[It's Curious Robot o' Clock.

And as he has tended to do lately, he has a lot of questions with regards to humanity (or just - general sentience as an organic being with free will).]

I will need a name. Please advise.

It is part of the orb's request, that my 'personal goal' requires I allow someone else to name me.

What is the importance of a name, to a human? I've used a name someone from my universe called me, to help conceal my identity; it did not feel like it belonged to me, but it served its purpose temporarily. Instead, I have a serial number associated with me. Something equivalent to an I.P. address to monitor me as an individual within Skynet...

What does it mean to you? Your 'name'?

Do you care for it?

[Rita finally found someone who will put up with it, a true miracle.

But also, he seems to genuinely be trying to understand what she's talking about. It's an extremely human thing, something he's not sure he can truly pick up — a name shows something so specific? It doesn't make sense. Even so, he's always one to make an earnest attempt.

Standing as stone-still as ever, he says plainly:]

I am Ivan King, the Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Series 800 Terminator.

[ rita is always ever so charmed by any effort people put into letting her do her thing. even if the result is less than impressive when he follows her instructions. ]

Oh ... kay. Well! [ she gives a light laugh, giving a way of her hand. ] We can definitely work on that, but you're off to a good start. Maybe we can tone down on the title a bit.

Have you ever taken acting lessons, Ivan? Because I can give you a few to help you practice a more ... casual flow of speech.

Tone down. [He understands. It is too boisterous.

(And yet, his current style is apparently not.)]

... I am able to replicate speech patterns if I have spokent to someone long enough.

[A pause, and then, in Rita's voice (and with no change of expression):]

I am Rita Farr, and I can handle any challenge — in style!

[That's what you mean by acting lessons, right?]
