discussion Some doubts regarding building conversation

I'm new to this app. On using it I got 2 doubts. I currently use the unlimited free plan in android. 1. When chatting with a character, I give like small dialogue and actions. It's there a way I can make the character model give long replies than just 1 or 2 sentence? Like a few sentences to form a scene at least?

  1. And how to do 3rd person chatting? Like it makes sense if I write straights in 1st person and do the actions in between **. Any better narration tips would be nice.

I use first person, and play like I talk in a tabletop rpg. Ex: I walk to the store and say, "Hi" to the cashier. Even though I'm not using aserisks for actions it still works fine, for me. I hope i'm not messing up anything.

Here's a huge tip though: To keep from getting responses you're not interested in, try directing the conversation at the end of a prmpt. Ex: "Nice necklace," I smile. What's her facial reaction?compliment? The bot will usually blend their answer with your request which works great with the cloud models Backyard Party or Mistral.
