[The Gear turns on to show Rika holding up an Umbreon so that it's facing the camera.]

Prince evolved last night. He's done very well so far, but it's exciting to see him evolve.

[Rika smiles at the Umbreon before addressing the Gear again.] I would like to thank everyone who gave me presents for Christmas. I hope everyone had a good holiday and enjoyed spending time with friends and family. This has been my second Christmas here, and it was just as fun this year as it was last year.

[As Rika takes a breath to say something else, her Umbreon suddenly leaps from her arms and runs out of sight before Rika can move after him. She sighs and a tiny pout has replaced her smile.] Mii... He's still very excited about evolving so he's very energetic right now. I think he wants me to play hide-and-seek with him. I wish he wouldn't decide to play in a city, though.

I suppose it's time to start looking for him. [And with that, Rika cuts the feed.]

(ooc: This is late, but here are Rika's Christmas gifts! They would have been delivered to everyone on Christmas day.)
