Toothpick Trail

Superheroes all have signature accessories. The Lone Ranger has his silver bullet, Superman has his cape, Zorro has his sword, Wonder Woman has her whip. (hmmmmmm, Wonder Woman is kind of kinky isn't she??) But if they fall into the wrong hands, superhero accessories can lead to the discovery of their possessor's secret identities. Dundundah!

PE's superhero accessory has always been the toothpick. (Rumor has it that his was a difficult birth because he was born with one in his mouth.) The pressure of being a superhero sooner or later takes a toll on one's vigilance. In the beginning PE would leave a toothpick at the scene of some catastrophe he had helped the denizens of Alterno World avoid. But lately, PE has become more indiscriminate in where he leaves them, AND picks them up. (Being a scrupulously frugal superhero, PE long ago quit whittling his own toothpicks from flotsam found on the scene of his latest triuimph, instead choosing to ceremoniously pick several up each time he frequents local restaurants, which is frequently.) Magnet Strip Girl became aware of this one day when she discovered PE was leaving a trail of toothpicks everywhere he went. She sprang into action and immediately joined Alterno World's Caretakers of Aging Superheroes Support Group, who meet on the internet to carefully guard anonymity and offer problem solving for scenarios not discussed in your typical superhero school.

Now MSG's main responsibility of the day is to 1)pick up PE's trail of accidental superhero accessory droppings, and 2)place her body between the toothpick dispenser and the security camera when PE "goes for the toothpick". These are daunting tasks, but Magnet Strip Girl understands the importance of guarding PE's secret identity. Who knows when Jack Bauer will call upon him for backup to save the world???????
