These sort of events were fraught for Emmalee, dancing over the line between personal and professional. She was here in a work capacity - how could a department head not come to the mixer for the minister candidates - but the nature of the event required small talk. Personal niceties. She hoped, perhaps against hope itself, that no one would inquire after her family. She was already dreading the conversations that would come when the name on her door switched once more.

The raffle tables, then, seemed a good place to begin her evening, as one could walk along their length in relative silence, under the assumption that they were contemplating their choices. And largely, she was. Emmalee was looking for something for her girls. Something fun for them all, in the face of... everything that was happening.

She paused in front of the basket that contained abraxan rides and sanctuary tours. She sighed, looking at the single plush toy. One toy would not do for two girls and they were perhaps too young for the rides. She did, however, make mental note to call after Tiberius. They'd not spoken much recently.

Emmalee kept moving, coming to a stop in front of Basket #4. Yes. Perfect. A family portrait session for her and her girls. The painting was nice, too, but what she really wanted was an afternoon with her daughters, capturing smiles. She quickly deposited ten entries. But to kill some more time, she continued along the table. She paused, considering Basekt 6, and rolled the items over in her head as someone else put their own entries in. That certainly would be a nice treat for herself... and didn't she deserve one? Five entries for Basket 6.

Satisfied with her actual entries, Emmalee nevertheless continued to examine each basket in turn. Perhaps she could stay here most of the night.

OOC: 10 entries Basket #4; 5 entries Basket #6
