That is actually a fantastic question Beatnory. Usually, in an RP, there will be some sort of order. There are two general types of orders and one that isn't common, but I've seen work before.
The two common types are referred to as either Wave or Ordered. Ordered posting is when everyone is assigned a position to post in and the order is followed. An example of this would be Jovi, then Colio, then Sig, then you, then Me, then... if you get the idea. Jovi will always post first, then Colio, then Sig, and so on and so forth without variation. The other type is Wave where there is no posting order except that you are only allowed to post once per "round". The round is started when Jovi posts and a new round will begin whenever she posts again. Your job in a wave post is to make sure that you post before Jovi posts that second time.
The third structure I've seen is a split wave post where everyone is assigned to a specific leader and they wave post with them in the same thread. It's awkward, but it works with a good bit of effort from the RP leader.
Here however, we don't really have a post order, so you don't have to worry about it.
Otebon had expected getting pushed or shoved. He'd been trained for combat a long time ago and he was fully aware that 99.9% of fights featuring an untrained fighter began that way.
Otebon let himself stumble away and allowed his opponent to turn back to Jovi, presenting his back to Otebon. He continued to berate her and Otebon smiled to himself. Thank you.
A few quick steps brought his up behind Jacen and a quick movement of the hands brought his right hand around Jacen's throat from behind while his left hand went under Jacen's left shoulder. Otebon shoved his right side into Jacen's spine to present no target for flying elbows and kicked out the back of Jacen's knees.
He was hoping the big guy would fall over and Otebon could get him into some sort of submission hold, but Jacen was quite a big guy...
