doesn't have that many organs… Whoops~. |
| 835 | |
| 836 | !! Feartre |

| 840 | |
| 841 | --> '''Coma & Traja''': WELCOOOOOMMMMEEE TO THE SHOW!!!!! |
| 842 | |
| 843 | Yanderma's drama teacher. |
| 844 | ---- |
| 845 | |
| 846 | * AwesomeDearBoy: InUniverse. Feartre came to the School specifically to hunt Error down, because grey zoners are apparently reputed to be especially histrionic beings. |
| 847 | --> '''Coma''': WE HEARD THERE WAS A GREY-BREACH IN HERE TOO! GREY ZONERS…..THEY'RE SO SIMPLE, BUT SO DRAMATIC! |
| 848 | * BerserkButton: Mentioning, er... [[{{Theatre/Macbeth}} The Scottish Play]]. |
| 849 | * DeaderThanDead: When Error, #54, and Merchant all beat Feartre in combat, Yanderma shows no grief because she's confident her drama teacher will [[Webcomic/AwfulHospital bounce right back.]] Merchant disagrees. |
| 850 | --> '''Merchant''': …big fishy not comin back |
| 851 | --> '''#54''': …Hm? |
| 852 | --> '''Merchant''': we killeds tha cores…big fishy gonna be ded |
| 853 | * EvilIsHammy: You were expecting anything less from a monster with a theater gimmick? |
| 854 | * MultipleHeadCase: Feartre is a two-headed creature. |
| 855 | * PunnyName: Instead of 'theatre' it's FEAR-tre. Puns also apply for the individual heads. The head ending in a tragedy mask is named 'Traja,' while the head ending in a comedy mask is named 'Coma.' |
| 856 | * TurnsRed: An InvertedTrope, in this monster's case. Coma and Traja's attacks were more fearsome BEFORE the girls mentioned Macbeth, and they were maddened into crying TearsOfBlood. |
| 857 | |
| 858 | !! Folly Culls |
| 859 | |
| 860 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/folly_culls.png]] |

| 862 | |

| 864 | |
| 865 | A hair-based monster. |
| 866 | ---- |
| 867 | |
| 868 | * BrainFood: Folly slurps out victims' brains through their ''scalps.'' |
| 869 | * ElmuhFuddSyndwome |
| 870 | --> '''Folly Culls''':THAT BAWWETE……IT CHANGES TOO MUCH… NOT STYWISH AT ALL… YOUW HAIW? BWAND….BWAND AND BWACK… BOTH OF YOUW…. |
| 871 | * GrotesqueCute: Folly plays up the cutesy girly angle to a sickening degree. |
| 872 | * HoldingTheFloor: Folly was intent on stalling Error and #54 until the Treyepod could catch up. And it worked. |
| 873 | * PunnyName: Follicles. |
| 874 | * SchmuckBait: All Folly's entreaties to look into her eyes. Fortunately, the girls don't fall for it. |
| 875 | * TheUnfought: Folly Culls enters a "battle" against Error and #54. But though the Commentators offer a variety of battle advice... for some reason, the girls don't land a single blow on this monster. And vice versa. More or less an "Unfight," (if you will.) |
| 876 | |

| 878 | |
| 879 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/playtime_chicka.png]] |
| 880 | [[caption-width-right:300:Can YOU make sense of this thing?!]] |
| 881 | |
| 882 | --> '''Playtime-Chicka''': PARENT ADVISE! ONLIE 3 AND UPS! A WONDERFUL TERROR MOUTH! CUT AND UP AND UP! OPTION MASK! COVER WITH DOCTOR MASK, NOT SO TERROR! WITH ACCESSORY KNIFE! KNIFE GO IN RED COME OUT! LOTS AND LOTS OF TERROR RED! REAL HAIR! DARKNESS! STRINGY AND MATT! BUT NOT MATT MATT! MATT HAIR NOT MATT! |
| 883 | |
| 884 | A monster left in a box for Toto Realz, by someone who's definitely no fan of the doctor. Error and #54 find it instead. |
| 885 | ---- |
| 886 | |
| 887 | * {{Expy}}: If Chica from VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys were to have a mutant baby with a Magboil from Webcomic/AwfulHospital, then Playtime-Chicka would be that baby. |
| 888 | * IntentionalEngrishForFunny: Very little of what Playtime-Chicka says makes ANY sense. |
| 889 | * SwallowedWhole: In the process of eating Anna Tomi, Playtime-Chicka swallowed Iris Yuu whole. |
| 890 | * TheUnfought: As with Folly Culls, the girls enter a fight sequence against Playtime-Chicka in which no fighting takes place. |
