A package arrived for Max, containing a single “weapon,” though the delivery receipt indicated it was one of two items in an order. Wrapped in tissue paper in a silver box patterned with stars and planets was a light-up wand, along with a hand-written message:

Max,

You were the real star of the show Tuesday night. I’m glad you were there.

If you’re up for it, challenge me to a fight sometime with your new weapon. I’ve got one to match it.

Text to Penny: Sorry for the sudden text but I was able to find your contact information through the party planning committee registry. If you're interested in work I have a job for you! My wedding anniversary will be coming up soon and I'm in the need of something absolutely perfect for my partner. Can you find me something with jade? I can buy jade here in the city but.. I want something with a little more age and meaning behind it!

Text to Penny: Oh. I should have asked before making the request. You are a treasure hunter too? Right? You don't just hunt monsters?

[Penny Escobar]

Text to Na-rae: Sure, I can get you something. What’s the time frame?

[Mai Sato]

Text to Penny: I have enough of old jade in my warehouse. If you want to come up here and poke around I'm sure we can find something.

A delivery was made to Na-rae’s office above the Pachinko Palace in Kabuki. Penny gave it to one of the girls with strict instructions that it was for Na-rae’s eyes only.

The box was wrapped in brown paper and inside was a Jade rabbit statue and two notes from the Monster Treasure Hunter.

This took longer than expected but should get to you in time. Good news: the curse is removed and its safe to touch. Enjoy and happy anniversary to you and Izumi. – Penny

The additional note explained the magical properties of the statue if she chose to use it more than a lovely decoration.
