Left for Maurice at the radio station is a plain box, wrapped in brown paper and decorated with an ornate red bow. When opened, a jack in the box springs out with a loud sound!!! Yes, a jack in the box. The springy monster inside looks suspiciously like Alastor, with twisted antlers and a yellow toothy smile... but after the trap is sprung, there's something else in the bottom of the box -- a little red cloth bag tied with a piece of twine and sealed with wax. It has a unique smell, like charcoal, herbs, lavender, and a hint of something sweetly rotten.

There's a vintage-style christmas card with a handwritten note inside -- "All in good fun, my good man :) As for the little bag, now that you're an angel working in Hell, I'm sure you've run afoul of demons playing nasty pranks on your way to work. Carry that little gris-gris with you, and they should keep their distance. Take care not to open it, or it loses its charm. Merry Christmas! - ALASTOR"
