I want Kara working on a project with some coworkers and them joking about her appetite being alien and her nervously saying, “well, I am.” They laugh nervously, like it was a joke, but she just stares and says with more determination, “I am an alien.”
And she looks calm but actually she’s having like five panic attacks all at once and they all shuffle in a nervous way before one awkwardly mumbles, “well, uh, that’s interesting.” and Kara kind of wants to melt into the floor but then her other coworker with a lot more tact smiles and puts a hand on her shoulder and thanks her for sharing it with them. As far as traumatic incidents go, its not too terrible
I want Kara having tension with another alien working at CatCo who is very gruff and standoffish and bright green and it ends in them having a big fight wherein Kara yells at them for not being a better example of what aliens are like and the coworker saying, “That’s easy for you to say, we can’t all pass as human like you.”
And Kara’s just stuttering out a denial but the other alien leans in close and says, “You may look like them, but you don’t smell like them. I know what you are, and the only reason you act like this is because they don’t know, too.”
