As with all games you can play at whatever pace you want (although here you won't be penalized). If you have to interact with someone else a conversation can be placed outside of time. *note - You have to give enough time for anyone else in the area to join in (a day or two) before it is 'outside of time'. Once outside of time you can RP your character having left and doing other things and could reference things as they become relevant. If you're doing battle or some such you might want to wait, or you could do something that depends not at all upon the outcome.
