Well then. There you are. What's next? You can see a white bar, with a [Look/Talk] button. The cursor is in the white bar, and you're ready to type. When you hit [Enter] or you click [Look/Talk] your line will be submitted, the page will be refreshed and your line is there now as well.
Is that all? Yes. Or to be more precise: no.
