Best Answer

As with any conjunction, or could be used to continue a thought, which was first stated in a preceding sentence :

Example : I could go walk to the docks and tire myself out. Or you could go, and then I wouldn't have to.

The other way would be part of a direct quote :

Example : "Or else" was a vague but effective end to his demands.
