Ah. Hm.
Well, We suppose.... We would like some elaboration????
You've died, and you will again quite soon, if you are not "maintained".
I have many items that will heal our guests of such an affliction [ death. death is the affliction. ] but they come with varied effects... and your teeth are already... well, it will have to work.
If you accept that you will be altered of body and mind slightly for the next little while, I will have you saved.
[They appreciate the asking. Both of them. Maybe Strychnine more than retribution, though they both regard the vampire teeth with confusion. That is not a device that they are aware of, but frankly...
Morningstars think AI are people and would never do a real maintenance on them so they suppose they are not the ones to judge.]
Very well, We would prefer Our lives, and We are no stranger to body and mind alterations.
Wonderful. I will make certain to have refreshments sent to your room afterwards.

anyway, reaching into their mouth without an ounce of fear and the teeth just click into place. they form to the ones there already and enhance just slightly, as if they're just normal teeth. when you're all healed, they'll just be silly vampire teeth again when you wake up! ]

He blinks a little as he wakes up and coughs up some sand.]
Ohhh... rough night.

Re: Morning Day 4
.... Right right. Of course, nothing comes for free, yes yes. Do you take credits?

[ he's reaching into the end of his mop, as if it's a ?bag? and... pulling out a plastic pair of costume vampire teeth. ]
...hmmmmmmmmm... this might be interesting.
