{{work}}
A fantasy take on ''[[Alien Nation (TV series)|Alien Nation]]'', in which fantasy species find themselves in the human world, trying to adapt. Actually attempts to take a more realistic take on this (to some extent), with all the paranoia, [[Fantastic Racism]] and bureaucracy that would actually happen. The main story follows Noelle, a rather petulant and very determined elf, who tries her hardest to get a job and stay off the streets, while having to deal with not only her human enemies and plain apathy, but also a set of hangers-on who make her life complicated, and a burgeoning invasion attempt by dark elves.
Notable for a story with an unusual amount of development and surprises.

* [[Evil Matriarch]]: Drow society is revealed to be so backstabbingly treacherous that even the nicest of matriarchs are forced to become vicious tyrants to keep their positions and their heads. The villain of the first arc turns out to be quite sympathetic because of this.
* [[Expressive Ears]]: This is used with elves, [http://corneralley.comicgenesis.com/d/20040519.html here.]
Line 28:
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Noelle fails to realize that [http://corneralley.comicgenesis.com/d/20040604.html Tsac has feelings for her].

'''Kh'ohl:''' "...Cole will do." }}
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: Tsac Tuo is revealed to be {{spoiler|the shapeshifter Drel in disguise}}, and points out that his name is "just outcast spelled backwards". The heroine's response? "I thought it sounded foreign."
