The address of this interruptible subcommand routine is placed into bytes 0x09 and 0x0A of MISS TAKE's buffer by the routine at 7E75. It makes MISS TAKE stalk ERIC while he's in the girls' skool or the girls' playground, but stand on guard by the skool gate if ERIC is on the boys' side.

||||||||
| 7E7B | LD L,$1D | Point HL at byte 0x1D of MISS TAKE's buffer | ||||||
| 7E7D | LD A,$CD | 0xCD=ALBERT | ||||||
| 7E7F | SET 7,(HL) | Set bit 7 at byte 0x1D of MISS TAKE's buffer, making her run | ||||||
| 7E81 | LD ($7FF5),A | Set the character number of the adult who last gave ERIC lines (stored at 7FF5) to 0xCD (ALBERT); this has the effect of making any teacher (including whoever last gave ERIC lines) available for lines-giving ASAP (see 7D20 and 7D3E) | ||||||
| 7E84 | LD L,$00 | Point HL at byte 0x00 of MISS TAKE's character buffer | ||||||
| 7E86 | BIT 0,(HL) | Is MISS TAKE midstride? | ||||||
| 7E88 | JP NZ,$655E | Finish the stride if so | ||||||
|
Now check whether a command list restart has been requested. This request will have been made if the lesson in which MISS TAKE started chasing ERIC has ended, and the next lesson has just begun (see F74D).
|
||||||||
| 7E8B | LD L,$1D | Set the zero flag if MISS TAKE should continue hounding ERIC | ||||||
| 7E8D | BIT 0,(HL) | |||||||
| 7E8F | LD L,$01 | Collect the teacher's coordinates in DE | ||||||
| 7E91 | LD E,(HL) | |||||||
| 7E92 | INC HL | |||||||
| 7E93 | LD D,(HL) | |||||||
| 7E94 | JR Z,$7EA2 | Jump if this teacher is MISS TAKE and she should continue chasing ERIC | ||||||
| 7E96 | CALL $63D2 | Is the teacher on a staircase? | ||||||
| 7E99 | JP NC,$6390 | If not, terminate this interruptible subcommand | ||||||
|
The chase is over, and the teacher is on a staircase. It's not a good idea to remove the interruptible subcommand routine address from bytes 0x09 and 0x0A of the teacher's buffer at this point, though, because the next command in the teacher's command list will be 6464, and that command will not work if the teacher's starting point is on a staircase. So continue chasing ERIC until the top or bottom of the staircase has been reached.

| 7E9C | JP $6558 | Continue chasing ERIC | ||||||
| 7E9F | NOP | |||||||
| 7EA0 | NOP | |||||||
| 7EA1 | NOP | |||||||
|
MISS TAKE is chasing ERIC, but she only chases so far.
|
||||||||
| 7EA2 | LD A,($D201) | A=ERIC's x-coordinate | ||||||
| 7EA5 | CP $8A | This x-coordinate is just to the right of the plant in the girls' playground | ||||||
| 7EA7 | JR NC,$7EAD | Jump if ERIC's to the right of this | ||||||
| 7EA9 | LD A,E | A=MISS TAKE's x-coordinate | ||||||
| 7EAA | CP $89 | This is the x-coordinate where MISS TAKE stands on guard for the truant ERIC | ||||||
| 7EAC | RET Z | Return if MISS TAKE is already here | ||||||
| 7EAD | JP $6558 | Otherwise MISS TAKE continues chasing ERIC | ||||||
