Fabulous Rebecca in Alpha and Omega

None of the stuff in the fridge is crinkly, but the containers' materials are still otherwise peculiar. A lot of the shelf food is inside thick weird paper boxes which if opened prove to have crinkle stuff hidden inside, surrounding the food, but the hot chocolate powder as she has already seen is in little weird-paper envelopes, and it turns out the Bira Bulk Variety Pack is too. The ULTRA FLAVOR SATURATION MEROESI appears papery on the outside but if she tears it open it turns out to be lined with flimsy shiny maybe-metal.

Probably if any of this were somehow staggeringly valuable she would not have been turned loose among it so she will go ahead and open and eat things that look good from a "which of these alien foods would you most like to try" perspective.

If that happens to be the cookies she'll find that a flap of the crinkly stuff tears off with way less force than she was probably expecting! But the edges of the panel are clean and it's not hard to stick it back on if she tries. The cookies themselves are butterscotch chip, and texturally pretty soft.

Danishes! With a variety of unidentifiable fillings. "She also wants to know if you want the congregation to know about you, or that there was a miracle in general." She peels back the plastic so Rebecca doesn't have to try one-handed. "I understand discretion, if you don't."

"People will want to ask you a lot of questions and you might not want to be bothered with them right now, is the main thing."

"Well, I'll let the Mother know, then. If you don't want to miss the service you can come up when you hear music, or sooner."

"We believe in selective choirs but there's also regular congregational singing, and praise concerts at the later service. Participatory and non-."

"You can follow along in the hymnal, for the congregational parts. And I think some of the praise songs project sheet music. I haven't gone to the second service in a few years; that might be wrong."

". . . There's a spot on the wall where it will appear. Because of a person operating a machine, not the songs themselves."

"I think most of the other universes which God has saved people from have had lower tech levels than we did, at the time." She re-wraps the danishes. "So there might be a lot of things like that."
