When you load the a scenario for the first time, Talemate will need to initialize the long term memory model. Which likely means a download. Just be patient and it will be ready soon.

## Interacting with the scenario
After a moment of loading, you will see the scenario's introductory message and be able to send a text interaction.

Its time to send the first message.
Spoken words should go into `"` and actions should be written in `*` . Talemate will automatically supply the other if you supply one.

Once sent, its now the AI's turn to respond - depending on the service and model selected this can take a a moment.
